I watched a number of movies this weekend--Death at a Funeral, Vampires Suck, Sex and the City 2, Green Zone and Killers. I don't think I really liked a single one of them. DaaF was probably the one I was least put off by but I don't know if I LIKED it. There was just a lot going on. I was disgusted by SatC2, honestly. I loved the first one, hated the second. The rest were pretty boring. I'd have liked Killers if the script wasn't so up and down. The concept had potential, for sure.

It's a gorgeous day here, finally. There are menfolk on the roof, putting down new shingles and I finally have a window again. It's weird how quickly you gets used ot change without realizing it. Now that I have the window back it's a little weird but I love it. I can finally see out. I missed the leaves growing fuller on the trees over the past few weeks and it's now almost totally summer.

It is SO frustrating how long it takes for my caps to upload on a Saturday.

Saw the A-Team last night --no really big spoilers )

I watched and capped "Vincent and the Doctor" last week but I didn't have time to sort and upload them as I was having people over. It's been a week so I won't cut my reactions to it.

LOVED IT. It was a gorgeous episode that made me cry and from the few episode reactions I saw afterwards I gather that was the general concensus from most viewers.

The story was awesome and I felt bad for the monster, as well as Van Gogh. The ending was simply wonderful and all the characters were fun and light and melancholy. The colouring on the episode was also wonderful. The graphics I've seen come out of the episode have been lovely.

I'm so late with these but I'm having trouble focusing on too much tonight so I thought I'd type up some thoughts on the last few movies I've seen while I'm watching spill.com reviews of them.

District 9 )

Funny People )

Halloween 2 )

One of the BEST movies I've seen this summer? The Hurt Locker. Awesome, awesome. Great suspense, gripping look at the characters, heart wrenching. Loved it.

AHAHAHAHA

The Spill.com people did a review of Friday the 13th.

I have to disagree with their review out of pure loyalty to Jared, of course, but damn if it isn't funny. I love their reviews.



And just for shits and giggles because I just about pissed myself watching this (EVERY TIME) here's their review for Twilight. I don't think I posted this before, but who knows?

oh, fuck me

Someone on my flist warned last night about the spoiler at [livejournal.com profile] ohnotheydidnt and I didn't go last night. But today being TODAY, I went.

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

I don't know how major this spoiler is in the grand scheme of things since I'm totally in the dark about what's to come but it seemed kinda fucking huge to me. Please do not comment as to the scale of the spoiler, if you know what it is.

*sigh* Lamesauce.

Anyway. I wanted to wash Edward yesterday but since everything's melting hardcore around here and I'm driving through massive ruts and giant puddles there's no point. Sad because he needs a scrub badly. All this warmer weather we've been having here is so misleading because it's only the beginning of February. We still have at least another month of hardcore winter, and that's an optimistic estimate.

Saw Push last night. It was okay. Visually appealing, very colourful. I'd rent it but I don't know if I'd buy it.

It's been years since I've seen The Fast and the Furious in its entirety.

And now that I'm watching it now...

I see now why people ship Vin Diesel and Paul Walker's characters in it. If I could work up more creative gumption I might even want to write a one-off about them. Literally and literally.

Watched The Hitcher earlier tonight. Was better than I thought it was going to be although there was still that issue of LOGIC that a lot of thriller/horror movies seem to suffer from. Sophia Bush was, as always, gorgeous.

Happy birthday, [livejournal.com profile] avioletmermaid!

Holy ballsac, y'all. I'm watching the remake of Day of the Dead and it's SO BAD. I'm only a half hour in and it's terrible. I know some people don't put much stock into zombie movies but I LOOOOOOOOOVE them and after the remake of Dawn of the Dead in 2004 (which is SO AWESOME OMG) I was jazzed to hear about this one. But, as it turns out, not so much with this one after all. For example stylistic choice spoiler ) Mena Suvari doesn't inspire much confidence in me as an army official.

This isn't an official new community announcement but [livejournal.com profile] good_cw_icons will be open like- any second. [livejournal.com profile] spuzz and I are mods right now but I'll need a third to balance the application post properly. If you're interested leave a comment and we can talk.

Thinking about making another moodtheme. Any suggestions?

This poll is something I've been thinking of lately. I'm really interested to hear about people's thought process when they use icons or resources. I've seen some people use my icons and resources without commenting, although some people credit, and I have to admit, it bothers me to some extent because it's nice to know who's using your stuff, you know? I, personally, ALWAYS comment and credit whenever I take anything so I'm curious to what other people think and where they stand on the commenting/crediting thing. Is it akin to reading a fic and not leaving a comment? Or is it something else?

