it's been pretty quiet around here?
Jan. 10th, 2012 10:35 amSo I want to host a comment fic-a-thon again. But these things tend to work better when there's some sort of theme to them. The Bechdel Test one was well over a year ago--anyone interested in reviving that? Or, if not, we could do crossovers or three sentence limits or something along those lines. Anybody have any thoughts? Anybody have any VERY STRONG feelings about not having something right now? Do these things tend to work better when they go up on a Friday and the we have the weekend to write? Basically, I'm lj-booooored and I want to do this, so give me some feedback, please. Even if it's just to say that you'd be interested or that you're super busy right now and can't possibly participate in anything even this low-key.
Also, I saw Tinker Tailor Sailor Spy last night, and I think they need to change the title to Everyone Has Really Bad Hair. Incredibly well-acted and directed, and whoever did the production design deserves an Oscar, but, like Roger Ebert, I sometimes felt lost and that I was missing out on important details. A quote:
I still think it was a very enjoyable movie experience and I don't regret seeing it, I just feel like I'll have to watch the movie six more times (or, more accurately, read the book which I've tried to read twice and couldn't get very far into) in order to pick up on everything.
In closing, all spy movies should be set during the Cold War. The end.

I have every confidence that in this film, every piece of information is there and flawlessly meshes, but I can't say so for sure, perhaps because I don't have a mind suitable for espionage. I enjoyed the film's look and feel, the perfectly modulated performances, and the whole tawdry world of spy and counterspy, which must be among the world's most dispiriting occupations. But I became increasingly aware that I didn't always follow all the allusions and connections. On that level, "Tinker Tailor" didn't work for me.
