So, Super 8? Super GREAT! *rimshot!*

No seriously this movie was awesome. Speaking of fucking charming. The scary parts were the right kind of scary, and the funny parts had the whole audience laughing helplessly. Good script, good directing, good acting, ADORABLE KIDS. No seriously where did they get these kids, they should give them all Oscars. Did I mention the good acting?

The movie was a fun mystery; I had a great time trying to piece things together as it went along. As a period piece it was charming; there were all of these little nods to the time period that were like, "LOL GUYS CHECK IT OUT IT'S 1979, ISN'T IT HILARIOUS?!" Although I am seriously starting to think "My Sharona" is stalking me today. Can we make "My Sharona" today's official theme song? Okay? Yes. It's official.

Favorite moment:
"He's too stoned!"
"DRUGS ARE SO BAD!"

Do stay for the credits, oh my god.

...You know, this movie is kind of exactly what I should have expected, considering it was a team-up between J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg. You know what it was like? A cross between Cloverfield and E.T.: The Extraterrestrial. That is exactly what it is like.

Tell you what, though, if I see people slashing Charles and Martin I am going to stab my eyes out.

...So anyway. That happened. And then I got home and put on a pair of pink polka-dot pants and ate an organic vegetable-pie pocket sandwich and blue jello, and watched Doctor Who. So that was fabulous. And I mean, like, really fabulous. THAT EPISODE. SO AMAZING. And I was starting to worry, too, with the second half of the season starting off with two thoroughly mediocre episodes. And next week: "The God Complex"! I am excite! (Everyone saw the trailer for "The God Complex" back in July, right?) I hope it's as good as I want it to be. I can't stop thinking of it as the House. I mean– minotaur! Dude raving in decidedly Johnny Truant manner! As I have commented before, I will be disappointed if the episode doesn't start playing upside-down or sideways or backwards or in Braïlle, even if I have no idea how that would work.

SERIOUSLY THIS FILM, I LOVE IT SO MUCH. <3<3<3 JJ ABRAMS, ALWAYS DIRECT SILLY DELICIOUS MOVIES, PLEASE AND THANK YOU.

I... have actually seen at least one person slashing Charles/Martin. D: And I did think it was a bit D: D: D:, too.

I HAVE NOT YET SEEN THIS WEEK'S DOCTOR WHO. I wanted to leave myself the whole day for writing, because I have stallet at 27K of the cop!Erik AU and I need to MOVE IT FORWARD ALREADY, GODDAMN IT. D:

I just... I have really finely-tuned slash goggles at this point, and even as I'm watching the movie I'm seeing it and knowing other people will see it and some of them will actually think it's a good idea to write it and I was just like— *facepalmfacepalmfacepalmargh* I just– any slash pairings for this movie, ew, argh, no, and I just know it's out there in various combinations and it burns.

OH MY GOD IT'S FABULOUS. AND... THINGS I WILL NOT SAY, BECAUSE SPOILERS.

GAH GAH STOP IIIIIT, MUST WRITE. >_< MUST. WRITE. (Maybe if I repeat it for long enough, I'll believe it. >.> Appropriate icon is appropriate.)

Yes, my slash goggles are so finely tuned right now I see slash potential EVERYWHERE. This is not good for my sanity. DX

Ahaha. The boy and I thought the same exact thing when we went to see it (the cross between thing). It was such a good fucking movie.

I need to catch up on Doctor Who. If this weren't Death and Drinking week, I'd be all over that in a heartbeat.

It really is just exactly that, isn't it?

This week's one was just such an excellent use of the universe. Really good timey wimey stuff.

...Why not substitute Doctor Who for Death and keep Drinking? :D?

Death = work in this case, so I can't. ):

Six days in a row, though after one, I did a c-c-c-c-combo breaker by puking everywhere and not having to go in. I hate weirdo flu.
