I am utterly in love with Ned. And Lee Pace - I've been watching some of Wonderfalls (which is AWESOME, by the way), and he's just always adorable in everything he does. And now I want to watch Miss Pettigrew again. :D ( Read more... )

If you haven't, go see Lars and the Real Girl. Partly because it's an excellent movie which, despite it's slowness, is fully engaging the entire time, but mostly because Ryan Gosling is unbelievably good. Understatedly, charmingly, absurdly good. The rest of the cast is excellent as well, from the utterly lovable Emily Mortimer to Patricia ( Read more... )

Ok, so: The Dark Knight.

We already know I thought it was amazing, so here I bring you details, after seeing it a second time (which, by the way, not quite as good as the first. Not that it wasn’t fantastic; it’s just that the Joker isn’t as effective an agent of chaos if you know what he’s going to do).

( Why so serious? )

Ok, so. The Dark Knight was just as amazing as everyone said. I was fully prepared for it to be mind-blowing, and still, my mind was blown. The audience burst into spontaneous applause three times during this movie (ok, once at the end, but still), and I think it could have been more, but I don't think the audience was blinking for a good three- ( Read more... )

So my sister has gotten me hooked on The West Wing, starting with season 4 (and scattered episodes of season 3). It's funny how little desire I have to see the first three seasons in full, apart from the episodes where Josh is shot, considering how I usually go about these things. But I'm fully invested in the characters as they are now, and I ( Read more... )

Whoo, Indiana Jones ( Read more... )

So tonight, I listened to petalsinthewind (and my own gut cuteness instinct) and went with a friend to see Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (because I like Yahoo! clips: here). I cannot describe how utterly adorable it was. Amy Adams's character at one point says, "Oh, it's not a drink, it's a cocktail," and that is a perfect description of this movie: light, ( Read more... )

New icon, guys (thanks, foxestacado - I LOVE this poster). July 25! :D ( Read more... )

The past few days have been ridiculous, guys. Between the field trip on Saturday in Hellish weather (though it was more like Hell-when-frozen-over-ish weather, between the gale-force winds and eye-scouring rain) to Cape Cod, which we all got soaked on and left two hours early because the weather was too insane to do what we'd planned (seriously.

You know what’s frustrating? Searching for That Thing You Do! fanfic and realizing that ff.net won’t let you search for it because the words are too common (and Googling it is even LESS helpful because the phrase itself is so common). But it’s not popular enough to have its own section. So basically, I’m screwed (unless, flist, you help me out: ( Read more... )
