So much pretty, so little time
Hurray the month of work hell is over! It wasn't too bad since I managed to escape last weekend for much ogling!
So Friday night, titti & I went to see Picnic with Mr Pouty-Lips Stan, and we were in the second row, and holy shit is that man beautiful! He was like ten six feet away from us at one point where his character is being all broody and emo, with his artfully torn shirt displaying a very pretty nipple, and I'm pretty sure I whimpered. Audibly.
Ellen Burstyn was fabulous, and Mare Winningham was good too, except I kept waiting for her to talk about making "the best damn peanut butter and jelly sandwich I ever had." Sebastian Stan could totally stand in for Rob Lowe! What? Maggie Grace is very pretty, but the only time she and SS had any real chemistry was when they were dancing. titti and I would have been more than happy to show her how to kiss him properly! :-P
It's a very dated play, which I knew going in, having seen the William Holden/Kim Novak movie with my mom a bunch of times when I was a kid. Still, Sebastian can call me baby anytime! We saw him very briefly after the show when he was getting into a cab on 8th Avenue. I didn't even notice him at first in his funky hat. titti had to point multiple times because I thought she was pointing to something across the street. Oops?
Saturday I met up with bethbethbeth and musesfool for 3-D fun with Jeremy Renner! (And I got comics and chocolate cupcakes and a little Hawkeye tattoo!) Now, if anyone, having seen the trailer, expects Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters to be, I don't know, a cinematic masterpiece ...
That said, the movie was fucking awesome! Hahahahaha! For certain values of awesome of course! First, the movie does not in any way take itself seriously. Not even a little bit. Second, Jeremy Renner was hot, and it was lovely to watch him get dragged through trees and bushes, and shoot things, and Gemma Arterton was ass-kicking and awesome. There was a bit of gore, but I just closed my eyes for the really nasty bits. Also, the movie TOTALLY ships H&G like whoa!
This is the best review that I've found. It's very spoilery, but there really isn't much to be spoiled for if you know the Grimm fairy tale and watched a trailer. They grow up and hunt witches with anachronistic weapons, and there's your story pretty much in the nutshell. It's a made-for-fandom kind of movie, and not just because of the incest vibes, but because, as I mentioned (and as glvalentine repeats in her awesome review) the movie does not take itself seriously at all. (Also, the opening credits animation is pretty damn cool just on its own.) I totally recommend it. It's 90 minutes of fun, but don't bother with the 3-D, unless you have a thing for it.
I got a manicure today (after 6+ weeks! My nails were ridiculous!) and I had them cut them short, and now it feels weird to type because my fingertips can actually touch the keys. I got a pedi too, but I don't type with my toes. Still, they feel pretty nice too!
Aaaand, shaggydogstail gave me five questions to answer for that meme thingy, and here they are:
1. Tea or coffee?
Yes, please! Ok, so that's a bit of a cop-out, but I love both! If I really had to choose, it would have to be coffee, because tea is not the morning quicker picker-upper that coffee is for me. I drink coffee pretty much every morning, barring times like when I'm in the hospital and can't drink anything that isn't being directly injected into my veins. (And alas, they haven't invented the coffee IV yet.)
Tea is nice in the afternoons and evenings. I'm definitely a black tea person. I don't like anything floral or minty. Fruity is okay as long as it's mixed with a black tea. I do like some green teas though.
2. For your 5 minute cameo on Doctor Who you appear as...
Sir Not Appearing in This Film Episode? As long as I don't have to stuff an entire hamburger in my mouth or attack a roasted chicken (like the Master), I honestly wouldn't care, but I'd definitely demand some fun bantery dialogue with Eleven for sure! (Ok, I wouldn't want to be an Ood either, but I'd totally hang out with them!) I wouldn't mind being a space pirate. But a fun, adventuring one who solves mysteries and blows up bad guys. And I'd go and pick up Madam Vastra and Jenny and Strax because of course they would make the best crew ever!
3. What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow! (Unless of course it's my fic because I prefer happy shit to angsty woe. Because I'm a sap.) So for at least until tomorrow ...
(That song is a classic! ♥Burt Bacharach♥ Shut up!)
4. Would you rather be a fish or a bird?
Fish = food. I want to flyyyyyyyy away! with my boyfriend Hawkeye
5. What is your favourite item of clothing?
Hmmmm. I have a big, black, hooded sweatshirt that I've had for a good 15 years that I love because it is warm and snuggly. (I used to have this amazing black leather jacket that was soft as butter and broken in. It was my favourite thing ever, but it got stolen at a bar one night several years ago, and I never found another one I liked enough to replace it. *sigh* And now I don't want to spend the money. Heh.) Then again, I still miss my ridiculous fluorescent parachute-y material track suits and matching shorts, so, you know, fashion maven I'm not.
Alrighty then! If you would like five questions to answer, just ask.
And that's about it for now. I may try to write some porn for torino10154's Second Annual Porn Sunday, since the Giants aren't in the Superbowl and I'm not invested in either the 49ers or the Ravens, and will just be there for the commercials and the occasional glimpses of New Orleans. If I write what I'm thinking of writing, it could possibly be the porniest thing I've ever written.
