Thanks for the recs- I have a certain narrow list of criteria for movies that I will watch, but for Natalie, I'll make an exception. I haven't seen any of the ones you mentioned other than V for Vendetta which made me cry. It's an easy feat, actually, so maybe it's not that impressive but whatever, I was wibbling like a baby.

I think it's telling that Magorium's one of the few of her movies I've seen- the promos promised me magic and enchantment and possible!blink-and-you'll-miss-it!ship and happy endings...I like those.

I was all set to watch Boleyn Girl til I realized she gets killed off rather spectacularly. *sighs* I wish theyd swapped Natalie and 'ScarJo's roles, I'm not too fond of the latter, I'm okay with her dying. >:D

WALTER IS He's the only thing keeping me interested in the show!
Although I haven't seen the bit where the sister's all awkward!UST'ing with Peter. Ugh. Does he like her back or is it unrequited?
I don't ship Olivia and Peter but I don't mind if the writers make them all hung up on each other, but it's just NOT COOL to insert random love interests like that. GRR. It's the lamest plot device ever- the 'okay, we can't let our leads admit their love for each other yet, let's screw it up by throwing in another interested party!' Especially when it's the sister. *seethes*

FOR ONCE, I'd like a show where the ANGST didn't STRADDLE the pairings from the get-go!

*bats eyelashes* Might I recommend TLW? :P I can assure you there is none of that ship-interfering rubbish with M/R. It's the best thing ever, you can see the writers put a lot of thought into the whole intricate relationship dance rather than coming up with lame arbitrary reasons to cool things off between the characters. They don't get together right away for reasons stemming from their personalities/past, it's such an organic process, working through their problems and dealing with their demons in order to become closer to one another.

/sales pitch. I can't help myself. *sheepish grin*
