"For Good" Kristin Chenoweth & Anna Kendrick - Trevor Live 2012

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH-. You guys. OK I'm a musical geek for both broadway/stage shows and film and television. So when I just saw that Kristin Chenoweth AND Anna Kendrink were not only singing together but were singing  WICKED, I promptly lost my shit.

Throughout the performance I continued to whisper swear (my mum was watch TV behind me) and lightly  hit my head on my arm over and over again. I couldn't. I can't. And yeah. Big fan girl moment.

Lord of The Rings: Fellowship of the Ring

• There are so many bad decisions in this movie
• The establishing scene of the Fellowship was uber cute
• Letting Frodo choose which way to go? HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO GET THERE...and he chose the worst route ever
• The magical jukebox scene was good. 
• Sean Bean has the best scenes.
• There are  heaps of references I'm storing away for the hobbit too
• So glad I did this with friends
• Lol at Gandalf escaping by riding on a giant eagle
• Get your shit together Frodo
• Dean Bean touches way too many things he shouldn't and never puts it back
• Every time I ask my friends to clarify things, I feel like an idiot
• I am literally the only one here who hasn't seen this
• This cinematography is amazing fyi
• LEGOLAS FLUTTERS EVERYTIME HE MOVES
• I'm sorry but when Gandalf was being attacked and was spun, I laughed.
• So far there are elves, dwarves, wizards, humans, and some randoms
• Everytime I recognise an actor I think about what else they've been in: Sean Ben = Game of Thrones, Liz Tyler = Armageddon, Charlie from Lost, Agent Smith from the Matrix
• "One does not simply walk into Mordor"
• I want Gandalf's hat and magic staff thing
• Liz Tyler is gorgeous. On A JennaMarble's scale, I'm on a level 2 girl crush for her
• This music is SO dramatic
• Orcs
• The hobbits are children and Gandalf is their protective grandpa who scolds them really well
• Here comes the unending supply of arrows conundrum
• Freaking Frodo
• I'm gna equate him to Elena now
• Legolas is a stellar fighter
• CABIN IN THE WOODS GOD/MONSTER/ANCIENT ONE. Was freaking reference to thisssssssss. 
• I'M SORRY. BUT DID WE JUST DO AN UBER CLOSE UP ON FRODO SCREAMING/AGONY FACE FOR WHAT FELT LIKE 10 MINUTES FOR A STAB WOUND THAT NEVER ACTUALLY PENETRATED SKIN?
• "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"
• I cant handle Frodo's eyes. They're just....nyehhhh
• I really don't like Cate Blanchett
• I stopped liveblogging at this point.

It has been an emotional week

First of all: SPOILERS

Once Upon A Time. S02E08
Everytime Hook is on screen I start repeated the phrase "I love you" until the end. I really can't tell which side he is on. By the way. THAT ENDING. This show, man, this show.
Let me tell you about this show. You hear about the general premise of fairy tale characters being sent to the real world. At first it sound stupid and childish and nothing will come of it. I have to admit you had to drag yourself through a few of the first couple episodes. But once you're in, YOU ARE IN. And you are awarded of joining because it gets good. There are plot twists that you will not see coming. There are characters that you will come to admire and love and want to succeed because all he really needs is a big hug and to just find that one person. I admit it could get overly cheesy and in your face about good morals and good/love triumphs all and all that crap. But the drama....it is equally, if not, just as in your face and absolutely addictive.

Vampire Diaries S02E07
Dear Diary,

I almost died to today. It must be Friday....

Anyways I wanted to do the right thing by everyone and once again got in everyone's way. I then felt guilty and made myself the victim by whining to Damon and Stephen. By whining I mean that I moved in with them since my brother is a mix of psychotic ring boy and psychotic vampire hunter. That was of course after every single of girlfriend and parental figure he has ever known have either died by the hands of evil or turned evil and then died, or in my case just got awesomer but also deader. I am so awesome and moral.

Anyways I have to go, Damon is telling me to do something outrageous and totally out of character for me. It must be love!

love, Elena

This show is making me hate all the characters I should love. But I can't stop. The Delena tension (and eruption) was really weird in this episode. It just didn't rub me the right way for some reason even though I've been waiting for this since Damon got on the show....EPISODE ONE. The only thing I'm genuinely LOVING is FKING KLAROLINE. I squealed and giggled and fan girled and oh my godddddddddddddddddddddddd. Please stay together forever. I kind of got annoyed when Caroline and Stephen think that there must be something weird and evil happening because Elena's in love with Damon. She showed all the signs before her change that she had feelings for him, why was this so left field for them? But that twist was pretty good. God, Damon can't catch a break. 

