Dark Angel

[roguem]

Just finished season 1 of 'Dark Angel' yesterday, the series is much better than I remember it. Seems I am getting a thing for tv shows where girls kick ass. :) And why not? As Max says; "Girls kick ass, says so on a t-shirt." ;)

Loved the episode with Jensen Ackles, Pollo Loco. He portrayed psycho Ben so good. I loved it, though I did get a 'Supernatural' thing when he said; 'I'm a good soldier, I try so hard'. Hehe, what is it with me and the psycho characters? Seriously.

Started season 2 tonight, seen two episodes so far. It's changed pace a bit, but I like it, doesn't hurt that Jensen has gotten a regular spot in the series now. Now he plays Alec, name of smart-alec. He's kind of a younger Dean character. Maybe Alec and Ben were made from Dean's DNA. :P

Yes, I likes my conspiracy theories.

Am really looking forward to new 'Supernatural' episodes, good thing they come after my essay deadlines though. Have finally finished the big 4000 word essay, have now moved over to the complicated 2500 word essay. If you know anything about cinephilia, please share.

Anyways, back to 'Supernatural', I know there's been some changes, so the sickbed promo thing is a bit early, apparantly there's one or two episodes before that one. Looking forward to getting that show back. I really am! I need more quotable Sam/Dean moments. It is the 10th of January the start the new batch, right?

I really liked season one of Dark Angel. Season 2 was ok, but didn't have the same pull, and it didn't seem, to me, to have the same quality of writing, and the same level of idea-ness (no, that's not a real word).

But I did, after all, run out and buy and read the 3 novels based on the series.

Hehe, i do see what you mean about season 2, after just two episodes. THe whole not-touching-or-you'll-die thing between Logan and Max I felt was very bad writing. And I'm not a big fan of the new girl either.

Hehe, well, I understand that, it's a good concept.

I used to watch DA - loved Jess Alba! But that poor girl has made some horrible movies:-(

I remember when DA was cancelled - James Cameron said something about wanting to do a movie. Guess that's not happening after all. Since he wants to do a live action based on the Battle Angel Alita manga and anime, maybe he'll use Jess.

And what do you mean by cinephilia?

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, she's made a lot of crap. Think the only movie I've seen with her that I really enjoyed was 'Sin City', but I wasn't a big fan of her work in that film tough.

There is a movie... the last episode is the movie... I remember watching some behind the scenes thing on E! while they were making it.

“Cinephilia is the name of the very specific kind of love that cinema inspired. Each art breeds its fanatics. The love that cinema inspired, however, was special. It was born of the conviction that cinema was an art unlike any other; quintessentially modern; distinctively accessible; poetic and mysterious and erotic and moral - all at the same time.” -Susan Sontag

Can't wait for 'Scarecrow' (10th) and then 'Faith' (on the 17th).. yay!

Cinephilia.. nice topic! I so love the movies!! :-)

It's late/early, I'm gonna get some sleep. Just watched a whole lot of D.A season 2.. Alec is so adorable!

Oh, so many days... I needs my Supernatural. :) Must buy DVD's when they are released. Have burned the disc for you with all 10 eppy's + some stuff. Can I have my rewritable CD back please?

I love movies too, but this is a bit complex.

Hehe, you'll have to sit through most of them again then, because I've only seen two episodes so far.

[beluga.livejournal.com]

Yeah I'll bring them over..

I've decided I'm not gonna be healthy enough for Grethe's party.. I hate partying with a cold..

Me and you and a movie.. sounds so much better!

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Well, if you feel better by Saturday feel free to go to Grethe. :)

Movie... I should be getting Hooligans one of these days... and you're getting Devour?
I dunno why, but every year, New Years feels more and more like the perfect day to watch scary movies... or, you know, end of the world movies. ;p

[beluga.livejournal.com]

Nah. I'm sticking with you.

Devour and Hooligans sounds perfect. Fingers crossed they'll get here on time!!

Btw. I just went crazy on www.play.com thanks to you. Now I've spent over £100 on dvds in 2 days.. You owe me! :-p

Hope so... Hooligans was posted before christmas Eve, so should be getting here.

Hehe, well you can't blame anything onther than Sledge Hammer on me, and 21 Jump Street, but you're the one who's been talking about wanting them, so I just wanted to help you out.

[beluga.livejournal.com]

Everything I do wrong is your fault. That's just the way it is.

I'm always without blame.

Hehe, sneak!

Not to worry I enjoy seeing girls kick ass. ;)

I love Dark Angel! First season was better. But I stil love 2nd season a bit more coz of the Jensen factor. I adore the episode called " The Barisford Agenda" such a well written episode.

Alec = GUH!

That is all.

[roguem.livejournal.com]

One of the reasons I loved ' Kill Bill'. ;)

I agree that the first season was better. Jensen saves the second season, I love his character! I loved Ben too though. "The Barisford Agenda"!!! I saw that yesterday and was squeeing the whole time. Had to send my friend beluga a squee mail afterwards, becaus I didn't wanna bug my flist again.

Alec ♥
