Erika's Journal

The GATV website has been putting up some nice discussions about the show during its hiatus are are very well worth the read. They are divided in four parts as follows:

Week 1: Reaction and analysis of Arrow so far, Part 1

Week 2: Reactions and analysis, Part 2

Last Week: Comparison with other comic adaptations

This Week: Expectations and predictions for the rest of Season 1

The discussion is carried out like a podcast in written form and the questions covered through all four parts are posted under the cut. If anyone wants to discuss them here, feel free. I'd love to read people's thoughts.

( Under cut for size )

Okay, I saw this movie on Sunday and I still have no words for it. I have read many wonderful reviews that express everything I think and feel a million times better than I can hope to express.

Every time I think about this movie my mind just goes



before it shuts down from awesome overload.

Let me see if I can express my love for this movie: it's the awesomest awesome that ever awesomed in the history of awesome. Think of something awesome then put a thousand more awesomes in it and it still won't be as awesome as this movie.

It's perfect and flawless. Everyone has their own space to shine. The Hulk STOLE the movie. I was really so worried about Mark Ruffalo, but he totally pulled it off. The Black Widow was another concern, but she was totally kick ass too and the actress was able to show the depth of her character. I really don't know anything about the comic books and she had me very intrigued about her past and her story with Hawkeye. They NEED to make that movie! Loki was creepy and sad, Thor was great being a little torn about the love for his brother and his need to save the planet and I don't think I need to say anything about RDJ. He's always awesome. And lastly, here is Teh Captain. The only thing I need to say is that he is my favorite from now on. I'm sorry, Tony, you are great and amazing, but the Cap stole my heart.



For a more indepth review that expresses my opinion to the letter you can check it out in sangate's LJ but beware it's full of of spoilers.

AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT AGAIN! AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!

I saw it yesterday and will only say that this one is my favorite so far. It was a lot better than I had imagined when I read the book and they didn't leave much out.

The downside were the bunch of fans that were screaming for first ten minutes of the movie and that the two girls beside me were actually counting each step they took in line until they entered. Each. Step. And the fact that they didn't stop chatting over the whole film. Apparently one of them hadn't seen some of the previous movies and wasn't understanding squat about this one.

What a loooong week. *can't wait for vacations*

I've been immersed in work and in that World Cup frenzy. I've got my bets in Germany, BTW. I had my weep when we got kicked back home, but at least it wasn't a 4 x 0. Srly, that game made me ten times happier than I'd be if Brazil had won the whole cup xD. ARGENTINA GOT BEAT UP AND MASSACRATED!!! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh!!! \o/\o/\o/

I watched Doctor Who several days ago and pretty much every single day since then. ( Cut just in case there is anyone left in the world that still didn't watch it )

I finally saw the new episode.

( spoilers )

This post will probably end up being a bunch of disconnected thoughts, but then it could end up epically long or short. I don't know. I just thought I should post something, even though I have no idea what.

I've been cooking. I cooked dinner the day before yesterday. It was just french fries (or chips because I really like that word and because it's in Doctor Who), but it was actually the best ones I ever made. Not that they should be hard to make. But me being me, that's excellent progress. They accompanied a cheeseburger with bacon that was actually bought at the supermarket.

Today I made a full meal with rice (that kind that has carrots and potatoes and peas in) that actually did taste good (first time EVAR), some cooked eggs, tomato salad and fired chicken (which was also delicious). I also made pudding which will be eaten in a few moments. It also turned up great.

All in all I'm really surprised. I mean really!

I saw Iron Man 2 last week. Or was it the week before? Anyway, I liked it. Initially I thought the first one was better, but I might have to watch both again just to make sure. All I know is that RDJr doesn't hurt the eyes. Not the least bit.

I'm finally, slowly, making out of the hole I find myself in. I will be able to pay everything this month and I'm not late on the bills. Yay!

On the Doctor Who front. I'm almost turning to a spoilerwhore again. Almost. I keep out, but some things inevitably sneak in. I loving all the episodes and Matt Smith is turning out to be my favorite doctor. Who could have imagined? I loved Rory in the last episode and I'm really looking forward to more. Next week's looks interesting, but maybe a little too predictable. I hope I'm wrong.

Talking about episodes, I watched the Supernatural finale today. ( Spoilery talk )

I'd love to remain 100% spoiler free for season 6, thank you.

Also, It's been really cold in here this week.

Yay! Another week, another episode! Shall we start this?

( Hide and Seek )

First of all, I still don't have internet. I tried to catch up, but apologies if I missed something because of the huge gaps in between my LJ time.

Second, I saw it!!! And I loved it!

I went with my brother and sister and it's GREAT to see it and have someone to share your experience with. We spoke during the film several times. xD And I don't even like speaking during films. ^_^ I was slitght spoiled though. *sighs* And of all places, I got spoiled watching Brazilian TV. Can you believe it? They are not the least bit interested in SciFi. *sighs*

Going to the movies was a small adventure in itself. I, my sister and my mom went to the movies in the city we live to watch that Nicholas Cage film. We really liked that. It was over at 6:00pm. We went to my place and out of a sudden we decided to go to another city, Sorocaba, about 1 hour drive, to see if we could catch the last Star Trek showing. My mom couldn't go because of Gabriel. So I drove her home and of we went.

We arrived at the mall at 8pm. The place was packed! Four theaters were showing Angels and Demons, and they were all full. Only one theater was showing ST, but the last one had been at 5pm! Can you believe it?

So, we went to another mall. We got there at 8:30 because of traffic. Again, four theaters with Angels and Demons, all packed. There was only one room with ST and it was dubbed! I HATE DUBBED FILMS! And the next available time would be only at 10PM. So we ate (A LOT!) and after we were done, it was time to go already (We really ate a lot, lol).We were alone at the room, then two groups of people arrived, and one more during the trailers. It was really empty and that place is awful! The walls are dripping water with all the humidity! We laughed a lot talking about the lenghts we go for Star Trek.

We liked A LOT and even talked several times during the movies, something we never do. My brother and sister were so unspoiled for this movie, they didn't even know the actors! It was a true jorney of discovery for them to find who was who.

( Spoilers from here on )

I'll do a reaction post of sorts, but I'm sure it won't be totally true because reaction posts can only be done after the first viewing and that happened a week ago. I've seen this ep far too many times already.

( SPOILERS FOR VEGAS )

I just saw it. ( Unspoilery part first, I'll leave spoiler space afterwards )

( SPOILERS HERE! )

The bad part is that it's over now. No more SGA, except for the movies. *sniff*
