Cinderella Report: Pretty, pretty costumes. Cate Blanchett is as fabulous as she can be given what she had to work with. That's about it. I may have to see Jupiter Ascending this weekend to get a better story and script.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

It was okay, but it doesn't really work as a stand-alone, though I imagine everyone seeing Cinderella has probably seen Frozen. There were some clever moments, but I would have rather had more of a complete story than the song they included.

I saw the trailer for Cinderella and was cracking up at the casting of Rose from Downton as Cinderella and Daisey as one of the stepsisters. Then Robb Stark as Prince Charming was almost too much.

Daisy was great. I stopped watching Downton at the end of Season 3 (or 4? After Mary has her baby). So I barely remembered Cinderella was in it.
More importantly, I did in fact go see Jupiter Ascending today and totally agree it has gotten a bad rap. Enjoyed it thoroughly.

Also, re DebetEsse's JA foley issue: As far as I could tell based on the folds she puts the sticky side towards his cut. To attach it to his clothes maybe? Which doesn't make much sense but would explain the sound.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
That's just dumb. You put it inside the shirt with the sticky side facing out. Obviously.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I think they added the Foley for (a) effect and (b) to make sure anyone who hadn't gotten it yet realized what she'd put on the wound. Like so much of the rest of the movie, I don't think it's necessarily supposed to make sense.

Oh, just wanted to warn folks that I saw The Lazarus Effect over the weekend, and it's pure, distilled boredom. Basically like a Private Practice episode where one of the doctors comes back from the dead to torment and kill the rest of them in the most cliched ways possible, only without the satisfaction of the actual Private Practice doctors being on the receiving end.
There was only one silver lining in the movie, and that was Donald Glover's character explaining that humans-only-use-10%-of-their-brains chestnut correctly .

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
