This week we watched clips from Romeo and Juliet and Romeo + Juliet in Shakespeare (it's hard to believe that it's already been twelve years since the latter came out). Most notably we watched the scene where Romeo and Juliet meet for the first time in the former, and the duel scenes in both.
The first time i saw Romeo + Juliet i had not seen Moulin Rouge and had only a vague remembrance of Strictly Ballroom. i didn't like it, but then, i hate the play to begin with. i had no idea who Harold Perrineau was (Michael on Lost) or John Leguizamo. Their portrayals of Mercutio and Tybalt are soooo much better than the older version. In the old one Michael York and John McEnery seem like a couple of kids playing around. In the new version there are no accidents, it's violent and deadly serious. I prefer it that way. i still hate the fact that Claire Danes shoots herself in the head... it's supposed to be in the heart @(#*@&$.
So next i have to read Macbeth (something i have never been successful at) and drew Hamlet for my final paper (which we will be working on all semester, is our third play, and i have to read in British Lit). Shakespeare's going to be coming out of my ears for a while. i want to get both versions of R&J, and the Kenneth Branaugh version of Hamlet. i have so much homework this weekend....

not watching much...
i've been leveling lowbies on WoW and maybe watching an Inu-Yasha or Vandread before i turn in for the night. Today's my first day back to school.... (Way to post about nothing ;)

summer is nearly over!
And it's time for a blog overhaul! i am going to try to blog here more often, on the many shows i watch, as well as writing movie reviews. i'm also going to try to remodel the blog a bit to make it prettier to look at. i'll probably change the banner (if nothing else) more often, to match wherever my viewing tastes have taken me. And once again i am going to take Southern Mama off the list of authors (she's only written one post) and make this blog solely about my viewing tastes. Further, there is no reason for me to be using the Muchacha de Hurley nickname when i haven't posted on the Fuselage in ages and this blog isn't going to be only about Lost anymore. i've already redone all of the blog's labels to make this more clear and streamlined.
This has been a weird year for tv with the SAG Writers strike and shortened seasons. Because there was less to see of my usual programming, i greatly expanded the number of shows that i watch. i want to take a moment to outline my television viewing choices... in alphabetical order for ease.
the 4400 ~ Science fiction at its best, making you think about issues such as terrorism and medical technology etc. i sincerely hope that they continue this series (instead of canceling it as they seem to have) and we get to find out how this story ends.
Firefly ~ Once i gave in to Serenity my curiosity was piqued and i gave in to Firefly, too. The original (unaired) pilot would have been a much better choice to air first (i might have actually given the show a fair try instead of acting so much like Chubuncle) but alas Fox as a rule acts idiotic and kills the shows that show the most promise. i went on to watch Fillion in the quickly canceled Drive... and must admit though i am annoyed by how Whedon is so down on Star Trek i also appreciate his vision of the future.
Heroes ~ Geeks rule!!! i had heard that this show was good, but who really cares about saving a cheerleader anyway? (; i finally decided to watch it simply for Greg Grunberg but was entirely pulled in. i love Hiro and Peter's characters and liked the Man with the Horn Rimmed glasses a lot more than i was expecting. Oh and of course seeing David Anders again is awesome! i'm really looking forward to the new season.
Grey's Anatomy ~ i started watching this show while i worked at KJCT 8 and discovered that i actually liked it more than i thought i would. So through the power of Netflix i started getting the first season and fell in love with the show. Yes, it's soap operish and angsty and there are a lot of affairs going on, but i really identify with Meredith even when i have never been in the same situation, felt the same way, or been nearly as psychotic. This most recent season was incredibly weak, mostly because i never liked George and Izzie together (or Izzie and Denny for that matter). The Ava arc got a little old and had a really astonishing twist at the end, and though i originally liked Alex and Izzie together, if they get them back together i am now going to be extremely disappointed. i like Meredith's sister Lexie and George together, however, so that will be interesting to see unfold.
Inu-Yasha ~ i started watching this because it's my ex's favorite show but also came to like it. It's got a good mix of action, romance, and comedy (even if it is corny as all get out and mostly filler instead of actually containing episodes where they come face to face with their real nemesis, Naraku). i like the first couple of seasons best, hated the band of seven, and am eager to see how things end up, but am not sure that i like where it's going as well as i liked where it came from. But watching this show has made me become more interested in anime, that and the myriad of Hayao Miyazaki films that i've been watching this summer. Just this week i started watching Vandread as a result of my Inu-Yasha obsession (though the plot is completely different i must admit).
Jericho ~ Another modern day science fiction tv show that is (was nearly?) cancelled, this one about politics and terrorism in a small town. i had meant to watch this show from the beginning, but it turned out to be on the same time as another show that i watch... i'm not sure which one actually. This show's pacing and subject matter is a bit different, but i still like the show and don't want it to end, even if it isn't at the forefront of my viewing choices.
Lost ~ Though at the moment it feels like it's the farthest thing from my mind, i still love Lost and faithfully watch it every week when it's on. The Jack/Kate saga is still pissing me off, i still love Sawyer and Hurley, and i still can't decide whether i like/trust Locke or not.
NCIS ~ My old standby and the only mystery crime fix i really indulge in any more (i rarely watch Law & Order or CSI anymore), these characters still feel like family and make me laugh. The crimes still keep me guessing and make you think.
Prisonbreak ~ Wentworth Miller is still dreamy, and i totally missed most of season two, but i want to catch up on dvd as soon as possible.
Private Practice ~ Not as good as Grey's, but i love Addison, and this show makes me cry nearly ever week (and that's a good thing... in a way).
Pushing Daisies ~ The irritating narrator's voice aside, this show can be extremely funny in a very quirky way. i appreciate the grumpy P.I.'s knitting. The romance is a bit strange... we'll have to see what happens.
Samantha Who? ~ This is very funny and i appreciate Christian Applegate so much more in this role than in Anchorman (though she was funny in that as well). The cast is excellent (even the small part of Nikki from Lost) and seeing Tim Russ again (being funny no less) is refreshing.
Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles ~ Lena Headey isn't quite how i picture Sarah Connor, but i like her just the same. But really, the star of this show is Summer Glau, and i want to trust Cameron, i'm just not sure that i should.
Ugly Betty ~ Ridiculous, soap operish, hilarious, and sometimes frustrating, but i love America and the antics that everyone gets into.
Last but (not?) least... Battlestar Gallactica ~ i've been watching the original series on NBC.com, and can definitely see why 20th Century Fox sued, but still find it completely different from Star Wars. It's also to see what Bellisario was working on at the beginning of his career. i have two episodes left i think, and then the second season, and the new show... i'm not sure how much i care about it really, but it's there when i get bored.
As far as the fall lineup... i'm full! i might check out Christian Slater's new show. i just discovered that Victor Garber is going to be in a miniseries that looks interesting. And i watch way too much tv, but Lost is nearly over and some of these shows probably are already over. ):

