tardis_stowawayThe US will finally get to see The Reichenbach Fall legally tonight. Tissues for all! I hope the fandom brings a new push to the "I believe in Sherlock Holmes" public campaign now that it will make sense to non-pirate viewers.
I saw Dark Shadows. It was pretty entertaining, though I wouldn't exactly classify it as good. Eva Green as the villainous witch was great fun to watch.
Avengers stuff keeps appearing on my flist and especially my tumblr dashboard. I found a magnificent Natasha/Clint fic that exactly fits the craving I'd been feeling since seeing The Avengers:
-we were emergencies by gyzym: Clint and Natasha struggle through recovering from the horror of mind invasion. The fic shows both of them as badly broken, but also shows how badass and snarky and even caring they can be. Watching them drag each other up from the depths, difficult baggage and jagged edges and all, is wonderful to behold. This fic gives me SO MANY FEELINGS. I stayed up far too late last night reading it, and I regret not one second of that. (word count: 37154).
Also, I enjoyed this article of meta about Black Widow, why her characterization is awesome in The Avengers, and why it's so frustrating that many mainstream reviews didn't give her enough appreciation.

Date: 2012-05-22 02:09 pm (UTC)I want to see Dark Shadows as well. I don't except much, but it seems relatively funny. And I see so many movies in the cinema anyway, so you know, I kinda feel like I need to go and see this one as well.
The Avengers was a very cool movie, but somehow, I don't feel the need to get involved with the fandom. Which is probably a good thing, I have too many fandoms anyway ;)
