my phone, Robert Downey Jr, and that time the cop showed up here: would that these were all related

Jan 19, 2009 17:44

Okay. First things first. Who's been teaching my phone new words? As of today, it keeps inserting "anus" and "Ikea" into the text messages I've attempted. God. This phone. Anus and Ikea? 'FESS UP, BITCHES. Who's been pulling modern Scandinavian furniture out of their butts with my phone ( Read more... )

random fandom, now with slightly less batshit!, paging dr house, just stuff and things, reach out and touch this

<3<3 KKBB cures many things.

researchgrrrl January 20 2009, 02:03:38 UTC

My love for KKBB sent me scuttling after some RDJ icons. I'll eventually suss out some good ones from the flick itself -- oh my god, "Sleep badly. If you have any questions, please hesitate to call" and all of Perry's outraged queen moments were gorgeous -- but for now, I'm happy enough with RDJ.

Indeed it does. Were you already working on this at the time? You were, weren't you. You minx. *approves*

Well, the last times we talked Ikea came up, but if your phone starts pulling words from spoken conversation, I would be very very afraid.

As for dark-haired, dark-eyed, pretty men, I've gotten my greedy little fingers on Man from UNCLE and am in the middle of season one right now (OMG, they made seasons with 30 episodes back then) and Robert Vaughn was very pretty indeed, particularly in black and white. Though my real love belongs to Ilya. Holy hell, that guy is hot, even if a bit short.

(random comment of things i know)

Ilya is played by david McCallum, who now plays Dr. Ducky Mallard on NCIS.

Still very cute. :D

rike_tikki_tavi January 20 2009, 00:01:03 UTC

Oh, I know and I agree. Still very cute, but when Ilya breaks out one of those grins the whole screen is about to catch fire. The first time was kinda breathtaking.

researchgrrrl January 20 2009, 02:06:26 UTC

I haven't watched MUNCLE in so long. (I'd certainly forgotten there used to be thirty eps in a season.) Ilya really is another example of gorgeous, wee man.

I really don't know where these recent additions to my phone's vocabulary came from. It's not as if anyone's texted me recently regarding either of these subjects.

(so glad to be seeing posts like this from you)

Love Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang.

Wish I had had something to do with your phone spouting new words, but no. *GRINS*

RDJ makes the world better, whether he knows it or not.

Iron Man has been getting some very unexpected love from me, too. I don't go for summer blockbuster flicks all that often but Tony Stark is LOVE.

ladyfox7oaks January 20 2009, 04:11:43 UTC

Yes, and Yes to your Icon as well! :P I was NOT much of an RDJ fan before Iron Man came out but WOW... since then? Droool...

He seems to have sincerely come out the other side of his addictions now -- for real this time -- and it shows with the new depth he has. He's always had the spark, but it wasn't until this particular comeback that the spark finally turned into a full-fledged conflagration. Plus, he's just one of those guys who knows where the punchline goes which is part of what sold me so completely on his Tony Stark. Oh my god. The man manages to have adorable on-screen chemistry with his robotic lab equipment, for crying out loud.

I love that Tony Stark winds up the perfect mirror image of Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne. Brilliant billionaires with crime fighting alter-egos, except Stark's celebrating in the spotlight while Wayne is, you know, completely psychotic. I will undoubtedly start searching for fic featuring RDJ's Stark and Bale's Wayne dealing with each other because Stark actually is the guy Wayne pretends to be in the public eye. His relentless good cheer and gleefully ostentatious ways would be such a delight to inflict on both ( ... )

I must be that one person *sigh* I suppose I better put KKBB in my netflix queue.

katbcoll January 20 2009, 01:04:14 UTC

Nope, I haven't seen it either. You're not alone! *G*

researchgrrrl January 20 2009, 02:13:23 UTC

Holy crap, but you're missing out. I've had spontaneous aftergiggles from it ever since I watched it and I haven't exactly been in a giggly mood. This movie is hilarious.

katbcoll January 20 2009, 02:39:57 UTC

I have to check imdb, but I don't know if I've seen any of his movies. Odd that, yeah? Of course, I also get some of his older stuff confused with that Judd fellow....

Can you tell that I am not all that good at watching movies?

The phone's new words are, amazingly, not my fault. *G* Take Colin with you tomorrow. Maybe you can use him to threaten Tom should he call the cops again.

researchgrrrl January 20 2009, 02:16:43 UTC

I'm really hoping that the phone hasn't made the leap from spontaneously creating its own language to spontaneously recreating ours. Especially if it's going to start with "anus" and "Ikea". (And WTF with those two words of all possible words. Seriously.)
