Fling Your Nostalgia At Me Please?

[sophieisgod]

This series of Skins is really on a roll now, y/y? I thought this was a really lovely episode, and it really consolidated my love for JJ and Emily in particular. Seriously, EMILY! She got awesome really quickly; I greatly approve of her "want me back" bravery and quest for honesty. And I really liked the JJ/Effy scene; it felt like an acknowledgement of the "everyone loves Effy!" curse that's plagued this season, and there was a nice balance between her liking that because it gets her shit, and her despising that and despising everyone else because of it, because nobody really knows her at all.

Freddie is a tosser. I'm really sad that Cook/Pandora was not a lovely one-time thing. I love that Cook has Chris' old room. LOVE all the Debussy. And I thought the last shot of the episode was lovely; the whole episode we've heard how JJ wants to be 'normal' for his mum, and then she finally gets to see him being adorable with Emily, and the tears! MEEP.

I finally got around to watching Vicky Cristina Barcelona, and there's no point cutting my reaction because it goes like this: MY ALL-TIME NUMBER ONE FOREVER GIRL CRUSH REBECCA HALL, YOU ARE DIVINE. JAVIER BARDEM, YOU ARE HOT LIKE BURNING (the girl only knew him from No Country For Old Men and had to be convinced re: his hotness. JOB DONE). PENELOPE CRUZ, HOW SO FIERCE? SCARLETT JOHANNSON... NICE HAIR. Also, I really badly want to go back to Barcelona.

I'm still ploughing through my Empire Records fic for reel_merlin, and it would be great if you guys could fill out this poll so I've got a few extra bits of nineties nostalgia in my arsenal, just for ~flavour~ and shit.

I FEEL LIKE YOU WIL SYMPATHISE WITH ME WHEN I SAY THIS. Thanks to Easy Academy... I may or may not be caught in the middle of a downward spiral of love for The Brethern Jonai. Nicholas in particular and I RESISTED FOR SO LONG. I feel so weak for caving and I always kind of hated them before and I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME. UM, HELP?

Ahhh, the shame spiral. There's no hope. JUST EMBRACE IT, MY FRIEND. YOU WILL GET NO HELP FROM ME, ONLY ENABLING (http://delicious.com/sophieisgod/fandom%3AJoBros).

Nicholas is the best, by the way. HAIR!
