I finally decided which story I want to remix yesterday and am about halfway through with the writing. I've got the whole thing plotted out, though. I'm extremely pleased with myself. :)

Josh and I watched The Heat the other night with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy. It was fantastic, y'all. One of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. We were literally howling with laughter. I thought it had some wonderful moments of poignancy where you might not expect to find them. And even though it's a comedy and contains ridiculous and over-the-top element, I think there was a subtle message there about police officers being more effective when they police the communities they also live in; they're doubly invested and they're part of the fabric of life there and in tune to the cultural mores that surround them. Now I want to see Spy. I have heard such good things about that movie, and the NPR review makes it sound like the shit, but those trailers are god-awful and don't seem to bear any relationship to the things people are saying make the movie so good.

I just started reading Garth Nix's Abhorsen trilogy; it starts with Sabriel. Anybody else read these?

What are y'all reading and watching? Rec me some stuff.

It's more that I don't like watching LEOs breaking the rules and being assholes. I don't like it when it's men, and I still don't like it when the characters are women. /stick-in-the-mud

(I mean, I get that it's part of the genre, and I have no problem with the movie in principle; women have just as much right to be assholes as men do. It's just not a genre that works for me.)

For all that, I did have a favourite line: "That is not an accurate description of my vagina." :-D

Everyone seems to be crazy about Daredevil, but it does not seem to depict appropriate conduct for members of the New York Bar, irrespective of their sensory and super-sensory condition.

Just going by fandom osmosis, yes, it's Matt Murdock, Esq. and his law school buddy (boyfriend?) Foggy Esq. Also he goes to confession a lot, I don't know why his confessor doesn't point out that there's the opposite of a frequent-flyer discount, you're supposed to STOP DOING WHATEVER IT IS YOU FEEL GUILTY ABOUT.
