this has been a post

+ Thank you so much to whomever did this! Seriously. The anonymous love meme is great and you should all nom people and check out the index because there's tons of names to love on.

Now, while I'm here, some stuff:

- [livejournal.com profile] mrinalinee on why Outsourced is actually the worst. WORRRRRST.

- Mostly inspired by you guys, I'm thinking of doing a thirty day female characters picspam meme on here and tumblr. Can I actually stick to it and finish it? WE SHALL SEE.

- speaking of female characters, there are very few to speak of in The Social Network. That is why I don't really care about it, Sorkin or no Sorkin. Not because it's the "Facebook Movie" (though I do hate Facebook), not because I am being a Cool Kid who's ~above it all~, but because I'm broke and don't have the extra money to spend on a narrative about affluent white boys and their lives, one that is supposed to ~define my generation~ as a Y-er, but in which I see no evidence of anything relating to my actual experiences. Maybe later, I will rent it. *kanye shrug*

- that last point was for you, Tumblr.

- I do love the soundtrack, though.

- [community profile] undercovers! I love that show you guys; it reminds me of shows like Leverage in terms of adorableness. I watch ach week completely blown away by Gugu Mbatha-Raw's face. If it gets cancelled I shall never recover.

- I am also watching Nikita. Which is actually not terrible, if you ignore the improbable plot and Shane West, whom I can't take seriously. And it's a shame because he really really wants me to take him seriously, you can tell by his Serious Face. [personal profile] glass_icarus likes to call his permanent expression that of a grumpy teddy bear, and I think that fits. HOWEVER, Nikita is great, Alex is great, and I'm two eps behind but looking forward to catching up.

- I was going to review TVD, but it wasn't my favorite episode in a lot of ways, and also I am lazy.

- I'm in a weird mood. kind of grumpy, but very hyper as I've had sugar. That might explain this mess of a post.

- ...that's about it. Happy Monday errbody. ♥ How you doin', say hey if you want!

Haaaa, this is EXACTLY why I'm not interested in seeing The Social Network. Not to say that my antipathy towards fb plays no part! but, you know- I want to see different stories than that (my stories, your stories, our stories). Also wow, Outsourced, what a hot mess. D:

(& ahahaha, Angry Teddy Bear = tm [personal profile] wanderlight, but I guess I can accept credit for grumpy! xD)

Damn, Heather, some people are really invested in making sure you spend your money on The Social Network and enjoy it! All they are saying is give the privileged white boys a chance!

Idk I will probably see it because I like movies and I went to a college with Harvard-like levels of nerdiness, but I totally get your reasons for wanting to give it a pass.

I'm not sure whether I'll stick with Nikita. I like the actresses but I don't think it's really my kind of show. Definitely enjoying Undercovers though!

Oooh also yay love meme index! I was playing around there yesterday but I got pretty lost with so many threads, so this will make going back much easier.

I'm endlessly amused by Shane West because, to me, he is a dead ringer for Paul McDermott. Here: Youtube vid of Paul McDermott singing "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" with Mark Trevorrow"

Trevorrow's stage name is 'Bob Downe'. I think you know where we're going with this. Any minute on Nikita I expect West to break into a gaytastic, show stopping, dance tune. Let's dance like we're gettin' paid for it, people!

Looking forward to The Undercovers and Nikita when I get home, but really chomping at the bit for my regular shows as well. and hey, if VD managed to get out of the bog of ew horrible, Nikita's plot sure can improve!

Hey! ::says hey::

Also, I'd be down with that thirty day female character picspam, I would do them all in one single post, though, thus defeating the entire point of the exercise but making sure I actually get it done... will think about it.

Oh I wouldn't touch even the Outsourced previews with a ten foot pole, because really. WRONG.
