So I finally got around to watching the director's cut of Watchmen. OH! Oh Rorschach! Oh Super-Raoul! Oh everyone! It was totally worth paying the ridiculously inflated price for the blu-ray simply for that bit where Dan beats the shit out of that dude in the pub and Rorschach - Rorschach! - has to tell him to calm the fuck down, and he's like, " ( Read more... )

I just got an email from Amazon advertising something called "Space Raoul", and for a second I actually thought it was the dude from Phantom of the Opera that wasn't the Phantom of the Opera havingt adventures in space, but it turns out it's just a comic by the dude who did Bear, and now I feel a bit sad but also like there is a whole untapped ( Read more... )

In honour of today being Rollo Weeks' birthday, I decided to celebrate with cake and the Thief Lord movie. And the first twenty minutes of Attila, after which I couldn't take any more of Powers Boothe chowing down on that lovely scenery and went to watch Phantom of the Opera instead. What? It's mask-themed ( Read more... )

Every time I hear someone speak with a Scottish accent, I get the urge to watch Phantom of the Opera. Which is weird, because although Gerard Butler is Scottish, he doesn't actually have a Scottish accent in that film (except, hilariously, in a couple of the more "emotional" scenes), and I do in fact own several films where he does have his normal ( Read more... )

A meme stolen from the most fantastically awesome Senkobunny:

1. Comment here and I'll pick one of your LJ interests and draw a picture using the mighty MS Paint.
2. You have no say in what I draw for you, or in how bad it will be!
3. Put this in your journal along with the pictures people drew for you.

( Awesomeness under the cut... )

Every time I watch Phantom of the Opera, I wonder why I didn't decide to watch it earlier. It's like, one of the most unintentionally hilarious movies I own. That scene after Christine performed "Think of Me" and Raoul goes to see her in her dressing room afterwards, and the Managers are all, "Shall we introduce you, winkwinknudgenudge?" and he ( Read more... )

Have just finished watching Angels in America, and my word, it was strange. Doesn't really help that my brain persists in thinking of Patrick Wilson as Raoul, and giggling quietly to itself at the image of Raoul as a slightly dopey but very adorable Republican Mormon. 'Cause seriously, did anyone else just want to pinch his cheeks and give him ( Read more... )

Those of you who are familiar with Escaflowne: Zaibach Strikes Back Stargate: Atlantis should all go here and download the most awesome music video known to man. Boy, those Wraith sure do love Pointy. For my part, although Bob definatly has the rugged bad-boy vibe down, with his dreads and manly strut and facial tattoos, Steve is the one I'd bring ( Read more... )

I take this opportunity to inform you of a matter of gravest importance to you and your loved ones:

That Star Wars Lego game for the Playstation 2? Rocks. I don't think I will ever get tired of making Darth Vader and Whinykin fight each other, or hearing that weird little orgasmic noise Padawan!Obi makes when you hit him with a lightsabre. And the ( Read more... )

Spent the past few days packing. How in the name of all that is good have I got fifteen boxes of books? I think they're breeding behind my back ( Read more... )
