Red vines. What the hell can't they do?

I. I've been pretty bad at commenting lately, sorry. I've not been on Lj much, so I tend to scroll through my flist and only comment on the big posts with lots of pictures :S I'll try to improve that ;)

II. MERLIN :D Omg, how adorable is this cast :o And I think watching the trailer is the first time I've actually been genuinely excited about season three. It looks like it might be really good:D

III. I've seen A Very Potter Sequel and it is great, if a little too long. So if you haven't yet, you really should go and watch it! (unless you haven't seen the first one yet, in which case WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN, go to youtube and watch right now ;) ).

IV. Seen Sherlock. And it has led me to a startling revelation:
I love Steven Moffat's writing. I don't love Steven Moffat as a person, and in the context of Doctor Who his episodes aren't always my favourites (especially in S5), but out of this context where saying I like Moffat feels like saying I hate RTD (which I could never say because I love RTD), I love it. He is very very good. The way he writes dialogue and humour is amazing, and probably the best I know. I loved every minute of Sherlock; the actors were great, it was funny and witty, it didn't insult our intelligence. It managed to keep the feel of the original even while being set in the modern day. I am ridiculously excited about the next episodes and so sad there are only three.
So there it is. I am officially a big fan of Steven Moffat's writing. I'm really not sure where I fit in DW fandom now :P


V. Harry Potter meme:

Day 16: Favorite professor?

Well, Remus Lupin of course. His classes are awesome and so is he. And McGonagall is pretty awesome as well:D

Day 17: Are you excited about The Deathly Hallows movie or scared it won’t do the book justice?

Well, I know it won't do the book justice for me. But this is the first time I'm actually kind of excited about the movie. I've still not seen HBP but I really so want to, and the trailer for DH looks good.

Steven Moffat > World
XD just to give my opinion about the matter. LOL.
he's such a fanboy <3

XD I wouldn't go that far. But I'm happy to finally be able to separate how I feel about the guy from how I feel about his writing!

I. I wondered where you went :)

II. MERLIN OWNS MY SOUL. I already was excited about the next season, but yay for the epic trailer of epicness!

III. Ayayay. I still haven't seen either of those :O

IV. SHERLOCK! LOVE IT! The dialogues and pretty much everything else was awesome. ... What is it then that you don't like about The Moff as a person?

[muneca-brava.livejournal.com]

I. I'm back! And I've downloaded Transamerica so I fully intend to come discuss it on Sunday!

You really really should.

IV. Ah, Moffat. I think he comes of as arrogant in a lot of interviews, and he has made some pretty sexist comments. But tbh, it's also largely because the corner of DW fandom I tend to hang out in is pretty anti-Moffat (because of these sexist comments, mainly). But I did always know he was a good writer, and now I just don't care that much anymore, as long as he keeps making things like Sherlock because that was SO GOOD.

I. Yay! You can still discuss B&C if you feel like it (a lot of people are already behind so there's been little participation).

III. Hahahaaa. I will some day.

IV That just shows how much I'm NOT in the Who fandom anymore because a) I don't know about any sexist comments and b) I don't think I have even read one Moffat interview since he took over the show :O

[muneca-brava.livejournal.com]

I. Might do that later. I haven't rewatched B&C, but I did see it twice already so I know enough about it XD

III. :D It's very good. Especially the first one.

IV. You're probably better off not knowing anyway. And I do tend to avoid interviews now, so his comments don't influence how I see the episodes.

[iluvmusicals.livejournal.com]

That's exactly how I feel. I can't stand Moffat as a person. He's a pig. But I love his writing.

[muneca-brava.livejournal.com]

I don't think his personal opinions, no matter how annoying and offensive, are really reflected in his writing. So if I just ignore everything the man says I should be fine ;)

[muneca-brava.livejournal.com]

Clearly, so do I. :)
