5×01: Frankie
03 Thursday Mar 2011
Bullets for Bitches
***
The first episode of Series 5 and also Gen 3 of Skins is all about Frankie Fitzgerald. Apparently she’s that token Skins character that you can’t just put in a box (I know, I know, all Skins characters rock, even Freddy whom I don’t really like but eh whatever).
So Frankie’s like dressed in an unorthodox way, has two gay dads (who actually were shown — up yours, Glee, you never showed Rachel Berry’s dads), doesn’t wear makeup, and is just weird enough to make you invest in her character and not turn you off or whatever.
After months of grieving over the end (and the preposterousness) of Series 4 and the end of Gen 2 as well, I’m finally back to being giddy about the very pretty cinematography and shots and ooooh the colors that are so characteristic of every Skins episode! Frankie’s episode made me always go 😮 and 😀 about every frakking shot that I almost could not choose which scene I’d post in this self-imposed meme. I finally narrowed it down to two sequential shots:
Love love love the slightly greenish/purplish overlay or exclusion layer or whatever that is that the Skins DOP did.
Plus, you know, the map? Yeah, it’s awesome. Not everyone has iPhones or has access to Google Maps, you know. And yeah, take note that if she intertwines her fingers, the letters on the tips will spell her name. You kill me with the details, Skins, really.

Yeah, so I thought since the main reason I love Skins aside from the awesome writing is the way they color everything — so, so, so, pretty colors — I’d post one snapshot of my favorite scene in each episode. Right now I’m currently watching the Nick Levan episode of Series 5. So anyway, here’s the shot of the episode.

I’ll have to re-watch all the previous episodes (from Franky to Liv) to post. After I’m done with that, let’s see if I can still go on and do the same thing with Series 3 and Series 4. Haha, hope I get to finish this, unlike that other meme I seem to have abandoned.

Oh, lookie, it’s Alo’s episode next week and look what prettiness Skins dropped right at the end:
Can’t wait already.
Scott Pilgrim Overload
20 Sunday Feb 2011
So I really liked Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, right? I even looped through its OST for about a month before I felt the urge to kick myself and change the effin’ playlist or whatever. I thought that was the end of it.
But no, I actually started reading the comic. Hahahaha. I’m back to the Pilgrim obsession. I even changed the wallpaper on my little netbook (it’s a nifty little thing, perfect if I just wanted to read some monstrous novels and/or scan through scanlations of manga and/or comic).

It’s gonna be a long time again before I completely get this out of my system.

So, I said to him, I said, “You pop that gum one more time…” and he did. So I took the shotgun off the wall and I fired two warning shots…into his head.
He told me he was single and we hit it off right away. So, we started living together. He’d go to work, he’d come home, I’d fix him a drink, We’d have dinner. And then I found out, “Single” he told me? Single, my ass. Not only was he married … oh, no, he had six wives.
He was crazy and he kept screamin’, “you been screwin the milkman.”Then he ran into my knife, he ran into my knife ten times.
UH UH, not guilty!
I come back, open the door, and there’s Veronica and Charlie doing Number Seventeen the spread eagle.
But he was always trying to find himself. He’d go out every night looking for himself and on the way he found Ruth, Gladys, Rosemary and Irving.
– Cell Block Tango, Chicago
Just remembered the awesomeness that is the Cell Block Tango from Chicago (the movie, since there’s really no way for me to watch the show on Broadway as of the moment). Fantastic dance moves, awesome song, I bet this is all sorts of awesome on stage.

The Scott Pilgrim movie is so frakking A! Awesome prods and awesome storytelling and awesome soundtrack. What more can you ask for?
Personal fave was the Metric song done by The Clash at Demonhead:

Now considering buying all the comics but I don’t think I’ll manage with more paper copies of any books or anything just yet. Ugh.
Also because I won’t probably be able to read and/or concentrate from here onwards because of … you know … stupid fcuking stuff that just wants to get in the fcuking way of … you know … stuff.

Found the song above while doing a marathon of Being Erica. The show is about 32-year-old Erica Strange who got fired from her job as a CSR because she was overqualified. Things sucked so bad for her during the day that she got fired that she began seeing a therapist to deal with regrets in her past. Her therapist, however, has very unconventional methods — including the ability to send her back in time and into the future and several parallel universes to relive those regrets and even change them.

2,000 colleges. 8 million roommates. Which one will you get?

I’m not really hot on thriller flicks or whatever but this has Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly and that chick from Hellcats (whose name escapes me right now but whatever) so I dunno maybe I’ll give it a shot when it comes out. That and probably deal with the resulting paranoia brought on by watching the movie.

Speaking of thriller/psycho/horror flicks, I found the following fake horror trailers for one of my guilty pleasures, Glee.

Jesse St. James transfers to WMHS to follow Rachel, a girl he’s heard about and fallen in love with. They begin dating, but the other Glee clubbers are suspicious because he has a tattoo of a latin phrase, which, in English, reads “Murder or be murdered.” Shortly after his arrival, students begin disappearing, and Will Schuester fears the worst and suspects their new student. Now Rachel must decide whether to believe her old friends or her new love before it’s too late.

I tried to find Kurt’s Going To Kill Us All but apparently it’s not on youtube anymore.

I’ve just recently started reading The Hunger Games — 1st book of The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins and I think Katniss Everdeen might make it into my most favorite empowered female fictional characters list below (in no particular order):
