Wasted Life...

[sisabet]

I just finished watching "Dare Devil" or "Daredevil" or whatever it is called. I am now in serious mourning for those two hours, as they are lost to me forever! I could have been doing something really important like matching socks or reading really bad B/J fanfic. Instead I watched that. And it really takes a lot for me to hate a superhero movie - especially one where the lead is a conflicted, morally ambiguous man in latex. I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt, swallow plot inconsistencies and even forgive silly effects and fight sequences. Just don't make me hate the dude in the costume, kay? Cause that is all I got. If he plays it right I will follow him to the ends of the Earth...but Ben Affleck? Did. Not. Pull. It. Off. How is he more famous than Gale Harold? Where is the justice in that? This world is not a fair place at all.

Also - if I did not already hate Evanescene or Evanescence or whatever that screechy band is called - this movie would have caused me to wish them all a slow and torturous death. You know what would have been better? If Jennifer Garner and Ben had replaced some of the hackneyed dialogue from the movie with the hackneyed lyrics from their 'vid to "Bring Me to Life". And that was not an exciting musical montage. This would have been better:

Jennifer: Wake me up!
Ben: I can't wake up!

Yep - I actually was kinda expecting them to do that and I was a bit disappointed when they didn't. Sorry if I've spoiled anyone for the movie. Wait - what did I spoil? Oh yeah - this movie contains crappy music on top of crappy acting, writing, production values and is just a general piece of shite. Sorry, but I am bitter. You knew this about me.

I was going to do that kita0610 meme thingy but then I bored myself. I gotta get a more exciting life. I kissed a boy this weekend - does that count? Everyone already knows what I think about the Buffy characters:

Buffy- Love her - was her season 6 but only in the really depressed part as I never died to save the world, came back and fucked an evil soulless vampire to feel again. Yet. Like her with Angel. Like her with Faith. B/F is just about the only femslash I read.

Spike: Like him a lot. Think he is a retarded vampire, but there are worse things. Turned out to be a really good guy. Don't buy Spuffy as OTP, but I can see the connection. I ship him with Xander and Angel. S/A is my eternal OTP, but S/X is my good for now OTP. Miss the red shirt.

Willow: Like her. Like her evil. Like her good. Like her straight. Like her gay. Actually not too worried about her sexual orientation, I'll take it as it is given. Pretty pro-Willow here. Except when she was hurting Giles in "Grave" and I was unspoiled and thought she was going to kill him. Then I was all "Bitch needs to die!!!" But other than that, very pro-Willow. Hell - in high school I was Willow to an extent, but who wasn't? I don't really ship her with anyone actively - Loved Oz and liked Tara when she wasn't being all doormatty. Actually I didn't dislike doormat Tara, but she frustrated me. Oh - I will ship Willow with both Spike and Angel together given the right circumstances.

Xander: Dear God I love him. Just know that. I'll read him with just about anyone but Andrew - I just don't get it. I think Andrew is adorable, but that pairing is just not hot. And it is wrong to put Xander in a lukewarm situation. Have I mentioned that I love him?

Giles: He de man. I have no ships for Giles and mores the pity. I am sorely wrong for that. I decided that his strange behavior after season 6 was motivated by his unspoken and unrealized fear that he would have to watch Buffy die again - or kill her himself to set the universe back to the natural order. This makes sense to me. It doesn't have to make sense to you.

Dawn: Realized at the end of The Gift that I wanted her to stick around. I loved her temper tantrums and "Get out, get out, get out"'s mainly because she was acting like a real bratty teen with problems. Made sense to me. No Dawn ships for me.

Angel: Do I really have to say anything? He is my ideal. I loved B/A when it was ongoing and it is still one of the only het ships that ever really just got to me. For Angel though I vacillitate between OTPs - on the one hand you have Angel/Spike and all the hot hot goodness. On the other hand you have Angel/Wes and pure true love. I mean - Wes is probably the only person that has ever truly loved Angel - who he really is. That gets to me. I plan on spending all of next year working through my conflict if you know what I mean and I think that you do, wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more. Oh - and Angel loves to be punished and Angel-torture is one of my bullet-proof kinks (TM I forget). The other is bath tub fic. Loves me some tub time.

Now I am tired and still just as boring and I want to be thinking more about Brian since I just spent 30 minutes thinking about the cast of Buffy only to conclude that I like them all. I could have been thinking about Brian instead.
