one more miracle

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.

( Eyefuckery ahoy! )

Night night!

So I downloaded Ocean's 12 last week, and there were some scenes I just couldn't not keep, but I didn't want to keep the whole 700 MB file! So I used Quicktime Pro to cut out some of the best Danny/Rusty moments and scenes for my endless rewatching pleasure. I offered to share them with rain_dances, and since they're up on sendspace already, I'm sharing them with y'all too!

The choices are kind of random, but the big important ones are here, plus some silly little moments that just make me giggle and squirm for joy.

The caveat is that they're all .mov files, so you'll need Quicktime to play them. I already tried converting them to wmv and avi - no dice. :( I hope that's okay for most of you!

With no further ado, here are the links, in mostly chronological order within the movie:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nineteen Plus Interest, 27 MB - The whole gang's back together, bitching as usual. This time it's about their little gang being called "Ocean's 11" - Danny looks fondly amused, Rusty just laughs. And also: "Hotels, man." ♥

Linus Wants In, 12 MB - Not Danny/Rusty, but too adorable not to love - Linus is overeager and wants to be one of the Big Boys. Rusty is just woken, and thus cranky, but he's all big eyed earnestness to Linus, barely concealing his amusement. So cute.

Lost In Translation, 22 MB - Danny and Rusty bring Linus to meet with a client. Hilarity ensues.

No Line of Sight, 17 MB - The plan hits a bit of a snag. Danny and Rusty go for a walk to clear their heads and admit to each other that life sucks when they're apart. Seriously.

Ahab with a Piggyback, 2 MB - Short but sweet. Rusty reads Danny's mind, completely baffling Linus.

10:45, We All Get Arrested, 6 MB - Rusty and Danny have one of their little pow-wows away from the flock. And Rusty makes an adorable offended noise.

She Has Your Phone?, 8 MB - Rusty screwed up and he knows it. Danny is Not Happy.

Wake Up Call, 13 MB - Danny gets a fake wake up call and shows up at Rusty's door in the middle of the night. Cute face-making and plastered-ness follows. Best scene of the entire movie - if you only download one clip, make it this one!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I may do the same thing with Ocean's 13, although to be honest there are less scenes that kill me with the slashy joy like these ones in Twelve, even though I liked the whole movie far better. If you desperately want a particular scene from Thirteen, let me know and I'll see what I can do!

I hope you all enjoy these! I'd appreciate comments if you're downloading, just to let me know it was worth the effort, but they're not necessary :)
