naushika- still can't stop thinking about Thor 2 tbqh. I've got my comic book club this week & so I'll be spending a bunch of money picking up my comics (I switched my pull list to the comic shop the book club is at! I love this comic shop; it's family run and they're super nice and actually really into comics, not like the last place >.<) and also buying next month's book probably, so I can't see Thor 2 again for probably a couple weeks since I am basically out of money. (Unless I want to spend my food money. Which I could. Eating is dumb, right? MOVIES INSTEAD.) Woe upon me.
I patently refuse to read most reviews, forum threads, random tumblr posts, etc, about Jane Foster unless it's someone whose opinion I can probably guess in advance and know it to align with mine. Childish of me, maybe. But I love her and I have so many emotions and I just don't want to deal with the hate right now. I'd rather avoid it and live in my happy place.
- Sleepy Hollow remains fabulous. It's crazy how quickly the show settled into a groove for me. Some shows take me a while to get a feel for, and I mean, I was feeling SH by the end of the pilot. And I still am. I lead an Abbie Mills and Ichabod Crane appreciation life.
- In "Shows I'm Pretty Sure Only I Watch" news, Homeland and Boardwalk Empire are both SO, SO GOOD this season. Like, damn. Each of them are having their best season so far.
Boardwalk Empire especially has been impressing the pants off me. The story is more complex, but more understandable, and best of all, more interesting, than before. The writing is really good - all the characters are being used where they are best. The story is as dark as ever, but so real. And they have incorporated lots of funny moments. I hate to compare but it has developed that Breaking Bad quality of having strange, human, funny moments in the middle of all the crazy darkness. And the cinematography is sooo gorgeousssss.
JUST LOOK AT THOSE SHOTS.
- Agents of SHIELD has improved exponentially. If you dropped it after an episode or two you might consider picking it back up. Especially if the only reason you dropped it was because you thought there weren't enough character moments. The latest episode was so lovely and full of wonderful character stuff. I love everyone now. <3 And I have so many ships.. my multishipping is out of control on AoS.
- Aughghghg Revolution is consistently good this season. Heaven help me - I like Monroe now. Damnit. And it's SO FUNNY. Like, I mean, it's not a comedy. But it cracks me up so much.
CAN I JUST
LOOOOL.
- Still enjoying Haven, Elementary, and yes, even Once Upon a Time. But fuck Peter Pan, dude. Seriously. Fuck that guy.
According to Once Upon a Time, my hometown is two towns over from Storybrooke.
The red circle is where I grew up. The line on the map actually leads to a town called Thomaston, which I have been to many times. It was the nearest town with a movie theater. There's also a state prison there. I have been to the prison gift shop, lol.
When I was watching the episode I had to do a double-take on the map cause I was just like HEY I KNOW WHERE THAT IS. I've always wondered where Storybrooke is supposed to be in Maine and now I know. XD Which means I get to nitpick things yayyyy.

Date: 2013-11-12 11:00 pm (UTC)LOL. He IS a really good villain. I'm actually glad that for once OuaT seems to (so far) just have a BAD GUY who doesn't have some sob story that makes me sympathize with him (see: rumpel, regina, hook, basically every bad guy on this show ever). I'm enjoying hating Pan!

Like, I immediately bought those lead characters and their relationship, and that's nothing that can be done with writing or directing or anything else; completely actor-dependent, and they nailed it.
I've never been interested in Boardwalk Empire because of reasons, but those are some goddamned beautiful gifs.

Date: 2013-11-12 11:04 pm (UTC)That's exactly my feelings on Sleepy Hollow! The characters are so SPOT ON, both by themselves and their interactions. The plot could make no sense and all (and sometimes, it doesn't - I still don't understand what happened with that demon/book thing..) and it wouldn't matter. The actors are 100% of why this show is working for me!
Yeah, Boardwalk Empire is not an easily digestible show. I almost stopped watching it last season because I didn't love it and the plot was annoying me. But I do really like it this season. And YES. SO PRETTY!
