I can't seem to force myself to go to bed without some kind of closure. It's weird, I know, but it's all part of my own sleep-depriving procrastination tactics. Sometimes it's watching that moment I'm obsessing over one more time; sometimes it's reading the perfect little ficlet that will send me to bed smiling; sometimes it's wrapping up a fun conversation with a friend. None of those seem to be working tonight, so I'm going to make a post!

I watched Ocean's 11 about two and a half times today. Once straight, once with commentary, and then again to make caps of Danny and Rusty, and also just to rewatch some of their glorious scenes from the beginning. That poker scene, with the TV star kids? Oh my god. PERFECTION!

Then tonight I watched most of Fight Club. Want to know something funny? The Playstation that functions as a DVD player in our living room wouldn't play Fight Club because of the parental settings on the system! LOL. It played Flags of our Fathers (a horrifying and perfectly done movie, by the way) but not Fight Club. How silly.

But anyway, I just. BRAD! *flails a little bit* There's nothing that can be said about Fight Club that hasn't already been said 80 billion times, but there are just so many perfect lines, perfect moments, and watching when you know the twist is actually really cool, because you pay attention to all the subtle clues leading up to it. What an awesome, awesome movie. And did I mention - BRAD! *bites knuckles*

I'm thinking about going to see OotP in IMAX when it comes out! It's playing 45 minutes away, which really isn't that bad, and it's 11 bucks, which is only 2 dollars more than the normal theater - and for OOTP, totally worth it. I watched some TV spots for the movie last night that I'd missed, and OH MY GOD. I can't WAAAAIT. Remus!!!!! He's looking so gorgeous, and his voice, his weary gravelly voice... meep. Moony!! And Sirius!!! Oh my puppies. This movie is gonna make me flail for joy and then KILL ME. I can't wait :D

I really, really love the name Danny. And not just because of Danny Ocean :P I'm thinking I'm pretty much set on naming a future son of mine Daniel, after my father's father, and we will definitely be calling him Danny. Aw. Yay :) I love the name because it's very cute for a young boy, but it can also work well for a respectable man, if he has the right self-confidence and comfort in himself. You know? I don't know what I'm rambling about. I just love it.

Ummmm. I went shopping with Fei today, it was fun :) I was very restrained and only bought a pair of jean capris and a pretty brown shirt to go with my gorgeous flowery skirt. She got everything she needed to (bathing suit, flats, jean skirt) and so all in all it was a very successful morning at the mall. Yay!

I updated my sidebar, to make it more current. Removed and added some icons, and in the interests section I took out a couple of old ones and inserted Danny and Rusty, the Taylors (FNL), John and Aeryn, and made a new one for Rodney and John. Pretty people, whee!

Okay. That's enough of my ramblings. Off I go to bed, a half hour later than I intended! Pretty damn good! \o/

Here, have a dash of Danny n Rusty. Pretty, ain't they? ♥ Look at how they're looking at each other! This, my friends, is why the poker scene is my favorite.






Night night!

UGH isn't Fight Club the best?? It's a really broad category to pick a fav. but Fight Club is definitely in the running for my #1. There's SO much I love about that movie. Such a raw philosophy on life, so many things that are true whether people accept it or not. It bugs me when people pass the movie off as "gorey fighting" As is said, if you want someone to listen you can't just tap them on the shoulder anymore. It's such an amazing medium to explain that point of view. Palahnuik? Genius.

Plus? Brad at his fitest *______* who can deny that?!

And YES! I love rewatching and catching all the hints to the twist! The one I never noticed until I listened to the commentary: when Tyler and Jack get in that crash, Tyler pulls Jack out of the driver seat, when they Tyler was the one "driving". Awesome stuff! What an amazing movie to compliment the book.

Ooooh... Pretty.......

Also: Got a quick question for ya, love. She-who-knows-SGA :D

I thought I heard this awhile ago, but I guess at the time it didn't mean much because I didn't watch... now it totally does! Jewel Staite is going to be a regular on Atlantis?? That's AWESOME! Seems like only Season 4 or have you seen her on there yet? I can't wait to see her on that show, that's just all kinds of fandom-crossover goodness!

You've seen Troy right? An otherwise only okay movie, but it gets vaulted into actual goodness for the amount of Brad's chest you get to see. Plus, omg, he's so cut in it. By comparison, he looks pretty scrawny in Fight Club.

*covets*

Aren't they?? I just can't pull my eyes away.

I don't think I've ever listened to the commentary, I need to do that! Is it with Brad? Because um. Brad cutest EVER \o/

Yes yes, it's such a brilliant movie. It says a lot of things about today's society, about the generations that have been desensitized and disconnected by their cultural immersion in vapid advertisements, stuck in a life with no meaning. "Our Great War is a spiritual one. Our Great Depression is our lives." *flail!* So amazing.

And um. Brad - shirt = me on the floor in a puddle. Holy crap.

Jewel Staite is indeed going to be on Atlantis! She's been in one episode so far, kind of as an introduction, but yep she's going to be around a lot in S4 :) She did part of the SGA skit on the Spacey awards, she was so cute. What a great addition to our lovely gang! :D

I have not! I think I have to put that on my to-watch list now. Because nngh. I feel like I might prefer his Fight Club build because I generally like lean and spare guys without too much muscle, but I also don't think I will particularly MIND a buff, half naked Brad *grins* Thanks for the heads up!

[jebbypal]

Well, brad is still on the "lean" side for Troy -- the heavierness has more to do w/ a) him being a tad older and then also b) the exercise regimen they were put through for the movie. He's definitely not of "body building" buffness in Troy....more like gymnast buffness.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Aha, I gotcha. Yummy! Definitely gonna see that. Brad is looking damn fine for his age, ain't he? Just. Wow!

Your first paragraph is sooooo me! Glad to hear that I'm not the only one that has to do something like that before going to bed. Heee. :D

*points at caps* EYESEX!

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

EXACTLY! And they do that for like FIVE MINUTES STRAIGHT. It's enough to make a girl's ovaries explode, I tell ya!

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Hee! That's cool to hear that I'm not the only bizarre person like that :D
