one more unexpected surprise.....also Aquaman

For reasons that do not bear close examination, last wednesday I took a graceful (very graceful!) tumble off a golf cart (really, you don't want to know... chalk it up to immaturity) onto hard asphalt. My hat, coffee cup and water bottle went flying. The result is I have a scraped elbow that hurt like a mofo and a scraped upper butt lol. I banged my knee and leg, too, but didn't bruise anywhere. How I didn't crack my head open, I do not know. My sunglasses stayed on my face. My friends have taken to calling me Die Hard. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In other news, I went to see Aquaman )

In other other news, all of the Highlander Holiday Shortcuts are revealed! (authors still hidden!) I'm behind on reading, but there are some gems, as always.

Justice League! Or the one with the bad guy who is NOT the same as the late 60s rock band

As promised, here are my thoughts on the Justice League movie. :D Okay, so I'm two weeks later than I intended.... haha. [insert that insane looking emoji with the bugged eyes and tongue sticking out]

First off, this might be my favorite DCEU film, not counting Wonder Woman (which is a better all around film). Yes, that surprised me, too. I was prepared to be bored. Honestly, the entire DCEU just has a really hard job, imo, and I'm a generous viewer, not particularly inclined to be hypercritical of an OTT superhero film. I mean, they are behind the eight ball right from the get go. At least with me, these films are a hard sell. Partly because I REALLY REALLY loved Superman as a kid. Really loved him. Huge huge fan of Christopher Reeve's Clark Kent. He will always be Superman for me. Always. So every time I see Superman performed by a different actor (and not to single out Cavill; he's fine. it's literally anyone else other than CR), it's... well. Not the same.

To a lesser degree I have that problem with Batman, too. But at least with Batman we have a gazillion other films with a constant rotation of Batmans, it's easier accepting Affleck in the role. But... well, more on that behind the cut. Yet, I am very much attached to Christian Bale's Batman. I admit it. I loved that guy. I loved that trilogy. Everything about it. It pretty much gave me everything I could ever want with Bruce Wayne/Batman, (except for the lack of Robin. )

ANYWAY. I ramble. Friends, I even watched Justice League TWICE! And not only that! I went and.... (wait for it)....searched AO3 and read fic. *GASP*. I even searched out Bruce/Barry... I know. I have no idea who I am right now. there isn't much, though, for that pairing on ao3, and most of it is ridiculous.

My wandering thoughts on the Justice League movie....and a fic rec. )

Well that's me succeeding at a decent amount of procrastination lol. Now, back to editing.
