Because of Simon Pegg, and he's blink-and-you-missed-it there. But, it wasn't so bad as I was bracing for! Don't get me wrong, the female characters are those of a Kripke show, as in they take a back seat to the decidedly less interesting male ones, and it starts with a blatant fridging purely for manpain. Having said that, it's very watchable (mostly because of the cast), and the characters, even the minor ones, have enough layers to avoid being uninteresting. Will cautiously try a second season if it gets made.
Yesterday I took my dad to the doctor. My dad is a slob, and my mom is constantly at his heel telling him to change into fancier clothes, brush whatever hair he has left, etc. But he's also fifty years old, and if he wants to leave the house in muddy shoes and not having showered today so be it. It doesn't reflect bad at my because he's not my toddler son, so it is not my responsability how he presents himself. Explaining this to my mother took roughly half an hour (dad stayed at my house overnight because the doctor is closer and the appointment was very early). The doctor told me he should stop smoking. I told the doctor my dad is mentally sound so he should tell him and not me because I'm his daughter, not his puppeteer. So that went that way. Dad silently made his own tea when we got home, put away the overnight bag he'd previously thrown in the floor when it became clear I wasn't going to, and remembered I don't take after my mom.
My sisters and I call our great-grandmother 'old mommy', our grandmother 'mother' (as does everyone, even the neighbours, I don't know why), mum of course is mum, and our aunt Nikki 'little mum' because she lived with us when we were children. D is baffled by this, but to be fair it's only confusing when they're all in the same room.
Fantastic Beasts 2
Nov. 26th, 2018 12:03 pmThey could have had Jared Harris (always great) as young(ish) Dumbledore as fans wanted and maybe Jude Law as Grindelwald? Or keep Law as Dumbledore and Madds Mikkelsen as Grindelwald, since Grindelwald isn't supposed to be British anyway. But Depp's casting was a success in one thing at least: I no longer care to see any Dumbledore/Grindelwald on screen, because EWWW, Johnny Depp. And since everyting else regarding the plot and characters seems to be a massive fail, I'll skip this one.

Jul. 30th, 2015 12:25 amSo I might have wrote a John Connor-kidnaps-guy-who-looks-like-Skynet-but-its-just-a-coincidence crack!fic. And then Sarah and Kyle Reese might try to rescue or eliminate said guy, who no longer knows how to explain the whole derranged future family he barely knows how to use his smartphone, let alone how to create an AI no matter how in the future, and could you please tell the huge guy to stop trying to shoot me?
