a few Trick vids

So, as far as I'm concerned, Trick is about the most awesome thing in doramas that doesn't involve swords.  Waiting for subs on the second movie?  Killing me.  You have no idea how much.  So I shall post vids.  Because there simply isn't enough Trick love out there.

(Ok, what HAPPENED to all the Trick vids that used to be on youtube?  There are several awesome ones that I've watched before but couldn't find...)

( clicky here )

PS-thanks to both calixa and aoimidori for linking me to their posts so I could get the meme.

Handsome Siblings-up to ep 20-mostly a bit of OTP babble and pics

First- Su Ying, the doctor-and Concubine Shu-Xian's sister-are completely awesome and aren't being used NEARLY enough.  But then, that's one thing I've noticed about these shows-no matter what the leads are like, you can count on having some awesome supporting to characters to take up any slack that might exist.

Handsome Siblings eps 21-22

Reunions.  Rescues. Blindness. Death of True Love-real.  Death of True Love-believed(but very much not real according to many pics on my harddrive)  Unrequitted love.  Revenge.  Utter despair and devastation. 

Seriously, all I could think watching these two episodes was "dangermousieis going to be psychotic and screaming all through this."

( pictoral evidence )

Incidentally, I'm not deliberately favoring Nicholas Tse over Dicky Cheung in these posts, it's just that there are far fewer good pics of him that I've come across...most of the good ones I've found, I've posted.

reading update

The Scent of Shadows by Vicky Peterson-What's this?  An urban fantasy with nothing resembling vampires or werewolves in sight?  *clings*  This is kind of "if fantasy did superheroes" including the (deliberately here) corny dialogue comics are known for.  It's about Jo Archer, a photojournalist who concentrates on the Vegas nightlife who finds out she's the daughter of a supervillain and a superhero(that world's version) andthat not only do the two sides of herself not get along, but neither side of the conflict likes or trusts her.  Book was excellent, if a bit choppy(though not nearly as bad in that regard as many first novels) and I grabbed the sequel before work today.

Hikaru no Go Vol 9 by Yumi Hotta and Takeshi Obata-I concede, I read this almost solely for the absurd levels of cute that is Hikaru and Sai(though I'm also very fond of akira)  That said, I really wish they'd stick with a steady supporting cast.  Aside from the bearded guy and the brat in this volume, I've liked all the supporting characters, but I think we're on our third set now...

Tomb of the Golden Bird by Elizabeth Peters-Ssssseeeettthhhhoooossss. *falls into rabid fangirl mode for a minute* *hem*  Excellent as always, though I'm starting to wonder if I like Nefret for Nefret, or if I like Nefret because Ramses loves her.  Interesting thing to think about.

Buso Renkin Vol 5 by Nobuhiro Watsuki-Ithink I'm through with this book.  I kept with it because it's by the Rurouni Kenshin mangaka and it took me a bit to go from "like" to "love" with Rk, but...well...5 books in and my dominant thought is still "Bleach if Ichigo were all happy and cheerful.  And it wasn't as good."  That said, if there's an anime, I might check it out...it strikes me as one of those that's just more suited as an anime(but then, that's most-but not all-fight-oriented shonen)

re: Amazons Attack #1

that was...it...it...why does my only mad icon have to be so tame?  I need a blind bloody rage icon...

AA #1...it...it...it made the one issue of Jodi Picoult's WW that I've read look absolutely golden.  And some might recall my post on that.

I'm not sure I can be coherent...I mean, is DC on an active campaign(and absurdly heavy handed one at that) to make us utterly despise the amazons?  Has anyone involved with this ever read a single Wonder Woman comics that was published in the last twenty years?  And that one line of Diana's...one word shouldn't piss me off, but it was enough to convince me that they don't know her at all(poor forgottenpolishgot my instinctive reaction to that)

I...I...we're talking Marvel-s level of canon-rape and character assassination here.

I don't know if Gail Simone can make it any better...I mean, Picoult's WW was just poorly written and characterized...this is blatant and shameless character assassination on levels you just can't recover from(and the way they did it was just so...well...frankly, it was sexist of the "look at what these horriblehorrible women are doing to men and male symbols" variety...did I mention how disgustingly heavy handed it is?)  

Yet, it's a mini, so I'll likely get the whole thing.
