So I've been watching Black Snake Moan for about 30 minutes now. At some point, the plot starts, right? 'Cause this isn't quite fun enough to warrant so little plot. Also? How long has Christina Ricci looked like a junkie? Did I miss something?
Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

Lee, FNL: I'm quite sure we'll see MacGregor again. He'll get a job coaching at Midland or something.
I dunno. There's some stuff going on this season that are just clunky in the extreme. And yet, I still love Tami and Tyra and Eric, and I want to thwap Tim and Jason and Lyla. And feed Matt soup. So I'm skeptical of some of the storylines while still loving the characters.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I quite liked the movie, Burrell, but I can't for the life of me remember the pacing. I found SLJ and Christina entrancing. I like her brand of trashy hot.
I checked my site and I don't have any Moan-era pictures of her, but this stands out enough that I wonder if I should get rid of it.
It's just so wholesome.
Okay, I had a large nap. This doesn't bode well. My head hurts, also boding ill. Once you get into has-no-painkillers, we understand that this might be a very long weekend.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
FNL: I'm sure we will see him again too. I just hope it's done a little differently than Voodoo.
I agree about some of the storylines as well. I feel like the writers spent the summer watching too many soaps, or maybe One Tree Hill.

Is FNL having a sophomore slump? What's wrong with people? What's so hard about S2? And, yeah, Josh Schwartz, I'm looking at you.

ita, it looks like the network put some pressure on the showrunners to, oh, sex it up a bit. Which I think is funny because it's not like the characters weren't getting sex already.
But it's more soapy, yeah. I think there are fewer quiet moments of character insight; they're painting with a broader brush. In particular, Julie's characterization is being pushed too hard, I think.
Also, and maybe this is just me, but where the hell is Smash? He's in the credits, but we've hardly seen him. And I want to see Waverly.

Ah, finally there's more plot than moan. Still, you'd think he could find her a pair of pants. I like the actors, tho' both characters are nutty as all get out.
Don't get rid of that picture ita, although yeah she looks too clean cut, but she was actually pretty then. I know, she's sexier now, but she's lost most of what actually made her face pretty.

Not just you, Consuela. I noticed that last ep.
