(Some very random things because I don't update enough.)
-I only recently realized that Chris Hemsworth and Liam Hemsworth are brothers (talk about a "duh" moment, I'd even seen them in pics hanging out together). I feel like I'm the only person who thinks Liam is hotter but that's probably just because my mental image of him is with brown hair like he had it in Hunger Games. Neither of them hit my type that hard anyway. Instead of swooning over Thor it's more like I want him to give me a bear hug.
-I'm starting to realize that I have this totally humbug aversion to pretty much any character in anything who is "the comic relief character," who barely ever utters a line that isn't supposed to be funny. I was like this even when I was a kid and would have this slight annoyance with all of the wise-cracking sidekick characters in every Disney movie (I may well have been the only child in the universe who thought Genie was an obnoxious attention whore); I think it was ingrained in me to feel that that character was "something for the kids" and I somehow felt pandered to by them and never got over that even when I was no longer a kid.
Recently it bothered me that this is basically what they did with Effie Trinket, cause in the book the humor of that character feels more like it's Katniss condescending to her rather than us somehow laughing with her in such a bizarre grim context (there were a good number of moments in the film that managed to be darkly funny, and I liked that, but...) "That table is mahogany!" became so meme for a while and it didn't get a laugh out of me at all. This makes me feel incredibly low on the fun scale, but I guarantee you that for all the humor that goes over my head there are lines and bits from movies I find extremely funny that nobody else really gets. *Kanye shrug* And BTW, I did read The Hunger Games (just the first one, not the whole series yet), I may or may not write some actual commentary about it one of these days.
-Everyone on Tumblr is freaking out about the Tiger & Bunny dub cast announcement and I can't care because I find most dub actors to be tolerable at best and have never been able to have opinions about them. Like, I'm happy when Steven Blum's voice shows up in something I watch out of pure nostalgia, but I don't think he's good. But I tend to be that asshole who is hardly ever impressed with actors, so.
-I don't understand how Godiva is one of those pricey brands of chocolate or how people think it's that good. It tastes like weird milky nothingness. If somebody said, "Surprise! You won all this free Godiva chocolate!" I would say thanks and then find a rodent to feed it to, or possibly a dog because I'm not convinced it's actually chocolate and the dog should be just fine. And this is stuff that costs five dollars a bar.
Brought to you by my annoyance that only Godiva was on sale at the fine chocolate section at Meijer today.
Somehow this has turned into one of those annoying unpopular opinion posts.
