celebrating the talent of robert downey jr

I'm not watching Doctor Who until tomorrow evening after work. Spoil me and you're dead.

Spent last night and today with Rebecca (she made me challah french toast for Xmas brekky), and Courtney joined us this afternoon for Sherlock Holmes. It was EPIC. Apart from the glaring location issues. I can't even. Just. I'm letting it go.

Because, really, the movie was delicious. So very gay. So very sexy. So very hilarious. And the CGI blended so very seamlessly with the real life shots of London (and Liverpool) that I can forgive the fact they ran through the sewers from the Houses of Parliament to Tower Bridge in only a few minutes. I can. Letting go. Anyway, I absolutely adored the movie and I might go see it again, as well as get the soundtrack. Hans Zimmer is a genius.

Best line? Watson to Holmes: "You look gorgeous."

Also epic: Courtney and I were the only ones gigglesnorting at the tongue-in-cheek cheeky Britishisms. Oh, America. You miss so much. *pets gently*

We saw a trailer for Iron Man 2. The Robert Downey Jr love is flying today so I'm about to put on Iron Man 1 and watch that whilst I finish my faux-butter popcorn. Oh, and we also saw a trailer for Clash of the Titans which I may have to see, and for Cop Out with Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan, which I will also have to see.

And as my Christmas gift Rebecca gave me a beautiful Tiffany link silver bracelet, just like hers. So we are now bracelet buddies from the Liberace House Of Crap. ♥

Archive of Our Own is down, but here's my first set of Yuletide recs:

So that I can close tabs and also mark which ones to leave feedback on, as the comment tab hasn't been working at all for me.

Pern

This year brought a bumper crop of Pern fics, interestingly a lot of femmeslash between Mirrim and Menolly. And Stinging As a Well-Aimed Dart is one of those, from Mirrim's perspective. There's a lovely bit on Pernese girls playing Mirrim-fights-Thread games and of course, a firelizard flight to provide the Pern universe's version of Pon Farr. The author does a lovely job balancing the fanon tendency to make the dragons sassier, while still making Path sound as Pernese dragons should do.

I also really enjoyed The Ballad of Mirrim and Menolly's Ride, which is not femmeslash but rather an adventure fic in which the two girls fight an unexpected Threadfall, and Path keeps accidentally betweening them to worse and worse alternate universes in an attempt to warn Pern. The idea that you can between to an alternate universe is one I haven't seen done before and the author chose some really interesting ones to explore.

Perspective is a short fic which peers into Pern's very far future. I enjoyed this one because the author obviously has the same problem with the dragons as I do.

Fifty Years After the Fair is a story of Benden Weyr in the First Pass - a time period with interesting characters established by Anne McCaffery but sort of forgotten and/or ruined by her son's continual attempts to inherit the franchise. This one I feel is a very Pern story, compressed for Yuletide: it's generational, following the children and granchildren of one of the background goldriders. And it also features some unusual plot twists - family resentments over who Impresses and what color, abrupt deaths due to Thread and other maladies, basically things which should occur more often in the series but do not.

His Dark Materials

like gold to ayery thinnesse beate I enjoyed very much and I was surprised by that - I very rarely enjoy Will/Lyra reunion fics because most of them are silly tosh. But this one is quite clever in that it features adult Will and Lyra, both of whom have had interesting careers. And I quite like the indomitable spunk in which an adult Lyra, having suddenly arrived on our Earth, set about to finding Will again. The author revels in the little details which make up the massive change between going from a mid-Edwardian universe, to ours with google and airports and national ID cards. There are two sequels for your instant gratification as well.

By far my favorite though, and possibly going to be my favorite of the year, was Dinosaurs in the Architecture. The main character is a young woman with a paleontologist father, whose daemon has inadvertently settled as a dinosaur. In a world where the Church has forced Darwin into exile, this spells problems for our heroine. I adore this, as I adore all long looks at Lyra's world and the concept of having your soul on the outside. If I didn't know better I would think I knew the author for this. Dinosaurs! Angels! Quasi-Victorian Steampunk Adventure!

