beccaelizabethOnce Upon a Time, where Belle got some curse memories and became Lacey. Shows the problem with reform to please someone else, if she changes he does. Like getting sober, some things have to be done from the inside or they don't tend to take.
The White Queen. ... actually I have nothing to say about that. I've watched the whole thing and can't quite figure why I gave it the time. Lots of women, but everything's about manuevering their men around. History sucks.
Titan A E. There is one girl. She looks Asian but is voiced by a white chick. There's a sort of cake and eat it approach to her as damsel in distress too, she gets stolen and people charge off to rescue her and then when they find her she's surrounded by unconscious dudes. Then there's the thing where a whole drifter colony of mostly people of color seem to need this one white dude to turn up and teach them how to fix their ship, even thought it's, you know, their ship. And there's a frustrating point where I'd have taken the story in a different direction. Story starts with telling the white dude hero off for not helping out other humans, so to me the necessary solution is to team up with many humans, not just human he fancies. So when he finds those drifters with their colony made of docked together ships and the love interest girl says 'you have a ship' the next line should be 'we have a fleet'. And then all the humans together do teamwork. But no, it's a hero story. So he charges off single handed and uses his dad's present to make a new planet Earth. As you do.
There were some pretty bits with wake angels and in the ice field and... actually, no, that's it, that's what I'm remembering from a couple hours after watching. Some irritation at the characters that weren't there and conversations that didn't happen, and a few shiny moments. Disappointing.
The Man who Fell to Earth. ... odd film. Seemed like a short story wrapped in biology mess and odd imagery. Not my sort of thing.
The Hollow Crown: Henry V. Actually I'm still watching that. ... and am clearly concentrating and paying attention. Hiddleston is obviously pleasant to watch, but aside from that, *shrugs*. I'm not sure why they made some of the choices. It's not going on my favourite versions list.
Also today I got my netbook out and turned it on. All it has been doing since then is Windows Update. This is what happens when it's six months since last time it was on.
So basically today I have been bored and grumpy. :eyeroll:
This is in fact an improvement on when I woke up. I dreamed doing some awful things and woke up feeling evil. Not in a funny way. So by lunch feeling only exhausted and purposeless was in fact an improvement. Now I'm grumpy and it's pretty much a step up.
I should watch proper fun stuff I know I'll enjoy.
... unfortunately given the mood I tend to land in I'm not sure that description applies to anything right now.
*tiny violin*
