shallowness

I forgot to mention that I did watch some season 2 Deep Space Nine episodes whilst on holiday, so I’d like to carry on with that, although I’ll be putting catching up on the telly first and the last time I tried to use my DVD player, it wouldn’t work properly, which I hope I can fix, but even if I don't, I could use the laptop. First world inconveniences, eh?

I posted Fancy Hotel, a Person of Interest/The Night Manager ficlet. Zoe and John were the focus of the prompt and remain the focus of the fic, but I had TNM on my mind and it was the spark for me. I wish I could have come up with a better title, but at least I managed a summary.

I caught up with B99 3.14 Karen Peralta

Of course, I’m now behind again because I chose to watch Scorpion (post to come).

I went to see a double-bill of films yesterday for the first time in ages. First was Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Yes, I know. One word review: ponderous.

( more words ) There were lots of problems, but I’ll focus on the most relevant one, which is that you’ve seen the trailer(s), and who hasn't given the promo push, most of the film will not come as a surpise.

And before this film a new-to-me Captain America: Civil War trailer aired and I think that contained a major development that made me clap my hands to my mouth in disbelief that they’d show that now. What is wrong with the people behind cutting these trailers? Stick to the first third, show glimpses of the main characters, give a flavour of the mood...people are going to go see films featuring Captain America, Iron Man, Batman and Superman!

Having said that, The Lego Batman Movie trailer filled me with glee.

What I wasn’t spoiled for in BvS:DoJ was ( Read more... ) Roll on the Wonder Woman solo movie, which seems like the only thing DC is doing that Marvel seems to need to worry about.

The second film I saw was Eddie the Eagle, which is thoroughly entertaining. It has also had a huge promo push in the UK, and benefits from being a sporting underdog dramedy based on a true story that I'm about old enough to remember, but I don't think they used the last third in the promo material.

Finally, I've caught up on Parks and Rec

The Batman vs. Superman advertising is gearing up. I haven’t been excited about the film, oh, since hearing what the title was. Conversely, every little detail I hear about The Lego Batman Movie is thrilling me. But it feels like it’s too soon for another live action movie about Batman, I am not enthused about their casting Affleck, I think it sounds like there’s too much going on and in this film and so there won’t be enough Clark/Lois, plus I hope this doesn’t mess up the Wonder Woman movie, because that means so much more so than whether DC/Warner can emulate Marvel/Disney.

Still, I was going to go and see it anyway, but I have been reminded that I am going to find Alfred’s voice attractive, which has never been the case before. So, there’s that.

Good to have Parks and Rec back (although Dave are airing it in some random late-night slot, which is typical of this show’s treatment in the UK. What did we do without catch-up again?)

I did see The Night Manager and hope to get my thoughts up sooner rather than later, but I’m having problems editing posts on LJ, which is why the same userpic is visible in my most recent posts. Every time I try to edit, the entry text is swallowed up. Has anyone ever had a problem like that before?

Over the weekend, I saw Suffragette. I’d like to write a thoughtful, articulate post about it, it'll have to suffice for now to say that I think it’s an essential film to watch, which dramatises an important story well.

Also, apparently Dave is not going straight into the next series of Parks and Rec.
