heystasaJames Van Der Beek has a really deep voice. He doesn't sound at all like Dawson did. :(
And yes, I am half watching Medium at the moment (despite not particularily liking it) because tonight is a night for guilt free TV watching, as I have finally FINISHED MY STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE ESSAY!!! Booyah!
Now there's just the National and Transnational Cinemas essay due on Monday (which I will probably give myself a few extra days for, because dude, those questions are just scary) and I will have free time again! Which will be spent in part watching Dragonball, finally, goddamit. (anyone who wants to join is more than welcome, btw)
On a related note, my tutorial class for Literature and Cinema (the course that studied A Streetcar Named Desire in week 2) has gotten into the habit of hollering "STEEEEELLLLAAAHHH!" whenever they want me to do something (which this week involved acting out a scene from Oedipus Rex. I was Oedipus. I haven't done drama since year five and they throw me into Oedipus).
It is fantastic.
(Whenever people ask me if I mind the "STEELLAAAA!" thing, I reply, "no, I love it!"
What I don't often add though, is, "And honey, I could totally handle Marlon Brando in a ripped shirt hollering out for me like his life's depending on it, ooookaaay."
[philkensebben] Ha ha, lechery for the sake of irony! [/philkensebben])

Aaaanyway, the other day I watched some Dawson's Creek randomly... and seeing him as a normal teenager? Very, very weird.
...
Yeah. I'm done. c:

However, heh, poor James Van Der Beek. No matter what role he plays I think he's always going still to be Dawson to most people. (even though he's changed more than almost every other former cast member of that show)
STEELLAAAA!

Date: 2009-04-25 02:38 pm (UTC)Thursday will probably be the best day for me too, actually. My only worry though is that, by then, the screening times will be more limited (Broadway's already only showing it in the mornings), but given how many cinemas there are to choose from around here hopefully it won't be a problem. I'll let you know when I'm done with my essay and we'll work it out. :D
