"I'll work the pipe and swallow the gravy!"
Saw Tropic Thunder by myself this morning because none of my other friends seemed enthused.
I love satire as much as I love straight comedies, and I think Thunder pulled it (the former) off wonderfully. Helps a lot if you watch a lot of movies/movie trailers/celeb culture.
( There's been a lot of controversy over this movie already.. )

Was the Satan's Alley trailer amazing? I NEED TO KNOOOOOOW ahahahahaha.
ALSO YAY HEROES. I love Mohinder omg why do people hate him :( (lolol I have fic recs if you want them? WHAT DO YOU SHIP?)

It must be the monologues--they're kinda silly, I guess, but I don't really... listen to the words at this point. Mohinder could read me the phone book.
YES PLZ RECS I love your recs <3 AND I SHIP MOHINDER WITH ANYONE, though the strongest contenders are Sylar man, pre-"Zane", post-"Zane", mutual antagonism or one-sided affection or identity crisis or WHATEVER it's always just this side of fucked up and amazing and... yeah, pretty much anyone, I guess. Oh and Matt--I don't know if that's actual visceral interest or just the delight at Molly's canon two daddies though. I actually didn't ( ... )

MOHINDER IS MAN-PRETTY with his gay clothes and scarves and that voice. His amazing beautiful voice. HOTNESS.
GOOD GOOD because I ship him with everyone ever, at least once. (But mostly with Matt and Sylar because you can't tell me that's not canon.) That's how I roll. It's going to take me a bit (I HAVE A LOT OF RECS FOR YOU ♥)
BUT HERE'S THIS. For the waiting. Also it's hot. Yeah.

*gurglegurgle* AUGH and just when I'd given up on finding a nice Mylar music vid :D YOU ARE LIKE CHRISTMAS. Or something similar of any other denomination.
Most of the series, my friends and I were sitting around the TV but I'd have my nose in the laptop or something. I'd look up a few times--Claire would get hurt, Hiro would be adorable, Mohinder would wear some awful shirt, Peter would seriously need to cut his hair, meh. And THEN! THAT ONE SCENE! Where Sylar opens the door and Mohinder's THERE and the wind tosses his curls a bit and Sylar just stares like he's transfixed and I was like, "..ohhh... *click* ...OHHHHH!"
Of course, then there's daddy!Matt and BOY would it have been interesting to see how that particular co-habiting situation got started up >:D (Mmm, and then with Matt being all big and knowing exactly what to do to you...)

ALSO HELL YES HEROES. We watched all of it on DVD and I don't know if I'm going to be able to handle watching season 3 from week to week. :\ And I'm not an expert but Mohinder is pretty hot, isn't he?

Just tell me season 2 doesn't leave off on an AGONIZING cliffhanger--I heard season 3 was originally supposed to be part of season 2 anyway, no? And Mohinder's totally hot. My friends mostly seem enamored of Peter, but every time I looked at him it was just like GET A HAIRCUT EMO BOY D:< And then he did. Still didn't care for him. Or Claire's creepy boyfriend (IT ONLY WORKS WHEN JET PULLS THAT SHIT.)

Mohinder (not quite a homo pair, but still two daddies eh?)
Besides, both Peter AND Nathan look awesome without shirts. You never see Mohinder without one!

Mohinder? I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be seeing there (unless it's just no love). Actually, I'm just not sure what I'm supposed to be seeing. One person =/= a pair, homo or otherwise O_o
They do look nice without their shirts; I appreciated the show. Mohinder not going shirtless doesn't make me like him any less though. Besides, I'm a subscriber to the "It's What You Don't Show" school of thought >:)

I has less love from the STUPENDOUS IDIOCY of S2, but I still love him.

The last thing I saw was him throwing a stool into a shelf of virus vials (actually I think it's that scene in your icon) and I'm perfectly happy continuing to think of him as the (hot) voice of morality T_T Oh god, what's he going to do..
Oh wait, no, the last thing I saw was him getting his nose broken. AUGH HIS POOR NOSE D8
Reply
As I say, I still love him anyway.
I wrote an entire piece about him having his nose broken. Inspired by Invictus.
Your icon? So my theory. If Mohinder had just shagged Sylar on that roadtrip...
Reply
Eh well, I've loved characters through worse than idiocy. *glances warily at Vejiita* Much worse...
DID you now? I HAVEN'T READ YOUR WRITING IN FOREVER D:
Ahh, so much bloodshed and disease and heartbreak could've been spared if Mohinder had just shacked up with Sylar earlier, and given him the love and sense of humanity he craved and the regular tumbling Mohinder didn't know he needed. If only!

I totally met Sendhil Ramamurthy by the way. =D

*swoon* I hope you did something embarrassing and fannish that you won't ever regret having done all the same...?

Kind of, yeah! For one thing I accidentally oggled his chest hair. I had just had my picture taken with him and was just pulling away from him while I looked up and thanked him, then suddenly all I could see was the area from his chin down to the V of his t-shirt (it's perfectly curled, by the way). And then I accidentally smelled him, because his scent clung to my sweater as I walked away. He smells divine. D= Also I might have implied that he was less than gorgeous at one point while I was talking to him. <<; I was commenting on how he had been in photoshoots for a long time that morning and then said that I could "kind of tell," which probably fazed him not at all, but still. ^^; Ooooh, and he's even prettier in person! I didn't think that was possible. =

Here's my impression if I ever ran into him at a con:
Me: 8D
Sendhil: ....
Me: 8D
Sendhil: ....
Me: 8D
Sendhil: [walking past]
Me: D:
(Way too much of a coward to actually talk to her celeb crushes.)

And I'm sure most of the word jokes will be lost in the dubbing. Sigh Sob...

That I can think of, there's not much subtlety of language that would be lost in translation. Except for maybe one or two hair-trigger words for English speaking (and American in particular) audiences, but nothing that would affect the enjoyment of the movie ^_^
