Voyage of the Damned reaction post

[unfeathered]

OK, before I read what anyone else has said, my reaction:


Started off well, and intriguingly - I had read virtually no spoilers, not even seen a trailer, so I enjoyed the set-up. And David Tennant in a dinner suit. Oh yes. Very yummy. I think I fall in love a little bit more with Ten every time I see him.

And then it got mushy and sickly-sweet. And then there was the slo-mo bit which had me practically throwing up. And the ghost Kylie. (And I like Kylie but she was crap - not that there was much of a character there for her to do anything with.) The only good bit towards the end was Max whatshisname the baddie - he was funny.

So yeah. Not impressed. It had a lot of little amusing bits, which was right for a bit of fun on Christmas Day, but overall, definitely not one I'm going to be coming back to again and again.


As for real life, Happy Christmas, one and all! Hope you've all had a fabulous day!

Kylie was a bit rubbish really, wasn't she?

Did you have a good day today?

[unfeathered]

Yes to both. :-)

I was a little disappointed, I have to admit. Ten was great but the rest of it was pretty much pants, to my mind.

And yeah, today was good. Got a bit stressed over all the food I had to prepare in the morning, but got it done and just made it upstairs to change before parents got here! And after that everything went very smoothly. Jack had a great time. And I had some happy moments. I just... it was OK, you know? But I used to love Christmas but this year I couldn't really drag up much enthusiasm.

Still, I think I did very well managing to stay away from my computer (pretty much) until everyone had gone! I'm proud of myself! *g*

We've got family stuff all day tomorrow, too, so will be out most of the day. :-(

I really loved it, for some reason. I just... it was fun, and emotional, and I loved Ten and it didn't have any of the flaws I was afraid it would have. I'm happy with it!

Christmas is generally a bit underwhelming now. Lots of effort and then... it's over and I'm left wondering what the point was. Once you stop being a kid, you find yourself doing Christmas for kids, and it's a bit draining. But. Well done for avoiding the computer!

Have fun tomorrow! I will be working. Who on Earth goes out shopping on boxing day?

Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it! It was fun and I enjoyed it while it was still light-hearted. But it got a bit soppy and overly-dramatic towards the end.

Who on Earth goes out shopping on boxing day?

Lots of people, apparently! We never have. We've always had two whole days of family. Which normally I love. Oh well. I'll be too busy to worry about it, most of the day, I expect! :-)

And I'll be at work on Thursday...
