I really want to hear how your trip went, if you ever feel like sharing I hope you had an awesome time.
What have you seen of the series, and what are the options?
Let's see, you're a woman who works out regularly. I'm a lazy guy with no measurable upper body strength...
Yeah, I'm going to bow out of this one. Of the things my arse enjoys, "being kicked" is not among them.
One thing I love about Boardwalk Empire, and isn't spoilery at all, is how the characters just straight up transform visually as your opinion of them evolves, and you don't even notice until you look back. I mean, there's a scene where Margaret dresses up as her old self and you're like, "Woah!" because you hadn't realized the difference, but look at Jimmy! I just re-watched the first ep, and I'd forgotten he used to look like that.
Okay, now to go find something productive to do while I still have no Sadness Squid.
And it's taken you this long to get the chance? I am shocked, shocked!
wait a second... Van Alden is a cliché? Holy crap, there are other characters like him? I must find them at once!I have only seen the first season, but I agree. They really grow on people, though some of it can feel a bit rushed and cliché-ridden, which is my problem with the Van Alden character.
*flexes biceps*
You sure you wanna do that?
No. That's one of the most well-known fetishes (actually I feel odd even calling it a fetish to begin with) there is.Is it bad that I find a stronger woman menacing over a weaker man incredibly hot?

I like Nucky, but I feel like the only reason I do is because he's played by Steve Buscemi and I seem to be pre-programmed to like any character that man plays. You're right, Jimmy would have made more sense as the central protagonist.I'm one of those fans who doesn't like Enoch Thompson and watches mainly for other characters, in my case the Darmody family and their associates. I think the show could be so much better with a better main character. But this particular producer, Terence Winter, has some kind of deeply ingrained habit of making Nucky-type lead roles, so what can ya do?
Wow. Whoever invented those... That is the best piece of cynical humour since these responses to the infamous "WWII is Full of Plot Holes" article.
Fen - I like your chickens.
Now I think about it, there really weren't a lot of people in that show I'd call 'attractive'. I mean there was Jimmy, but even he looked kind of weird. Beyond that... really there was nobody.I know right? Between him and Van Alden, if I weren't a lesbian going in I would be after a couple episodes.
I don't really think Nucky was meant to be a truly sympathetic character. At least that's how I read it. I read it as you're supposed to think he's pretty much just a bastard, but that he has rare lapses into being somewhat decent.I like Buscemi in a lot of other things, but I don't like the writing behind Nucky. And Nucky made sure in like the first or second episode that he would never be a sympathetic character in my eyes with his attitude toward WWI veterans.
I just saw on TV that they're re-releasing The Avengers in theaters for Labor Day weekend. Since the remnants of Issac are heading our way, and will undoubtly produce much rain, this might be a plan. I'm off Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
If you like her chickens, you should see...
Nah, never mind. Been too long and not enough people here would likely remember it.
