Movies? Yes.

I really have nothing to say. These past two days have been extremely boring - just me procrastinating, pretty much. And trying to sleep, because I've been having some sleeping issues.

So, with nothing important to say, I'll just talk about a couple movies I've seen lately.

Say Anything - John Cusack. Such love. He's one of those actors ( Read more... )

Reservoir Dogs is Tarantino at his best. And Harvey Keitel is fabulous!

Stand By Me: I am a huge fan of that movie. So beautiful!

Harvey Keitel was really good. :D Michael Madsen was probably my favorite though; he cracked me up.

Sounds like you're on a John Cusack kick, at the moment ;) I have to see Say Anything; it's one of those classic 1980s' movies I've just never gotten around to seeing.

I watched it with a friend of mine and he kept getting annoyed when I kept screaming, "My baby! My baby!" every time Teh Bale got beat up, mugged, or, you know, hurt in any way, even though he played a racist killer.

I can picture you screaming at the tv, and your friend's look of annoyance *lol* Didn't know Christian was in that movie :)

River plays young Indy in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade; it's not a big role, but the movie's a classic which you should see, if you haven't already :) I've heard that My Own Private Idaho is supposed to be good :)

Say Anything is great - maybe a bit overrated, but stilll good. :)

I can picture you screaming at the tv, and your friend's look of annoyance *lol* Didn't know Christian was in that movie :)

I didn't know he was in it at first, either, but I saw he was in it on IMDB. And then, of course, I had to see it. :D

Ahhh, I have definitely seen that Indiana Jones flick! Every time we'd watch it, my mom would start talking about River Phoenix for such a long time that we'd have to pause it. :D

Have you seen Pulp Fiction yet?

Stand by Me is full of awesomeness.

I forget-- you've seen Donnie Darko, right?

ronniekins77 November 12 2007, 22:44:26 UTC

Nope, but Pulp Fiction is next on my list of Tarantino movies. :)

I haven't seen Donnie Darko yet, either, but people keep saying I need to.

Nat! *hug*

I'm sorry you're still having trouble sleeping, did you try Melissa (lemon balm) or orange tea? my grandma says it's calming and helps to sleep.

Say Anything: I fell in love with John Cusack with that movie *sigh* If a guy stands in the rain with the radio over his head for me, he owns my heart.

Steel Magnolias: Love it! it has all drama, comedy and that chick flick feeling. Totally a girls movie and it always makes me cry.

Stand By Me: There's something about this movie that makes my heart aches, maybe because it was my class's favourite movie, I watched more than 30 times when I was in school, we started watching it when we were 11. The whole idea it's perfect, a great adventure, your best friends, them against everybody, the film manages to show us, the last moments of innocence of childhood.
I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone? I bawl everytime.

ronniekins77 November 12 2007, 22:45:57 UTC

No, I haven't tried either of those, but thank you for the suggestions! :)

One complete WORD about those movies, especially about Stand By Me. I saw that line on his computer screen and just went, "Oh crap, that's totally true" and spent the next couple of hours feeling nostalgic.

michelsita November 12 2007, 23:18:02 UTC

That line is so true it's scary, now I want to watch Stand By Me again. I'm gonna need tissues.

Heroes tonight!

ronniekins77 November 13 2007, 01:51:57 UTC

Eee, so excited about Heroes! Hope it's good.

Oh John Cusack. I have a permanent crush on him. I can't wait to see Martian Child and Grace is Gone when it comes out. I ♥ him. I even saw 1408 for him.

And you saw Res Dogs! :D Yay. My fave character is Orange (and White, too). I just love Tim Roth. And Harvey Keitel. And Steve Buscemi! lol I could go on and on I guess.

And yeah, Shaft was hilarious. And I also saw it for teh Bale. ;D

ronniekins77 November 13 2007, 17:39:58 UTC

Ha, I saw bits and pieces of 1408. I thought it was sad. Martian Child was good, but I think Grace is Gone sounds better. :)

Mr. Orange was great. I loved his, "SHE KILLED ME!" rants, LOL. Although every time I see Tim Roth, I think of his character in Rob Roy and I get creeped out. :)

Ha, another person who thought Shaft was hilarious.

Btw, what's your icon from?

scarletumbrella November 15 2007, 14:05:00 UTC

every time I see Tim Roth, I think of his character in Rob Roy and I get creeped out.

Oh man, I can sympathize! That was the first role I ever saw him in I'm pretty sure. Frea. Kay.

The icon's from High Fidelity. :) One of my fave Cusack flicks.
