I LOVE IT!

BOO THIS MAN!

actually, it's not wolverine's fault, but hugh jackman is definitely to blame since he produced this. this film is BAD, like terribly, awfully BAD. acting was OK for the most part, but was over-the-top in some instances, a lot of things in the story were illogical and out of place, script was terrible, action wasn't that thrilling, some scenes seemed unnecessary, highly predictable. i hate CGI with a sick passion and i blame all this slick slo-mo action on the matrix. it was done right then, but even the wachowski started to abuse that shit in the sequels.

it just seemed so hollow. and i don't get the point of prequels if evrybody already knows the story. i think the problem with a lot of comic book movies, mostly marvel's, is that the screenwriters write the screenplay leaving out a lot of the story with the assumption that the ppl who see the movie already know the things missing, but then they take the story and distort it inexplicably.

one of the major lowlight of the film is how ill-used a lot of the actors are. most of the people you would expect to be big deals aren't, for example, dominic monaghan and ryan reynolds. will. i. am had a longer role than both of them combined. anyway, at least i got to finally see deadpool and what he does, but this interpretation is a lot more interesting. and the guy doing gambit totally gave up on a cajun accent. he never really had one when he started, it was more generically southern, but all-around godawful. he didn't even look like remy, hair was too long and he looked greasy, not stubbly. and not even one "mon ami"! yeah, and wolverine didn't say "darlin'" once, either.

but, the major highlight, for me, was liev schreiber. for some reason, i've always had a thing for villains. i like heroes and anti-heroes, but villains seem sexy. liev is already sexy, so him as a villain is taking me higher.

MMM-mmm, yes, please! he would be the only reason i would suggest this, but see it on bootleg, download it, or go to the dollar show or rent it from the library. oh, but you know what, you should see it with black ppl, the commentary is too much fun to miss.

I Wonder U

i was watching il buono, il brutto, il cattivo the other day and i had the strangest thought. it was during the part where tuco drags blondie all through the desert. blondie's in bad shape and it ocurred to me that i had never seen clint eastwood look so vulnerble and weak. anyway, it gets worse and worse, and as he's fading, he starts breathing heavily. then, the thought, "wonder if he sounds like that when he has sex."

i think about stuff like that, sometimes when i was in high school, i would think about how some of my teachers would look during sex. i wasn't even attracted to most of them, i think it was more of a way not to be intimidated by them.

is that normal? maybe not, but it works.

LOL#11

?

what is he saying? you get 20+ points if you guess correctly and a gold star if you can tell me the movie.

Iron Man's Perm

The Dirty Thirties

#swoons and clutches pearls# dear me!

LOL#9

"put me on the floor..." LOL

Two things, real quick

firstly, but if chris evans was trying to put his mouth on me, well, you know the rest. let's just say, if he started something, he'd have to finish it. i always thought gabrielle union was weird.

secondly, fuck beyonce. and i mean that respectively.

What the Effa, Heiffa?

i dunno if i should be putting them on blast like this, but at my school, we have a student council something that hosts movie showings. thing is, the movies they show are clearly bootlegs. anyway, they advertise these events by putting up huge posters in the elevator/stairwell area. so, think about what it's like to walk by a big-ass poster of this:

a few things:
first of all, why does he look so goddamn tangy? the hazel eyes make it even more magically delicious. he is serving such face and the girl is looking away, her face angled to show all the sharp and strong parts; NOT very flattering. do these kids really need to have the shit airbrushed out of them? that doesn't even look like robert pattinson and, she's not in color either, stuck on background status. so, whose movie is this and who is it for? i know edward cullen is supposed to be panty moisturizer or whatever, but is this what the girls really like? though, this is nothing entirely new...

#doesn't Brad look a little like Angelina? curiouser and curiouser.#

#mmmm-hmmmm#

#worth 1000+#

#see-through shirt or not, stuart townshed can touch my body#

#gary gets a pass, though#

the tagline: Evil is a choice. uh, yeah, no shit; so's good. fuck effort poster for a fuck effort movie, from what i've heard. sufficeth to say, this was the last thing i wanted to see on a rainy wednesday on two hours' sleep.

