Just a continuation on various things I've been watching. It doesn't stop! Speaking of things that don't quit, everyone I know is getting married. I'm at that age where everyone around me is having a wedding. I will have been to 3 weddings this year, in which I'm a part of the wedding party for all three. And I'll be going for sure to 2 more early next year. It's rough when there's all this love in the air, lol.

Geezus, Gal Gadot is such a classic beauty. All of the close-ups of her were gorgeous. I quite enjoyed the ridiculous slow-motion posing during the action scenes. Also Ares lookin' like he came out of a Dark Souls game is amazing.
The Fault in Our Stars
It took me a looong time to watch this. I loved the book and genuinely cried while reading it (during Isaac's eulogy in particular). People have told me the movie just wasn't up to par, which is reasonable; it rarely ever is. But I finally got to seeing it and it was as people said. It was a decent movie, but just didn't incite the same feelings as reading the book. I did enjoy the little John Green cameo though.
Fate/Zero & Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works
What I love about this series is that it gives no damns for character deaths. Granted, I actually enjoyed the prequel a little more than UBW, just because there was more depth to the servants and their backgrounds. UBW was just a bit too high-schooly for me. But to sum it up: best recurring kill is choke death (everyone wanted to choke a bitch), best weapon Gae Bolg, best villain Gilly (Gilgamesh) -- he's just too beautiful, still holding out for Gilly and Saber's wedding. I don't know how Saber can say no. Thoroughly ate this entire thing up.
Hey, don't forget: I am the bone of my sword.
Forever
I recently rewatched this gem of a series. It's just a one season ABC show and one that totally deserved more than it got. I'm not alone with that either -- I have the show page liked on Facebook and every time it updates with a clip and "Watch it again streaming here" post, there is RAGE in the comments. It makes me laugh, but also sad 'cause I too want more. Anyway, it's about a medical examiner that has been around the same age for the last 200 years. Reason why, he can't die. When he does get shot or killed, he just wakes up again naked in a nearby body of water. His character is very Sherlock-ish in the way that he just knows a lot about everything, and the premise isn't really anything that hasn't been seen before. But I just love the characters. All of them are so charming and is the reason why it's so re-watchable. Totally recommended.
America's Next Top Model: Seasons 1-2
I can feel the judgment. But I saw all of it is up on Hulu and I decided to watch it from the beginning during lunch at work. And oh boy is all the drama so delicious. The staying power of fashion is quite amazing. A lot of the styles are still in (or were brought back) today, even though these episodes were in the early 2000s. Also, Tyra Banks doesn't age. She looks exactly the same hosting America's Got Talent today, what!