watching Inu-Yasha...
At the moment, i'm waiting for the streaming video to load. Kagome has, once again, been kidnapped by a demon... she gets kidnapped far more often than Sango does, or any other character for that matter.
i've been thinking about it for a while, how to reconcile the fact that Inu-Yasha is a half-demon himself, and the fact that there are nearly as many demons on this show that are good as there are that are evil. And then today it finally occurred to me: demon is just another name for angel. In Genesis, there were angels that slept with women called the Nephilim (or Nephilites in the NLT version of Genesis 6:2-4), and though i never understood the significance of the passage, i also never got the feeling that they were fallen angels. So on Inu-Yasha, all of the "demons" could just as easily be called "angels"... if the creators of the show actually meant the word demon in the Biblical sense.
Which makes you think... how many angels are walking among us (a la Hancock)? How many humans are half-angel, or half some angel blood in them from hundreds of generations earlier? Maybe all these really good athletes in the Olympics (especially the tall ones) are descended from an angel? Or even the short ones, think about how those tiny gymnast vault themselves through the air, have extraordinary balance and strength... is that completely human? How can they be so thin and strong when so many of us are struggling not to be fat? Even the Bible says that "they gave birth to children who became the heroes and famous warriors of ancient times" (v.4), so maybe all or most of the ancient myths are based on these very offspring! Those heroes and warriors were worshiped as gods themselves (interesting to think about).

