I like Fassbender fine, but I don't have the level of fandom obsession with him. I think the problem is that the book is pretty dense and I know it well, so to make a movie of it, they have to condense it. They spent like three minutes at Lowood.
Spike: I'm not a monster. Xander: Yes! You are a monster. Vampires are monsters! They make monster movies about them! Spike: Well, yeah. Got me there.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Because books.

Ugh. Yeah, I'm still waiting for the perfect adaptation that manages not to cut out or minimize any one part without being six hours long.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is this a cheering up your mom thing?!
Oh, god, I didn't think about that. Had better not be. Not my poor mother.
Is there room to be a Cumberbitch and be all about the Assbender.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Seriously, why??

The four-episode British miniseries from a few years ago is pretty nice.

The one with Toby Stephens? I did like that one.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, crap. I discovered to my horror a zero balance at my CU - overdrawn! Looks like I entered an incorrect date on a couple bill payments through my CU and they were paid a week before I intended them to be. Payments were covered through my savings account, so it's not a totally dire situation, but damn I feel stupid. And it's a week until payday!
This is the danger in switching accounts! I've gotten all complacent about my bills being paid on schedule without my active intervention. Well, that doesn't work, Self, if you screw up the schedule.

The one with, um, Toby Stephens? I liked that one too. I find I mostly like parts of every version. I even liked Charlotte Rampling in the William Hurt version.
Mmmm...Cumberbatch. I was talking a coworker who's been transferred to a different location today. It took a while to convince her to watch Sherlock, but she's been thoroughly Cumberbatched now.

Sorry, that was you.
