Romeo and Juliet

They had this trailer with Austenland. It's a logical fit, right? The thing is, as I'm watching and everything is so pretty and dialogue flows naturally and there's Ed Westwick...

I start kind of...

Wanting to see it...

Which makes me wonder whether there's something seriously wrong with me. I HATE Romeo & Juliet. This is one of those core elements that make who I am. I once had a college professor, a Doctor on the subject on Shakespeare, call my friend and I "jaded and cynical" because we elaborated on how it's a stupid play and Romeo and Juliet were idiots.

I start worrying that I'm growing too romantic as I'm getting older. What if I become that person crying over kitten photos and demanding to hold every baby in the vicinity?

My Mom: If they would just change the ending, I would definitely see that.

*phew*

It's not just me then.

Me: Plus, Chuck dies...

Chuck looks good with the long locks. Yum. I actually miss Gossip Girl. I never thought I'd admit to that. There were many times I thought of giving up on it but now, I look back on it fondly and miss almost everyone who was in it.

TV Stuff

After five minutes of Dads I switched to Iron Man 2 although I always get a little upset when watching the senate hearing scene and knowing Coulson is supposed to be in it, how Pepper suddenly disappears from the audience because she and Coulson went off together.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine was okay but I won't DVR or trouble myself to watch it again. Then, I watched New Girl and The Mindy Project. Both seemed a little uneven compared to past episodes. I turned back to Iron Man 2 just in time to see the Thor: The Dark World trailer...just after hour three starts if you're in a different time zone. I will definitely need to buy the DVD. Even if the movie totally sucks...which I can't see happening...everyone looks so damn pretty! They had this ad afterwards for the footage during Agents of SHIELD next week and Sif looked AMAZING! She had this golden glow and the battle armor like she was a war goddess.

Ooh, I forgot to tell you about Marvel's Avengers Assemble. No, I don't know what it'll be named in other countries in order to not be confused with the film. This is an animated series; the one that replaced Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

It's in the same continuity as Ultimate Spider-Man. I didn't like the first few episodes but it's grown on me although Mom and I still hate how they draw Thor and once again, Banner is the Hulk all the time. Anyway, look at this description of the very next episode!!!!!

Marvel's Avengers Assemble "Doomstroyer"
(11:30 AM – 12:00 NOON ET/PT)
Doctor Doom takes command of the Asgardian Destroyer armor and Thor has to convince the team to trust the one person who may be able to stop him, Loki!

I'm so excited. Awesome, they just showed the Agents of SHIELD featurette with Agent Coulson. Marvel does tend to make me happy.
