Monday: Extreme Placeholder Edition!
Nov. 15th, 2010 09:42 am*Got almost nothing done over the weekend, aside from brainstorming some choreography of the "but why does that happen?" variety (always useful). I'll be inputting that today, as well as a bunch of other notes for other things, and trying to put my ducks in a row re "Distant Dark Places", the next upcoming deadline.
*Tripped across an amusingly half-in-character 3:10 to Yuma A/U piece where Ben was always a girl (short story short of why this doesn't work for me overall: It implies Charlie's older than Ben, which I simply don't believe. Oh yeah, and also: It has a girl calling herself "Ben", when her real name apparently isn't even Benjamina).
*Rented The Legend of Kells and Ondine (and a terrible found-footage straight-to-DVD nightmare called 8213: Gacy House, but shut up, because I got that for free). I've watched much of Kells already; talking about it will, I'm sure, eventually be forthcoming.
*Bought the BBC Sherlock and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, which Steve immediately had to watch all the way through. I can definitely still see what annoys people about Michael Cera's performance, but there's more than enough other stuff that makes me happy about that film to compensate. I'm also not real sure what the whole "Ramona Flowers = Manic Pixie Dreamgirl" meme is about, since Ramona's about as un-manic as it's possible to be; Scott's the single most manic character in that film, aside from Knives Chau (and maybe Matthew Patel)--that's probably what both A) attracts him to Knives and B) eventually turns him off her. Plus: Wallace Wells owns every-damn-body.
*Okay, that's about that with that.
