potentiality_26I wanted to post something, but I've been having a tough time figuring out what. I watched my shows, but I'm still making my peace with Agents of SHIELD and all I really have to say is that I think that if I keep watching it will be to catch Forever after it's over. Forever, don't ever change. At this point, the only thing I don't love about that show is the misleading promos ABC does for each episode. They're all "OMG tension" and "what secrets will be revealed" and envariably the episode is nothing like the promos. I wonder if the people who make them realize that everyone that is still watching Forever isn't in it for high drama, they're in it for a gentle, slightly goofy show with an adorable leading man. And now there's Burn Gorman! Speaking of whom-
can he really do that voice? Wow. He was hidden skills, people. Hidden skills.
And I've been watching OUAT promos and not even recognizing that show anymore. Are they really, truly, and without irony bringing in Cruella Deville? Lord.
And I've seen some movies lately and not really liked them. While I still have some old favorites, I guess movies don't really do it for me anymore. I watch too much TV. On the one hand, movies are too long. My brain has trained itself to expect a situation to be resolved in 45 minutes to an hour. On the other, they're too short. I like to have episodes and episodes to get to know characters, and a couple of hours is no longer sufficient to become attached.
I do have one comment from Begin Again, which I saw half of on an airplane a couple of weeks ago and the rest of the other night. There's this bit where Mark Ruffalo wants to listen to the music on Keira Knightley's phone and she's all making excuses and "oh, lots of guilty pleasure songs on there" and the songs that she actually plays? "As Time Goes By" and the like? Whoever selected those had absolutely no notion of constitutes a guilty pleasure song.