Kiss Them for Me
We got this movie from Netflix because Cary Grant was in it. It's a movie based on a play based on a book... in other words it's nothing like the book. This movie stinks, Grant plays a jerk, and the situation echoes my own sole failed romance. Needless to say, i hated this film. Oh, and the bottle blonde was as annoying as all get out... what do men see in women like that?

i finally caved in...
...and watched Serenity. It was better than i was expecting. i didn’t watch Firefly (the pilot irritated me, so i shut it off, not to mention the fact that i was still mad about it taking over Dark Angel's slot) but when i saw the preview for the movie i was intrigued. i didn’t know who she was at the time, but it was Summer Glau that pulled me in. She is an absolutely awesome actress, and i love watching her on the 4400 and now the Sarah Connor Chronicles. i predict that her career is going to go somewhere. She's quickly becoming one of my favorite actresses to watch.

The Economist (spoilers if you missed it)
Teaser
wth? Has Sayid become an assassin? He certainly knows how to negotiate himself off the Island, promising to recover Charlotte is now a veritable certainty. We now know who 4 of the Oceanic Six are: Jack, Kate, Hurley, and Sayid. I assume that Sawyer is one, because of comments that Kate made to Jack in last season's finale, and i wager that Juliet is the sixth.
Act 1
MICHAEL is in the credits. i get the distinct impression that Sayid is not with Nadia and that he's working for Abaddan. The episode's title seems to point to the blonde's boss being Sayid's ultimate target. Jack doesn't look to Kate as his go-to girl anymore: he goes to Juliet. But he did have something else that he wanted Kate to do, so is he trying to stay on Kate's side while publicly displaying his preference for Juliet? Or did he not trust Juliet with Sayid still? Or maybe with Ben?
Act 2
What's going on with the experiment? i feel like i missed something. The Others left laundry still on the clothesline. i CANNOT believe that they locked Hurley in a closet. i think that Jacob is more likely to be talking to Hurley in the near future than he is to be talking to Locke. i feel like Locke has totally lost his way... ever since the hatch blew up i don't understand him.
Act 3
"Oh great, the ship sent us another Sawyer." rofl
So... the Island is 31 minutes off in time?
What's that black poster in the wall in Ben's room? Looks like a star map or some such (overlaid with a map of the Island? Are things on the Island laid out like they are in the sky?).
A bookcase hiding a doorway... to a closet full of men's clothing. AND CASH, passports, all with Ben's photos: how Alias of him.
HURLEY WAS IN ON IT!?!?!?!? what in the world?!?!?!?
Act 4
Sawyer doesn't want to go back to civilization... he wants to marry Kate.
Ben looks awful.
What's the list about? And why does that girl have the same bracelet as Naomi?
Act 5
Desmond getting off the Island does not include him as one of the Oceanic Six: he wasn't on the flight. For that matter, i guess Juliette leaving the Island wouldn't make her one of the Six, either, so the question still remains... who are the last two members of the Oceanic Six?
Somehow i knew it was Ben that was waiting for Sayid, but i cannot think of any reason that Sayid would be working for Ben. If it weren't for the fact that we know that Sayid is alive and off the Island in the future then i would be very nervous about his being on the helicopter with Frank and Desmond.