Young Wizards

But Rather Darkness Visible, the one that Aria got, is a crossover between Doctor Who and Young Wizards... which is actually canon for that universe! (No, really. These two characters have in canon met.) In this one, Dairine is tasked with having a friendly chat with Ten post-Waters on Mars. It's quite lovely and smooshes the two canons together effortlessly. What I wouldn't give to see the Tenth Doctor greet a wizard-on-errantry with "Dai stiho" onna telly.

I also liked and the city stood in its brightness for the lovely vignettes, and the errand Dairine is sent to run is the Wizardry series at its best: cutting edge science fiction.

Finally, I really really enjoyed A Matter of Choice in which Dairine notices something off with her Twilight-obsessed schoolmate and enlists Ronan's help in a brief battle for her soul. But not in the way that you would think! Twilight is surprisingly not bashed in this story as silly, but rather something bittersweet. It broke my heart, a little.

Help with currents and blockquote!

Okay I don't know why and I've been messing the layout as it is, but the currents 'location, music & mood' are not in order.

Screenshot: Here

And I want to put a background when I use blockquote but transparent enough so that the text can be seen.

(no subject)

My mother went to church. She was terribly disappointed to learn I am no more a believer today than I was last month.

Instead, I found myself watching this video a couple dozen times. Amazing. The part where it zooms out to map all the known galaxies and there are those big black patches? Blows your mind.

merry christmassy time!

Christmas Eve... WELL SPENT.

As i'm home alone all Christmas and have nothing else to do but eat honeycomb icecream and lie in bed, I decided to spend Christmas Eve being productive and paying homage to the sheer hotness that is Olde Times True Love.

logical deductions as to why sir leon is alive and kicking

In the finale, when Merlin and Arthur and the 12 epic Knights rode out to meet the dragon, there was a bit of a mess and a lot of them got roasted in the Dragon's angry fire breath. Coupled with the hero walk back into the castle courtyard of just Arthur and Merlin, this made me panic and basically LOSE MY SHIT over the fact that Sir Leon was dead.

However, I don't believe this to be true now, which is a serious weight off my mind. Proof as follows:

1. From a fan visit to Pierrefonds, we know they wrapped France around September 18th. They went back to Wales until early-mid Oct when filming was complete.
2. We know it was all complete then because Bradley mentioned it in his and Colin's Paul O'Grady interview.
3. In the commentary for 201, Colin & Bradley mention completing filming earlier that week.
4. There are a few mentions in the S1 commentaries about how they were all recorded around the same time in studio.
5. Angel & Anthony's commentary on 202 mentions the epic, massive, mind-blowing love that everyone in the cast has for Rupert Young and how they all called TPTB after S1 and asked for him to come back, and how that if there will be a round table, they need Knights who can't keep dying (which had been happening a lot in S1).
6. Six knights rode off and got flambed. There are six knights on the ground (represented by the ? as any one of these could be Leon) - some off camera, some behind the Dragon - and Arthur and Merlin are standing.

Proof in this pic (click to embiggen):

Therefore:

a) Filming was completed in France (and therefore everyone knew the outcome of everyone's fate from scripts) in mid September.
b) All the commentaries were recorded around the same time in mid October (if following S1 format), right at the end of final filming.
c) Everyone loves Rupert (and Sir Leon) and had he not been safe at the end, I doubt Angel and Anthony would have waxed lyrical on his awesomeness and how he needed to stick around.
d) Finally, it's blatantly obvious not all the Knights fried (despite a bit of continuity issues on the location of the human and pony bodies passed out in the field). Some were left alive, knocked out on the ground. Regardless of the fact Merlin & Arthur returned alone, NOT EVERYONE DIED.

Until TPTB, or anyone in the cast, tells me otherwise, Sir Leon is alive and well and still the First Knight of the Not!Round!Table.

QED.