Glee S04E08

Yeah I'm a Gleek and I'm half proud half ashamed. It's a guilty pleasure that everyone knows I take part in. Anyways. This episode was so weird. When it began I got so excited by the return of the ex-glee members. I got 10 times more excited when we heard Mike sing properly for more than just two lines. The mash up was great because I love Home by Phillip Phillips and it blended so well with Homeward Bound (Simon & Garfunkel) I didn't undertand that Kiki scene? I was so alarmed and confused at what was happening. It was both weird and fabulous but mostly weird. The Klaine phonecall gave me the smilies. 

Quinnnnnn, I was hoping you'd be changed and successful but you just got worseeee. But I do miss the Unholy Trinity. Tina singing Gangnam Style gave a semi racist feel (wasn't it established she was Chinese?) but she also got a solo, so I didn't really care.

Kitty is psychotic. I don't understand people, especially people at a really young age, wanting to be mean to someone for such petty reasons and to go to such lengths that would cause someone else just physical harm. Marley could get some really serious health and mental problems from this. How does this not cross this girls mind? 

Special Announcement!

Hey non existent readers! I have some awesome and potentially dangerous news.

Next Thursday (Australia/future time), I am holding a Lord of the Rings marathon at my place with a bunch of friends in honour of The Hobbit coming out!

I've calculated and see that it is 9 hours and 18 minutes....not including extended scenes and footage that my friends have and we are going to watch. So this will be taxing day, whether it be on my health or emotional state or my mental state.

I'll try to figure out how to record my reactions in one form or another in order to do a full out review afterwards.

So here is my knowledge of Lord of the Rings (which is mainly made up of singular words and pronouns):

• Elijah Wood = Frodo
• His friend's name is Sam? Which is a weirdly normal name for this universe. I mean...his best friend's name is Frodo...
• There are two other guys and one of them plays Charlie from Lost
• They're hobbits which are different from dwarfs
• Middle Earth
• New Zealand
• Gandalf
• Sauron?
• Ring that has weird writing inside and does stuff and is significant
• Evil Dobby named Golem
• "My precious....."
• Orlando Bloom
• There's a lot of walking and journeying through New Zealand  Middle Earth
• Btw is Middle Earth the name of the whole universe or just the name of one specific section in the universe? See, I have the same problem with Game of Thrones. Is Winterfell the whole universe or just one region? DON'T ANSWER THAT

This looks like I know a lot (to me it does) but I'm just saying words that I've heard around everywhere. Because...you know...I live under a well informed rock. So here are predictions:

• People die
• The ring gets destroyed at the very end. It has to be right? That's the whole point of the whole franchise?
• There's an evil force that want's the ring for evil purposes? Because they're evil?

Yeah that's all. I don't know. 

Doctor Who #9 S01E03 The Unquiet Dead

I didn't sign up for this when I wanted to get into Doctor Who. I didn't know exactly what I was signing up for, per say, BUT IT WASN'T THIS. Within the first 5 minutes I was freaking out. Dead old people suddenly coming to life with white eyes? Yeah, no thank you. Ever.

I don't know what to take from this episode. It shows that Rose's morals, although understandable and is right to us, may have to change. She's now part of this bigger picture where that are hundreds of unknown races of alien beings. She want's to respect the dead yet she could help save an entire race of aliens. She wants to protect Gwyneth (who was on the first episode of Merlin and apparently was in Torchwood) who has the ability to save this race at the risk of her own life.

It's that question: would you kill one person you know in order to save hundreds of strangers?

She also needs to understand her views and morals are not just out of place when it comes to aliens, but to different time periods as well. They were in 1869 and Rose was appalled at Gwyneth's treatment when in fact, Gwyneth had to going pretty well for a female of her status. She had a paying job with a kind employer and even a form of education. But Rose just sees an underpaid, uneducated and poorly treated girl. So she needs to learn to adjust and empathise in a whole new way.

We also met Charles Dickens who is dissatisfied with life. He feels that he's grown to know and be certain about everything around him. He has no more motivation to write and doesn't believe in paranormal/supernatural. His adamant refusal to believe what obviously wasn't normal shows how he is afraid that the beliefs that he had lived his whole life by were wrong; that everything he said and did was pointless and completely wrong. But then this seemingly small gem pops up:

"Can it be that I have the world entirely wrong?

"You're not wrong. There's just more to learn."

I like that he doesn't shoot Dickens' down and say that he was wrong about everything but that he just simply didn't know everything. It would have been so easy for the Doctor to just tell his everything he thought and believed was wrong because the Doctor knows so much. How much does the Doctor know, exactly??

