Oh, DVDs, so shiny!

Amazon shipped Fast & Furious and The Middleman my way! *twirls* In a few weeks, I will hold my very own, shiny F&F box set in my hands. For real! Dom and Brian and fast cars and... *bounces*

BTW, the next movie in the F&F franchise will be obviously called Faster than Furious! I just hope that they will keep Chris Morgan as the writer and Justin Lin as the director because those two love to push the chemistry between Paul Walker and Vin Diesel!

Leverage 1x01

1x01, The Nigerian Job: The audio commentary was interesting, done by Dean Devlin and his two execs. It was quite technical, what camera did they use and when etc. But they also explained how they saw the relationships on the show, like between Nathan and Hardison or between Nathan and Eliot... But the best part was Sophie as Lady Macbeth and them talking about Gina Bellman, how she was a theater actress, how she played roles like that all the time on stage - and now she had to "murder the part", like totally blow it and how it was so hard for her XD That was quite funny!

Leverage 1x02+1x03

1x02, The Homecoming Job: Wow, the actor playing the victim in the wheelchair, Jake McLaughlin, was a real Iraq vet! And the execs love Chris Kane's talent for comedy! And Robert Pine, Chris Pine's father! And all they showed in this ep was real, it's all researched and possible, no cheating. Wow! And I love how they talk about the characters' quirks: Eliot disarms every firearm in sight, Parker has an almost "sexual relationship" with money, Nathan always drives a environment-friendly car... And when they talk about the chemistry among the cast, about how much the actors like each other, aww...

1x03, The Wedding Job: I loved it when the execs talked about the siblings-like relationship between Eliot and Hardison and then later between Eliot and Parker. And then about the huge fight with Anthony De Longis that Christian Kane had in the kitchen, that was awesome. And did you know that Andrew Divoff speaks 6 languages? Wow!

The commentaries are great. They explain the tiny details that you would miss and why the episode order should be like this, the continuity, Nathan's drinking problem... Great! :)

Two of my favorite SGA podfics...

... are part one and two of the "Jump to the Left" series written by princess_bunny aka glitterandlube and read by onetimeoffer. They are hilarious. Basically, it's an AU series - locked, deleted and available only in podfic-form - in which John and Rodney meet when they are 11 and they go through their lives together in a very funny way.

Parts for download: "Mr. Fantastic And Einstein's Wife" and "Snapshots".

I just love those two tiny ficlets. I listen to them every time I feel down and they never fail to make me smile!
