PSA

If you're going to see Splice, don't be surprised when it turns out to be a hardcore horror movie, and a triggery one at that. Go and check out seperis or mashimero's journals for further warnings.

I wasn't going to go see it anyway, based on Roger Ebert's review, where he was all, "Oh, it was great, but the third act was so predictable." Well, the third act is TOTALLY NOT AT ALL WHAT I WOULD HAVE PREDICTED, apparently, and I'm def. not seeing it now, cause I just don't need that in my life.

I'm so torn, because Vincenzo Natali is making the new Neuromancer movie, and I want it to be good so badly. And I wanted Splice to do well so Neuromancer would have a better shot at actually happening, but dude, not if this is the trade-off.

(Happier post later. I didn't want to combine them, y'know?)

Mmm, tea.

1. Moving from movies that are bad and should feel bad to movies that are great: I watched Rope again last night with Mom, since she'd never seen it. God, I forgot how much I am in love with that movie. It is my very favorite. Such an elaborately constructed, quiet thriller, and I'd forgotten how funny it is too, and how forward it was for the time. A homosexual relationship (while never directly stated, because of the Hays Code) that's never played for laughs! A romantic subplot that resolves itself by the participants acting like rational adults! Tension of every variety! Jimmy Stewart! John Dall (UNF)!

And I finally found the second director cameo!

I just want more fic. It would please me in the darkest reaches of my little black soul.

2. McShep Match:

x / n words. 60% done!

I am making strides! I'm still not sure if I like it, though. I'm pretty well entrenched in [idea A], but [idea B] still calls to me, and I'm not sure I can make [idea A] work out the way I want. I've decided, though, that if it's not done by the time I leave for Guatemala (NEXT FRIDAY OH GOD IN HEAVEN), I'm dropping out. I just can't guarantee when and what and how I'll have internet access, and I need to give as much warning as possible for any theoretical replacement of mine. I do hope I can finish, though.

3. I am so very close to finishing a line for kink_bingo! And I suspect that the story I am working on will make certain of you very happy. ;D It's like refrigerator soup- I just threw in everything I felt like reading at the time, and it came out pretty delicious, if I do say so myself. I have about a thousand words of it, and it's just burning up my brain, but Mom's been here all weekend, which puts a big damper on writing porn, y'know?

3a. I was supposed to be finishing my incomplete classes this month. Lol. Well, we all see how that worked out.

Fifth square!