There's no judgment here with any of your answers, obvs, I'm just really, seriously interested about the answers.

Dear Katie Cassidy:

Oh, good lord. *facepalm*

The things I do for you. Plz to be picking better movies in the future. Kthx.

Less love than usual,

PEE ESS- my icon picker chose this icon quite fittingly because you MUST have had a gun to your head to do that movie.

ALRIGHT. I just got back from the movies. I saw August Rush. I have a review of August Rush. If you don't want to be spoiled for pretty much every plot point and/or still want to see the movie after you read this, step away now.

I was going to write up this big thing about it but I said it all in chat and it pretty much explains all my... feelings on it.

I really wanted to love this movie, I did! )

Ugh

Jesus Christ. I just finished watching Blood & Chocolate.

OH MY GOD.

THEY RUINED THE WHOLE FUCKING THING. Words cannot describe how absolutely FUCKED UP that was. I read the book ages ago. Like- 12 years ago, maybe? I don't remember now. I LOVE THAT BOOK. LOVE IT. I didn't bring my copy when I moved so I've been meaning to buy a new one and now I'm not so sure I want to just because I'm so absolutely disgusted with the way the film makers ruined the whole thing. Except for the fact that the characters in the movie had the same as the ones in the book and they were werewolves- NOTHING WAS THE SAME.

I haven't been this angry over a movie since... First Daughter, probably. I mean, I didn't like Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire because it's my favourite book out of the series and they basically raped the plot for the movie, it was very boring with the way it was shot and the look and just- everything. I still have it on dvd, though, and I can appreciate what the writers had to do to cut it down and stuff, so it's cool. But for this? For Blood & Chocolate? I'm seriously SEETHING.

In other news, I finished the first series of Skins. By the end of it Sid was one of my favourite characters (once he finally started stepping up to people), Tony was kind of 'meh' but I appreciated him more after the Effy incident, I like Michelle, Angie's kind of grating and as a result I don't really like Chris all that much and Cassie's fun. I'm not all over Cassie but she's okay. I like the way she dresses. Everyone else is just kind of there. Now I can go peeking into communities and entires other people have made on it without their opinions changing mine as I'm watching. It's a fun show.

Now, where's the best place to get caps? *eyes [livejournal.com profile] turnyourankle*

For the 98.5% of SPN fandom that's sane? *chucks you on the chin gently* For the other 1.5%? *beats you down like the red-headed step-children you are* Unfortunately, a little crazy goes a long way.

I know I have comments to attend to and people to friend back and everything and I'm going to focus on that soon. I hope. I tentatively promise. I suck. :|

To the person who gave me the red rose along with everyone else who's so awesome in fandom- thank you. You pretty much made my day. *smooshes you*

Heeeeeey

I saw 300 last night )

So today (yesterday now, but whatever) marked 10 years since Buffy the Vampire Slayer premiered on the teevee. Oh, Buffy. My first fandom. I watched Buffy from the VERY beginning, meaning the movie. I loved the movie. I STILL love the movie, in fact. And then I heard of the TV show and my mom and I started watching and followed it for seven years. Well, me more than my mom but she'd watch it, too. Today the series, for me, ends with season 5 as was Joss' original vision for it. While my favourite episode ("Conversations with Dead People") is in season 7 and there were a couple other episodes I really liked in those last two seasons for me "The Gift" is the finale.

I didn't actually discover "fandom" until season 7 when I stumbled across fanfic and icons and PEOPLE. And then began my descent into madness. I met the people who would become the Fcukers (in a different incarnation, but the core people are still the same), wrote some bad fanfic, made some bad icons and started to hate Sarah Michelle Gellar and, in turn, Buffy as a character. I've distanced myself from the show enough now over time and emotionally that I've started to re-watch the series. I stalled at the end of season 2 but all the Buffy nostalgia posts on my flist today makes me want to keep going. And I've been jazzed for the Buffy comic season 8 that's coming out this week, I think.

It was a good time for me, during the run of that series.

I do have a question about River's role in the movie, however. Just need some clairification... )

But yeah, LOVE. And icons. Maaaaaany icons.

We also had the scavenger hunt dinner tonight. It was at a really fancy restaurant. :| :| We're from the Empire. You do the math. We REALLY didn't belong there. But it was fun and I'm sure we drove our server crazy, so it was a successful night.
