Dec. 12th, 2010 06:23 pm- I hope Matt Baker goes through to the final in tonight's Strictly results. I hope so greatly.
- I watched about half of the first session of the Higgins/Williams match today on the snooker, then I gave my dad the remote and he found a rather beautiful film about Robert Mitchum being a marine on an island with a nun. TV has been quite good today. Hopefully it will continue with the Strictly results. I can't believe Scott. And I'm kind of much less fond of Natalie, since she's started going all weird and emotional all the time. And talking about how Scott is the best partner she's ever danced with, when Ricky Whittle got her to the final last year. Whatever, Natalie.
- I'm spending a lot of my time nowadays still going on Digital Spy most days, in the vague hope that they will, for some reason, mention Lyndon Ogbourne and Nathan Wylde, in a positive way, through some chance. I am a sad picture of fannishness just at the moment.
- Coronation Street happened this week, the tram week happened, and the live episode happened, and it was all kind of amazing. A part of me thinks they put too many storylines into the one night/week, and it was all just a massive coincidence - on the same night, there was Peter's stag party, Molly leaving Tyrone, Becky's sister coming back to take Max briefly and demand more money, John killing Charlotte, a gas explosion that then caused a tram crash, and an accident on a nearby motorway that meant they couldn't get as many ambulances and fire engines to the disaster as they would normally be able to. And the accident somehow knocked a lot of the mobile phones out. But it is the anniversary week I suppose. But it was great, especially the live episode, and David, oh God David. After having Nick not involved at all in David's recent charged-with-attempted-murder/epilepsy storyline because he was involved in the affair-with-Leanne storyline, when Nick was trapped in the Joinery David ran up and joined the dangerous attempt to clear the rubble to try to get him and the others out, and when Nick was brought out he ducked under a police cordon and raced across the cobbles to him. I just love how even though David is often properly awful, and does genuinely awful things, sometimes they have him just be really, genuinely lovely. OH AND THEN HE HUGGED NICK IN THE HOSPITAL. It was beautiful.
A lot of it was sad though, and we're meant to be expecting another death - I don't think that's a spoiler since ITV have been using the tagline 'Four Funerals and A Wedding' all week, and I don't even know for sure. However, it's become unfortunately comedic since I realised that apart from one, all the people who seem like they might die next week all rhyme - I think it's either Keiran, or Rita, Peter, or Sunita. Hmm. Although it may be none of those four - some people are wondering if they might find someone when they clear the rubble, or if the man trapped in the car that the fire officers mentioned last week might turn out to be someone from the street. We'll just have to wait and see. - Also I watched The Event. ( Read more... )
- And I went to see two films. I saw the Warrior's Way, which is mostly like a cross between a martial arts film and the Lemony Snicket film, with the effects from Ninja Assassin. And, mysteriously, bills the Asian lead below all the three of the other white main cast members, including the villain who isn't really in it for that long. Okay. And I saw the new Narnia film. Oh Edmund. Oh. Mostly I liked the inclusion of ( Spoiler, although not if you've seen the tv adverts I'd guess ) and the fairly strong 'Let's go look for clues. And make out' vibes between Edmund and Caspian. But it was also a very good film overall, I think. Which was nice.
