I love the Doctor slagging off the Alexander film.
Did you not like it either? I loved the dialogue, how I understood so much of the context, history, politics, etc. But the actors really killed it for me. I just couldn't picture them in their roles. They didn't fit. I didn't look at Farrell and see Alexander. And don't even get me start in on Jolie. So, yeah, the Doctor was expressing my feelings. [grumbles about stupid emo Farrell tarnishing Alexander's rep.]
I wanted this to be fun. It had to be fun. I suck at anything else.
I can't tell you how glad I am that the sordid history spiel that the Doctor gives is working! [pumps the air in glee] I wanted to fit so much stuff in (this is soooo tame) but visions, conspiracy, rape, and infanticide would have made this more depressing, no?
Thanks for commenting, it's gives me the tingles. And allows me to babble at a somewhat receptive audience. [points up] Like so. (Like Ten.)
