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

[researchgrrrl]

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

I'm starting to worry that instead of buying that cruise y'all were talking about, well, approximately a lifetime ago, that my deranged phone might have hacked into an IKEA computer and, lo, furniture I am expected to assemble will be arrive any day now. Or, hell, for all I know, you guys will be getting the furniture. THE PHONE COULD BE READING OUR COMMENTS EVEN NOW. D:

My phone is just deranged enough to pinpoint ways to torment individuals. Just look at the language it uses with me. It may be stalking each and everyone person who has texted it now...starting with YOU. It's not that it's angry or anything. it's just that it's completely psychotic.

BEWARE THE IMPENDING IKEA OMG.

i have not yet seen kiss kiss bang bang. i think i'm missing out.

i too guessed that tom might have lost a patient because he didn't act fast enough, which was one reason he called the cops on you. i have no idea why your phone is suddenly throwing "ikea" into its texts, tho. maybe it thinks you need to redecorate?

i'm glad you're doing better. onward, upward, ferretward. :D

[researchgrrrl]

Oh, hell. I'll spoil since the flick's been out for, like, two or three years: they do a twist on the classic "snog to hide from the cops!" bit by having the two male leads use that very ruse in a scene that is the opposite of sexual tension. I had to stop the movie until I could start breathing again, I was laughing so hard. Oh, RDJ and Val Kilmer were brilliant as Harry and Perry. Run, don't walk, to wherever you can snag this movie.

As for Tom, the possibility he might have lost a patient never occurred to me. I'm not completely done being cranky, but I'm most of the way there. I can't really stay too snitty once someone busts out the logic and reason. I can continue to wonder WTF is up with my phone's increasingly weird vocabulary. It's not as if I've had any text messages offering condolences and cheap furniture, you know?

I have not seen KKBB. I have no idea why. By the looks of the other comments, I'm not alone. Hooray!

Glad to see you're starting to function again bit by bit. ♥ I don't know how you do it.

RDJ is teh sex. That is all.

[researchgrrrl]

RDJ manages to take adorable up to 11 in KKBB. He's like a slightly seedy version of my Colin in it: very pretty, very sweet, and just so very utterly clueless that you can't help but ♥ him. This movie may actually have edged out Shaun of the Dead as my all-time favorite comedy, although only by the slimmest of margins. Nothing else has made me laugh like KKBB, especially not after last week. *pimps liek woah*

Very worth your time. Promise.

[secret_hotel]

*pimps liek woah*

lol, I guess I'm going to have to pick this one up. I wonder if I can watch it instantly on the netflix site. *searches* Nope! Dammit! I'll just have to do it the old fashioned way. Thanks for the recommendation!

[researchgrrrl]

You have no idea how much I'm rooting for you to dig KKBB enough to want to make some userpics based it on. No lie.

Er. Not that I had an ulterior motive going into this. I just developed one really fast when I realized to whom I was pimping this baby. :D

[researchgrrrl]

Aw, thank you. I didn't expect you to buy cookies -- I just figured if you were making a batch, you'd send some my way. Either way, I'm delighted. I am not in the least concerned with your turn-around time with getting the cookies in the mail. :) Cookies are wonderfully resilient little beasts, I've found. That's partly what makes them so awesome.

Thank you again.

I ADORE KKBB! Love it to bits! :D *g* So much, I actually spent real money to get it once it hit the shelves! :) It was one of the movies I went and saw when Mum and the SBO were doing the Day of Breakup and I laughed so hard in that empty cinema, I can't even tell you.

And OMG Gay Perry is my favourite person on the planet some days. You just want him on your side, you know? :D And RDJ was just so sweet and adorable in this that I just instantly forgot the stupid. Love this movie. If you find icons, POINT THE WAY! :D

Colin, the anti-Cop. Well, that's a bit unexpected in the grand scheme of things! :)

Oh hey, and it's not for ages yet and I realise that time may be an issue, but would you be up to reading bits and pieces of my thesis once I get it off the ground?? :)

:)

KKBB is on my list of Things I Will Own As Soon As I'm Employed. There's just so much to endlessly love about it and the lovingly cracked-out way it managed to be both a spot-on update and a satire of the whole Ray Chandler/film noir genre. And, yes, I want a Gay Perry of my own. I already have Colin as a non-seedy version of Harry (bless them both) but my life is presently about as fucked-up and directionless as Harry's was pre-Perry. (The ending! So perfect!) When I find icons (and I will!), I'll definitely make sure you get your pick of 'em.

I'll also be delighted to read your thesis once you're ready to chuck it my way. It'll be a pleasure and a honor. Thank you for asking. :D

[jaydeyn_sitari]

(The ending! LOVE! ♥!! And Perry with the dad! AWESOME!) And poor Harry's fingers! :D

Yay! :D I'm just getting back into the writing process now. Sean's getting me to write a hypothetical abstract, so there's a start! Gods, been so long since I actually sat down with academic writing. *shakes head* The next few months are going to be... interesting... (and, er, why my fingers insisted on trying to type kink at that moment is a question for the ages!! 0.0)

:)

Oh, man. Harry's fingers. I was all "Did they really just go there? Oh my god they did. And OH MY GOD did they really just go THERE? OH MY GOD THEY DID" when he was at her door and just a bit later with Mr. Frying Pan and Mr. Mustard. (Heee!) This movie was completely willing to be as dark as it needed to be to get the best laughs, man. Not that anything tops the Big Alley Scene, although many moments came close. Perry with the dad got such victory arms from me, as did the very, very ending. I liked that Harmony got to kick a little ass, too. When she went after Perry? How refreshing to see her just go out there and take care of business, while Harry understandably passed out in the backseat.

Cutting this short because Colin's puking.
