[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
And why is it that Claire can find a hairbrush but Kate cannot?
Kate and Claire had that cute conversation in which Claire lamented lack of a hairbrush among all the luggage. Perhaps she found one.
Kate's hair is always so beautifully tousled. I covet it.
God, me too. t /shallow
Whatever's normally on at 10 pm on the night of the Alias premier will get moved or not shown.
This is the only part of your information I was unsure of, hence my bet-hedging speculation at 3am my time, when I should have been asleep.
Wheee! DH managed to snag a tape from work, so I have finally seen Raised by Another. The quality of the acting in this show continues to amaze me -- you almost don't realize how pedestrian most television acting is until you see something as beautifully nuanced as [memfault] the actress playing Claire this past week. And Dom too, was just wonderful.

Emilie de Ravin, I think.
As a dedicated Survivor watcher, I totally buy the hair thing. There are always some survivor folks who really care about looks and they put in the extra time (Bathing in the ocean, hand-plucking eyebrow hairs, etc.) to look as good as possible. There are others who clearly give up on that and put their energy into all the other stuff.
And Dom too, was just wonderful.
Every time I think he's hit the peak of his acting ability he totally reaches a higher level. The LOTR Dom was really good, but the Lost Dom is AMAZING! He almost made me cry during Wednesday's show. (Yes, I know I'm sappy)
The LOTR Dom was really good, but the Lost Dom is AMAZING!
Plus, by episode 3 or 4, he totally lost all hobbitness in my mind. It doesn't get in my way at all, which it did in the first few eps, only b/c -- 3 movies, key character, etc. He's totally Charlie now, though.
When I rewatch LOTR he looks so young because of the lack of facial hair.
Plus, no smack habit.
Eh, smack, snack, same diff. You think Merry wouldn't have gotten the shakes if he missed too many Second Breakfasts and Elevenses?
ETA: I completed my DVD homework assignment, taking one for the team so no one else would have to. The commentary track that Somerhalder was on was interwoven with one by Ron Jeremy, people! (Apparently he and Roger Avary are bestest buds...) And to get to it I had to risk mis-clicking and hearing the Carrot Top commentary!
Here are a few Somerhalder quotes:
It's got to be one of the most uncomfortable things on the face of the planet that you can do—kiss a guy.
Put two guys together, it's disgusting.
There's something inherently wrong with that.
Don't stick your fucking tongue in my mouth!
This whole sequence, these two days, were so unbearably uncomfortable.[Refers to his dancing-on-the-bed sequence with Roger Sams. He continues talking about how uncomfortable the restaurant scene was, wherein Roger Sams plays footsie with him under the table.]
Reviewers may have gotten slightly more outraged than required, as only the second comment quoted above seemed to be in general rather than a reaction to specific things he had to do during filming. But he just went on and on and on about how disgusting he found it at length, a reaction that I have to attribute to homophobia since the physical unpleasantness of kissing someone with stubble can't be THAT bad even if you're not used to it (back me up here, ladies?).
At no point did he ever mitigate this by saying anything positive about gay people, or display any empathy with the feelings and motivation of the character he was playing. In fact, most of his commentary aside from the homophobic rants was talking about how disgusting the shooting locations were, knocking Faye Dunaway for holding up shooting (OK, that I'll grant him, but it's not like that should come as a surprise to anyone who's ever read a thing about her...), griping that he didn't have the music he wanted for scenes that he danced in, etc. About the only thing nice he had to say was that he and Shannon Sossamon bonded while shooting the final scene. Then he summed up at the end to say it was a great, enjoyable experience after bitching about it throughout the previous 90 minutes.
I need to find an Ewan McGregor or Christian Bale interview about Velvet Goldmine so I can feel clean again.
