Random Roundup

So after yesterday's desert I have to make three posts today at least.

First I got a mod's choice win at bones_stills for this icon.



That was a nice way to start the day. There are some really great icon makers in there so that was a real joy.

Next I caught up on Got to Dance which is my current crack viewing. It was the last of the auditions last night, followed by narrowing down the 200 shortlist to 28. That was so difficult they had to have a dance off between 8 acts for 4 places. Everyone was good and it came down to two body poppers who had to go through as a duo because they couldn't pick.  My favourite was a bollywood dance group. Such energy! I know nothing about dance and can't do it so it really is just mindless drivel to me, but I always cry when someone goes through.

Talking of mindless drivel I finally watched Ghost Writer. OMG. Alan Cumming was clearly mentally challenged when he directed this film and David Boreanaz had nothing better to do.

I fast forwarded through quite a bit of it. He looked good in women's underwear and fairy lights

and clearly channelled a cross between Angelus and that Crash Test Dummy bloke he played in The Crow to be the ghost.

He died gorily too.

 

But the film?

 

 

Would have been a better short. Way too long and self indulgent as it stood.

 

It's a lovely sunny day and I am about to have a sandwich before embarking on my Seeley in Season 3 post. Wheeee - the energy she is with me. Or is that the Force? Also out for a meal with friends again this week and I have posted a card to the daughter of even more friends whose birthday is tomorrow. I even remembered to put a stamp on.

We saw Ghost Writer at a film fest and watched it from the front row -- not like the big cineplex front row where you have to bend your head back at a 90 degree angle to see it, but at an old, funky art house with a stage and the first six or so rows taken out and replaced with couches.

The sight of Big Dave in a bra and panties on the big, big screen? Wow. Yeah, I'm not so sure I remember the rest of the film....

Oh, right. It was long. Very, very long. But big man. Panties. umm...

I knew you'd enjoy seeing them him again, hence piccies. Yes it was a long long film.

I actually thought the first half of the movie was well done. But after David died, it went off the rails.

I will say that was a really brave performance by Dave - very raw and intense. And no stills of the opening hot sex scene? For shame.

No they were all blurry LOL.

Indeed, Dave likes to take risks and the psychological thriller part of the movie gave him a chance to let rip. He really doesn't care what he looks like either. Yes the self indulgence referred to after Sebastian died and Cumming was living the dream.
