Weekend Stuff
Tonight's fortune cookie from Snappy Dragon: You will read some information that will help you.
It seemed strangely appropriate. Considering I have two papers due tomorrow (and one on Tuesday), I'd better read some information that will be helpful to me.
Saw Spiderman 3. The most exciting bit? Tris's bloody nose half-way through. Which isn't to say that the movie was boring (though it was long). But when the person next to you is bleeding, you have to pay a little more attention to that.
As for the movie itself, well, I enjoyed it, but didn't think it was as good as the first one. Or the second one. I do enjoy the slightly more complicated villains. Kept wondering where the women villains/superheroes were though.
I don't really want to say I had complaints. Some negatives, but no real complaints. They fit a lot of stuff into that movie though. And Mary Jane was, well, less understanding than I was hoping she would be. She knew who Peter was going into their relationship. Not being in her position, I have to say cut the guy some slack! (Pun?) He's got to save lives before he can comfort you over a bad review.
Peter also totally stole Peter Petrelli's hair. It was funny. Kay leaned across Tris to ask if he was wearing eye-liner.
And what was with the whole kiss with Gwen? I can complain about MJ being a little selfish, but what was he doing? Clearly not thinking.
Harry was sweet. And I totally called him dying. I knew that if he showed up at the building in the end, he would bite it simply because he told them he'd die for either of them.
Going back to the whole cramming things into one movie...I wish that there had been more with the Sandman. More of who he was and who he became and his daughter and things. They really could have made two movies out of this. I just wanted slightly more out of the characters I guess.
It was fun (even with the real life drama). I'd say see it.
I also finished reading Madame Bovary. I knew Emma was going to die, and I knew she was going to drag Charles and Berthe down, but I did not know Charles was going to actually die too. Though a bit dim and unobservant sometimes, Charles was a decent man and I liked him damn it. Emma just frustrated me.
On the whole, though, I enjoyed the book.
I think my essay for tomorrow is going to focus on the idea that Emma was never ever going to be happy with what she had and who she got. We'll see how that goes.
Bought Bleak House yesterday. Decided I wanted to read it before I watched it. Kay and I were talking about the mini-series (she's rewatching, I've only seen a random 20 minutes), specifically Mr. Guppy. Then I had to show her some Torchwood because I couldn't remember Burn Gorman's name and she'd only ever seen him with funny Guppy hair. John Barrowman got an immediate "ooh" out of her, which was quite fun.
Gateworld has pictures up from last Friday's SGA ep "The Game." Specifically, this one makes me grin. As does this one.
