'Is there a word for uncanny yet irritating?'

I AM SAD. :[
You guys know how I crave crackalicious cracky goodness like a drug, right?
[TLW- case in point]

I heard about this supposed Snow White remake with Natalie Portman as a reincarnation of Snow White and seven NINJAS, instead of dwarves, sent to protect her from her Evil Stepmother's schemes.
How insanely awesome sounding is this? Snow White and NINJAS, yo. Kung fu + fairytale = *insanely bouncy glee*

But whether or not the movie is real, rather than the figment of some lunatic's imagination, Natalie Portman apparently turned down the role. *woes* I love Natalie Portman, she adds class to her projects. [I don't care how badly Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium was savaged by critics, I'm buying it on dvd, shut up]

Question: What do Teresa Lisbon and Elizabeth Weir have in common?
[Apart from devastatingly handsome male colleagues- with *g* enviable high fashion hairstyles- who charm them into approving all sorts of insane plans?]

Two lady bosses and framed photos of their canine buddies.





The images with the blond chick are from two separate interviews- between which Lisbon added another photo of her dog to her desk. Aww, puppykins! [Btw. Is it weird that I notice this?]

THEY EVEN HAVE THE SAME TASTE IN PHOTO FRAMES. PLAIN AND SILVER. :D
I know, I know it doesn't mean anything but I love it anyway. Crossover fic, pretty please?!

'k, I went through a few different SGA eps and these caps were the best I could find of Sedge! I know there must be better ones, but... *sighs* Not that I found. My efforts were in vain. *pouts* HOWEVER, the following totally makes up for it...

I love that she dresses up her dog in sci-fi props, that is hilarious! :D

Katy Perry- Hot 'n Cold

This makes me giggle so much. ^_^ If ever a couple gave off mixed signals [what with the kissing in other people's bodies and random 'accidental' groping and then marrying other guys], 'twould be these two.

Comments

ahhhhh- I adore thast song of Katy's and Xena is something I want to watch from a very long time... so those two are half-straigh half-gay? cool!!!!!!

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

You know, I found Katy a little irritating at first- like, I'd sing 'I kissed a girl' and then I'd whack myself over the head, 'WHY ARE YOU SINGING THIS? SHE'S SO ANNOYING!' but then I heard Hot 'n Cold and laughed myself silly over the music video [have you seen it? So funny!] and now I admit to loving her without any shame.

Lol, Xena...it's very ambiguous. Both she and Gabrielle have relationships with men, but they have a very strong bond between them and sometimes it seems to be of a romantic nature...it's up to the viewer's interpretation but I've heard in the later seasons [I haven't seen 5 and 6] that it's less subtext and more OVERT-text. Doesn't really bother me, I just adore the idea of two women having such a strong relationship and affection for each other, it's something we rarely see on tv, it's always about MEN, like Adama and Tigh [name me one strong female friendship on BSG?], House and WIlson, etc. etc.

[kat-rowe.livejournal.com]

hey! don't knock House/Wilson. Those boys take dysfunction and render it into High Art ;p

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

I'm not knocking 'em, I love those guys! But there are distressingly few shows that focus on the friendship between two women, whereas there are all these shows that highlight those dynamics between MEN. It's unfair. *pouts*

[kat-rowe.livejournal.com]

that's just because platonic gorl-on-girl is not remotely complicated and therefore not hugely dramatic *hug* guys are so much more effed up and therefore make better viewing. you'll like Magnus/Ashley, methinks

Magnus: "How'd it go?"
Ashley: "Peachy."
Magnus: *sighs and gives a tolerant grin* "I'll change your bandages when you get home, dear. I love you."
Ashley: "Love you, Mom."

SO sweet ... also, i've done enough girl/girl huggly that it's less interesting to me personally than platonic guy/girl

[laurandbillever.livejournal.com]

I also didn't pay much attention to Katy in the beginning but it was exactly Hot 'n Cold that made me like her ^_^ Yes, the vid is just hilarious and I like her style- busy, bright, full of life... she may not be a philosopher, but she is a good choice for a good party and some fun in the bus with your iPod ^_^

Ah, ambiguous... this is what I like... You are so right- no female friendship... I am a bit disappointed in Ron Moore- he claims to be all about serious and problematic issues (human rights, democracy and so on ) but he kind of fell into the trivial pattern with the women on the show... after all, he is just a man, no matter how deep he thinks.

What really upset me about BSG was the way they treated Ellen. They did this amazing thing to her character, turning her from an irritating tramp to the brilliant woman who was involved in creating cylons and resurrection technology and she's this enormous influential figure but her role in the end? A catfight with Six over Tigh's love. It...it's so painful I can't even feel it anymore, I'm NUMB, I tell you. Biggest WTF ever.

I was hoping for some Laura/Kara friendship but the only moment we got was Kara holding her up when she volunteered to go on that mission, can't remember the ep, but I loved that moment, seeing her support Laura and it was like they were close, even though we never got to see it happen. *sighs*

[laurandbillever.livejournal.com]

oh, Ellen... yes- she was kind of going to her old self in that catfight... but I was so disappointed that Bill and Laura couldn't have some happiness while Ellen and Saul were together that I never paid much attention. But when I go back...yeah, as the creator of the ressurection system, she should have had a bigger role... but at least she is alive- this is much more than the people like Bill, who sacrificed the most, got in the end...

Ah, yes that moment was good, but as someone said- the writers remember the connections between people only at the end of things... there should have been such scenes during the whole show, not only when someone is dying or going to a battle...
