This is going to be a lot of episodes. Since it’s Easter and the uni library is closed, I have pretty much nothing to do, and I have already planned the next three days, or actually 10 days, this post is on the list. I do not have any films left to watch, I do in fact, but this can wait three months. As for today, I decided to take a little break, and listen to the lecture in the evening. I ended up watching the pilot of Greys for the 40th time probably and the rewatching 7.09 episode where everyone is drunk and Meredith and Alex are the last ones standing. But I’ll cut to the case.

Grey’s Anatomy 9.17

Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. I love that we’re done with d Mercy West part in d name, and I am really happy but I will miss Seattle Grace.

‘Welcome to my funeral.’

‘No one asked you to sue the hospital into bankruptcy.’ ‘For the plane crash that killed Lexie?’

Grey’s Anatomy 9.18

That Arizona/Callie scene was all I’ve been waiting for. Jessica was spectacular. Exactly how I would write it. Best scene since ‘I like the girl who has the sandwiches’. Just kiddin’ they had many amazing scenes. So damn perfect. ‘No, Callie, don’t.’ Oh the pain, perfection.

Grey’s Anatomy 9.19

Noooo, Mer, no you don’t need to know that!

SVU  14.16

‘Women and girls look up to you, if you stand up and say ‘no more’ (…) We know that when men do this once, they do it again, the bottom line here is that you are not safe.’

‘Open hand, closed hand, can you see the difference or? There’s a three second rule on chocking? It was too quick for you to help her out? Just watch her get beat?’

‘Anyone who says that, you should block them immediately, cause what he did to you is despicable.’

‘So what do we do now?’ ‘We wait.’ ‘For what?’ ‘The inevitable.’

7/10

SVU 14.17

Everyone goes undercover. Does every cop have to be dirty, or suspected of being dirty? Why does Liv go out with Brian (who even knew that was his name? Sounds weird, right?) after he slept with prostitutes and I really did not want to have an image of Liv going down on him in my head, damn you, SVU.

5/10

SVU 14.18

I have no idea why we no longer have child victims, when these cases are most disturbing and simply the best. Anyway that was fine, very SVU, good. I was waiting for Liv to tell the girl or the jury she’s the product of rape.

‘Do you remember when you asked me about my father and I told you that it was a long story? It’s not that long.’

Bones 8.18

I have no idea what happened to good old Bones, and when did it go wrong. Why none of the cases are rememberable.

Bones 8.20

Nobody wants to see Caroline flirt with some guy. We love Caroline, but, no. Bones being all am I not a nice, likeable person, hilarious. Again, I do not remember the case.

8/10

Castle 5.17

Wes Craven! Why the hell did he say ‘all Nightmares’, he created the Nightmares, directed and produced two and written three, didn’t want to do more. Wes Craven does not sleep at 3.12, he has just woken up. 3 am is the devil’s hour.

‘Friendly competition my ass.’

10/10

Castle 5.18

I don’t know if I’m happy to see this version of Ryan, or if something really doesn’t work here. The scene when he was calling their names, beautiful.

8/10

Shameless 3.07

‘Bullshit. 30 Days? Frank hasn’t been sober for 30 minutes.’ ‘Mind your own business. Just give me the chip. Just let me borrow it.’

‘Only requirement for membership is d desire to stop drinking.’ ‘Exactly.If I’m tempted by d bottle,I can look to d chip for encouragement.’

”For the better? You’re all dying a slow, miserable death, thanks to this cult of self-improvement. Drop off the kids, 9 to 5 PTA, AA…You call that a life? This ain’t North Korea. Alcohol is a gift.’

‘Alcohol is a cruel mistress.’

‘U’re prepared 2 b responsible for them until they’re 18?U have 1 brother who’s 2.That’s 16 more yrs.We’re talking about d rest of ur life.’

