I basically have three friends that I talk to on AIM every day. Recently, two of them talked about continuously reloading the Dr. Horrible page hoping that a new installment would arrive, because it was SO GOOD! Then I went over Yang's house on Saturday---he's the third one, and he put it on his gigantic computer monitor for us to watch.
One of my favorite fantasies is running away with the villain, beating up the hero, fixing the world, and growing old with my villain, three cats that he actually kind of likes, too, and living in a hideout with weird villain decorations. Or we would die young and beautifully and make the hero feel really guilty, anyway, gee, it started out looking like maybe the girl would fall for Dr. Horrible and I would have my fantasy. But the very moment the "hero" appeared, I knew it was going to turn into one of those things where they make the girl choose between two assholes. Clear as a bell, I thought, "She needs to dump both these fuckers and get a real boyfriend."
Both men are idiots, it's just that Dr. Horrible is covertly an idiot. Did anyone notice him dismissing the girl's own attempts to save the world, so he could steal a rare mineral and freeze her so they could dance in the laundromat? Yeah. Did anyone notice him trying to get the girl to change her mind, with very unattractive acts of force and cruelty, no less? Yeah. Did she even have a name? Oh, excuse me for not noticing, I know I'm sexist. She was boring, nurturing, kind, good---even she gave me nothing to hang on to and enjoy. Then she died, still boring and kinda dumb, to change Dr. Horrible. She died to change a man.
That's how I took it. Sorry.
Yang and I also watched Advent Children. I had never seen it before. I am a bad fan, and also I was afraid it would be too bittersweet, darnit I hate that stuff. It wasn't sad! It was fun! Pretty! Also more than a little senseless. Pretty! Unfortunately I when the movie ended I was not entirely sure that Tifa and Cloud were going to get together. I played Final Fantasy 10, okay? I wanted Tifa to jump in the pool and stick her tongue in Cloud's mouth, too, but she didn't! I say that this is unfortunate because I now find it even easier to pair Cloud and Sephiroth, or Tifa and Aeris. Rufus and the Turks (which should be a band name if it isn't already) were far and away the best part of the movie.Reno is the bitch
I spent the weekend at the country estate. This morning I was awake enough to go down to the brook, sit on a rock, stick my feet in the water, and take videos of the sunshine coming through the trees. The air was just the right temperature, and even without bug repellent I only got one bug bite. Wow, cool, man!

AC is great if you take it as what it is, a ridiculous story with awesome graphics and your favorite characters blowing stuff up. And yes, the Turks steal every scene they're in. :D

As for Firefly--yeah, Inara. On the one hand, she's badass and beautiful, but then, that's what we have Zoe for. On the other, she's essentially just glamorizing prostitution. And then there were all those "defending her honor" scenes that annoyed me because guys, she IS a whore, no matter how nicely you put it. I don't know, I kind of ignored her.
...Ahaha, AIM...seriously, it's gotten to the point where I don't even know how to use it anymore. I'm a bad person. ._.
