["it's not a clips show."]
i'm not sure why asb, ashley and i decided to go see snakes on a plane - except for the fact that it was, well, snakes on a plane - given that all three of us are scared of snakes, and i particularly belong to the shriek and scale the furniture or the nearest available tall person indiana jones school of snake phobia. that said, it was a lot gorier and ... not over the top, just kind of more gratuitously gross than i expected. i know they bumped up the gore to bump the rating, but i spent a good portion of the movie peering at the screen through my fingers, because it was just too gross for me to deal with. plus the fact that it utilized the scariest thing about snakes omg, which is that THEY WILL JUST JUMP UP AND BITE YOU QUICKER THAN YOU CAN RUN AWAY, and i have to say, i didn't enjoy large chunks of the movie because of that.
THAT SAID. samuel l. jackson chewed the scenery like scenery has never been chewed before. there was a lot of intentional and unintentional excellent humor. the kid who was the witness was cute as hell. julianna marguiles did the best she could with a wretch script. and. you know. i enjoyed it.
when i wasn't being scared witless, that is. D+ for snakes scaring me, A+++ for best camp humor of the summer.
asb and i think that shanks and claudia are doin' it. WRITE US RPS. SMUTTY SMUTTY RPS.
sg-1 episode 200: the greatest piece of meta ever to be filmed for television. i laughed so hard i cried. i had to lie down on the floor and concentrate on remembering to breathe at various points. i frakking loved it. bravo, everyone.
and the single greatest meta moment inside the greatest meta episode of television ever? shanks playing browder playing crichton.
i read the spoiler for this yesterday - including the detail that originally, browder was slated to play, well, himself in the farscape bit , and a couple of weeks before filming started, shanks and browder asked to swap roles - and i laughed so hard at work that i stopped making noise, i just sat there with tears and snot running down my face, shaking and hyperventilating, and four coworkers asked if i was okay. earth has an awfully small gene pool. i do not understand how they got through filming that with straight faces, but i'm awfully glad they did, because it was brilliant.
minervacat: daniel finally got new glasses. vala sat on the last pair while they were fucking on the couch.
cam making gun noises and shooting people with his fingers! the scooby doo wavy lines! jack, invisible, snoring! jack, invisible, in sam's bathroom! jack, invisible, drinking coffee! jack, invisible, ringing! (noted: asb, now lying on the floor.) *HAS HYSTERICS*
aw, poor camshaft, not wanting to talk about jack!
SAM AS GLINDA! LANDRY AS OZ! TIN MAN AND COWARDLY LION AND SCARECROW! (awwww, vala.)
CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN GO BOOM!
browder as kirk! *falls over* BRAD!
... of course daniel watches the oc. ahahahahahahahahahha.
"think of something obscure." AND THEN IT'S FARSCAPE AND IT'S CLAUD AND IT'S OMG. *hyperventilates*
the mission report that cam hasn't read! jack o'neill fathering cameron mitchell! "are you saying that jack o'neill is ..." "... my daddy?" ahahahahahahahahaha. OMG. (cam is SO being punked.)
"you mean, something like this?" JAAAACK. *draws hearts* (in order, i love: vala, jack, daniel, camshaft, sam, teal'c. not that i don't love teal'c at all. just. you know. i love vala and jack o'neill A LOT.)
TEAL'C, PI. IN-DEED. *hip thrust*
daniel: "like you had unfinished business?"
minervacat: yeah, he hadn't finished fucking daniel yet.
(my mind was in the gutter ALL NIGHT. don't ask about the comment i made involving ben browder's face.)
LINES I LOVED:+ "did you say slightly ridiculous?"
+ "it allegedly performed well on dvd."
+ "you just throw up the title and get on with it."
+ "how am i supposed to tell a story without my lead character?" "easy. just bring in a character to replace him."
+ "one, that's star trek, and two, that's ridiculous."
+ "i do not understand why everything in this film must inevitably explode."
+ "i don't think mitchell likes me anymore."
+ "i have the highest security clearance known to mankind!"
+ "i don't think anyone will see this coming." "no, they will, they all read spoilers."
+ "you know, if she doesn't show, people are going to think that you and i are ..." "what?" *draws hearts*
+ "i don't have the right outfit!" "you look fine."
+ "he just kind of ... phoned it in for the last season."
BEST EPISODE EVER. \o/
you know, after 200, sg:a could have been 42 minutes of kavanagh reading the phone book, and i wouldn't have cared, and despite the fact that it wasn't: torii was excellent, and honestly, i really enjoyed this. rda was smart, torii was incredibly strong with a script that was heavy on her exposition. the whole thing was fantastic.
OH JACK. *draws hearts* "except that it was a fairly mediocre donovan song."
she really looks beautiful in this episode; um, mental hospital pajamas really flatter her?
if major general jack o'neill's head tries to spin off his body? you're not actually in a mental hospital.
if the nurse doesn't stick around to watch you take your meds? you're not actually in a mental hospital.
awwwww, john. "don't let 'em get to you." it's like, "buck up, carson!" john is really bad at motivation and comfort. it's really sort of retardedly adorable.
hey, that's john, i recognize that hair! (also: i am assuming that this is the writers committing to a storyline that might possibly resemble an arc. i am okay with this, but i really am still upset about the unresolved mass genocide. i'm just going to keep saying it until someone in charge of sg:a notices and cares. which means: probably forever.)
solitaire with 'gate symbols! i want a deck of cards like that. also, man, where is my shower curtain with the atlantis schematics on it?
"i don't mind being fantasized about occasionally ..." OH JACK.
WELL DONE, WRITERS. i'm invested now. so. go on. make it worth my time. *waits for the rest of the season*
