Casanova, etc

So, whoever told me there was nudity in Casanova? Really needs to get out more. Very cute and funny movie, full of lots of familiar actors and David Tennant acting exactly like he does as the Doctor, which is especially surreal when you consider that a) a good number of the major actors in it have guest starred in DW over the past few years and b) it's Russel Davies' writing, so the dialogue is pretty much exactly like the Doctor, too.

...But I've seen more naked flesh on the university Quad in April. Which is a pity, since what we did see (chest and truly astonishing expanses of pale, skinny, adorable Tennant-leg) was quite nice.

Aaaaanyway, it was still a good movie. Funny, good acting, great cast, etc. Pleasantly silly up to the depressing bit in the latter half, which I suppose was necessary. Entirely worth laughing at while drinking a bottle of wine and, in my case, soaking one's hair in home-made lightening stuff. Which does not appear to have had an appreciable effect on my hair, but whatever. I really ought to get used to the fact that nothing that isn't bleach is going to really make much of a difference, and I have objections to bleaching my hair. Alas. I'll continue dousing it with chamomile, lemon and such, though, because drat it, I don't get as much sun as I used to, and I don't want to lose the lighter bits in my hair.

Oh, fridayfive:
1. At the end of today, do you think you'll feel spent or refreshed?
Probably spent, though I hope to go out to the pub tonight, so maybe that'll put a little bit more on the "refreshed" end of things.

2. Do you like back rubs?
Yes dear god please where can I sign up? My back has not been happy with me lately.

3. When did you last mislead someone?
Hmmm... Not actually sure.

4. What color are your eyes?
Blue with a bit of grey-green.

5. Friday fill-in:
What is this, a freebie? Okay... I'm beginning to seriously hate being single. No... scratch that... not just beginning. Just plain hate.

and the rumor mill rushes

I had entirely forgotten how strange it can be to be in a currently running fandom. All the rumors and spoilers and panicking... yeesh.

For the record, I find Creepy Guy from "Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood" a somewhat improbable choice to replace Tennant when the time comes, but... I've been wrong before. Personally I wish they'd pick someone older and a bit less conventionally attractive... and am also somewhat disturbed by this show's tendency to do the "you've seen this person before, we know, but now he's someone else!" I know it's traditional Who practice, but... it kind of confuses me. I'm glad it happened with the people its happened with in the past, though, so... who knows?

I'm one of those obnoxious TV viewers who FEAR CHANGE, in case you hadn't noticed. o_O I've had a feeeew too many experiences with TV shows that were all "We're going to change things!" and then went into a tailspin of suck. Fortunately, with DW, that is intensely unlikely... but I'm still paranoid.
