And my wasted heart will love you...

Happy Holidays, my dear f-list! *group-hugs you all*

As you can see I watched Love... actually again and this quote hits so close to home! Also, you just can't go wrong with a film where Martin Freeman is a porn body double and yet manages to be as adorable as nothing else!

I don't like Christmas at all, for many reasons, but this year everything is more bearable, kind of likeable even... I'm very pleasantly surprised, to be quite honest. And so touched, because so many people thought of me! You know who you are, so thank you for your kindness! *squishes* I hope your Christmas is lovely so far.

In other news, this post is going to be about TV

Generation Kill - I know there are a few people who are loving it... but I watched like three or four episodes and it just didn't do it for me. Though it's certainly slashy enough. But I guess it's... too soon, for me? I mean, there is still no peace in Iraq today and I felt incredibly uncomfortable watching it. How young they guys were, how eager they were about wanting to kill the bad guys. I mean okay, that's probably their cope mechanism, but still. It made me cringe.

I'm okay with watching Band of Brothers or The Pacific but maybe because there's this huge distance between today and the actual war and I know that all countries involved managed to have decent relationships now, so...

This is my opinion and if you want to call me a naive hippie, feel free to do so, because I am one. *lol*

Crazy stupid love - I didn't expect to love it, but I did. Damn you, Ryan Gosling, for being not only handsome but also funny! I didn't even mind Emma Whatshername because they have great chemistry. I never know how to feel about her when I see her...

Oh, and speaking of Ryan G., I bought Lars and the real girl a few weeks ago because I suddenly missed it, pretty much out of nowhere. I still haven't re-watched it, but seeing it in my shelf makes me happy.

The Hobbit! - I watched it like two weeks ago and loved it to pieces! Being back in Middle-Earth felt like visiting old friends, and made me sit there with a hand clasped over my mouth so I won't squee too loudly. Also, Martin Freeman is a perfect Bilbo and Andy is still a perfect Gollum and I even liked Gandalf a little more than in LOTR.

I totally love the dwarves and I'm shipping kilixfili and Thorin/Bilbo, mkay? and their songs and how badass they are. Basically, it rekindled my love for LOTR and I'm secretly hoping for Aragorn/Boromir cameos, though I know it's not really possible, because that would make Boromir an old man in LOTR which he clearly isn't, but still... a fangirl can dream, right? <3


Btw, tonight is the night where I'm gonna watch The Avengers for the first time ever. My expectations are pretty high, and I blame it on Tumblr... You better be good, Avengers!

I too think it's pretty realistic and yes about showing the fucked-upness of it all. They definitely need more support do deal with everything and all they get is ridiculous equipment and superiors.

Maybe I should re-watch it one day, now that I know what to expect. I definitey like Alex Skarsgard may more in it than I ever did in True Blood.

Yes to all of the above. I like that it doesn't glorify anything. It is fucked-up and politically incorrect and awful and a lot of the things they say and do are utterly awful and sexist and homophobic and racist, etc.

Askars is amazing in it, though. I tried watching True Blood for him but found it so awful that I never made it beyond the first episode, sigh.

I managed to watch like 3 seasons (I don't even know how) but then it became wore and worse and I had to give up on it to stay sane.

I could never make it that far, seriously, the first episode made me want to scream.
