Playing Ship's Mast

[redbrunja]

Today, I saw Planet Terror and Death Proof the way they should be seen - on a rainy afternoon with popcorn and friends who will tell you when to hide your eyes. (Seriously, during the end of Death Proof, I was curled on the couch with my fingers crossed and my hands near my face. And now I kinda want to watch Vanishing Point).

Also, I'm caught up on True Blood. Frankly, there was a lot of the last two episodes the either I didn't like or that bored me, so I'm just going to talk about what I loved, which was Tommy flirting with Jessica and the Hoyt/Jessica hookup. Both of which I can sum up in three words: it was hot.

Yeah, I feel like Death Proof was two takes of the same movie, in some ways. You have the misogynistic version and then the feminist version.

Any given episode of True Blood is usually pretty rocky for me, but yeah, these last two episode in particular where blah. (And I fast-forward everything with Jason in it, so I have no idea how much Crystal relates to the over all blahs).

Pam and Eric remain awesome!

I've kind of liked Crystal the last episodes, actually. (I haven't seen the most recent one.) She's kind of fucked up, and she's grown up in a fucked up environment, deeply entrenched there, but she toughs it out in an interesting way, trying to back away from it until a catalyst dumps her right back in the middle. And she gives Jason an awesome verbal bitchslap. (I mean, keep in mind that I mostly fastforward through Jason's (and therefore her) scenes too, but I was listening to it while doing something else, and I pulled it up in time to see her knock him on his ass, which was cool.)

*nods* You know, in a different show (or if she wasn't constantly interacting with Jason) I think I'd really like Crystal. (Especially given something she does in the latest episode.)
