'You people. If there isn't a movie about it, it's not worth knowing, is it?'

People. I meant to be organized this year and once again, I totally fail. *eyeroll* Big surprise.
Anyway, before I forget again, is there anyone that wants to exchange Christmas cards? I'd do one of those cool 'comments hidden' things except I have no clue how that works and LJ hates my guts, so I'd rather not risk experimenting at this stage...just PM me, if you feel like celebrating the Christmas spirit with me. ;D

Vampire Diaries.



I caught an ep of it yesterday and holy crap, but I didn't think anything could rival Twilight for worst love triangle.

I mean, at least Edward and Jacob's lot both don't believe in snacking on humans, right? Edward may be morally questionable in other areas, but he doesn't harm humans.

Whereas the girl in Vampire Diaries [seriously, who writes in diaries these days? It's all about blogging, hello, modern world], who rather parallels Liz in Roswell when I think about it, except for being less awesome, is torn between a good vampire aka he who looks out for humans, and a bad vampire, aka he who murders people left, right and center.

O.O HOW HARD IS IT TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE?! The savior or the sadistic bastard? Oh, don't burst a brain cell, sweetie, what a struggle it must be to decide which brother is more worthy. *eyeroll*

She finally decides to break up with Stefan [can I just say I hate the way they pronounce his name? 'Ste-phun', shudder. It's like this former librarian I knew, Gabrielle, whose name was pronounced boring old 'Gabriel'. Seriously, why?] and she enacts this cliche 'woe is meeee' routine by sliding down the wall and sobbing her heart out, dear lord, MAKE IT STOP.

FFS, one day, she boldly declares that 'I'm not gonna be one of those pathetic girls whose world stops just because of some guy' anod now look at her! Pitiful! It's all about her! There are evil monsters running around targeting her friends and her first thought is the end of her romance, not the end of people's LIVES. I don't think even Bella was that selfish- her vampires were sparkly hippies, they weren't killing people like in this show! Who'd'a thunk it, someone who makes Bella Swan look smart. Huh.

This one awesome scene I wish had been played out in Twilight.

Damon: Your life is so pathetic.
Vicki: Yeah.
Damon: You are so damaged.  You don't have one hint of self esteem.
Vicki: Nope. None.
Damon: I think I know what can help you.
Vicki: What's that?
Damon: Death.
*snaps her neck*

LOLOLOL. Too bad it wasn't Elena's neck, heh.

Randomly? I read someone's comment about how they pictured Keanu Reeves as Snape, rather than Alan Rickman, and it reminded me of this:



'k, I loved Keanu first, but I love Alan Rickman [I can't just call him Alan, for some reason, lol] best .
I've now watched Sense and Sensibility half a dozen times-I just wish I'd had that massive crush on him back when we actually studied the bloody book and watched the movie in Year 11 Lit, I would've been so much more inspired, damn it!

And I've seen Dogma about a dozen times. I can't help it, 'tis extremely crude and foul at many points, but it sitll has me in gigglefits all the same.

Bethany: What are you?
Metatron: I'm pissed off, is what I am! Do you go around drenching everybody that comes into your room with flame-retardant chemicals? No wonder you're single.
[Ahaha! This is the APPROPRIATE reaction to finding someone in your room watching you sleep, a'right?]

Btw, I have a sneaking suspicion I saw an edited version, though- I looked up some quotes and there were mentions of a nun and some other randoms and exchanges I didn't see. If they cut any Alan Rickman scenes from the one I watched, I'm going to be pissed off myself. *frowns*

Meme.

Comment and I'll give you a list of 4 people. You have to chose which to marry, which to shag, which to snog, and which to throw off a cliff.

Characters provided by the lovely kat_rowe.

Marry- Hermione Granger (Harry Potter)- because she complements me perfectly. We're both witty bookish types, can't you see the magic happening here? :P
Throw off a cliff- Spencer Reid (Criminal Minds)- because he is the center of all angsty whump everywhere, like a moth to the flame. *nodnod*
Shag-  Carson Beckett (SGA)- the uber adorable Scottish doctor! With dimples, omg! How can I resist? I gotta tell you, meeting Paul at the recent con has made me love Carson even more. I watched some classic SGA over the weekend, totally love him and Rodney's banter... ^_^
Snog- Kate Beckett (Castle)- do I need a reason? The woman is stunning!

Thanks, makes me feel glad I didn't bother checking Vampire Diaries :)

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

No, seriously, be glad- anything that makes Twilight look good is embarrassingly ridiculous. I feel terrible for the vampire genre, it's really taking a beating right now. *eyeroll*

The problem is that they keep reinventing the same dynamics of boring lame girl with supernatural dudes lusting after her for no foreseable reason- or at least, not what I'd call a valid reason. Relationships should be based on more than either freesia-scented blood or the chick resembling his long-dead manipulative witch of an old flame. That's messed up, y/y?

I'm pretty much just cheering on the baddie 'coz I'm hoping he'll slaughter everyone else sooner or later, lol. >:D
