Think you're quick enough?

What is it with the annoying ship "mash" names all sounding like food items? "Calzona" is probably the worst (totes a pizza), but I also find myself wanting to kick something whenever I see "Rizzles", because that's just dumb. It's like a cracker. Also, "Jemily". I can't help thinking of jam. Just...WHY?!

But whatevs. Uni is majorly kicking my ass at the moment, so I need something to take my mind off of things every once in a while. Cue to: movie consumption rising to epic proportions! It's a mystery how I even ended up watching The Quick and the Dead, but I did and was blown away by the hotness that is Sharon Stone. Or, rather, Sharon Stone in slacks, a cowboy hat and a pair of revolvers. THANK YOU, GOD.


The heroine, a kick-ass lady with a haunted past (I bet no one saw that coming) rides into town with style.










Yep, I was pretty much convinced already at this point.

Since this is, after all, a Wild West movie, smoking is obligatory. It is, pretty much, the most repulsive habit one can have, but damn, if she doesn't make it look hot as hell. Do it John Wayne style and I won't mind!







...yeah.

Next up: the walk of awesomeness to the saloon, kicking the owner off a stool for mistaking her for a whore (granted, without actually seeing her) and casually pouring herself a glass of whisky.







TPTB, you're too good to me. *weeps*

The daughter of the saloon owner is also totally crushing on the newcomer--hero worshiping much?--, which is so obvious throughout the whole thing. Too bad she's so young, now I just feel pervy for seeing it.

But lo, the woman has a vendetta against the ruling man of the town (seriously, what he made her do in the past is brutal), and in order to get to finish him off, she signs up for a gun drawing competition. She's the second coming of Anne Oakley, it seems.

All this, of course, leads to a whole lot of gratuitous gun!action.







Our heroine bands up with Russel Crowe's character and together they fight crime plan the demise of the evil boss of the town.







All this leads to the final show down between the evil boss and our woman of vendetta, and that show down is epic, you guys. The feminist in me rejoices.







Bad guy: You're not fast enough for me!
Our heroine: I am today.

Fierce.

The order is back again and all the baddies dead. All this done by Sharon Stone wearing a cowboy hat. Oh, yes.




THAT IS ALL, GUYS.

In other fandom news, Wednesday's Criminal Minds was crap (the most boring episode ever!), but next week's looks like it could bring about some serious LOLz, because what on earth? At least, more Emily scenes, plz?

Finally, Season 5 gag reel of How I Met Your Mother, because it's hilarious. And I don't even watch that show! Yes, that's how hilarious this is.
