Oscar-squee and a whine
Jan. 16th, 2015 12:10 pmSorry this is just to squee over the Oscars. Benedict Cumberbatch for his role as genius Alan Turing in "The Imitation game"-yay. Michael Keaton for "Birdman"-dito. Emma Stone also for "Birdman".
Most of all J.K Simmons for "Whiplash." Major squee. Oh I wish I hadn't read Birtish mag Uncut's review of "Whiplash," they seem only to know Simmons from "Juno" and express surprise that he can be less kindly. Sigh. He was less than cuddly in "Spiderman" and let's not forget Vern Schillinger. As if anyone who's seen "Oz" ever could. Gah-how much effort does it take to do a quick google before you write something?
Sigh.
Plenty of local reviewers have never even heard of Turing. Another sigh from me.
Okay back to squeeing.

The fifty best dramas
Jan. 7th, 2015 05:27 pmPretty decent list here..
http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/
The number one is the Wire..well, that's fine by me.
Oz gets a respectable showing at 16. No Homicide: LOTS. Booh.
What Smallville is doing on that list is beyond me..it's hardly a drama. Nor is X-Files. Is sci-fi a dirty word?
Oh well.

Dear Not Prime Time Player
Apr. 28th, 2014 09:35 pmThank you for doing this. Write almost anything in these fandoms and I'll be happy..
Dislikes inlude bad things happening to small kids or animals, also no incest or underage stuff in romances. Likes inlude a plot-heavy story or a reflective piece. Angst always welcome, smut welcome, romance welcome(het, slash-whatever). Morally grey stuff can be fascinating if done well. Just get inside the characters head and see the world from their perspective.
So for fandoms-
Highlander-anything Methos makes me happy, be it historical adventures or present time stuff. I ship Methos/Duncan or Methos/Amanda/Duncan. Anything Amanda or Joe is great. Just let them hang out and tell stories maybe-
Oz-Anything with Chris Keller and Tobias Beecher or Ryan O'Reily is good. Preferably a happy ending for all of them. Whatever happy means in Oz anyway. Inventive Aus and canon-it's all good.
Arrow-I'd love anything Nyssa ever. Adventures and love with Sara would be great.
Slade Wilson-anything really. Maybe a good redemption story.
Shado-kicking ass and just hanging with someone. Romance with Slade would be awesome. Then maybe go AU.
And have fun.
