healingmirthIt looks like Jeremy Renner is going to play Hawkeye in Joss's Avengers movie. I have absolutely no opinion about this, except for the fact that I was totally uninterested in his character arc, or in shipping him with anyone, in The Unusuals. I think he's a good actor (obv., given The Hurt Locker) but my interest in his Hawkeye is going to have everything to with what he's given, and not so much with what he makes of it. So, sort of the same way I feel about Chris Evans.
I started watching Lie to Me because it's steaming on Netflix, and I'm enjoying it so far. I am curious to see what happens with the radical honesty guy as the season continues, because I am shallow and he is entertaining and good-looking.
I've been enjoying the cast and the stories in general, but after watching three episodes back-to-back, the playback/zoom-in/comparison of peoples' microexpressions are beginning to grate. Also on the verge of beginning to grate, the 15-year-old daughter, but I feel bad for not liking her.
Big Love has teens, but I haven't watched that since season one. Catherine on CSI (and possibly Brass?) had teenageish daughters. Are there any teenage people amidst otherwise adult casts whose characters kick ass?
Okay, so this French McDonald's commercial that's been making the rounds of the internet. There's a whole word of debate/wank/trolling about whether or not they'd ever show something like that in the US, and I've got to say that I hope the answer is no. I don't mean that I don't want to see the part where a gay kid and his dad eat lunch. I just really hate this commercial. Maybe it's just me, but I find it really, really... French. And by French, I mean, you know, French in that sort of cliched sense, the one where the entire country is sort of artsy and vaguely depressing, like Russia, except more disdainful of Americans. Because the McDonald's commercials in the US? All end with the big happy family/group of friends bonding over fries or whatever, as opposed to on a sort of disquieting note where father and son will either have a heartfelt discussion and then they'll buy an apple pie to celebrate, or it will all go horribly, horribly wrong. In public.
I'm finally watching Oz, or I will be, tonight. I sort of feel like I was too young to watch it when it was on originally, but that's not true, because I was in college. Er, actually, maybe me in college was to young to watch that. We'll see.
