Lost continues to blow my mind. It’s so freaking good, but oh my how the time frames are confusing my poor brain.

Chuck is consistently funny as hell each week. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but it always has Aidan and I howling. We were all but rolling on the floor last night at some of the stuff that happened, like when Chuck goes to save the day, but trips and gets his foot caught in a window and breaks it while managing to create a diversion for Sarah and Casey. Priceless! I’m still waiting for Sarah and Chuck to have some hot sex at least once. They both love each other and can’t be together, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t get it on. Sure, it would probably be funny sex rather than super hot sex and it would make for awkward moments later down the road, but that would also make for more funny.

I’m still loving Dollhouse and so far ep 2 has been my favorite. For one, it had a whole lot of Matt Keeslar in it and anything with Matt in it is a good thing. He’s so dreamy even when he’s playing a creepy and super crazy killer. It’s had the strongest Echo story so far in terms of her adapting to her surroundings and doing what needed to be done to save herself since that wasn’t something that was programmed into her. Episode 3 had a bit of that too with her thinking for herself and pushing death in the face of the diva singer who only thought she wanted to die. Episode 4 wasn’t a strong episode all around, but I still found it to be enjoyable because of the other moving parts in the story. Sierra, Echo and Victor becoming a group is intriguing. This can’t end well for them since they aren’t supposed to develop friendships, but I think it’s interesting. I am intrigued as to why they keep sending Victor to Paul when he won’t stop his search for the Dollhouse. I am intrigued by Alpha (clearly alive) and how he’s doing what he’s doing on the outside. Does he have help? Why is Echo so important? Were they friends? Relatives? In love? Me wants to know!

In movie news…
We went to see Watchmen on Saturday and all in all I really loved it. I have not read the graphic novel yet, but I will do so very soon. I was super excited about the film and wanted to hold off on reading it because I didn’t want to compare the two in my head as I watched the film and inevitably not be able to fully enjoy the film. That being said, here are some of my likes and dislikes and yes, there are some spoilers…

Great opening sequence. It was so pretty and so well done and the music was perfectly perfect. Definitely one of my favorites of the past few years.

Rorschach! OK, my Rorschach like is really more Rorschach love. Jackie Earle Haley was freaking brilliant in this role. Definitely mine and Aidan’s favorite character of the entire film. He was brutal and sly and smart and just plain freaking awesome. I can’t imagine anyone being more perfect in the role. I even loved his creepy deep scratchy voice. I did not love his demise though. That made me sad.

Carla Gugino was gorgeous! Her pin up look was to die for pretty.

How is it possible that the awesomeness that is JDM filled the shoes of such a horrid character so well? Because he’s a fan-freaking-tastic actor! Next to Jackie Earle Haley’s performance, JDM’s was definitely a stand out. A horrifyingly scary and brutal stand out, but a stand out. He was up there in Otis Firefly territory and it’s hard to be in Otis territory because it’s pretty hard to be such a horrible person yet have a side to you that makes the viewers still somehow like you in some way.

Billy Crudup pre-Dr. Manhattan transformation was so cute and sweet. I almost cried when he was stuck in the room and exploded. It was sad.

Waaaaaay too much glowy blue penis post transformation. Cover that thing up, Dr. Manhattan! I know he doesn’t care if he’s covered or not because he really has no need for clothing or anything like that, but I didn’t need to see that much penis flopping around all throughout the film. I like men and everything, but penises are not pretty things, especially when they are just hanging there and flopping around when they walk. Glowing blue penises are even worse because they kind of scream “Hey! Look at me! I’m big and glowy and blue!” and you can’t not look at it.

Matthew Goode’s hair or shall I say wig. WTF? MG is actually a pretty hot guy with his normal hair, but with that weird blonde wig and the clothes that accompanied it, he looked like a big flaming homo rather than a kick ass superhero. Even in his costume he looked like a big ol’ queen because of that hair. Truly not a pretty site. I would have to tell my awesome gay boyfriends to stop and take a look in the mirror if any of them ever tried to go out into public looking like that.

Malin Akerman is super pretty, but she didn’t do much in the way of emoting and that would have come in super handy during her emotional scenes and her truly awkward make out scene and sex scene with Patrick Wilson. Speaking of the sex scene, it was kind of painful to watch. They both looked so uncomfortable with each other and it went on way too long and it wasn’t hot.

All in all, I was very happy with the film as a whole and would definitely like to see it again.

Eep! What happened to Belinda’s face? I’m scared.

TV talk…

Chuck was way fun last week. Unfortunately we didn’t have the right kind of 3D glasses, but it didn’t really matter. It was super fun seeing Dom on TV again too. He played a tool rock star again, but he looked to be having fun with it and his character really was a pretty decent guy. Just a bit clueless. I don’t think I ever realized how tiny he was either, though it could just be that Zachary Levi and Adam Baldwin are so big that he looked like a little shrimp next to them.

