Awesome Piano Music: Fringe vs The X-File themes (and the Tamil film industry)
Dudes!
http://torley.com/the-fringe-equation-new-piano-performance-of-that-theme
This is a Fringe fan playing the theme on his piano, but working in the theme from the Fringe episode where that boy is trying to work out an equation through a piano piece and parts of the X-Files theme, filtered through the influence of Philip Glass. <3
And that's all I really have to say about Fringe right now. Which is odd since I really like it and keep wanting to write like, episode reactions and stuff. But so far, I'm happy just watching and hoping it doesn't disappoint me by turning out to be all about Peter instead of all about Olivia and Walter. I'm kind of in love with the fact she's canonically fearless (or should I say canonically unable to be paralysed by fear), but I still wish there were fewer standalones and more Olivia.
In other news, yesterday I went to see a Tamil action movie (think Bollywood movie; I'm not really sure if it is or isn't appropriate to group those film industries together). The clerk at the ticket desk LIED TO US and told us it had subtitles, which it didn't. But we watched it anyway and it was entirely awesome. The plot seemed to centre around a middle-aged chubby dude with an awful beard who smokes cigars (above little white subtitles that declare that "smoking is injurious to health") and who everyone thinks is so cool and handsome the world is about to explode, probably because he spent the entire movie fucking people up in his mad quest to save his brother who is being held hostage in some kind of evil day spa where everyone rides around on segways. Seriously, this day spa is horrific; they roast people alive in a giant microwave while simultaneously microwaving chicken for dinner. So anyway, our intrepid hero saves his brother before being double-crossed by said brother and his other brother and shot in the back twice and left for dead. And then his girlfriend is either on drugs or being drugged and he has to kill one brother, and then they're like, wandering around Paris with a bizarre dude who appears to be there to a) provide comic relief and b) get framed for the murders committed by our intrepid hero. Anyway, he kills his other brother in the big action ending, and then he ends up with the chick that I thought he was really annoyed with the whole time and doesn't end up with the chick I thought was his girlfriend who he just busted his ass to save.
AND ALSO THERE WAS DANCING.
Seriously. That shit was bananas and I thoroughly recommend it. I think it was called Aasal.

IN THE MEAN TIME: you should totally make me vids (but not that any that involve Walter 'shippage, because that's creepy). ;)

Also I may have yet again found myself on the wrong side of a shipping divide by deciding that I ship Astrid/Peter *facepalm* WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF?!
You do bring up a great point about Abrams shows though. And I agree about Lost - that wasn't a show with a small core cast with a principal female lead. I shall cling to this!
IN THE MEAN TIME: you know me too well. I already have an Olivia and a Walter vid bunny (both gen; dear lord, the idea of shipping Walter with ANYONE is frightening...). Or, you know, you could start making your own *prods*

Now I feel cheated (though a bit justified for not loving it to pieces). I still want the real one!
