I. I'm rewatching Luther for the third time right now, and you probably don't know this about me but this is a big deal. I don't generally rewatch episodes at all. Sometimes when something is really good I'll watch it again the next day and sometimes I rewatch my favourite episodes but not a lot. I don't think there's any episode of anything I've seen more than 4 or 5 times, and those are very rare. It's the same with movies, really, but there are more exceptions there (I think I've seen Moulin Rouge 20 times or so).
I do rewatch scenes a lot though. The record is probably joint between the reunion in The Stolen Earth (one of these days that Dalek won't appear!) and that one scene in the Life on Mars finale. You know the one.

All this to say, the things I do for Ruth Wilson's face and Idris Elba's voice are getting ridiculous.
I've talked about this show on Tumblr before, but not on Lj - despite the fact that I changed my default icon to the cutest psycho on tv ages ago. Basically, I have a complicated relationship with ir, because I don't even like the plots in this show! And Alice is in like one scene in most episodes. But I'm still rewatching the whole thing! So I guess this is also me telling you to go and watch this show. It's cop drama but if you watch selectively, like I do, it's about good vs evil and grey morality and sociopaths in love. :D Only 10 episodes so it's worth it.

II. In sort-of related news, I bought the Being Human boxset with all three seasons for 21 € on Play.com - they even deliver for free in Belgium! So I'll be rewatching that, probably.

III. The Vampire Diaries this week was all about how pretty the cast is and how everyone has chemistry with everyone, right? All it missed was Katherine, but I say that every week.

IV. Leave me a character and I'll tell you my top 3 ships for them.

I. I'm really enjoying my classes this year. I only have four, three hours each, and three of those are film classes. So my homework mainly consists of "watch as many movies as you can". I don't have as many problems with those kinds of assignments :)


I actually have a QUESTION FOR LOVERS OF CLASSIC HOLLYWOODCINEMA!! ! I know there are some of those on my flist!
My thesis is going to be on the theme of the hysterical/paranoid woman in 1940's Hollywood. I am looking for any titles you can think of of movies made in the forties (or even thirties or fifties would be okay) with a woman character who goes (somewhat) insane. Gothic melodrama, genre Rebecca, Secret Beyond the Door, Suspicion, Gaslight etc. is the most common. So any wife who thinks her husband is trying to kill her, who is haunted by her predecessor, who hallucinates, etc.
Thanks!


II.So last week, I was bored and wanted to watch something. I could have chosen the next episode of Six Feet Under (I'm in S4), pick up The West Wing again etc. Instead, I decided I wanted something cheesy and entertaining and decided to give The Vampire Diaries a try.
We're about a week and a half later and I'm almost done with season 2.
I don't LOVE the show like I love some others - in fact there are times I hate it - but I just can't. stop. watching.

Some reactions so far:
Possible spoilers up to 2x17 )
So, anyone want to talk to me about this show?
