ickaimpUm. Okay. RL just picked up speed like mad again, will talk about that later.
Right now, MOVIES!!!
-Speed Racer-
The new one. Can kind of understand people's complaints about the brightness/cartooniness of the colours, but honestly, it just kind of reminded me of Batman Forever.
Really really enjoyed this one, enjoyed the twists, was highly entertained and am debating getting it on DVD myself.
-Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy-
To be honest, this was my second time watching and was mostly watching it for Sherlock crossover plunnies (to eventually be written). I put the closed captioning on, turned the audio track to the director's commentary and wrote other fic, now posted. Yarn spitting machine was great.
-Jekyll-
By Steven Moffatt, who did the 'Blink' episode of Doctor Who, and the new Sherlock. (which is love and highly recommended)
I wouldn't rank 'Jekyll' as high as 'Sherlock', but still recommend it. It's a continuation of the book, set in modern time. Slightly dark, as Jekyll should be, and addictive. James Nesbitt does an EXCELLENT job as both 'Dr. Jackman' and 'Mr. Hyde', as well as the three or four other roles that he plays.
-Axis Powers Hetalia-
After seeing so many people on f-list flail over this series one way or another, was curious a while back and tried reading the comic. It made a loose amount of sense, but was confusing.
The anime makes much, much more sense.
... Does it make me a bad girl to say I really like the series? Not the rabid-fangirl love that the series seems to spark, but enjoyed it immensely. (pinkie promise for the Pact of Steel? *snerks*)
Favourite character is totally England. I liked the character, love the fact he sees and talks to mythological creatures, then looked up from my sewing to see him sewing and... yeah. That cemented it right there. Cackle over antagonistic/drinking buddies relationship he has with France.
Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein are so much fun to watch interact. And I love the fact that every time Ukraine moves, her rather large tracks of land make a booming bouncy noise. XD
Couldn't figure out why this is 'Mature' until Holy Roman Empire kissed Italy (chibi kisses are hysterical!) and I remembered that not everyone is okay with that sort of thing. *Snerks* Even if everyone except Hungary thought Italy was a girl.
(fic recs, please? I am loving Amor Vincit Omnia, a HP crossover)

Jekyll is 6 hour-long episodes, so it's good to stretch over a couple of nights. We did it in 2, leaving the last chapter as a cliffhanger because we were exhausted. ^^;;

YAY HISTORY!!!!