Confirmed Dead repeat (live)
Right now a repeat of last week's episode is on with little trivia tidbits sprinkled throughout. I'm at the beginning of act two, where Mr. Miles "Ghost Whisperer" no last name is talking to an empty teenagers room and making off with a big was of cash. Interesting facts about Act I... The woman in Daniel's house is not his wife, it's a caretaker. Daniel Faraday is named in honor of Michael Faraday, a physicist who investigated electromagnetism and gravity. His comment about light is supposedly a clue about the properties of the Island... i'm lost.
Ben is still getting under everyone's skin, and it's interesting to see him finally using his silver tongue out in the open.
Who expected to see Sayid and Juliet teaming up? Only a couple of days ago he was insisting that he and Sawyer be allowed to get answers out of her (actually, it's rather interesting that Sayid and Sawyer were working together, too. You have to remember, season one is years ago to us, but it's only a couple of weeks ago to the castaways).
Interesting to observe... Ben riles Sawyer by talking about Kate. Jack and Juliet have little moments together. Hurley and Sawyer may become best friends next.
Act 3
Charlotte is named after C.S. Lewis (wow, Chronicles of Narnia reference) and seems to know something about Dharma and polar bears being in deserts where they shouldn't be. Miles' sarcasm is actually refreshing compared to Charlotte's false niceness and feigned interest in the castaways. I like Charlotte better than Miles, she has guts (she dove head first into unknown waters for instance), but she just seems a bit socially awkward. She knows what she wants and she goes for it, acting polite just seems fake.
Act 4
Greg finally gets a name! Seth Norris married his high school sweetheart at 19: verrrrry interesting. Frank feels guilty that he wasn't flying the plane when it crashed, and Seth died as a result. i miss Greg Grunberg (he's why i started watching Heroes, plain and simple) and hope we get more info on Seth. Well, time for the new ep! Good thing Charlotte was wearing a bullet proof vest lol... or is it?
Act 5
Abaddan is the guy who visited Hurley, and apparently hired the rescuers. Naomi refers to Charlotte as a head case (hm... another crazy?). Frank knows the manifest by memory and that Juliet is a "native"... which is what they called the people Ben joined. Ben doesn't know what the Black Smoke Monster is, apparently, but he does know who Charlotte is (and presumably the rest of the team).
Who was flying the helicopter that Naomi bailed out of? How many people are on the freighter and who is the "man" on the boat??? Is the name of the boat Rescue? Are Michael and Walt aboard? New ep is starting now.
It occurred to me halfway through this ep (this second viewing) that our impressions of these rescuees/searchers for Ben are probably going to be vastly different in the future. For instance, when Mr. Friendly was introduced he originally seemed very menacing, but when Sawyer finally killed him... it was a shock for me in a way because i knew i would actually miss him. i am wondering what is wrong about anyone wanting to find Ben, but also what's so special about him.

save the 4400
i've been working hard on a paper for school, so i haven't had time to post on Lost yet (though i have seen it). i just wanted to mention the cancellation of the 4400 and i hope that the show can be saved. Sign the Petition or find out where to send sunflower seeds. i can't wait to see what happens next.

so...
i know that i created this blog as an outlet for Lost. i've been writing about tv shows for a long time, most specifically Star Trek (Voyager and Enterprise), Dark Angel, and Alias. But i've never been able to launch a webpage or blog that does everything i want it to do. i like writing about tv, movies, books, and think that there would be a lot more content here if i expanded this blog. Everything doesn't just happen for a reason on Lost, there are a lot of other shows that i felt were like that, too. It's one of the ways to write a good story or screenplay, you don't put anything in there that doesn't directly influence the story, so you only put in something for a reason. So i am planning on expanding this blog to include other forms of entertainment as well. Happy viewing everyone.
the wait is finally over
Lost is returning!!! i've finished watching season three and am ready to find out what happens next. After the typical catching-back-up clip-extravaganza the fourth season will premiere with "The Beginning of the End."
"Feeling that their rescue is close at hand, the survivors don't know whether to believe Charlie's final message that the people claiming to liberate them are not who they seem to be. The band of friends, family, enemies and strangers must continue to work together against the cruel weather and harsh terrain if they want to stay alive. But as they have discovered during their 70-plus days on the island, danger and mystery loom behind every corner, and those they thought could be trusted may turn against them. Even heroes have secrets..."

my birthday present
No, not the One Ring, but season three on dvd. i totally did not expect to get it for my birthday, but lo and behold there it was. Season four is around the corner and i'm actually starting to get a little excited. Saw the new promo and Jack is still such a whiner. Let's hope we'll still be skating this season. (:

"The Man from Tallahassee" text session
i know, i haven't been writing anything here since the season resumed, but here's a little text session that happened last Thursday.
Southern Mama ~ watched lost
Muchacha de Hurley ~ What ya think? Is it really locke's dad in that room or the monster? Is he <the real> sawyer?
Southern Mama ~ Do you mean is sawyer locke's dad? I think so. Not sure about monster..maybe monster lives in box?
Muchacha de Hurley ~ i think that it's marked cerebrus on the blast door <map> which would indicate that there are three.
Southern Mama ~ Three what? Monsters? Boxes?
