ebonlockMany thanks to my wonderful sister, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
divine_debris for making me a new Doctor Who torture icon. And for promising me episodes 7-12 soon. Of course it can't be soon enough. *happy sigh*
I think I figured out why I like this incarnation so much, beyond the fact that he's dead sexy, of course. Episode two changed "like" to "love", I think it was the combination of vulnerability and manic energy, the revelation of his own personal tragedy, and last but not least, the image of him rocking out to "Tainted Love". This Doctor wouldn't have to ask me twice to get in his TARDIS...hell, he wouldn't have to ask me once. I'm going to be devastated when he regenerates, but if I had to put money on the situation that'll cause it, it'd be some grand sacrifice through which he hopes to expiate his survivor's guilt.
At any rate, last night I managed to catch a favorite film of mine almost from the beginning, "Mr. Skeffington". Claude Rains and Bette Davis, how can you go wrong with that combination? At the end of the flick I was told there's a new boxed set of Bette's films out that includes "Now Voyager" and "Dark Victory" as well as "Mr. Skeffington" and my jaw dropped. It will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine.
Got some housework done, finished up my convention costume, pulled everything out I need for Saturday and even started my packing for the trip. Go me! But still no wireless for me :(

Date: 2005-06-17 01:44 am (UTC)Made me think to pop in my olde Red Dwarf tape ...
... and wrap up the night with "Evil Dead II," the one with "behind the screams" at the end. What a hoot! Steve is rapidly becoming a fan of Bruce's films. And how nice to see Ted Raimi again :)
Speaking of shows, did I mention I caught the first couple episodes of "Lost" a while back? Interesting stuff.
We're hearing rumors that "Batman Begins" might be worth seeing. Any thoughts?

Not really a fan of the Bat so I can't say much. A few friends have discussed seeing it, if they get back to me with their opinions I'd be happy to pass them on.
