re: finishing Dragonhaven:

EFF YOU YANN MARTEL, THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE, oops I almost bawled while the algebra kids were taking a quiz, also keeping it despite the fact that it's like four days overdue because I cannot yet bear to part with it, need to buy ASAP, THIS IS HOW IT IS DONE




re: last week's Glee:
Ryan Murphy please stop writing you are a frenetic idiot there were so many good individual scenes in this episode but they weren't at all coherent and I didn't have enough time to dwell on any of them long enough for them to have true emotional weight, why do you ruin everything

also what happened to Na'vi-speaking!Sam? I miss him.

also how you managed to make Carol Burnett feel utterly superfluous is a talent that I think you should hide for, like, forever. SERIOUSLY HOW DID YOU DO THAT, IT'S CAROL BURNETT. I hate you forever, just for that.

ANYWAY.  BACK TO YOUR NORMALLY SCHEDULED LIVES.

ETA:  WHAT THE HELL WE LOST.  HOW DID THAT HAPPEN.

although I am seriously tempted to turn this into my Enchanted rant because srsly y'all I just can't bring myself to love that movie EDWARD DESERVED BETTER OKAY maybe I would love it more if a) I cared about Robert a.5) I didn't get so upset at the way they just dump Nancy I mean Edward had only known Giselle for a day fine but Nancy had been waiting on that ring for HOW LONG? and b) I didn't love Sleeping Beauty so much you know what? I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY WITH THE PRINCE SAVING THE GIRL. AND WITH THE GUY AND THE GIRL GETTING TOGETHER. It's ridiculous, of course, but it's also quite lovely. P.S. I care more about what happens to Edward than I do about what happens to Robert.

Anyway that's not even a taste of the Enchanted rant (part of me wants to investigate how to turn said rant into an academic article, but anyway), this is the Star Trek post! 'cause I went to see it today! With my family! First we were going to go see it at 3:15, but then like WHOA THE SCREEN, IT WAS SO BIG and there was only room for us on like the second row and MY EYES, THEY DON'T SEE THE WAY THEY NEED TO for sitting that close. Malone and Mum were actually heading towards motion sickness, sooooooooo we went to a later showing instead. And frankly we still sat a little too close for that one too, but oh well, at least I could watch it. Also

Dear Movie Theatres of America,
There are still some people in this world who have sensitive ears and who haven't blown them out listening to iPods and who really don't like having them pounded for two straight hours because of unnecessarily high decibles.
Love,
Jade

yes I am an old woman shut up.

ANYWAY THE MOVIE.

IN OTHER NEWS

actually first relating to Star Trek I ought to do a post about movies that "revitalize" franchises and what that means.

secondly MY BIRTHDAY PRESENTS, I NEED TO TAKE PICTURES AND SHOW THEM TO YOU quarkie I am so self-conscious about my picture because like dude how do I explain to my family who's in it but OMG HE'S TAKING HER PINS OUT OF HER HAIR *melts into a giant puddle of goo*

thirdly Carth Onasi is probably my most favorite romantic interest in a game EVER and I want to play KOTOR 1.5: The Game Where You're Revan Wandering For Four Years. Because it could totally link up with the end of KOTOR II and make it all better (Atton you are so totally Dustil in my head it is not even funny).

fourthly Malone is totally with me on the Sam's Town Zutara Movie now if only I had something other than Windows Movie Maker oh yeah if only I had all the episodes.

finally omg so much f-list to read y'all I'm reading and thinking about y'all even if I'm not commenting.

LOTS OF LOVE,
Jade

So this is a copy-and-paste of the notes I took while watching it.  It's vaguely proofread, and the stuff in brackets is me explaining what I was thinking.

My next task is to compile all the comments I made over at katara_zuko tonight and put together a meaningful post...before tomorrow. HOMG TOMORROW LOOKS AWESOME TOO.
