I was just looking at my profile, and I saw that I have 197 TAGS! That's a lot. I even have a tag for Tags and the times I've talked I've talked about my tags. I love looking through my tags and seeing tags for things I never remember discussing. And I have some repeats, because I'm an idiot. I have a tag for "bailout" AND "bailouts", "videogames" and "video games", as well as "Office" and "The Office" (in that second instance, I changed everything tagged The Office to Office, but now I have a The Office tag with 0 entries). More than half my tags only have one reference. Hm. That's no fun. I always think it could be worse, because I any time I talk about sports, it all goes under a generic "Sports" tag. No "Seahawks" or "Penguins" tags or anything more individual. Well...I DO have a tag for "Superbowl XL", but that's just obvious. Superbowl XL is like 9-11: WE MUST NEVER FORGET.
YES, I just likened Superbowl XL to September 11, 2001. Sure no one "died" over Superbowl XL, but September 11th did not impact me directly, so...3000 of one, 1 crooked referee of the other.
YES. I can't wait to check my LJ later and see that my Friends count has gone from 40-something to, like, 4. I AM SO INSENSITIVE.
By far--BY FAR--my most used Tag is "Meme". That's crazy. How often do I do memes here? I guess I used to all the time, though. My LJ was barely used at all for the first few years of its existence; so I guess I did a lot of stupid memes here?
Current vague fascination: the movie JCVD. It's not out anywhere except, like, New York and LA right now, but as soon as it hits the area, or DVD if it does not, I will see it immediately. I have seen it described as a "dark, dramatic meta-comedy/action movie". The other best part of this movie? It stars Jean-Claude Van Damme, and ACCORDING TO THE CURRENT ISSUE OF TIME MAGAZINE, HE DESERVES AN OSCAR FOR HIS PERFORMANCE. You did not read that incorrectly. Jean-Claude Van Damme, potential Oscar nominee. On top of time's glowing words, Entertainment Weekly gave it an A, and has talked about it for two weeks in a row now.
Jean-Claude Van Damme stars as Jean-Claude Van Damme, an actor on the wrong side of being washed-up and facing issues from all sides: his wife is tying to get custody of their child, his films are being treated as a joke, and news rumors hound him. To get away, he returns home to Europe to get away from it all, and accidentally gets wrapped up in a bank hold-up where he battles both the fact that being a movie star tough guy is useless against real thugs, and the fact that because of his high profile, authorities believe he is orchestrating the robbery. From what I heard, anyway. It could be about something else entirely. I just summarized what I've read about the flick.
I WANT TO SEE THIS SO HARD.
Instead of seeing JCVD, I'm going out with Tara to see Role Models in two hours. I am...meh. I'd rather see...something else. Role Models looks so...Judd Apatow-esque, even though he allegedly had no hand in it; I can tell it's going to be inspired by his shitty cinematic devices. God, is he terrible. Thank you so much, Judd Apatow for coming to Hollywood and making shitty movies that are all about drugs and gay jokes and body parts humor and for giving the utterly useless Jonah Hill a career. I can't thank you enough. And by "thank", I mean "stab".
Sigh. I just...hate his flicks so much. 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Superbad. All terrible. TERRIBLE. Unfunny and obnoxious. Especially Superbad. That movie made me hate life for about 2 hours. I have never sat through a comedy without laughing at all.
Hopefully it will be a fun day. Wonder where I am feeling lunchy? Hm. Red Lobster? Ruby Tuesday? Buffalo Wild Wings? I dunno. Hm. I better go get ready to shower and start deciding what to wear and the like.
Happy Sunday!
