Yay! The rats are one year old today!
Urgh, of course I can remember the birthday of my rats but not the birthdays of anyone on LJ (or of anyone not me or my sister, for that matter).
Saw After the Sunset yesterday because me and the boy are complete suckers for heist movies, and throwing Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek in there was simply too hard to resist. It was ok, but not heist-y enough for me. Although it was so incredibly slashy it wasn't even subtextual. At least the two women in the movie weren't wimps, though part of it was the old "guy misses his glory days and wants to go back while girl is perfectly content as is" plot thing that was part of The Incredibles and pretty much all of those "one last heist" movies. And again (I'm sure everyone saw this coming), now I want movies with female thieves! There's a huge dearth of female spies and female assassins, and now female thieves too! Though I feel there are more female thieves than the other two, but they never seem to have movies centered around them. Any good guy cop chases female thief movies, sort of like Thomas Crown Affair backwards?
I suspect this big hankering on my part is because I wanted to be Catwoman when I was six years old. Hee hee.
