(no subject)

I'm enjoying my Lazying Around icon so much! I don't need a subject when I have that *pets*

Spent the afternoon with one of the best friends yesterday and among other things we saw Little Miss Sunshine at Bercy Village - in Paris - and oh! What a gorgeous and sweet and so very funny film that was, wow! Can't wait for the DVD to come out because I need to watch it many times!

I'm debating going to see Le Parfum now because even though I loved the book when I read it - first year of high school, takes me back! - I really wonder how they dealt with it, considering it was all about smells, scents and odours.

Then today far niente - well, almost, but at least I got to do it inside the house. And I also found the time to do some not!tv watching, namely Numb3rs was watched and Robin Hood - new version - was discovered.

So okay Robin Hood? Didn't exactly make a strong impression. As in, I don't think I'll download the rest, though I know one should always give new shows a second chance and sometimes you do need a couple of episodes before being hooked but, well, sometimes you just don't feel like you want to bother, right? So I suppose I'll give it a miss. It's not as if I didn't have a ton of tv shows to follow already anyway *cough* In particular as I also downloaded the premiere of Dexter and you never know what might come out of that one.

Numb3rs made up for the RH mini fiasco though :-) Not the case itself but the Eppes moments. Twas odd seeing Alan and Charlie being at odds like that and having Don interfering between the two, and not just that but defending Charlie, being on his side - as opposed to immediately assuming he was being a brat and siding with Alan, know what I mean? It was nice seeing Don trust Charlie and wanting to just, let him live?

A little moment that I adored was during the end tag - when Charlie is playing Alan about the propane. You see Don looking up at him as if thinking something along the line of 'man, Charlie, you could do a little effort' and then when we realise Charlie was kidding and that he has, in fact, taken care of it, he's all happy and maybe a bit relieved because obviously Charlie is getting with the program. I loved the knee-slapping he does on Daddy!Eppes - twas really sweet *g*

I liked the discussion between Alan and Charlie about Charlie's life and I liked Charlie admitting that he worries sometimes about his life/future and liked even more his little speech about how he's trying to wrestle everything at the moment and how he's trying to figure it all out. He does have a lot on his plate - incidentally I loved that Don acknowledged it himself too a little bit before that scene.

But Charlie is still a bit of a brat, anyway; he cracked me up with his 'I knew that Dad living with me would drive us insane' little line because er Charlie? Hi! Haven't you been living with the guy pretty much all your life without any of you really becoming mad? So maybe the problem isn't that Alan is living with you but that you now have responsibilities you used not to? Just a thought. Still, he did show Daddy!Eppes that he'd heard him loud and clear and I liked that. Same thing with Alan listening to Charlie... See? Talking does bring results, even if it doesn't come easy for everyone :-)

I also loved Don in that episode - he seemed more subdued than usual, quieter and, I don't know, I liked all his interrogations and/or realisations. I thought it was so touching that he wanted to try and search for Anna/Hannah's lost relatives - and Alan's reaction to it was really beautiful too. I also always adore when Don comes to Charlie just to talk. Not about the case but about him, or about the family... and I quite enjoy how Charlie picks up on Don's need to talk, too.

Two little Random things:

  • So Don speaks a bit of French, uh? Nice :-) I couldn't help but notice that they'd made a mistake though. It's 'après-midi' not 'aprés-midi'. I know, might not sound like much but still, it's just not it's written, is all so I, uh, needed to point it out.

  • Megan's - and David's too considering the look they exchanged - trust in Charlie's abilities is always of the good.


Unrelated now - dude! I thought that the SPN Complete S1 box set R2 came out tomorrow but apparently it was last week omg! I can now get my pretties, hee!

I saw The Perfume a couple of weeks ago and liked it very much. I just read the book last year and wasn't sure how well it would work as a movie, but I think Tykwer did an excellent job with it.

Re: Robin Hood
Gave up after twenty minutes. I thought it was boring and some of the scenes (kissing WTF?) really annoyed me.

Re: Numb3rs
Did you understand what Don said in French? Cause I had to go back and listen to it again. But I just watched Northern Exposure where Rob Morrow says something in french, too, so it was funny to hear them comment on that in Numb3rs.

