Off Topic / Re: 2017 Disney's Beauty and The Beast Live Action
« on: July 15, 2017, 08:35:16 PM »
Thought it was boring.  Everything felt dull and flat compared to the animated version, especially the musical numbers.  During "Belle" at the beginning, the energy was just gone from the whole sequence.  And some things that are charming in the animated version just don't work in live action (the whole thing with him sipping the soup is cute in the animated version, here it made me roll my eyes because it was so forced.) 

I like Emma Watson well enough, but I think she was miscast.  Everyone else seemed to be just trying to imitate their counterparts in the animated movie, which I guess is fine considering they wanted a scene for scene, line for line remake. (Yes I know there were some differences here and there; it wasn't enough.)

But that's me. :/  I watched the animated movie a lot growing up because it was my sister's favorite.  I wasn't even going to bother with this but curiosity got the better of me.  I'm glad I didn't pay to see it in the theater.

Off Topic / Re: Game of Thrones countdown (no season 7 spoilers!)

They are totally off book now - they have been largely off book since sometime in Season 5, at least with certain characters.  They let Dany cool her heels in Mereen forever so the rest of the plotlines could catch up/be condensed or cut completely.  They covered some stuff from A Dance With Dragons in Season 6 (as well as doubling back to cover some stuff from A Feast for Crows that they had originally skipped).  I wouldn't put much stock into these last two seasons resembling the future books at all, except for the final outcome.

I can't wait!  I am eager to see where they take the story seeing as all the important characters will finally be on the same continent, haha.

I'm typically right on the dot or little late for everything, especially now, when paired with my husband.  Even work :/  Luckily we have a 5 minute grace period, although in his department that pretty much amounts to nothing (they are stricter than the department I work in).   I used to be slightly early/right on time for most everything on my own.

Thanks to the event I finally got Venusaur...and I'm only 8 candy away from Sunflora.  Still a lot to go on Meganium, but I'm closer at least.

These last few weeks have definitely slowed down for me in game.  Not making much progress now unless I'm walking a buddy (and most of the ones I have left are going to take FOREVER) or unless there's an event going on.  I hope whatever the next big update is (whenever it gets here) is something that'll keep it interesting...

I can drive if I need to, but my husband and I only have one car (and work at the same company)so he does most of the driving.  In fact I just drove our new-ish car (bought last October) for the first time only a few weeks ago, LOL.

Anyone else playing Mass Effect: Andromeda?  I'm enjoying most of it, although it's a bit tedious in places.  I'm almost to the final mission, just have some side quests to wrap up first.  I play on casual because I like the story more than the combat, but I don't find the combat as difficult as in the original trilogy....except maybe those
Spoiler
damn Remnant architects.
  So maybe the scaling is better, haha.  And I love being able to JUMP, haha. 

Spoiler
One of the parts I enjoy the most is the character dynamics and the "romance" thing, as silly as it is.  I'm romancing Jaal, the big purple Angaran, LOL. He's such a dorky sweetheart. If I ever play again, I'll probably go with Vetra, haha.
