turpsWe've been to see Dolittle today. I'd been warned in advance it wasn't the best and yeah. I went in with low expectations and because the screen was pretty much empty could have a quiet brief conversation with James as we tried to decide what the hell RDJ's accent was supposed to be. Welsh, I think but it seemed to wander UK wide.
I watched Picard yesterday and And I have to admit my reactions are quite shallow for the most part, because hello Santi, what an entrance! I mean, I've enjoyed him as an actor for a long time but for his first scene to have him shirtless, shrapnel in his shoulder being removed by a hologram of himself. Way to get me invested in a character in an instant, and then reinforce that with the whole both not playing by the rules but also Starfleet through and through. By which I mean, hi Rios, I love you a lot already. Please be a lot of fic that includes self!cest. I also need an icon, stat.
I actually liked the whole episode a lot. Raffi is another great character and I really enjoyed all her interactions with Picard, and of course the ongoing mystery of just what the heck is going on in the cube and with Soji.
And the end part, with them on Rios' ship and this new small crew and Picard gives the command to 'Engage' I had chills.
Kayleigh's off to see the Thriller stage show at the Empire tonight. Which is of note because somehow she thought it was Friday last week and actually only realised when she got to the seats and saw that the stage was set up for Cabaret and someone was sitting in her actual seat. How that happened I don't know as she had to show tickets to the security guards on the door and then the lady pointing to seat positions. Apparently neither saw she was a full week early and had tickets printed for a totally different show.
