things i've watched(/read) in the last couple months
Belated & abbreviated watchblog!
1. Snow White and the Huntsman. Dear internets, I was forewarned, and it still made even less sense than I was expecting! Totally agree withoyceter that there are about four logical movies that could have been made out of it (two of which I would actually have enjoyed watching). I should have listened to you all and not paid to see it in the theater, but at least I didn't pay full price?
2. Korra. I... keep trying and failing at coherence, but in the meantime, my general reaction:
3. The Dark Knight Rises. I watched this post-dance-class, not for full price, and with my brain half off, which may have contributed to my enjoyment of the movie in addition to my complete lack of knowledge of comics-verse. Character-wise, I was predictably bored and unimpressed by Batman and his manpain-y manpain, but I adored Selina Kyle (who should obviously have been the protagonist of the movie) and Alfred and also quite enjoyed JGL. The villain came across a bit flat for me, though. Theme-wise, the Occupy Wall Street/99% stuff made no sense, but then again, I don't think the makers quite knew what they even wanted to say about it anyway, let alone what they were actually saying. There are a lot of other things that made no sense (and I would certainly be interested in seeing critique if anyone's written or come across it!), but it was the first superhero movie I've come out more or less satisfied seeing in a while.
4. Kuroko no Basuke, for which I blameinkstone! ♥ I seriously inhaled all of the manga and anime in a day. I don't even know where to begin talking about it and also am in a state of total A:JKS:DLFHSDL:F *\o/*!!!!!!, but if you enjoy sports series and/or are a sucker for all things team like me, I recommend checking it out! Also: endless eye candy, even though there aren't a lot of female characters. >.> inkstone's promo post has video clips.
