ficus is a funny word
May. 25th, 2013 06:45 pmNow, a more substantive post than my last.
I hope everyone is doing well! I do read my f-list regularly, but I know I miss things. So, tell me anything you want that you think I should know! I want to know.
So, on to fannish things!
I have finally finished all 3 books of The Hunger Games Trilogy: ( President Snow came a-knocking )
Yes. Well.
And then, I finally managed to go see Ironman 3 this friday. Thank goodness. I was getting desperate, avoiding spoilers! Also, this'll tell you how very well my blinders work in my attempt to remain spoiler free, because I had no idea Shane Black had co-written and directed Ironman 3. No, it's true, I had no idea. And then I was really desperate to watch it because everyone was going on and on about Shane Black and comparing Ironman 3 to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which is only my favorite movie ever. No, for serious. There's this very interesting article, "Shane Black Solves his Third-Act Problem", which I recommend.
Anyway, I don't have anything very critical or important to say about Ironman 3 except I loved it all. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is still, imo, a smarter script, but they're really too different to compare, even if Shane Black's hand can clearly be seen in both.
( Nothing but love here: )
But while I was successful in not spoiling myself for Ironman 3, I couldn't seem to avoid spoilers for Star Trek Into Darkness. Which was too bad. But whatever.

killabeez has already said nearly everything better than I can. And she points to liviapenn's comments, whom I also agree with. But here's a bit more:
( Star Trek Into Darkness/the JJ Abrams ST films )
Okay, I'm done.
