despite my better judgment, i actually got up before noon on a saturday. christin and i went to the aacc bookstore to pick up the remainder of her books, which only cost us $3 thanks to us being poor and our country being essentially a welfare state. then we headed to the amish market for cheese logs [mmm, cheese logs] and saw true grit at the harbor center. it was really good, that's all i'll say. the acting was terrific, and the dialogue was great, but that's pretty much to be expected with coen brothers movies. not a huge fan of non-space westerns per se, but jeff bridges and matt damon in a coen brothers western? come on. what's not to love?
came home, talked to daks, finished buffy season three and started season four. first episode of season four, well i'd hate to say it, but finally an episode i didn't like. i knew it would happen sooner or later [and i'd prefer it to be sooner so we don't have another lost repeat], but it's still just a bit disappointing. anyway, hopefully it'll pick up soon, because yeah! they did lose some major characters that went over to angel, thankfully the three most annoying ones, but that's no excuse! well, not a good enough one for me. i was wrong though: i thought her roommate was gonna die really quick for sure. ;-P goodnight.
As a major fan of BTVS, I have to agree..the first episode of the fourth season is kind of hard to come out liking. I won't ruin anything for you and christin but i will say that it does get way better and an interesting twist is about to come up :-)
ReplyDeleteit just didn't feel like a normal buffy episode. the pacing was off, the characters were super distant, buffy wasn't acting like herself, etc. with the exception of the intro and the very end, it was just like watching a totally different show. i guess whedon could've written it like that on purpose to mess with people, but meh.
ReplyDeletei'm just glad that angel, cordelia, and wesley are gone. they were my least favorite characters. ;-P
