TV and a movie
Parks and Recreation First off, I wrote a blurb for why I love Leslie Knope/Ben Wyatt and made ten fanfic recs.
Episode 4.13 had pretty much everything I could want: Ron Swanson being manly and resenting Tom's bowling success, Tom's hurt "fingy" (a casualty of Ron's jealousy), April fighting apathy in a desire to be mean (and then totally failing at following through because SHE HAS FEELINGS, SHE'S A REAL GIRL AFTER ALL!), Ben Wyatt punching a dude...
Okay, there has to be a gif somewhere of Ben punching that guy right? Because that was HILARIOUS! (Please link me to a gif of that. I waaaaaant one. Also, I hurt my fingy, y'all should be extra-nice to me. Okay, I didn't really hurt my finger.)
Oh, Leslie... heeee.
Once Upon a Time Tell me when I should start watching again, 'kay? I didn't make it through the episode.
Fringe "Forced Perspective" had a nicely enjoyable case of the week. Aside from her weird resemblance to Moaning Myrtle, I really liked the actress playing the teenager with visions of death. Her family was lovely as well. And Olivia had some compelling interactions with Nina, which SCARED ME SOOOO MUCH, ACK. Nina Sharpe is one of the most interesting characters on TV right now; I wouldn't want to meet her, though. EVER. Or for her to know my name or ANYTHING.
I enjoyed the case enough that I actually forgot until the episode was over that HEY, WAIT A MINUTE, WHY ARE WE NOT GETTING MY OLIVIA BACK YET?! (But then I remembered. Hence the all-caps. Original Olivia: accept no substitutions!)
Oh, hey, I saw a movie this weekend! The Artist is that black-and-white (mostly) silent movie that's been nominated for an Oscar. It is thoroughly charming, well plotted, and I found the character performances to be fascinating. Jean Dujardin deserves ALL the accolades, as does Bérénice Bejo. And the dog. I like how the movie worked as an homage to the old silent movies, and yet still had a story to tell of its own: a love story about passion for artistry.
Hah, PG-13 because someone flipped someone else the bird?! Oh, wait, maybe for that one bit near the end.
