I'm a digital girl in a digital world

exsequarI spent my Friday night hanging out with the sci fi soc boys (yes, again) but this time we just stayed in their club room and watched Sunshine and Not Another Teen Movie and Shaun of the Dead. Sunshine was FABULOUS. A really awesome sci fi/horror movie. Yes, it really did become quite scary, but they did a good job of making you care about the characters quickly so it really hit hard. It was also beautifully made, with some of the best CGI work I've ever seen. I really liked it a lot.
Not Another Teen Movie is hilarious - what I find amusing though is that it makes fun of several movies that i absolutely love, and has the effect of making me want to see them RIGHT NOW. Ten things I hate about you! Bring it on! Two of my very favoritest movies, haha.
Putting on Shaun of the Dead was inspired, I think, by my tshirt - I was wearing my Threadless "What to do in a zombiepocalypse" tshirt, the one that tells you "she's not your mother anymore!" Hahaha. Of course there was a few minutes of everyone staring at my chest and trying to read the instructions, lmao. I love that shirt ;)
So I just realized that Resident Evil: Extinction is out here, OMG. I really really really want to see it! I have to think that some of the sci fi guys wanna see it too, but I feel kind of awkward calling. I wanted to call or text Colin seeing if he wanted to go, but I decided against texting because it's hard to say everything I want to say in a text - namely, asking if he liked the first two, asking if anybody else would want to go, and explaining that it's totally cool if he doesn't want to. You know, to make it clear that I'm not asking him out. Because I'm not! I just wanna see the movie, lol. The only other guys' numbers from the group I have are Conor (you know, the one from the club night, so, awkward) and Niall, who is out of town now. Meh. I'll figure it out!
Guys, SO MUCH TEEVEE. I downloaded and watched Supernatural, of course, because that's still top priority. I liked some things about the episode, but from reading other peoples' reactions, I was seeing that people loved the episode and then they'd have a line in their reaction about what they DIDN'T like - namely, Ben's similarities to Dean being way too pronounced, or Sam and Dean not being together a lot - but they still loved the episode. My problem is that those two things grated on me so terribly that I had a hard time enjoying the episode as a whole. Dude, music taste is not genetic. Not in that specific of a way, anyway. And what the hell kind of 8 year old is an obnoxious girl chaser? Eight year old boys say "ewww, girls!" and no genes are going to change that. There were a few moments that made me "aww" - particularly Ben running back and hugging Dean, and then of course the very end when Dean is at his vulnerable, softie best. And that's the thing - I HATE horndog Dean. Okay, hate is a strong word, but it's definitely my least favorite thing about him. So the fact that they are playing it up right now is really, really turning me off the whole thing. The moments when we see real Dean, sensitive, compassionate, wonderful Dean, that's when I finally get latched in.
The other thing turning me off is Dean and Sam drifting away from each other. It's hard to enjoy the show when I'm impatiently waiting for Sam and Dean to have a real conversation.
And the third thing that really bothered me about the episode was the girl. The demon girl, to clarify, because Lisa, aka Gumby, was awesome (and GORGEOUS, holy crap). There were a couple things about demon girl that were fun - the ketchup thing was pretty great - but mostly her mannerisms just annoyed the fuck out of me. I don't think the girl is a good actress, I think her dialogue is stilted and cliched, and I just. don't. like her. The demon twist is cool, and I'm intrigued, but I can't help that when she talks I kind of want to slap her.
Things I did like: Sam being hotter than the sun, goddamn. The creepy creepy Changeling plot - those kids freaked me OUT, and the woman drowning her kid in the car was really painful. And the info that Mary's friends all got killed, and the yellow-eyed demon storyline is not done yet, not by a long shot - I like that. I'm looking forward to that unfolding.
I feel bad getting down on our show. I really do. I still love our boys and I have hopes that things will start picking up. I'm sorry if I harshed anyone's squee, it is not my intent! I WANT to love our show, really I do, but I'm just not feeling it at the moment.
As for other TV - I'm downloading SGA 4x03 and Pushing Daisies 1x02 right now, I have to download FNL 2x02 later, I already have the latest episodes of House and Heroes downloaded, as well as the pilot of Dirty Sexy Money because everyone and their sister is raving about it. So. Much. TV! *flails* And I should probably be studying at some point, meh.
Ahahahahaha. My roommate just changed the channel and went "Oh my god, it's Junior." and I was like huh? So she explained that it's a movie about Arnold Schwarzenegger HAVING A BABY. Like. PHYSICALLY BIRTHING A CHILD. THIS MOVIE IS ABOUT MPREG. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
And on that note, farewell <3