You're not the first person who liked the adaptation... I might eventually allowed myself to be convinced to go *g*

Yeah talk about a disappointment... Robin Hood should never be disappointment material, but alas, they did it *pout*

I'll admit I didn't really understand he was speaking French at first lol And when David mentioned it, I was like, oh yeah that was French! *facepalm*

I'm debating going to see Le Parfum
Yeah, same for me, but have you seen the hero?! he's gorgeous! and after all, you don't actually smell the scents when reading the book... *g*

I went to the movies this morning and I was really hesitating between Little Miss Sunshine and Transylvania... well, maybe next time.

Slow morning at work

and after all, you don't actually smell the scents when reading the book... *g*

Well you do in a way, what with the wonderfully detailed descriptions... it's as if you could smell the scents thanks to the words, which I can't really see in a film. But I think I might give it a chance, anyway, as several people told me they enjoyed it even though they were, like, not that keen on watching it at first. I'll see *g*

Oh yeah, you have to see Little Miss Sunshine, it's a little gem ;-)

I liked Charlie admitting that he worries sometimes about his life/future

That speech broke me into tiny little pieces. I just...Charlie! He can be such a brat but then he shows us this side of him and I just want to wrap him up and feed him soup.

And the scene with Alan saying "When I was your age I had a wife and two children etc." and Charlie is all "And did you have any murders to solve?" makes me wibble like a wibbly thing. Oh, Charlie. ♥

Megan's - and David's too considering the look they exchanged - trust in Charlie's abilities is always of the good.

Yes, yes it is.

Ah, how much do I love a slow morning at work when I can cruise lj *beams* It hasn't happened in a long time, I'm SO going to take advantage of it lol

Yeah, Charlie is a brat, except when he isn't, and I love both sides of him *g*

When I was your age I had a wife and two children etc." and Charlie is all "And did you have any murders to solve?" makes me wibble like a wibbly thing. Oh, Charlie

Hee yes, I loved that exchange, yes!

You stole my brain again! Or I stole yours. Either way, the mojo is flowing, baby! *g*

~Don defending Charlie: Yes! I see much growth in Don with this ep, wrt how he deals with/reacts to Charlie.

~Teasing Alan: Yes! Loved Charlie's, "I'm kidding" and Don's laugh as he slaps Alan's leg. ♥

~Alan and Charlie talking: Muh. Oh, guys. *pets*

~Charlie complaining that living with his dad is making him insane: OMG, yes! What a little turd, lol. The insanity only started when you became the responsible one. Or should I say, the one who's supposed to be responsible. *g*

I enjoyed this ep a lot! Kinda low-key, compared to the first two, but we got lots of Eppes family moments and wonderful backstory moments and I just love that stuff!

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2006-10-11 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
Lol We're so N3 twins! Hail to our flowing mojo *g*

1. Yeap, it was nice seeing Don siding with Charlie. It's like he's been changing his view on his brother a bit and it's lovely.

2. Loved that moment; as I do pretty much every single Eppes tag end moments... they're absolutely gorgeous, all of them.

4. Lol He's such a brat, isn't he? Dude, yeah, responsibilities aren't always fun... that's a good lesson to learn!

I don't mind low-keys when we have those lovely Eppes family moments... that's why I'm into the show, after all, right? The gorgeousness that is the Eppes family :-)

J'ai adoré cet épisode, c'est clair que Don est adorable dans celui là, et très impliqué émotionnellement.
J'ai aussi trippé quand il a pris la défense de Charlie, c'est pas la première fois qu'il dit à Alan que ce n'est plus un gamin.
Alan veut que Charlie prenne ses responsabilités, mais il est parfois le premier à "pouponner" baby Eppes (Don lui a déjà fait la remarque plus d'une fois). Enfin, on comprend son inquiétude, et Charlie qui s'en inquiète aussi, c'est touchant.
J'aime beaucoup la scène ou Don demande à Charlie pourquoi ils n'ont jamais été très religieux et que Charlie lui dis que leur mère leur faisait un sapin de noël (ça m'a rappelé un drabble que j'ai fais).
*love*

Tu vas apprécié le coffret SPN^^ moi j'attends maintenant la saison 2 de Numb3rs qui vient d'être expédié *happy*

Un truc qui n'a rien à voir, je lis les fics threesome Don/Charlie/Coop OMG, moi qui pensait ne pas être accroc des threesomes, ben j'ai changé d'avis^^. Tu aurais de bonnes fics, Don/Charlie/Ian à me conseiller?

