The Year In Review (Media)

sadlikeknivesAll of these are media related, as I am a fannish creature by nature.
At some point I'll get around to babbling about POA, but not tonight. Tonight, am exhausted.
A sensible creature would wait until watching her DVD, so as to have the movie fresh in her mind, but no one ever said I was a sensible creature. I thought the werewolf and dog!Sirius looked shitty, but what else is new? Crazy Gary Oldman and Whassername who played Professor Trelawney were fantastic. Remus was a bit...well, gayer than a treeful of monkeys on nitrous oxide. I don't think the actor was right for the part. And that mustache, eugh.
Anyways, if you’d like to recommend some of The Good Stuff in Buffy, Angel, or DS9 fandoms to my aunt or cousin, tell me here and I’ll pass it on.
No one ever helped me out at all. I'm a little sad and a little peeved off about that.
I think my aunt is writing fanfiction now, and from what I saw on the screen (it was one when I came in the room and in large font), it's...not very good. Help me give her some better examples, people!
On an only marginally tangentially related note, I was going to post a wee bit on Brokeback Mountain from Premiere magazine, but I left it on the counter at home. Ah, well. Some other day.
I've lost the magazine. Sorry.
I have some things to say about the young Alexander scenes, but for now I’ll just shut up. Does anybody have any questions?
This was a rather interesting entry. An underaged anonymouse with bad grammar but, I think, a good heart, commented, as well as someone who deleted their comment before I'd read the e-mail with the comment in it. As far as I can tell, there was nothing that warranted the deleting in the comment. I'm a bit curious about how they got to my entry, though. I'd never heard of them before.
The thing about the young Alexander scenes--besides the poor boy's awful hair--is, that kid played a creepy-ass rapist kid on Law and Order: SVU, and I look at him and see creepy rapist kid, rather than Future Great Conqueror.
If I were Angelina Jolie, I'd be protesting that, "In my womb I carried my avenger scene not ending up on the cutting room floor. Talk about your overacting.
The part with Philip and Alexander looking at the cave paintings was utterly unnecessary and that screen time could have been much better used for, like, anything else.
The taming of Bucephalus was...*makes squeaking sounds of glee* SO PRETTY. And, "You're stubborn like an ox. That's what I'll call you, Bucephalus." See, that's what it means--"Ox-headed." I'm not sure whether this was because the horse looked like an ox or was just stubborn, but still, that they mentioned it made me happy.
Aaaaand one more. Not media, but sports, which is...pretty much the same thing, I suppose.
Those of you who love me (and you all do, right?) will hook me up with pictures of male gymnasts. Preferably half-clothed. Aleksei Nemov and the Hamm twins preferred. That Romanian guy with the muscles and the OMGdidyouseethat? vault also preferred.
Apparently, none of you love me at all, because this got zero replies. I'm not picky. They can have all their clothes on. And I have the DVD, so it's not such a pressing concern now.
Oh, and I found out that that Romanian's name is Marian Dragulescu. He is Of the Sexy.
