homicidal Betazoid

Hah! So, Troi probably drove him to it. Poor guy.

Huh. That X3 trailer is significantly better than my total lack of hope would have implied. Not that I think it will actually be good, but it might at leats be fun.

I'm sure similar plot points directed by Bryan Singer with a script written sometime before the movie started filming would have turned out BETTER, but at least it doesn't look like they included the rumored pheromone-producing-mutant.

McCabe and Mr. Milch.

I wouldn't say "disregard' because there are still times when Deadwood offends me and "disregard" sounds like there's nothing in the criticism...there are times when I find Deadwood straight-up nasty. But it's also smart and probably never gratuitous...I never get the sense they ever said "We're on cable...we can say that," in the way that some shows do. Just file the criticism and see if you care more about it than the townsfolk. I do get mad at Milch sometimes for getting a second chance when some people haven't gotten a first chance to throw away yet. Ex-druggie cocksucker. Pointillist. Have to try that if my fic gets long again..."Freak! No, I'll have you know I'm a pointilist!"

Ex-druggie cocksucker.

That's talented ex-druggie cocksucker, to you.

Great link, Corwood! You have inspired me. I think I'll revisit Deadwood the next two days, while the BF is off in San Diego covering the new Cadillac launch. He may be staying at the W hotel and getting wined and dined by car execs, but I get to watch Swearingen's blow job monologue again. Frankly, I think I'm getting the better part of the deal.

ita, I saw Ultraviolet last week and thought it was much worse than Underworld: Whatever (and that was "Kate's bum and some other stuff"). I described Ultraviolet in my LJ as trying to read an old copy of Heavy Metal over someone's shoulder on the subway. Yes, it is pretty and has vampire-y stuff and cgi galore, but it is muddled, with razor-thin story and razzie-class dialogue. My buddies and I were reaching to Bo Derek movies as equivalents for the dialogue, and that's where I go for the worst ever.

Pretty to look at, utterly forgettable 5 minutes after you've left the theatre. My two pals who are huge Mila fans had stopped talking about it by the time we reached the pub around the corner.

The Toronto Star guy gave it 3 out of 5, mostly for the pretty. I can't see how he got all the way to three.

Of course, Hecubus. Was that not implied from my imitation and jealousy? The fate of TV rests in the hands of three Davids, at the moment. Which is a strange thought if you look at it closely but then again, not as if Mr. Chase, Mr. Milch, and Mr. Simon were all named Klaus. Funny(odd, not ha-ha) I think I read that Andy Sipowicz sobered up before David Milch...I guess the part of him that writes is his Smart brain, if you'll follow me, the part that knows stuff he's not ready to admit yet.

Huh. That X3 trailer is significantly better than my total lack of hope would have implied. Not that I think it will actually be good, but it might at leats be fun.

Knowing the Big Big Plot Points of this film in advance, it just irritates me at the manipulation, because the trailer makes only barely hints at maybe one of them and says nothing about the rest. Based solely on this trailer, I'd be fairly excited about X3 (Halle Berry's continual lump-of-teak delivery notwithstanding), because it's a good trailer. Which shows what you can do with judicious editing.

Problem is that I know too much about what they're not saying, and I'm bitter about it. At this point I'm willing to believe that they may be able to make their horrible ideas work within the film and feel right within that context, but within the greater context of the X-Men, Fox is grabbing its collective crotch and flipping the bird at the franchise.

Morlocks! I saw no cheesy Morlocks!
