Movies: The Price of Milk and Doom reviews

[pslasher]

Well, more like my quick thoughts on them.

The Price of Milk

Absurd: Yes

Quirky: Hell yes

Adorable: Yes

I loved Karl in this, he was just adorable.  Especially in the beginning when they are all in love, and especially in the opening credits when he's sleeping with that ridiculous bed head.  I LOVED the bit with her swimming in the milk.  His face when he found her was priceless, and then got mad at her, then jumped in with her, and it was just the cutest thing ever.  And I think that might have actually been his butt.  I mean, that's a pretty small tank, how many grown men can you hide in it?  The whole befuddled, unlucky in love thing looked good on him, poor thing, but I'm glad it ended well for them.

Plus, I squeed when I saw Fran Walsh was a script consultant.  I guess that's the beauty of watching films from a small country, there is bound to be some overlap.

Doom

Yeah, Karl with a big ass gun fucking shit up works for me.  I really liked him in this- it was a hell of a contrast from Milk.  He looked good and his acting with 'Samantha' was realistic and the best part of the movie.  Well, other than stuff blowing up it was really the only part of the movie, so they carried it well.  I also liked Rosamund Pike as his sister.  I thought she was quite believable, and it was fun to put more of a face to the actress who has been 'cast' as Nurse Chapel for the McChapel team on Ship Wars.  The Rock was fun to watch too, and I like his larger-than-life personality.  It was good to see the origin of all those Reaper!Bones fics, although I think I've only read, like, one of them.  Doom and Trek make an interesting crossover, one that I think actually works well.  Doom isn't the greatest movie ever made, but it was pretty good entertainment.

There you have it.  I have a class for half a day tomorrow, and then more studying.  And then reading and voting on the Jones fics.

Thanks, bb! I think I'll be alright. I'll watch it with my husband, but he doesn't get scared about this stuff, so I'm glad you appreciate my concern. He'll probably say "why do you want to watch it if it scares you?" Then I'll be all "uh, because it has a hot boy in it?" and he'll roll his eyes at me. :D

my appreciation of your husband grows XB

Lol, ok, I won't actually say the "hot boy" part, but I'll say it it has Chris Pine in it and that's just about the same thing, right? He knows I get... preoccupied with movies and actors I love. I think it mostly amuses him. I'm trying to get through all the Ship wars fics to vote, but I'm feeling a bit tired of fairy tales by now...

lol i figured. XB

uh I've not participated one iota in either battle post since we joined, so... don't feel too guilty...

Yeah, I've not been inspired to write as much as I hoped I would. I'm crap at writing for prompts because I have to feel really inspired about the idea to write it. And even though the prompts have all been really interesting and I've enjoyed reading fic for them, I've not been really inspired. I've enjoyed reading through some of the battle posts, they are a hoot, but still not feeling creative enough, or something, to do more than comment here and there. Eh, what can you do.
