shadowkatWell, I polished up the 28 pages of story I've written. (Single-spaced). But
can't seem to get any further tonight. More interested in snarking for a bit on my live journal.
Today? Not as frustrating as yesterday. Actually sort of pleasant. And there's a new Veronica Mars on tonight, which I'm looking forward to. Supposed to be one of the best written episodes of the series. (Which means I'll probably be disappointed in it - much better off when I go into things with low expectations. I'm a critical bitch in case you haven't noticed, and going into anything with high expectations is not a good thing.) Hmmm...is the better mood and work bringing out the snarky side of me?
According to whedonesque they are considering a Spike Movie. Not sure this is necessarily a good thing. First off - what would it be about? Spike solving some mystery of the week? Oh, don't get me wrong, I'd watch it. But I'd watch Marsters read the phone book, actually I think I have watched him read the phone book - no wait, that was The Mountain. I'd also watch just about anything Whedon did - with a few minor exceptions (Alien Resurrection - have yet to make it through that film, and a few other things he ghost wrote.) Not so keen on his comic books though. Fray...not gripping me. Could be a mood thing.
Do want to see Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy and since my neice's first b-day party has been moved to May 14th and is no longer this weekend, I might take myself to it. Haven't read the book - so no worries of comparing it. (yes, that's right someone out there has not read Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy - the shame! the shame! Nor has any interest in doing so. I did however see two or three of the tv episodes when I was a child. Have vague memories of them.) Also looking forward to seeing Batman Begins, Star Wars Revenge of The Sith, V is for Vendetta, War of the Worlds, Charlie and The Chocolat Factory,
Harry Potter, Serenity, yes - when it comes to movies, I'm a bit of a geek.
I like the fun ones. (I also love the serious ones - but do not necessarily need to see them in the movie theater - can rent those.) My pal Wales on the other hand is interested in seeing Crash, Palindromes...(which could be interesting, but also depressing if I know Todd Solondze).
Got bogged down with the L Word. Episodes 9-12 did not enthuse me. (Still talking S1 here folks). Everyone but Shane and possibly Bette started grating on my nerves. And I really don't like the direction they took with Dana, who was my favorite character. I adored her and the sous chef. (By the way - I didn't know Tina was played by the same actress who played Justine. That's where I've seen her before?? I think I liked her better as Justine, which is weird. I know.)
Okay, must eat - then off to watch Gilmore Girls (please be better than the last two weeks episodes, although I did enjoy the Luke bits - Luke is becoming my favorite character), and Veronica Mars.

Date: 2005-05-03 04:37 pm (UTC)For a character who was on the show that long, he's never had someone that loved him as much as he loved them. He's never had friends that were his and not someone elses that he just happened to hang with.
I would like to see him deal with life in his way, cause for Spike it wouldn't be about fighting crime, it'd be about life, even if he is dead.
I would love to see how Spike's story moves on, when he can't hide into being someone's back up. When he's alone and has to make a way in life for himself and not for someone elses sake.
Sure there could be fights and action and...
Thing is... I don't think that right now, seeing how Joss left the chars from Buffy, that aside of Spike and Gunn, that there's anyone else I'd want to watch.
I still haven't watched Firefly, but what I've heard of it just doesn't at all interest me. I thought the Buffyverse was interesting, but mostly cause Spike was in it.
And I'd love to see someone, anyone, explore the importance of a vampire voluntarily deciding to break out of the box and choose to make his own decisions, wether good or evil, by regaining his soul.
Cause they damn sure never showed any consequences of that on either Buffy or Angel. (hell, if you'd watch Angel and believe some of the crap he and his friends put out, you'd almost think that it's more important and more admirable to be cursed with a soul after the rape, torture and murder of a young woman, than it is to actually fight for your soul *grumble*)

Date: 2005-05-04 05:18 am (UTC)Truthfully, I think the point of the character was the contrasts. The fool for love aspect. The need to belong, but not quite doing so. The very things that obsessed you with him - were what made him work. Can't see a writer letting go of or resolving those issues. Nor should they. Especially in a one or two hour movie.
I have a feeling if they did a Spike movie - you'd hate it. Because I can't see them addressing any of your issues, for some of the same reasons they didn't in the series.
