lokifanBlargh. I am ill. I’ve been feeling dodgy since Sunday, but I thought that was a hangover (excellent night at G-A-Y with son_of_darkness, marbletables, and dora_the_nymph, plus some hanging out with my friend Impish from uni who has visited Ho Chi Minh City and loved it). I am still all bleary and achey and watching Something Blue as comfort viewing. :(
I watched The Fantastic Four yesterday. I’ll steal a trick fromcopperbadge in giving my thoughts:
1. This is really not a good film at ALL. And I don’t know why; the cast is made up of actors with a good reputation and/or actors I’ve seen being good elsewhere. And it’s not like either Jessica Alba or Chris Evans is known for phoning it in for sci-fi. I guess it’s a combination of a truly dreadful script and the worst hair & contacts for Jessica Alba ever. EVER.
2. The Thing is actually an excellent disability metaphor, especially the way it’s portrayed. Wonder if it was deliberate - his Blind Hippie Girlfriend could be an argument either way.
3. It’s a shame this is so bad because everyone has powers that are ripe for kinky fanfic. Invisibility, flexibility and stretchiness, flame and flying, size, strength, and need for sexual healing - even Doom’s whole made-of-metal thing. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS.
3a. Seriously, Jessica Alba’s hair. WORST. EVER. I guess it’s cool that they cast a mixed-race actress for Sue, but at the cost of making a beautiful brunette horrifically blonde and creepily blue-eyed.
Never mind. I can focus on Buffy now. And her adorable 90s waves.
