Day 24 – Whatever Tickles Your Fancy

This video seems appropriate for the following questions:



Day 25 – Favourite Who Actor

Do you even go here?



Day 26 – Favourite Who Actress

Okay this one is actually a bit more challenging, because I feel like I have relatively equal amounts of love for all of them, and yet I have not actually gone to great lengths to see any of them in other things so no one really wins by default.

Billie Piper & Catherine Tate

I was really committed to finding a picture of them together okay.


I think I am probably equally fond of both of them in different ways. Billie Piper is gorgeous, but Catherine Tate gets props for being a successful female comedian. I have a huge girl crush on Billie Piper, but I want to be Catherine Tate. One day I plan to watch Secret Diary for Billie, but I might even watch that Gulliver's Travels movie for Catherine.

And I consider both of them to be good actresses -- Billie can cry like nobody's business, but then Catherine is the only one who's made me cry.

So uh... tie!


Don't worry Freema ilu2. Once I watched an entire half hour of Law and Order: UK just for you! AND YOU NEVER SHOWED UP. >(

And having said all this, I do feel I ought to give credit to Karen Gillan and Matt Smith for being probably 60% of the reason I liked series 5 as much as I did. It's not even that I think they're fabulous actors (although I don't think they're terrible either); they're just so enthusiastic and sweet and seem to be having a blast, which endears them to me a lot. I wish I liked Amy Pond as much as I like Karen. If the idea of hearing Moffat speak didn't horrify me so much I might even have considered watching the Confidentials.



In conclusion, I LOVE EVERYONE. I would gladly watch movies with any of these people.

Maybe even you, John Barrowman.

I did not see that one! That is okay, I like knowing there are things he has been in that I have not watched because it makes me feel less creepy.

BUT WE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO PAY. WE COULD'VE JUST... GONE. lol Eccleston.

I mean G I Joe looked awful though, to be fair, it wasn't just him.

I would actually recommend St T's 2 for non-Tennant related reasons. Well, I think I would - it might be some of the jokes and stuff are very English and not-English people wouldn't get it very well. St Trinian's is like... a UK institution.
Kali_thirty2flavors on August 6th, 2010 04:34 am (UTC)
Yes I have never heard of it outside the realm of things-I-have-heard-people-mention-because-of-David-Tennant.

St Trinian's is an all girls boarding school, and I think it started out as a comic. Basically it was a bit of a caricature of UK private boarding schools with the girls doing things like causing explosions. The really-short-skirt schoolgirl costume sort of originated/became popular (in the UK at least) due to St T's. Having been to a UK boarding school, it's... closer to reality than most people expect. The movies basically involve things like the girls hunting for treasure to get it before the baddies. I've not got a clue what it's like for people who are not familiar with the culture, but I rather enjoyed both films.

I SEE. Yeah I was previously unaware of its existence. AMAZINGLY, IT TURNS OUT NOT EVERY ASPECT OF BRITISH CULTURE CAN BE LEARNED THROUGH HARRY POTTER AND DOCTOR WHO. This was quite a shock when I first discovered it.
Opal: PiC: Adipose in sinkshinyopals on August 6th, 2010 05:05 am (UTC)
WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE?

St T's is like... if 50% of Hogwarts was Fred and George.
Kali: hp :: who could be behind this!!!_thirty2flavors on August 6th, 2010 05:12 am (UTC)
I mean, imagine how little I would know WITHOUT Harry Potter or Doctor Who!

HOW WOULD YOU COPE?

YOU'D HAVE TO GET A TOKEN BRITISH FRIEND.

... WAIT.
Kali_thirty2flavors on August 6th, 2010 05:32 am (UTC)
BUT HOW WOULD I HAVE MET YOU WITHOUT DOCTOR WHO?

RIDDLE ME THAT, OPAL.

I MEAN I WOULDN'T BE FRIENDS WITH FRANCES EITHER

MAYBE I WOULD SPEND MY NIGHTS DOING PRODUCTIVE THINGS INSTEAD OF REFRESHING MY FLIST

or maybe I would be writing Sam/Dean porn

THIS COMMENT THREAD IS JUST LIKE TURN LEFT BUT WITH LESS PEOPLE DYING.

LOL. I OFTEN THINK IF I PUT AS MUCH EFFORT INTO MY STUDYING AS I DO FANDOM, I WOULD HAVE A PHD AND HAVE ACTUALLY INVENTED A TIME MACHINE BY NOW. POSSIBLY THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE DESTRUCTION OF THE UNIVERSE, SO MAYBE MY INTEREST IN DOCTOR WHO HAS SAVED US ALL.

Or, yeah, I would be into BSG or something. Or Lost. Lost could have worked.

IF I COULD MAJOR IN HARRY POTTER AND MINOR IN DOCTOR WHO I WOULD BE SET. I COULD'VE HAD MY DEGREE AGES AGO.
Opal: TEoT: Master SHINE ONshinyopals on August 6th, 2010 05:51 am (UTC)
A DEGREE IN DOCTOR WHO WOULD BE AWESOME. THAT WOULD HAVE HAD ME SET FOR LIFE. I MEAN, IT SEEMS LIKE "WHO FAN" IS A LEGITIMATE CAREER OPTION IN THIS COUNTRY AFTER ALL. AND I COULD BE A GRADUATE WHO FAN.
Kali: dw :: ten/rose :: domestics_thirty2flavors on August 6th, 2010 05:52 am (UTC)
I THINK I WOULD HAVE TO MINOR IN IT BECAUSE I WOULD NOT WANT TO STUDY THE CLASSICS.

BUT I KNOW THE WHOLE HARRY POTTER UNIVERSE PRETTY WELL SO THAT COULD BE MY MAIN FOCUS.

AND THEN I COULD IDK GIVE PRETENTIOUS LECTURES AT CONS.
