Bought my wigs for Pepper Potts and r.r. (TDD/Sigerson Irene) today, at least. They should be here in a week or two—in time for the Iron Man premiere.
Aah man I really like a lot of things about Elementary—especially the characters, now that they dropped the Holmes-Watson antagonism thing—except for the cases, god damn.
(This seems like an important “except for.”)
And really is, like, I mean, just—god damn! Because I’ve been rewatching older episodes for canon review and whenever they stop bantering and move on to go solve something it’s like some switch gets flipped and everything becomes super generic: generic murders, generic robberies, blah. There are some episodes of Castle, for example, that I can watch a few times over without the cases getting old, but not so with Elementary. I think it’s something about the way the stakes are set up; I never really feel the tension, and I’m never on the edge of my seat. There are funny bits and dramatic bits within the cases, but not riveting bits. The only episode that was the exception to this, imo (or, to quote Sherry Holmes, “imltho”), was the one with Moran.
Anyway, I’ve had a few friends ask me if they should start watching Elementary—this is just something to keep in mind if you do. I do enjoy watching it, it’s just… that one thing that I don’t really know how to fix.
Fun with Alix from Yesterday
Me: Paula and I have a running joke where we speculate about Steven Moffat’s masturbation fantasies, but then she turns to me and says—wait, but you are Moffat.
Alix: I don’t know, I have a feeling your masturbation fantasies involve a lot more Jonny Lee Miller than Moffat’s.
Me: You don’t know that! You don’t know his life!!
Alix: [as Steven Moffat] *mimes jerking off* God, I fucking hate Elementary.

Wow! That sounds cool, I wanna see when it’s done. I need to see if you’re a better actress than me! hehe
I doubt I am! This is pretty different for me, since, save one exception years ago, I’ve only ever done plays. (Alix can tell you—the last play I was in, I was a forty-something dominatrix.) Anyway, it’s a pretty informal sort of project, and I don’t really look like a high school senior, although I’m going to get some help in that department. I’m as curious as you as to how it’ll all turn out! Most of the people involved with the project are new to filmmaking.
