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

Did you catch the _Elektra_ trailer yet, by any chance?

Just *grinning*.

[oyceter]

Elektra trailer?? As in, angsty assassin girl from Daredevil?

Oooooooooooooo.

I never saw Daredevil, but I keep almost reading the comics because of Elektra.

Ooooooooooooo.

Thanks for the heads up!

*grin* that would be she...

... wanders off in Google of red leather corset and sai...

( I have to say too that Catwoman (not Halle, as lovely as she is) was always a fave.. then we have Storm, Dark Phoenix... Emma Frost, Scarlet Witch, Black Widow, The Cat.. Buffy Faith ah well, I drone...)

[oyceter]

I adore Emma Frost because she's such a strange, morally ambiguous character. Alas, the current mini-series doesn't seem to be working the morally ambiguous angle, so I've stopped reading it for now.

And Black Widow!

Hee, Catwoman must have warped me from a very early age to go for the morally ambiguous female characters with weapons ;).

[rysmiel]

I suspect this big hankering on my part is because I wanted to be Catwoman when I was six years old

Didn't we all?

Some of us wanted to be Emma Peel.

[oyceter]

Petula Clarke? Hrm, don't remember her...

[rysmiel]

Well, there's no good guy cop in it, but excellent female thiefness in Entrapment. And Sean Connery, too.

I thought After the Sunset was a lot of fun, but it weas the specific sort of lot of fun that works best in March or April after months of snow on the ground, when lots of sun and surf are really really soothing, and November was not an ideal time for a release in Montreal.

And Pierce Brosnan's right about how being Irish means one expresses what one feels.

[oyceter]

Oo, yes, I remember watching Entrapment. That was fun. Catsuits ;).

I think you may be right about After the Sunset -- were you the one who wrote a post on the special genre of February beach movies?

[rysmiel]

That was me, yes.

[fresne]

Well, there's always Innocent Blood, with our main character/female vampire starting the movie with the words, "I feel like Italian tonight."

Not exactly a serious movie, but fun.

[oyceter]

Ooo, sounds like fun!

Thanks for the heads up!

Although it was so incredibly slashy it wasn't even subtextual.

True! I really enjoyed those scenes. Especially the shark one, which cracked me up. And the suntan lotion! *giggles*

At least the two women in the movie weren't wimps,

But they were so formulaically not wimps, if that makes sense.

[oyceter]

LOL! I very much liked the shark scene ^_^.

I liked the police officer better than Salma Hayek's character, actually. But that's probably because there are too many "girl wants out of crime thing, guy is still thrilled" plots going around.
