Attention all: [livejournal.com profile] decidedly has, rightfully and with proper coin, purchased my eternal soul. She knows why. I just thought I'd make it known that she has to still the tide of counter-offers. Hers was the best bid.

If you need a clue as to what she could have possibly done that it is THE GREATEST THING EVER, here it is: A little bird tells me that I Am Legend will make a killing at the box office, but that's only because people are willing to pay $12 for the trailers that will show before it. You can work out the rest from there, methinks.

Smallville!? I still watch that show!? Apparently! Last night's episode review is up at Pink Raygun. [livejournal.com profile] ivy03? I think you'll be pleased with the development. If you're still watching this show, too, that is. If not, no big!

I'm nail-biting and constantly hitting the refresh button on YouTube over Project Runway Canada. You heard me. Only the first half of the latest episode is online presently, and I'm DYING to know who wins the challenge. One of the top four is nowhere near the talent of the other three (who are all talented in the extreme for how young they are), so it's not the mystery of who's going home but an anxiousness to see the final products of the other three that's making me crazed. IS IT UP YET?

In comparison, nothing of season 4 of regular Project Runway has been half as entertaining. I blame this on the fact that I'm starting from the beginning (usually, I tune in halfway and figure out who to like when there's less of a pack to choose from). There's also the fact that just about all of the designers save one are older, established designers, all of whom are so serious and bland, it means the show has to kick up the faux drama even more.

Not that there's not real drama to be had--there is--just that the rest feels more manufactured than ever before. Everyone is conscious of the fact that how they appear on TV will depend on how they behave at every single moment, so many just aren't reacting at all to anything in an attempt to never look bad. It doesn't work--many of them come off as terrible people--and it makes the show boring. I'm convinced that at least one contestant is a sociopath (SHE DOES NOT HAVE EMOTIONS, ONLY GOALS). Another is a serial killer. The rest are boring, non-existent, or smug. The only ones who are nice, funny, or interesting don't get enough play or are ridiculed by co-contestants or the judges. BORING.

me: Dude, seriously? I BELIEVE IN SEQUELS NOW
[livejournal.com profile] feiran: Alas, you have always believed in sequels. Except for that Matrix movie.
me: I mean I believe they can be GOOD--as good as the first!
[livejournal.com profile] feiran: Empire Strikes Back, anyone? :)
me: True...Spider-Man 2...X-Men 2
[livejournal.com profile] feiran: I wish I had an emoticon for the Marge Simpson doubting noise. X-Men 2 would've provoked it. :P
me: You don't like X-Men 2?
[livejournal.com profile] feiran: Meh, it was all right. But I would say the first was markedly better. Whereas I wholeheartedly agree that Spider-Man 2 was as good as Spider-Man.
me: REALLY?
[livejournal.com profile] feiran: Yes? Your emphatic reaction is making me a little doubtful, though, 'cause in spite of seeing it with you like five times at the drive-in, I don't remember it all that well.
me: ah, okay. we'll have to do a comparison some day
[livejournal.com profile] feiran: They find nightcrawler...they um...Jean gets washed away by a lake? Aaaaand the children are all running around screaming and I thought Colossus was kinda cute. Hm. I just can't remember the *plot*. Mansion gets attacked, kids get knocked out. Is it the hunting down mutants thing with Trask?
me: No, it's Stryker
[livejournal.com profile] feiran: Then they go to Weapon X and kick some ass and Jean gets wet.
me: THAT IS THE BEST SYNOPSIS EVER

And this....

me: I have to admit X-Men 2 carried me away on the strenght of Nightcrawler and Mystique. Mystique was just a sort of booty-call for the first one; in the second she was orgasmically awesome. And Alan Cumming IS ALWAYS orgasmically awesome.

me: but as Nightcrawler...jesus..he made me swallow Nightcrawler's sanctimonious religious bullshit. I've ALWAYS hated that about the character. It seems so angsty. But he played it through with such a good sense of humor

me: I was like, "If all religion were taught by Alan Cumming, more people would be sincerely religious." Of course, if Alan Cumming were in charge of religion, it would be more fun period, regardless of HOW it was sold to you

me: I'm betting Alan Cumming would make an awesome Pope.
