Also (I promise I will shut up), Tea's episode is almost all original material instead of this scene by scene remake of the UK version. So maybe it will be a better indicator of what this version can do.
Blah. I just want it to get better. :(
I am a HUGE UK Skins fan. Didn't like this episode, but I am going to give it a chance because to be honest, the pilot of the first UK Skins season wasn't the best either IMO.
Bryan Elsley, the creator of both UK and US Skins and one of the best writers they have, wrote Tea's episode (which is the second episode). I trust him as a writer, so I'm giving it another chance. His episodes always have the best balance of ridiculousness and heartfelt...ness. And I think the girl who plays Tea is one of the stronger actors (which isn't saying much, but whatevs.)
I really recommend giving her ep a chance. If Elsley can't pull that one off, then maybe jump ship.
I loved that this movie was kind of trashy. I've read it compared to a 1970s-style horror film, like Rosemary's Baby, as well as the "art house Showgirls" (sorry I don't have sources right now :( ) and I think both are accurate descriptions... in a really wonderful way.
But can I just say this movie was gross at times? Because it was! I had to peek through my fingers at numerous moments, and I would say that I'm not overly squeamish typically.
Also, don't ever go to that Union Square theater. No. No. No. I hope you've learned your lesson.
I know I'm in the minority, but I actually like Jamie. Yes, I know she complains a lot. But I still like her. It's a mystery. TEAM JAMIE, DEAL WITH IT DOT GIF.
Also, I sometimes think Blais is a dick. For instance, saying his season is only remembered for him losing. ACTUALLY BLAIS, your season was won by Stephanie. Who I loved and will always love, forever, the end. Blais is an awesome chef obviously, but that pissed me right off. Go make some more mustard ice cream.
I had the same impulse while watching the trailer. Cut out all of the non-Amanda Seyfried scenes, mute all of the dialogue (even though I actually think she can be quite good but probably not in this mess), put some pretty music under it, and I would honestly watch. Her face is mesmerizing.
Um. I mean. She's pretty.
I was so flabbergasted and angry at Glenn for driving a car WITH THE FUCKING ALARM BLARING directly into their camp, I was actively cheering for his death for the rest of the episode. He's clearly brain-dead already.
I love Katamari, and I love this comment.
If I ever get married, I want to roll a Katamari ball up the aisle with all of my spouses somehow attached. It will be a beautiful ceremony, I'm sure.
That is a key point that many people who support - or at least try to defend - DADT overlook. People ARE asked, ARE outed. There were and are "witch hunts" on occasion.
The gay soldiers currently serving have to live with the fear that anything even remotely "suspicious" - which could just be simply never mentioning a boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse of the opposite sex - could raise the attention of some jerk.
It was a program that was doomed to fail, is clearly NOT in any matter leading to equality, and it needs to be gone. Now.
So if Eric could so easily escape his cement grave (huh?), what makes them think the King of Barfville won't just as easily get out? I know he was weakened but... nope, can't bring myself to think about this anymore.
Can't wait for a new season full of fairies and witches. :|
Did anyone else feel like this kid was basically Jonathan time traveling? I'll wait patiently for Buffy to jump out of some kind of time portal/vortex-thingy and drag him back to Sunnydale in the finale.
Peggy isn't going to take any shit this year, and I love her for it.
Also, with less characters I was really hoping for more Joan. Please don't let me down, Mad Men.
Yes, I know. Very insightful thoughts. Thank you.
The title change to "Let Me In" enrages me.
I hate it... SO much... it-it- the f - it -flam - flames. Flames, on the side of my face, breathing-breathl- heaving breaths...
When I first heard she went missing, my immediate thought was that she was dead. Then I felt bad for being so cynical.
I see that I was cynical for the wrong reason.
I must be the worst woman in the world because nope, still don't want to have babies. And I don't think I could watch a 2 hour movie about babies. Whoops!
If he takes off his shirt, he will sparkle. And there's no greater sin in the world than natural body sparkle. Whoops, what I meant to say is what?!?!?!
"(I hand him another file - much thicker than the first)"
Little did the President know that file was actually full of old scripts from Two and a Half Men. Truly, a world of horrors.
