There was a loophole in my dreaming, so I got out of it.

- Living 'til the End FINALLY arrived. And right now the only thing I can say is that I was already disappointed that they'd filmed in Paris and I wasn't even aware, but Sean filmed a freakin' topless scene in the streets here. How did I miss that? Karma, what did I do to you? /mindless fangirl ramble

Have you seen the movie D.E.B.S? I have a feeling you'd find it quite hilarious.

I find ignorance and...no, ignorance is the right word, like that around college all the time as well, and it's hit-and-miss as to whether I speak up about it. The misses I feel idiotic about, and the times when I do speak up are usually met with either indifference or laughs. Yarrr.

[greenie_breizh]

Oh, god. D.E.B.S is like THE BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIMES. I'm rolling on the floor laughing each time I watch that movie (and also Jordana Brewster kills me with the hot). Beyond the obvious funny, there are so many small details that just make it even more hysterical. *g*

Same here - I love that I have my fellow geek slasher and gender-interested friend with me in those classes because at least I can rant to her a bit. This time though it pissed me off so much I actually went to see the lecturer, whose line of defense was "the studies only looked at mothers because they were made in the 90's". Except he was talking in general statements all the time during the lecture, and whenever he mentioned the mothers it was in the context of differences between social class so that they was NO REASON to make the statements gender-specific.

Uh. Maybe I'm ranting again a bit.

Why did everyone hear about this movie eons before me? A friend showed it to me a few nights ago and I still cannot get over the hilarity. The little spy swings hanging from the ceiling? Har!

Yeah it's a rare prof who won't immediately go on the uber-defensive if you show any sings of thinking that challenges their perceived authority. I had an English teacher who loved me until I started liking the books he hated, and for reasons he thought weren't good reasons to like books, like how they confronted issues of immigration, race, and gender conflicts.

I can't believe it never came up when you came over. We totally should have watched it then!! And seriously, watch it again - the second time around you notice all those hilarious little details that make the movie even better. I think I might have to rewatch soon now. Heeeee!

I liked so many of my classes in the US precisely because the teachers encouraged us to discuss and disagree so much. Here the prof was pretty much indifferent, but it's very unusual for students to talk to the teachers at all, let alone challenge what they say. Tsk.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE YOU GOT IT!!!! I thought it was gorgeously photographed, and didn't mind the lack of music. Sean and Jaime did a fantastic job, and I think it's really the strength of their performances that makes me love this film so much despite its (in some cases quite obvious) flaws. :D

These deeply-ingrained clichés/stereotypes won't disappear anytime soon... *sigh*

Wow, your photos are gorgeous!

[greenie_breizh]

I KNOW. I'd totally lost hope. And I entirely agree with you, the two actors were really the strength of the movie - I love how Jaime made Audrey just the right sort of weird. And heeee the way Sean's hair curls in there? Is too, too cute. I can't wait to see all your caps. :) :)

Thanks for the photos!

WOW, MIRACLE ! Il s'est fait désiré celui là !

La prochaine fois on prend du pop corn pour en lancer sur le prof a chaque fois qu'il dit "mother" pour "parents" et équivalent.

[greenie_breizh]

Tu m'étonnes!!! Ca t'intéresse de le voir ou pas du tout? Parce que bon maintenant je l'ai je peux aussi partager la Sean cuteness ^^

LOL. Il a gagné au change le monsieur vu qu'hier c'était des caillous :p :p Cela dit ça rendrait le CM un peu moins ennuyeux ^^

[littlegothsin]

Oh bah après en avoir autant entendu parler hein, autant le voir à l'occasion :)

Moui, mais j'ai reflechi et les popcorn au moins, on pourrait les manger entre deux remarques stéreotypées, donc on gagne au change aussi !

[greenie_breizh]

Maintenant reste plus qu'à penser à l'amener en cours, finalement c'est presque le plus dur ;))

Pas faux, je suis pas fan' des cailloux, même au ketchup XD

I'm glad you finally got LttE! And that you seem to have enjoyed it. Wish I could say that all the pretty was enough for me, but it wasn't, unfortunately. *sad* And there wasn't much music?! Wow! I didn't even notice. Though, truthfully, I don't usually pay much attention to that anyway. It's just there, you know? Guess this time it wasn't. *g* Maybe that contributed, subconsciously, to my lack of enjoyment? *shrug* Anyway, enjoy the pretty!
