X-Men:Frist Class, White Collar, Game of Thrones

Do you guys know these days when surfing the flist is though? Itt's like I cannot make sense of anything. But then, I've been copy-pasting all morning, so maybe that plays a major part.

Anyways I finally saw X-Men.

I must admit I truly regret having been on lj this much the past few weeks, because I was way to hyped even when I was trying so hard not to be. I have no idea up to this point how I feel about the movie. I feel like they could have dne so much more. I'm not sure. That said, I'm a big James McAvoy fan, so I loved him and I though all the actors and characters were fun and I loved the cameo especially. I think the finale though was kind of anticlimatic. Like I said, no idea how I feel about the film.

Charles and Erik sort of suffered the Thor syndrom. There was just too little built up for me. Mind you, I loved them. But there should have been more of this.





White Collar
Oddly enough I really loved this episode even though I'm so apprehensive over this eason arc. I think it has to do with the fact that I loooove scavenger hunts. It was sort of Indiana Jones-ish in that respect. The overall arc with Neill and Mozzie seems out of character to me though. It seems a bit liek Neill is doing it because o a habit and not because he wants to.
also the new credits are really really really bad. And boring and slow...and bad.





Game of Thrones
Lot's of talk about this and I don't have much to say, except that the scene with Jon and Aemon is one of my favorites in the books and I loved it here. Also Kit's voice is amazing. also I really loved Shae.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES. I was so thrilled to see Anna Chlumsky, though. I hope she'll be back :)

Which of the cameos was the one you loved?

I really enjoyed it. Then again, after the mess of X3, it's had not to be impressed!

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2011-06-16 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I loved Wolverine's the best. Fantastic and fun.

I enjoyid it too.,.. but with all the buzz I think I was expecting a lot more.

[identity profile] abby-i.livejournal.com 2011-06-17 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, I was lucky to avoid the buzz. I knew people liked it, but I stayed well away otherwise (though due to time, not choice).

Buzz is great, but it can ruin things when people actually go to watch it. :(

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2011-06-17 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
mmm..a friend of mine also avoided the buzz but had the same reaction as I did. so who knows, no but buzz might not have changed anything for me.

And buzz is often great.

So true!!!!!! She seemed so familiar.
Then I saw the credits and remembered her from "My Girl."

[identity profile] legoline.livejournal.com 2011-06-16 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I actually recognised her. I saw her and went, "It can't be--CAN IT? OMG!!!! :D It made me sad for Thomas J.

By the way, can you help me with my applications for the sample translations tomorrow? I have never in my life had to write an actual application before, I don't know how to tackle it :-/

And I saw your twitter and was about to offer *g* Meaning I will do my best :)

Macauly Culkin's character on My Girl :)

Oh, thank you! PHEW. I couldn't even find a decent first sentence. :D

Ah.. see I don't remember their names ;)

And between me you and Elsmoka we will create the perfect wording.

I know the feeling :)
I'm sure we will figure something out.

Oh noes :(

Did you change your Jon icon?

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2011-06-17 10:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yes..so evil...the weather is really nice.

And I have two versions of the icon. Good, right?

Very good :D

Vielen Dank! :)

Ist mir ne Freude. Hattest du denn einen schönen Tag?

[identity profile] jeherion.livejournal.com 2011-06-16 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Einen sehr schönen sogar. :)

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2011-06-16 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Du genießt und schweigst ;) Find ich gut.

*lach* Ich bin übrigens total fasziniert von Deinem Jon Snow Icon. Selbst gemacht, oder? :)

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2011-06-17 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Ja.., das habe ich glaube ich letzten Sonntag gemacht. Dass ich aber wieder nur eins geschafft habe ist echt traurig.

[identity profile] realproof.livejournal.com 2011-06-16 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah. same here. I feel like XMen was quite entertaining, and I see where the shipper-explosion came from (though, to be fair the interviews with those two really are cute), but all the hype made me expect *so* much more. I still thought it was alright, mind, better than X3 definitely (though that's not hard, is it?). I dunno, maybe in time I'll like it more.

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2011-06-16 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
The interviews are fantastic. I watched a few myself. But yeah... way too much hype can be a bad thing.

And I think so too.. At least I'm hoping.

[identity profile] realproof.livejournal.com 2011-06-16 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
They are so adorable. :D

It can be. Well, give it time. I mean, we both didn't hate it, so there is a chance of us liking it better some day.

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2011-06-17 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
I think so too :) And who knows.. maybe I will just read some fic and get into ti that way.

Dankeschön! Ich war arbeiten und werde mich gleich von meinem Schatz verwöhnen lassen (es ist nicht das, was ihr denkt, er wird mich bekochen ;-))

Bei X-Men bin ich froh, dass ich nichts von dem Hype mitbekommen habe. So habe ich einfach den Film genossen und ja, ich habe den Subtext zwischen Charles und Erik mitbekommen. Aber es waren auch so viele andere Kleinigkeiten, die mich schmunzeln ließen, dass es für mich ein schöner, runder Kinoabend war.

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2011-06-17 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
Heeee..naja.. verwöhnen lassen ist ja gut egal wie ;)

Und das ist cool. Ich fand halt dass viele der Dinge hätten tiefer behandelt werden müssen. Aber bei so nem Ensemble ist das natürlich immer schwierig.
