Last night I watched the Eighth Doctor Movie, and I think it wasn't that bad. I think it was the equivalent of an 'okay' episode of New Who. I liked the Eighth Doctor, it made me want to read some of the Eighth Doctor books and listen to some of the audios. Grace was cool too. I thought the line, "I've finally found the right man, and he's an alien!" was just total and utter shit, but that's not the character's fault. It was a corny line put in a scene in which it made no sense, and was probably just put in there for use in ads, but the stupidity of it really bugged me.

The main problem was obviously, the Master. People who think John Simm, or even Ainley, were campier than Eric Roberts are crazy. The snake thing was just so silly. The fact that he could spit venom made me laugh. Especially when the Doctor and Grace run into a room and there are four security guards standing there completely covered in the Master's venom. Can you imagine how much venom he had to hawk up for that? Christ that's disgusting. And hilarious. If someone who could actually act had played the Master, and if the whole snake thing was taken out, the movie would have been sooo much better.


I'm procrastinating at the moment. I finally figured out what I'm going to write for my Intellectual Traditions paper, so now that everything is so simple and it will be so easy to write, I can't be bothered to actually write it. It's due on Tuesday, so my brain is like, "You can do it tomorrow! Chillax!" And I totally agree.

"I always dress for the occasion."

Hands down the cheesiest line said by Eric Roberts. I laugh every single time.
