Day 15 - A scene that makes you angry

The one where they gave Bela Talbot a sob story and made her the victim of sexual abuse. Sorry, but that just doesn't click for me. They set her up as a greedy bitch, they should've kept her a greedy bitch. Especially since by that time they had decided to get rid of her anyway. This was the closest the show ever came to jumping the shark, IMHO - the writers screwed up with this character, they should've faced the music and not try to "fix her" ham-handedly.

( The rest... )

PotC - the audio commentary

I listened to the audio commentary by Gore Verbinski (the director) and Johnny Depp. They mostly gushed about Geoffrey Rush - Johnny Depp was so excited to make a film with him - or about Keira Knightley. Orlando Bloom was mentioned only in passing - when Verbinski talked about how the various actors' approached their sword fighting training and Orlando was all "Oh, I know how to do that, I DID Lord of Rings, you know? I can handle that" - so, I have to wonder if Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom didn't get along or if there was just nothing to say. But it didn't seem like there was bad blood or something, Johnny did say that Orlando had a great talent for comedy and that he should do more of that. So, who knows? *shrugs*

I just skimmed through Keira Knightley's audio commentary - by then, it was almost 1am! - but she seemed to have had a lot of fun with Orlando, even though they had only four scenes together. It was so funny to hear her gush about their kiss, Elizabeth and Will's, she even said it out loud, "I'll be gushy now!" She almost swooned about the way he kissed her and then she giggled about how the teenage girls on the set were giving her the evil eye, LOL! Oh, and I didn't know she was only 17 at that time. Wow! Also, Jack Davenport who played Norrington? Seems to be a really funny guy!

Watching due South

Burning Down the House: A hilarious episode! I loved that Fraser "neglected to mention" that his apartment house burned down. Oh, Turnbull, never change - when Ray asked "Is he for real?", I LOL'd! Yes, Ray, there's someone weirder than Fraser :)) It was so funny how set Fraser was on proving that Ray wasn't Ray! And RayV's phone call, he so didn't want to leave Fraser...

Eclipse: The best part? Ray asking Fraser if he found him attractive, you know, as a woman. LOL! And then Fraser admitted that, yes, he did pretend to be a woman in the past. Ray's LOOK! Or the thing with the glasses, "I didn't know you were blind!" These two... \o/ One thing, though - someone did steal the 9 kilo of heroin...
