But emotionally I usually end up screaming I WANT TO FLY a lot.
ME TOO! I TOTALLY WANT TO FLY WHY CAN'T I FLY WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU UNIVERSE ARE YOU TAUNTING ME WITH ALL THAT SKY UP THERE AND ME NOT BEING ABLE TO ZOOM AROUND IN IT?
(One of the things I love about scuba diving - it feels surprisingly like flying. Not fast flying, but you're hovering above cliffs and canyons and things.)
What is a Step Up MovieI've seen one! Sort of. It was on TV in a bar, and there was really pretty dancing, and I could make out the music but couldn't really follow the dialogue, and it seemed to be something about an underground dance group that was supposed to be all street but had infinite money for props and costumes staging surprise dance numbers in places, and facing off against an evil corporate someone, and I'd say that one was totally worth watching when not being paid just for the cool surprise dance stuff. (I'm knowledgeable about dance, and I don't normally go for dance movies, but there was lots of fun and surprising stuff.) I'm
( ... )
Ah, many films are greatly improved for having all the dialogue removed. As is daily life on occasion. :D
I used to love snorkelling - just in a swimming pool, even - for the same reason. I would like to imagine that flying is like that but more energetic and less wet.
Also, in order to be objective, one needs to clearly define best.
YES. Also I am still angry with this meme for dissing birdwatching. HOW DARE.
Yeah, there are a lot of situations where "Everything is pretty, please just stop talking" applies.
I don't mind being wet, but I would love to be able to really zoom!
Why shouldn't my best body part be one that has an awesome practical function? (Or, like my ankles, a completely impractical function no one else I've heard of can do?) Why is being pretty supposed to be so damn important? (I seriously want decorating your body to achieve a certain look to be just another hobby, like knitting. People will be all "Ooh, cool!" if you make a sweater, but you don't get judged for not knowing how to work knitting needles.)
And yeah, that birdwatching thing is such crap! I don't do proper birdwatching keeping track of species, but I love just staring at the flight of birds. Did you know that if you climb Angkor Wat, there are flights of birds that will fly beautifully low in the sky above your head, and you can sit on the stone of the ancient temple just watching how they move?
I really wish that were the case, with make-up etc., since it does just seem to be a special effects thing: the special effect of making one look a particular sort of pretty.
also if you played siegfried sassoon in a movie, whoever played wilfred owen would probably have a gigantic fanboy crush on you. (and if pat barker was wrong and wilfred was not a sassoon fanboy, i don't want to know.)
your random factlet for the day: "pinochle" is pronounced "PEE-knuckle" and it's a card game played by little old american ladies. i think it's kind of like bridge.
Oh I am pretty sure that Pat Barker drew fairly heavily from history on that front. Wilf was not subtle about his enormous weenie heart feels. Can tom Hardy play Wilfred Owen. Can that be a thing.
I have LITERALLY NEVER HEARD OF it what the fuck. Clearly I move in the wrong circles.
i would pay GOOD MONEY for a movie with tom hardy as wilfred owen fanboying all over sassoon. altho in my head wilfred is kind of a small guy, because i have no idea what he actually looked like, and even when he's not all bulky tom isn't exactly small. but still! this is a mental image i can totally go with.
maybe pinochle isn't a british thing, i don't know. or your american friends just never had occasion to mention it. i don't even know how big it is among americans, just that i always thought it was the kind of thing little old ladies played with their little old lady friends after they retired to florida.
Small, dark, and moustached. Tom can make himself look small, he's 5'9", all he needs is a suitably tall Sassoon. I will stand on a box.
haha, well genuinely I don't know many people who play any kind of cards and the ones that do play blackjack, strip-jack-naked, and shittonnes of rummy. Oh and SLAM which is basically a lawsuit waiting to happen.
