Dark Light

Because I’m a strange person:

Branagh’s As You Like It

It’s got Kevin Kline and Alfred Molina as Jaques and Touchstone. Alfred Molina is playing my role in AYLI! It’s got Adrian Lester and Brian Blessed in it! Brian Blessed as Duke Frederick! Doing Shakespeare! And it’s a proper film and everything of As You Like It!

(Yeah. Other people can squee over Pirates or Hobbitses. To your own fandom be true)

(No, this does not mean I will ever write shakespearian slash. Though I’m sure it exists).

(Hmm. Touchstone/Jaques).

(Did you know that before the Aquarionics Diary Bit was called “Dayze at a time” it was called “Ducdame”?)

Age of Ultron

There was a movie. It's... Um. Let's start with this: The following review contains spoilers for Age of Ultron. They start after the following paragraph, which is why you need to click the link to read the rest. Right, so my problem with AoU is that it's a comic book event series. Its purpose is to make people need to go and see it to wrap up the past and understand the future episodes. It's the exact kind of Age Of Secret War On Ultimate Earth cross-francise bullshit that generally kicks me off any super-hero comic series I've started to get into. Suddenly, in order to follow the arc of a character I need to buy twelve comics across nine series, five of which my local shop doesn't carry. The actual plot of the movie doesn't really maintain its own momentum.
