jebbypalI just finished watching the BBC movie Lorna Doone that I'd gotten from netflix back when my friend came to visit. I'd had a feeling it would be bad, but I had no clue. It's sad my friend wasn't here -- would have been fun to mock it with her.
It basically used ever single trope imaginable, beyond predictable, and the absolute worst stereotyping of characters I've seen. Worse, the actor that played Jeffrey in the British Coupling -- yeah, he was the lead. And every time he smiled dopily (way too often), I kept expecting a Jeffrey moment. Which would have improved the movie considerable. When Lorna was killed, at the wedding no less, I'd had enough. Probably only two minutes left, but geez, I'd had enough pain thank you very much. And no, Ididn't bother w/ spoiler tags because trust me, YOU DON'T WANT TO WASTE OVER 2 AND HALF HOURS OF YOUR LIFE.
Also, Ummm, yeah, The guy that plays Seth...methinks I'd despise him in real life. He came off as a total airhead of an actor that is totally too into himself. And I was beyond annoyed that they (the actor that played Al Swearingen was also on the commentary) gave all these props to all the male actors when they appeared, but then ignored saying anything about the actresses...oh except for being incredibly rude and male during seth and alma's sex scene.
Yeah, I think the only commentaries I've actually enjoyed watching are Firefly. Farscape is okay, but after a while, Claudia and Ben do start to get on my nerves a tad. they are just toooo happy on it. which is fine, I understand, but still. geez.
anyways, that was my day.
cross your fingers that my back will move in the morning!