The Carrie Diaries 1.08

‘Carrie Bradshaw, a lawyer? You have no idea who ur daughter is or what she wants. Just because they aren’t your dreams for her, doesn’t mean they aren’t real and unattainable. Your job is to let her become d person that she wants to be. It’s a matter of who and what she she wants to be. She’s a hell of a writer. Did you know that? She writes about the world in a very special way, like she’s seeing it n learning from it.She’s got a voice. Let her use it. What if writing is her calling? If you don’t let Carrie explore the world n figure out what she wants to be, she’ll never become the person she’s supposed to be…Someone who’s happy and loves who she is.’

The End of The Affair. Hannibal. Psycho. Crazy. Stupid. Love. Savage Grace

I have figured out the way to post as frequently as before, I have downloaded this app for my Galaxy Note and now I can write just as much as I want.

This week, surprise, surprise, yet another Julianne Moore marathon.

The End of the Affair

All the jealousy, ‘He killed me with jealousy, you’re killing me with love’, blaming God for talking her away from him. A sensational film. One thing I don’t understand is, if she died of tuberculosis, he does know he’s gonna die too, right? Why was that was mentioned? Or have I seen True Women too many times as a kid?

10/10

Hannibal

What I love about this sequel is that there is more action than in the first part. In The Silence of the Lambs, I was not intrigued by the side story of that girl from Greys getting kidnapped, but absolutely fascinated with the Clarice/Dr.Lecter relationship. It must have been really hard for Julianne to live up to Jodie Foster’s creation of Clarice, but she did a great job in the end. What I really liked was that after all those years both Clarice and Lecter still obsessed over each other. The last act is psychopatically good, starting with Hannibal dressing Julianne into this dress (off scren, you pervs) and serves the brainy meal. How her hair gets stuck in the fridge and they finally kiss and he chops off his hand instead of hers and finally the scene by the water where she identifies herself as Agent Clarice Sterling.

10/10

Psycho

Why do they keep doing remakes of the best films ever made, what is the point? Classic stays a classic, no remake is needed, as no remake is going to be better than the original. The sister and the boyfriend were my favorite characters, no doubt. I really do not see Vince Vaughn as Norman, in some scenes he was good enough, in most just average. I would have not watched it if it did not have Julianne. Remake like any other remake, nothing more, but not disastrous.

7/10

Crazy. Stupid. Love

For more than a year I have been telling myself, I’m not watching this, even on the plane three weeks ago I could have watched it and did not. Somehow I did end up watching it, as I had a need for a light romantic comedy type kind of film. First of, we all knew she was her daughter, why would you put Emma Stone with Julianne Moore in the same film when there is no other lead female characters. The fight outside their house was absolutely hilarious, I rewinded it two times, Julianne’s ‘Jessica!’ killed me, so has the parents meeting where we find out he slept with 9 women. I was actually nicely surprised with this one, not the dating part, for a 21st centry romantic comedy, it was really decent and I definitely recommmend it.

8/10

Savage Grace

One of my favorite Julianne Moore movies, though the plot does not stick to what we read about the family presented in the film. The incest scene was the best scene of the whole film, but there were many unconsistencies. I knew the threesome was made up, as that did not make sense at all. The mother wanted to fix him, by having women sleep with him, she would not allow him to make out or maybe even sleep with her boyfriend, I am not surprised they got sued for going too far. The next thing that was absurd was that the murder happened a few mintes after the incest, they made it look like he blamed her for forcing him to do this, when we read that the affair was an ongoing relationship and even if they wanted to go this way, he let her, there is no way he would have killed her right after this scene. What is more, we did not see any signs of his madness, she was outgoing, butnot crazy, and so was not he. The should have focus on his disease. The film does not say that he has played with knives before. The bathroom scene, though one of the best, it was nicely implied he had sex with this boy, but the mother was not angry, though later, she could not stand his homosexuality. The last point is casting, I know the character was a beautiful woman herself, but it would be easier to understand the issue if the mother was played by a less attractive actress, no man feels sorry for the son when Julianne plays the mother. Despite all the flaws and plot holes it was an incredible film.

Learning to recognise the best blues songs in history for my music class, while writing my grades of what I have seen these past two weeks, most of these I saw during my flight and let me just say Quantas’s Oscar collection is pretty amazing. At the moment I cannot remember two films, shame on me, but so much is going on, I will update when I finally remember.