Anyways Doctor Who episode three was: scary, wtf, how?, why?, what?, scary, wait...., wth, DON'T DIE

So death count this episode: at least 3, not counting the already dead bodies that exploded at the end. 

• "Sorry I told you to shut up."
• "Who's your friend?"  "Charles Dickens."  "Okay."
• "First you drug me and then you kidnap me. And don't think I didn't feel your hands having a quick wandering, you dirty old man!" -Doctor just smiles harder-
• I don't understand this joke about it being Cardiff...
• HOLDING OF HANDS "I'm so glad I met you"...YOU GUYYYSSSSSSS

Breaking Dawn Part 2 and Vampire Diaries S04E06

So this won't contain spoilers, per say, but it does hint and imply a lot of what happens. So read at your own risk? I don't know....

Breaking Dawn:
Kristen Stewart looked admittedly really good. But that's a given since she's all vampirey now. The "graphics" or whatever the hell they did to Renesmee did not help one bit. It had the signature awkwardness you'd expect from the franchise and so much ludicrousy that you don't know whether be to angry, hysterical or horrified.  

They gave us exactly what we wanted. As soon as that head was ripped off, I (and the rest of my friends beside me) were just frozen. In shock. Jaws on floor. A sort of mental collect "WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?" We weren't expecting this. We've all the read the book. This didn't happen. WE ALL WANTED IT TO. AND THEN THEY DELIVERED IT. And then-
As soon as you realise everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, that happened..... I don't even know how to articulate how I felt. I was overwhelmed. I quite literally leaned forward in my seat, head was between knees in my hands and I laughed hysterically. I couldn't. I still can't. It was one of the most ridiculous moments in my life.

Take from that what you will. Just...unless someone tells you, YOU ARE NOT PREPARED.

Vampire Diaries:
I think I'm speaking for a whole lot of people when I say how tired I am of Elena drama. (Although I am a big Nina Dobrev fan. That girl is gorgeous). Not sick of the Salvatore triangle, but the general, endless, infuriating dangerous conflict that happen BECAUSE of her. Also her moral and ethical standing, as much as we get that she's that kind of character and the show needs that kind of element, it's a pain in the freaking arse. She does just cry and whine all the time. We understand why and accept it. But it's so damn annoying.

We were this close guys. This close and it would have stopped. And then Damon came. And things get...not weird...but different.

And then that ending that just happened? It happened. It actually happened. And I like the way it happened. It was mature and sensible and honest and not dramatic. But then, how is this going to unfold in the future? It can't just go BAM and TA DA right? Or it could...I wouldn't mind

Predictions for Sons of Anarchy, Supernatural and Game of Thrones (novel)

Ok. So this is going to be me making a complete fool out of myself. I can see myself in the future laughing incredulously at past me already. 

Sons of Anarchy.
Let me just start off by saying: I have no idea what this is or could be about. I've heard that it was amazing. And that's about all. I don't know any plot points, I don't know any characters or names. Someone had to accidentally mention it was about bikies for me to know that. I haven't even seen any tumblr gifs or graphics about it. So here are my blindly made predictions about Season 1, or the series in general:

• There are at least some attempts of anarchy
• I’m guessing that they’re not literal sons/brothers, but like, brothers in spirit? JC....
• Bikies is the only clue I got from a friend. I actually didn’t even know that. 
• Guns
• Men
• Shit man, I don’t know. I KNOW NOTHING!
• Tig. 
• Apparently tears shall be shed. Or endlessly flow. Forgot which one
  

Yeah talk about unprepared.....

Supernatural

To be fair, I've seen this season and remember half the episodes. So it isn't really fair for me to try and predict anything about this. 

Game of Thrones

Everything I know about this is from tumblr and friends. So these are predictions based solely on the television show which will probably sound ridiculous and weird when applying it to the novel. Here I go:

• People wanting to be THE king and/or queen? Of everything? 
• So apparently favourite/loved characters will be ripped away from you
• The hated ones somehow survive
• There's a dragon lady who can talk to them??
• There's a kid that everyone hates and wants to bitchslap
• Nudity and incest
• There's a throne....
• I feel like an idiot writing this. I’m pretty much all done
• There’s going to be a lot of snow
• Apparently Winter is coming. I don’t know if it actually arrives any time soon. Is it a metaphorical winter? Does time pass differently in this realm which means it takes 10 years for a literal winter to arrive? I DON’T KNOW. I’M GOING OFF TUMBLR GIFS AND I’M RUNNING OUT. I STARTED PANICKING BECAUSE I STARTED RUNNING OUT AFTER INCEST.
• Swords. I’m desperate at this point.
• Brief moments of happiness is followed immediately by tedious extended periods of grief and death

Yeah....so lets get to it!
