Everything that is not Merlin
No I am not Merlin squeeing 24/7 I had some things I totally forgot to write about because no, I am not Merlin squeeing 24/7 *coughs*
So first of all, let's talk about Alias season 3 ! I had stopped my Alias marathon 4 episodes in because I had a sudden urge to rewatch Kaamelott from the beginning, which is so not related to That Obsession in any way.
Right, so I've started Alias again and despite the obligatory suspension of belief that is necessary to go through the show starting with this season and my burning hatred of pre!evil!Lauren (which I didn't know I still had) IT IS TEH GREAT !
And speaking of the awesome list of classy guest stars the show had, I totally remembered the earlier ones like Quentin Tarantino, Roger Moore, Faye Dunaway, Ethan Hawke, Rutger Hauer and Christian Slater but I had completely forgotten about David Cronenberg and Isabella Rosselini in season 3 ! Of course by this season I was WTFing so often that I didn't remember much of the plot either. I also completely blanked out Quentin Tarantino's comeback but then I remembered him going on and on about the prettiness of Sark's hair and I was all "OMG HOW COULD I FORGET THAT SCENE WHERE HE COMPLIMENTS HIM ABOUT HIS HAIR. THIS IS SO AWESOME". And of course Lauren stopped being annoying the second she started killing people and making out with Sark.
All of this to say that Alias season 3, compared to monstrosities commited by other shows is 200% superior to the memory of fail I had of it.
It's a bit ironic really, since this season's theme is about memory loss, lulz.
So apart from the lastest episode ofMerlin WHICH WAS MADE OF 57 FLAVOURS OF WIN, saturday has been a mighty fine fanturday indeed for the highly entertaining values of Quantum of Solace and the ABSOLUTE BRILLIANCE that was the end of Dead Set.
Quantum was admitedly less good than Casino Royale but Daniel Craig is definitely the Hottest Bond of Them All simply because his version is all kind of fucked up. There's nothing more appealing to my eyes than a character with huge psychological and emotional issues and he was the main interest of the film because clearly the impressive lack of charisma of the bad guy and my extreme disliking of the new James Bond girl (I hated the actress in Hitman and it didn't improve much here)didn't do much for me.
The returning characters were much more successful in holding my interest. The death scene of Mathis blew me awayOMG FLASHBACKS to the Master's death and I hurt *so much* for Bond when he dumped his body in the bin *clings*
And of course,the awesomeness that is Bond and M's relationship was again the core of the film.
I enjoyed most of the action scenes even if they were less impressive than the Casino Royale ones (especially when you compare the opening action sequences of the two films). The fact that it was more action oriented made it more entertaining (less deep, inevitably) and I didn't feel the two hours pass.
I adored that the last scene from Quantum felt very similar in atmosphere to the opening one from Casinon Royale, just when I was disappointed that we didn't have something as awesome in the beginning of the film, eh.
I watched the finale episode of Dead Set with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jedicathy and angeliksmall and I must say that as a whole, this series left me impressed ! I was expecting a vaguely cracky but average zombie story when I first started watching it but I was surprised by how great the writing and acting ended up to be. It even got a great review from zombie expert Simon Pegg (apart from the nitpick which I found very cute ♥) !!!1!!11
I also did not expect them to go there for the ending and I was immensely pleased by it. Bonus points for the Doctor Who mention in the penultimate episode <3
Speaking of I am in love with the Doctor Who series 4 soundtrack ! All the songs from Turn Left are particulary brilliant, especially A Dazzling End which reminds me vividly of Donna's finest moment everytime I listen to it (OH DONNA.)and I also adore Song for Captivity and Freedom because it never fails to give me chills.
I also love the VOTD suite which is a bit lulzy since I despise the actual episode.
It really brings back nice series 4 memories and makes me want to see some episodes again.
Now to make my post title not accurate in the least, I should also thanktya_rc for pointing us to the failed pilot of Dis/Connected which we also ended up watching on saturday night.Why ? Well not for the fact that the pilot in itself is complete rubbish, but for the only reedeeming quality which is
That's right, IT HAS BRADLEY JAMES PLAYING A HUGE MANWHORE WHO SHOULD REALLY BE UNLIKABLE BUT IS BOTH HILARIOUS AND HOT AS HELL INSTEAD. ILHIM SO HARD. Thank god it was never picked up though, THANK GOD FOR ARTHUR.
Oh and it also has Clyde from sja as an obnoxious chav who turns out to be A GAY INNA CLOSET. THIS WAS A BIT WIN AS WELL.
But the rest sucked and there was not enough of the both of them. Incidently, I seem to have kept it anyway. x______x
I've also capped the hell out of 107 but AM TOO DISTRACTED TO GET ON WITH THE ICONING PART ALREADY.
And this fanturday, we're going to the Pierrefonds Castle withephyse and tya_rc. TEEHEE FRENCH!CAMELOT. I cannot wait for our first taste of Merlin's Excellent Adventures (you have no idea how lost Pierrefonds is XD At least we consider ourselves lucky that we don't have to spend much on a fannish trip for a change. Not that we already have plans to go there and have a look at the series 2 shooting when they come back next year, AT ALL.)
(btw I am not especially bored but this mood theme has Colin Morgan in it, therefore my non obsessive self was compelled to use it \o/)

ETA : and I just discovered that you have a sister ! I don't know why I wasn't aware of this information until now XD She has awesome taste !
AND YES, JULIAN IS JUST AMSDAMDLJASDJ. I love Alias.
ETA 2 : yes, I will try to not forget my camera :)

How much time does it take to go there from Paris? (not that I intend to have a look at the shooting of series 2 either AT ALL)
no subject
Isn't it AWESOME that for once we have the privilege to have a BBC series shot here ?? It's a bit far, we have to take a train at gare du Nord and then take a bus from Compiegne to Pierrefonds and there's not a lot of trains and buses. It's going to take about 1h45 to go there.
no subject
But yeah I think I have a lot of you in my flist and I've never met you, which is weird!
I was looking for a train station at Pierrefonds on the SNCF website and they don't even have one XD But it doens't matter I'm so happy to have a BBC shooting less than 2 hours from home that I'll just go once the shooting for series 2 will have started XD

No.
I totally loved Dis/connected!!! I'm not going to tell you all about Bradley-related fannishness but the guy playing Anthony (is he the one from SJA?) is really hot! I'd love to see the both of them going at it!!!!
Weirdly, I also had the Kaamelott urge so I did a good use of Youtube!
no subject
What I absolutely LOVE about you is that you're always ALWAYS reluctant to start something we're squeeing about and then you inevitably end up squeeing the loudest. ILU for this, darling.
Anthony was the supreme chavy brat ? Then yes, that is the awesome Clyde from SJA, playing his age for once (I agree on the hotness, then again I already perved on him as Clyde XD).
Les plaques doivent être peremptoire par rapport à la table, and that is trufax !
Je crois que c'est parce qu'un seul épisode de Merlin par semaine c'est beaucoup trop peu, alors on a besoin de compenser avec le plus approchant.
no subject
Anthony was the not gay black chav. The one who'd be going to have his charming face beaten up if there had been a second episode!
Je te jure, je suis cernée de référence arthurienne, je ne pouvais QUE retombée dans du Kaamelott. Je te raconterais tout ça demain. Tya t'as dit que le RDV est vers 10h à Gare du Nord?
no subject
Oui oui, tya m'a dit ^^
Trop hâte de squeer en live avec toi sur Merlin pour la 1ère fois !!
A demain <3
