ne me quitte pas

Yet again, here I am, watching Buffy, but that's to be expected by now.

Buffy is dating Riley Finn, a member of the Initiative - the secret militia against the demonic forces in Sunnydale. Willow has just met Tara, the soon-to-be love of her life. Tara is one of my favorite characters.

I can't think of much to write on.

I did read this article about how the producers for the original X-Files show, they wanted to cast Pamela Anderson as Dana Scully. How odd would that have been if Gillian Anderson (Anderson v. Anderson) hadn't been Agent Scully? So, so bizarre that would be. It baffles me when I try to think about it. Moulder and Scully (Pam Anderson Scully), the wind in their hair, looking like a shampoo commercial. Baffles me, seriously.

M was supposed to come over with some wine tonight, but he totally bailed. Whatever.

You can totally tell Willow and Tara are into each other in a lovey dovey way. So cute.

I miss watching Grey's Anatomy. The characters are just so awesome. I'll be sad to see Izzie Stevens gone. :( Damn Katherine Heigl for wanting a film career. TV is so much better!

I mean, TV has to be more fun, if you're on a great show with a good cast and all that.

Buffy is getting very sensual with Riley Finn. It's very erotic for UPN. Or maybe the UPN was kinda like FX.

Giles is a great character. He's funny and British.

So many awesome people have been in TV shows. But there's an equal amount of awesome characters in movies too. Whatever.

fat carol, this is a review-blog

Today, I watched Untraceable (2008). 

It was a pretty good movie, overall, but truly, it seemed very bland, I guess... I can't find the right words right now. 

Diane Lane plays a FBI agent that specializes in online predators of all kinds. Her partner is played by Colin Hanks and is a very likable character. 

The threat in the film is a person who kidnaps people and then sets them up on the Internet where when the more people who sign onto the website, the faster the kidnapped person dies. The deaths are creative and gruesome. I'm not a huge fan of gore, but this is slightly tolerable. Gore is never tasteful though. Ever. 

As a FBI agent, Diane Lane is slightly unbelievable. She seems terrified when the threat is directly upon her, without any backup. I guess someone, anyone, would be upset in that sort of situation, but an FBI agent should always be on top of their game, right? I mean, Dana Scully from The X-Files never got truly frightened about her surroundings, or have I just not seen enough X-Files? 

The ending of this movie is what makes me angry. It's very cliff-hanging, I guess. There's no ending for the characters, really. It's what makes me think that this film was the movie-version of a Faye Kellerman novel. Or someone to that extent.