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2006-10-11 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yeap, déjà dans "Sniper Zero" on avait eu une scène similaire avec Don disant à Alan que Charlie n'était plus un petit garçon; apparemment, le concept est un peu difficile à assimiler pour notre papa adoré, mais bon, on le comprend; quand on est papa, on peut pas forcément s'en empêcher :-)

Je pense que je vais attendre encore un peu pour le coffret; je surveille un peu mes finances en ce moment. Mais je l'aurais dans pas trop longtemps, de toute façon. J'ai attendu jusque là, je peux bien attendre encore un peu...

Là tout de suite - j'ai pas trop de recs à l'esprit. J'ai quelques Ian/Charlie dans mes 'memories' normalement mais pour le threesome, je sèche, désolée...

[identity profile] nicelyobsessed.livejournal.com 2006-10-16 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"je surveille un peu mes finances en ce moment"
Oh my, je devrais faire pareil...

Pour les fics Ian/Charlie, j'ai lu celles dans tes souvenirs (merci du tuyau!). Y en a une OMG, celle qui se passe juste après Sniper Zero, Ian débarque chez Charlie (qui évidemment lui ouvre avec seulement un peignoir sur le dos (si en plus il lui tend la perche, sans faire de vilain jeu de mot...).

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2006-10-16 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my, je devrais faire pareil...

Je t'avouerais que c'est plus facile à dire qu'à faire; là je crève d'envie de m'achter les deux romans qui dont donné lieu à la série Dexter. Je crains fort de ne pas pouvoir résister longtemps *sigh*

Et je t'en prie pour le tuyau, bien contente que tu aies trouvé ton bonheur. J'ai une autre fic à te recommander d'ailleurs, si tu la connais pas: en fait c'est une epic toujours en progrès et c'est hot et sensuel comme c'est pas permis ! Ian/Charlie, donc, toujours. Vas voir du côté de [livejournal.com profile] the_solarium, c'est un vrai bonheur :-)

Je vais mettre à dl dexter, j'en entend que du bien (même si le générique est superbe estétiquement, mais eurk à la fois!).

Je te remercie pour le pimp de la commu, j'y ai adhérer, c'est plus simple. Je la connaissais pas celle là (faut dire que j'ai pas eu le temps d'explorer toutes les commus encore).

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2006-10-18 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Moi j'aimerais bien que tout le monde regarde Dexter même si je sais bien que la série n'est vraiment pas faite pour tout le monde. Et tiens, en parlant de Dexter, j'ai pas pu résister aujourd'hui, je me suis acheté l'un des deux bouquins dont la série est tirée. J'en salive d'avance *g*

[identity profile] nicelyobsessed.livejournal.com 2006-10-18 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Si j'accroche à la série, je me prendrais sûrement les livres! En plus ça tombe bien je cherchais un bouquin à m'acheter pour lire dans le bus le matin^^

Sinon as-tu vu la new vid Numb3rs "save the last dance for me" faite par [livejournal.com profile] iscaris ? J'adore!

I saw Little Miss Sunshine a few weeks ago and it easily stands out as one of the best movies of the summer. I adored it in so many ways.

Robin Hood seems to have provoked many meh comments. I must admit, I felt the same, it didn't grab me, and I expected it to from the trailers I've seen. I'll keep watching for now though, I mean, it's right there on my tv *g*

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2006-10-11 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
Little Miss Sunshine is a little gem. I loved it beyond words and can't wait to have it at home so that I can watch over and over again, it'll be a new comfort movie, methinks.

Yeap, from what I gathered, RH didn't exactly impress its viewers... it's weird because when I was watching it, I kept thinking that a lot of the scenes, many of the dialogues, the way the characters acted - all that was the kind of things I'd have expected in an American show - no offense meant - and not in a British one. Many things seems pretty stereotypical, and not necessarily the good kind, either?
