Is there anybody going to listen to my story?

!!!!!!

I just got back from seeing "Across the Universe". It was INCREDIBLE. My mind is completely and thoroughly blown. It was so gorgeous and moving and epic and beautiful and lovely and and and. It made me weep profusely several times! Which, to be fair, many Beatles songs can do ANYWAY, but when paired with a wonderful visual tale of love and loss and rebellion and tragedy and morality and freedom and friendship... I was just a goner. An absolute goner.

The music was fantastic. I loved everyone's voices, they felt very real and raw and were incredibly moving. The movie was very true to the sound of the songs, while bringing something new to them at the same time, and it really got me in the gut.

Jim Sturgess is my new boyfriend. Adlskfjlsdkf. He's beautiful, in a shaggy, doe eyed, stubbled little English boy kind of way. AKA IN THE BEST WAY. He actually made my toes curl several times with his voice, oh oh. His voice. Simple and heartfelt and absolutely lovely. I am crushing so, so hard guys. This is his big break on American screens, and now he's going to be in three huge upcoming movies with gigantic names like Scarlett Johannsson and Lawrence Fishburne and many others. Pretty awesome, and I'm excited to see more of him! *grabbyhands*

Evan Rachel Wood was also marvelous. I really like her acting, it feels very natural and real. She also has a lovely voice.

I know I'm so far behind on this and lots of you had seen it already, but I just had to say all that. It was WONDERFUL, and I want to see it again, and it will definitely, DEFINITELY be something I'm buying on DVD.

Does anyone have the soundtrack??? I really, really want to listen to all the music on repeat for like the next year. I have been spending far too much money lately though, so I would reeeeally appreciate if someone could hook me up! (ETA: Gotten! YAY! Thank you to everyone who offered!) (On a side note, I noticed that you cannot buy The Beatles on iTunes o.o What the hell is THAT about??) (On another side note, if anyone has Rubber Soul or Magical Mystery Tour, I'd love to have those too - my Beatles collection on here is woefully incomplete!)

*sighs happily* I love good movies. I went to see it in a three screen theater just off campus, and the screen itself was GIGANTIC! There was only one person there besides me and my friend. It was a really, really great experience.

So far, excellent! But I've only listened to like three or four songs, because I keep going back to, um. Misery Business. Which has just rocketed up past 7 Weeks and Hum Hallelujah on my most-listened-to list (but is not anywhere near G.I.N.A.S.F.S., with listenings approaching triple digits. *blush*)

Good! Haha, Misery Business is so addicting, I love it.

Dude, I've listened to Thnks Fr Th Mmrs 124 times and Thriller 122 times. All of Infinity on High is in the eighties or above, it's kind of ridiculous. Looove <333

I found a download of the full ATU soundtrack, but thank you for offering!

well, due to iTunes shenanigans involved in moving my library from the external HD to the New! Shiny! Very Large! HD on the New! Shiny! MacBook, my play counts only go back to, like, mid-May. So it's worse than it looks. *G*
