grey matter's weird...

So I found some vids by lim about a month ago and they're completely amazing and some kind of wonderful, but, for some reason I seem to have latched onto a kind of odd one, really, all things considered.  I keep on watching My Brilliant Idea, which has I Could Be In Love With Someone Like You by Jason Robert Brown as music.

I guess it's just because it's so wonderfully ridiculous and fun and Rodney-esque - which really should explain everything, now, shouldn't it?  I watched Treed Murray a few weekends ago.   Which, you know, kind of contrived (also: my reception was kind of crappy) and I think that I'm in the process of developping a deep aversion to the portrayl of teens in film and television.  That said, all reviews I've stumbled on since have been pretty positive.
 

I'm kind of reminded of something I read in a Watterson collection, actually.  Having it put to him that Calvin was in a lot of ways not like a six year old he said something to the effect of never having himself felt childish.  Because we tend to put all of these thoughts and ideas into them, which is to say that we don't: we don't see children as real people.  The kids in the film weren't real to me: and that's my issue.  (I've been having trouble figuring that out properly.)

I've had another imdb brit-shock experience (only way I can think to describe it: running into the edge of a community - finding similarities between actors and the like, getting a sense of the interconnectedness of an acting community)  and part of that was watching Much Ado About Nothing (2005) and going "Don looks a bit like McKay... Derek Riddell was Sir Robert in Tooth and Claw.  Hee!"

...anyway:  you'll have caught on to the link between these paragraphs: I think it's some kind of disease.
