there's no one who can beat Claude Rains.

turn on Turner Classic Movies. today is Claude Rains day. if you don't understand what the big deal is, you soon will.

i look forward to finally getting to see Mr. Skeffington and The Invisible Man!

okay. remember the silent Robin Hood i watched last night? well there's a part in it where Robin kills Guy of Gisbourne by pulling his throat to one side of a pillar and his leg to the other. he basically breaks his spine. it was amazing. incidentally, if silent movies are anything to go by, all villains are rapists.

shit that's happened since last time:

• 2011 STANLEY CUP CHAMP BRUINS!!! :D
• i'm 20 now (my period was kind enough to keep me company -_-)
• i'll be at the community college for another year
• there are 3 CDs that i need (i got SxDx. i need BFS and DKM)
• the closest record store is in Lake Park, turns out

since i went through pains to post this on FB, i figure i could throw y'all a copypasta.

holy CRAP. i just watched Arsenic and Old Lace because fucking Netflix doesn't carry Casablanca, History of the World Pt 1, or The Maltese Falcon and it was AMAZING. i haven't laughed that hard in... fuck, just watch the damn thing. you will literally lol, ah ( Read more... )
