DOOD.

I think to read this LJ is to know that I have a very strong aversion to spoilers of any kind. Since most of my fandoms are very small, or, in fact, closed (GK), I don't have to deal with being spoiled too often. However. Today, I was spoiled for S2 of Southland by Michael Cudlitz, who plays John Cooper.

HOLY SHIT, COOPER'S GOING TO COME OUT TO BEN?!

AND DEWEY ALREADY KNOWS?!

I have to go have a drink on this one.

Jesus fuck can it be September 25th already or what? Why is he taunting the baby [livejournal.com profile] hackthis like this? I can just see this scene. Oh my god I want to write it so bad I could plotz. And no, I am totally not taking the angsty route. I'll leave that to the producers. This is going to be comedy gold where he comes out, and Ben just thinks John's fucking with him, trying to make him uncomfortable with hazing. And Ben's like, fine whatever, I admit it, I date guys! I said it, go ahead and give me shit. And John's a little startled, like, right, Short Stuff, whatever. And then Ben's all, if you have a problem with me being bi just say so and John's brain is like "it would be wrong to fuck with him. this could go badly" and then he puts the moves (wow, "moves" showing my age huh?) on him and Ben's like hooray! And John's like, wow, that backfired hardcore. Go team me.



I also saw The Hurt Locker this weekend.

So, first the shallow stuff:

The fact that Katheryn Bigelow, who directed this film, is 57 and looks like a fucking supermodel at 35? Can I do that when I'm 57?

She's got legs that would make Christy Turlington cry.

Now, on to deeper things.

Where could a girl find James/Sanborn/Eldridge fic? No, like, really, I think I'm going to have to ask for that for [livejournal.com profile] yuletide, because that? That was some wild shit.

Actually, no, the Sanborn/James thing was some insane stuff. That fight scene in James' quarters, when they were punching each other totally made me think of [livejournal.com profile] svilleficrecs when she asked me to write Brad and Nate fighting, but frankly, if Brad and Nate started fighting like Sanborn and James? Uh, that would lead to relationship meltdown, b/c when James SAT on Sanborn and he went apeshit? Whoa. Oh, and the fact that Sanborn decked a superior officer?!

WHAT?!

Insanity.

And the cameos by Guy Pearce and Ralph Finnes? Nice.

Seriously, though, if everybody involved doesn't get nominated for something there is no justice... which there isn't anyway. I would've loved more character time, but you know it was 130 miuntes not a seven part miniseries.

That part where Eldridge got kidnapped, because James wanted to play cowboy did make me think a lot about Encino Man and how people in charge totally just abuse the hell out of their subordinates sometimes. Except I really liked James, but damn was he a dick.

I'm sure I have other thinking thoughts. I'm tired right now though and want to go back to watching my pretentious French films.

Oh, if you're interested in really just killing yourself with war angst, also go see Waltz with Bashir, which is about a Lebanese massacre in the early 1980s. I'd, uh, have some Prozac on hand if you try to make this a double feature.

I'm going to work on it today! I swear it will be done! I just need to figure out where my brain is and then I can get it all taken care of. I'm *sure* of it.

I feel bad that I've been taunting you with it for so long. Normally I'm much better at cranking this kind of thing out. I've changed my plans for today so that they include just staying at home. I figure I can get to all the other stuff in a little bit, I need some home time. So I imagine there will be porn today. That's what usually happens.

At least I've provided *other* porn in the interim, right? That helps? Or does that make it worse? Um, lie to me and tell me it makes it better, okay?

I think u iz awesome and I would like to write you prons. If I could scrabble something together. And I think it's definitely a good idea for you to stay at home and just chill for a bit. You've been very busy. Stillness is a-okay.
