So, I just saw a trailer for The DaVinci Code...
And first off, it's a trailer for The DaVinci Code, so that's enough to bemuse me, but I need to say this: I hate hate hate that it's being marketed as the first big movie of the summer, in the way that Pearl Harbor was once the first big movie of the summer, in the way that Troy was once the first big movie of the summer. The First Big Movie of the Summer by no means has to be a good movie, it just has to be a big movie, with a bunch of shit blowing up and attractive men running around and angsting over Kate Beckinsale, you know? And the DaVinci code, while it has an impressive cast (Ian McKellen is the only reason I'm going*, but because he's in it, I'm going) and a lot of shit blowing up and people dying and all that fun stuff, it's just not the First Big Movie of the Summer, which is by and large supposed to be over-budgeted, over-blown, fun drivel. And it's just not that, and I can't stand that it's being marketed as such.
Also, I would just like to say that Ace Young sucks. I almost like him a lot, but it's always on that edge where I end up thinking he sucks instead. (He did, after all, just say he "wanted to show America more of a rock edge," and then proceeded to do "Drops of Jupiter," which, um.)
In other news, Simon just said "karaoke." I think I'm gonna make myself a cocktail. Also, oh my God Paris Bennett is fucking adorable.
* OMG WTF I JUST LOOKED AT THE CAST LIST AND JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. I'M GOING. Audrey Tautou? Alfred Molina? PAUL BETTANY? I'M GOING.
eta: omg I have such love for t-rex I can't even. "I'm a machine that turns FOOD into IDEAS! I could probably turn all-you-can-eat ribs into a freakin' aria!"
"I've seen you look intrigued before, T-Rex. I'm sure of it!" "I'm afraid it was all an illusion. When I feel intrigued, I have to say 'How intriguing!' or 'Guys, I'm really intrigued right now' because I can't express it through my face."
"Also I just realized I lied to God about reading a book." "I think there's posters in the library warning about that."
"Is it possible to have adventures in today's world? I mean real adventures, like ones where I get to swashbuckle."
"The facial hair would just be the grizzly icing on the prospector cake!"
"And yet, I do it freely! That is because some days I take an envelope out of the box and I PUSH IT."
And, my birthday comic: "Now, I myself am a tremendo-meatatarian, which means that I only eat meat that I find to be tremendously delicious!" "I've seen you eat fruits and vegetables!" "Yes. On account of the golly gosh-darned scurvy."
I'll stop now. I could be here all night, but I'll spare y'all.