Supernatural is super rockin’ this season. It’s had a couple of not so super episodes over the seasons, but all in all it is very strong and just gets better and better and better. You can watch the DVDs over and over and it never gets old. Kind of like with Buffy and Angel. The writing and the characters are so great that you just can’t stop watching.

Aidan watched the 1st ep of Dexter with me a couple of days ago and was beyond creeped out. He said it was the scariest thing he’s ever seen. This coming from the kid who’s seen all the Saw, Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street films and all kinds of other B horror films. He said Dexter scared him the most because MCH’s portrayal of Dex seemed so real and like he could be anyone you meet on the street. It may sound odd, but I’m actually glad he was scared by that particular thing about Dex. He’s always been so annoyed with me for wanting to know where he is at all times and who he’s with and what he’s doing (you know how kids are) and I think the little light bulb finally clicked on and he realized that even though it’s just a show, that there are in fact real people like that out there. Not just Dex, but the freaky freaks he takes gets rid of. I don’t want him to be terrified because of having seen the show, but maybe it’ll make him think before bemoaning the fact that I’m checking in on him when he gets home from school and such. On an unrelated Aidan note, I’m so loving rewatching Dex again. It’s so good and MCH is just fantastic.

Burn Notice continues to be nothing less than fun and amazing each week. It’s so fun, witty and pretty. You should check it out if you haven’t yet.

More BSG picspams coming soon!

I went to see My Bloody Valentine 3D two more times this past weekend. That makes 4 viewings and it just gets better each time. Aidan was super happy to finally see it in 3D, though a few of the scenes freaked him out a little because of the things that come hurtling towards the screen.

They showed the trailer for The Last House on the Left before MBV and it looks really, really good. Even though the cast is fantastic, I’ve ready some good reviews and this one is apparently very restrained when compared to its original counterpart, I’m pretty certain that I won’t be able to watch it in theaters or on DVD. Well, maybe on DVD if I turn the sound off and fast forward through the rape with my eyes closed, but otherwise I won’t be able to handle it. I just don’t handle rape scenes well at all and seeing Garret Dillahunt attack poor little Sara Paxton will probably scar me for life. I love him as Cromartie and have enjoyed the few other things I’ve seen him in, but I’m pretty certain that I wouldn’t be able to look at him the same after seeing him in such a role. *shudders* I’ve never been able to see the original because of all the things I’ve read about it. It sounds like one of the most sadistic films ever and that it is simply sadistic for the sake of being sadistic and that isn’t my cup of tea.

On a lighter note, I’m still thoroughly enjoying S2 of Mad Men. Someone needs to get on the ball and make shiny and frequently updated Christina Hendricks and Jon Hamm fansites for me to visit because I need to ogle the pretty. I would do it myself, but I have no time and no desire to start any new sites.

I’m finally all caught up on BSG and it’s still one of the bestest shows ever. Leoben and Starbuck should have a scene in every episode and they should also have lots of hot Cylon sex and make babies. I know most people are Lee/Kara shippers, but no one has more chemistry with her than Leoben does. Not even Sam and we all know how crazy hot Michael Trucco is, right? Callum and Katee just have that thing that pops off the screen and I was immediately on board for what would never be from the the very first scene they shared together. Good stuff, people! You should totally watch even if you don’t think you’ll be into it because it’s Sci Fi because it’s a really fantabulous show with an even more fantabulous cast.

Darie got married this past weekend and it was so much fun. She looked amazing and I hope to have photos available soon.

Site Pimpage: Sophia Web is now open. There is a ton of gallery work left to do, as well as the video archive to build, which is going to take many months to complete, but it’s in pretty good shape as it is. I am in love with the layout as well, which was made by the awesome Dora.

My spider bite has healed nicely, but I do have a scar. It’s getting lighter though, so hopefully it’ll be completely gone within the next few months.

The only fall TV that I’m loving right now is Pushing Daisies, Supernatural (S3 is really strong), FNL (I choose to pretend that 1 storyline is not really happening), The Office and Chuck. I’m actually a couple of eps behind on The Office and Chuck, but will catch up soon because they are so much fun.

I hate the song ‘Hey There Delilah’ by The Plain White Ts. I don’t really know why I hate it so much though. It’s mellow and I like mellow and the singer has a nice enough voice, but I just can’t stand it. Blech!

On the good music front, I’m completely addicted to Ryan Adams’ Easy Tiger CD. It’s sooo good. Come to think of it, I’m actually kind of addicted to all things Ryan Adams right now. I know he’s supposed to be a total douche in real life, but he is one incredibly talented musician and therefore I am choosing to overlook that fact for the sake of good tunes.

I know there’s more, but that’s all I have for now.
