Having seen Captain America again (hey, shut up, I'm ficcing, so this is research, okay?) I have even more thoughts. Also, on reviewers.

( Spoilers! )

So, the more I think about this movie, the more I like it (I talked some more in Selenak's journal)  yet despite having thought for four days straight, I still notice more. This one is so obvious I'm kind of facepalming that I didn't see it sooner.

"How can we tell the bad guys from the good guys?" Sam asks in the trailer, and Cap answers, "If they' ( Read more... )

Thoughts while watching Lie With Me AKA "if Eric Balfour's going full frontal I don't care if it only has 38% on RottenTomatoes, I want to see it":

( Cut for vague spoilers and sexual topics. )

I've seen so many movies these past few days that I thought I'd talk a little about them.

Most recent was Tangled, which I tried to rent online, but the connection messed up (I really must learn to stop trying these methods, they may be legal but they SUCK) so I had to pick it up elsewhere.

One thing I learned Wednesday I forgot to tell you: The brain's reward system really likes alcohol up to 0,5‰ = 1 glass of wine per 100 pounds of person. After that, the reward system is full, and drinking more won't make you happier. (Unless of course your real goal is to black out and forget the whole night ( Read more... )

So, new Star Trek trailer. One one hand, it does look pretty cool. OTOH, talk about gender FAIL.

Which reminds me - as you know, I'm trying to watch 100 movies in a year, meaning roughly 8 movies a month (or more, since I'm behind). I try to have a good mix of simpler fare and critically acclaimed stuff. And while watching The Shawshank Redemption ( Read more... )

I forgot one happy thing yesterday, mostly because I try not to think about it in fear of jinxing it.

My dad guides trips to Istanbul twice a year, and most of the time my mom comes along. She doesn't want to go in February, though, and dad invited me to come instead. :-) The company has no problem with this ( Read more... )

An update on Spike, since so many of you have been helpful: We've been to the vet. The test results aren't back yet, but I've put him on a special diet and cystease (urinary health pills), and there hasn't been an accident in a few days - not that that means anything. In either case, I have decided not to make any irreversible decisions at this ( Read more... )

roseveare has mentioned repeatedly how she can't quite understand how anyone could have a crush on a cartoon character. Eventually, it made me decide to make a top list of all the cartoon characters I fancy ( Read more... )

killerweasel linked to the Hellboy 2 trailer, which was nice, but I was distracted by the name "Princess Nuala". Thought process:

"Nuala? But Hellboy's not in the same universe as Sandman... can't be the same Nuala. Can it? She doesn't look much like Nuala. Anyway, Nuala's brother is Cluracan, who's... not like that at all. Maybe she has two brothers? Yeah. ( Read more... )
