...way out on the corner of fucked up and evil...

I always feel really uncomfortable whenever I see William Russ playing a bad guy, because to me he's always Corey's harrassed but loving dad on Boy Meets World and I can't reconcile him with being Alma's asshole father on Deadwood (possibly the only time I have actually cheered Bullock on was when he beat the shit out of ol' Otis) or a self-destructive ATF agent with a ten-year boner for Sonny on Miami Vice. (I'm not making this up, I swear; even if there wasn't the whole repressed-homophobic-self-loathing thing going on, that whole "Make me happy, Sonny! Make me happy!" scene totally speaks for itself)

Of course, I feel pretty uncomfortable right now anyway as Earthing has returned with a vengence, meaning I get to sit at home vomiting and losing money I can ill-afford to be without. Suffice to say, I am not best pleased.

Now, I'm off to find Sephiroth/Cloud mastubacest, and if anyone interupts me I'm going to shove a wire coathanger down their ear so they can really feel my pain.

Advent Children, oh my God! It's totally better on a second viewing, because the first time around you're all, hoping for AWESOME PLOTNESS but also harbouring the secret fears that it will be another Spirits Within, so it's like OMG TEH TENSION, but the second time around you can sit back, relax, and laugh yourself stupid at Kadaj's Oedipus complex. And also be relieved that the dubbed version omits the creepy leather noises. Why God, why?!

I was kind of suprised to hear Crispin Freeman playing Rude, as I automatically assumed he would be Sephiroth. I love Crispin Freeman, but he has this tendancy to make all his characters sound really, really pervy. Sometimes it works (Alucard, Rosiel, Touga-may-he-die-horribly-in-some-kind-of-accident-with-the-Akiocar) and sometimes it doesn't (Zelgadis). And on Rude, it just doesn't. Although I nearly pissed myself when he and Reno are talking about the bombs and Reno's like, "Flashy, huh?" and Rude goes, *pervy Crispin Freeman voice* "Yeah, you love it." I bet he does.

Of course, I completely forgive the casting directors because oh my God, Vincent Valentine is Shishio! This is awesome on a level beyond my comprehension, and completely makes up for the fact that Andrew Francis was somehow not cast as Kadaj. Because you know Kadaj is just movie!Dilandau five years down the line. Although I'm not sure I'm over casting Quinton Flynn rather than David Matranga as Reno. Way to pick the wrong Orphen, guys.

Plotwise, yeah whatever. "Oh my God, the Geostigma is being cured by the rain!" Yes, that's because it's dirt! Take a shower, you smelly bastards. Of course, if Yami and Deadwood have taught me anything - and they've taught me so much - it's that severed heads can make or break your affection for a character. In Kadaj's case? It totally makes it. And also Rufus's, because it's just hilarious to carry a dead alien head around in your wheelchair and not tell anybody about it.

So in conclusion, I guess there's really only one thing left to decide: does Sephiroth/Cloud qualify as incest or masturbation?

Well, that was bloody depressing. Spent three hours this morning checking and rechecking the list of stolen DVDs for the insurance people; I know I've left stuff out but I'm sick of thinking about it and since the total cost of replacing everything has reached over eight and a half grand, I decided to stop before I made myself really ill by brooding over it.

In other, more cheerful news, I saw Advent Children last night and oh my God, how cute are Rude and Reno? I could give a shit about everyone else - Cloud, those mini-Sephiroths, Tifa, Cloud's random dead friends that he hallucinates about - because dude, Rude and Reno! So cute! And that one mini-Sephiroth who looks like Dilandau, I like him because he... looks like Dilandau. But mostly Rude and Reno.

Now, off to find AC porn...

People on my FList keep posting pictures of Kingdom Hearts II and Advent Children and I don't always stop to check the community name and then it leaves me all like, OMG RIKKU IS IN ADVENT CHILDREN WHY?!?! and then I think of how much I hate Sulky Squall and how David Boreanaz did his voice in KHI and I was all like, "Oh great, now you're whiny and voiced by Angel" and I secretly thought he might have an evil alter ego but NO, there was just Squall. Being sulky. Getting his ass kicked by Haley Joel Osmond. And... it's very confusing to me.

Also, shut up Amazon I do not want Sharpe's Challenge! Stop being all temptifying with the promise of Sean Bean only to deliver Ye Olde Sean Bean because it hurts my feelings! Besides, I need the Sentinal and Gargoyles and the Moomins and so many other things and oh my God why does everything have to cost money? People should buy me stuff just for being awesome. I'm going to take it up with Liamneeson at the next staff meeting.