Goddamnit...

I dunno why, but I've been thinking about Jeremy Irons ALL day. Since last night, actually. But then, do I really need a reason?







Hopefully I'll have some nice dreams...

The Tragedy of Richard the Third [1.2]

Is it just me, or was that kinda hot? Ian McKellan laid his game down flat! Don't believe me? Watch this:


"I've got a thing for you."
"Thing for me? Tis a common thing."
"Ha!"
"To have a foolish wife."

DAMN! Coldest Mack in the world!

...what do you mean he's gay?! :(

All Men Are Apes!

Well, not really, but Jezebel made a list of 6 reasons why mustaches were not sexy, based off a post from Fey Friends. Now, this is ridiculously unfair. They picked the most extremely unattractive pictures to support their case. I happen to find mustaches very sexy and I think one of the most manly thing a guy could do is grow one. Of course, they'd need the face for it. So, may I present 6 reasons, in no particular order, why mustaches are sexy (by way of photos, of course):

1. Daniel #MY BOO# Plainview
I mean, look at him. What more needs to be said?

2. Giancarlo Giannini
Need I say more? Rather it was then or now, it doesn't matter.

THEN:

NOW:
3. Josh Brolin
I think he has the perfect face for a mustache. He just doesn't look right without one.


4. Robert Downey Jr.
He looks very nice clean, but it's something about how the softness of his eyes contrast with the scruffiness of his jaw that's just so nice.


5. Stanley Kubrick
When people talk about Mr. Kubrick, "sexy" is not a term that is often used, but there's something there, isn't there? The silent, strong, shy, strange type? Very sexy. Anyone who smiles that sweetly can't be all bad.

6. Burt Reynolds
You thought I forgot? How could he NOT be on the list?
Now, I could go on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, but I think I made my point.

Well, one more wouldn't hurt.

"YOU GOT THE TOUCH!"

I don't know exactly what's wrong with me #i never do# but usually, the more popular something gets or the more it gets hyped, I lose interest real quickly. This happens mostly with movies; I'll hear something about something coming out, hear people just go on and on about how good it is or will be and I'll immediately be like, "Meh." But then, when some years go by and the furor dies, something happens where I become very interested in what I missed. I remember this happening with Harry Potter, most notably. I guess I'm some kind of "culture vulture"; I just want the leftovers after everybody else has had their fill. Well, this has happened again with Boogie Nights.

IT IS SO FUGGING GOOOOOOOOOOD!

Liz saw it, like a year ago, and she was telling me how good it is, and, as much as I trust her, I was still a bit skeptical. I think the only no-go on seeing it was Mark Wahlberg being the lead. I didn't really care for him cuz he's popular, even though I did like him in The Departed. But I was like, "Mark Wahlberg? Boo." It is a little ironic though that I didn't like him, but I pay more attention to Donnie, maybe because he's underrated. And I'm not alone in this, he wasn't P.T. Anderson's first pick #Leonardo DiCaprio was, which is a much bigger BOO.# but he was ultimately impressed and then, so was I.

Same thing happened with Aaron Eckhart and Heath Ledger; wasn't interested in either one of them until The Dark Knight. Though, I was shocked when I found out Ledger died.

I really like this movie, a lot more than I thought I would. It's actually very sweet. Everybody, for the most part, had some kind of childish innocence and optismism and they cared about each other. I geniunely felt for these people and teared up at the end, deeply touched by how much of a family they were. The ending song also helped, which is strange because the first time I heard that song, it was in a commercial for HSN or something. #he's very good at end themes#

I guess that is the power of cinema, how it can twist our emotions and change our perceptions on people, ideas, songs, and the like. That's the power of mass media.

It also made me realize how much I like P. T. Anderson. Punch Drunk Love was the first film I saw by him and I loved it, then it was There Will Be Blood which I LOVE love #Daniel Plainview is my Boo!# then came Boogie Nights and then today I watched Sydney #or Hard Eight# which was VERY good.

He has his dissenters who claim he's ripping off Robert Altman and heavily influenced by Stanley Kubrick, but I don't see that. Sure, he uses some of the same techniques, which anyone can use, but it HOW he uses that makes them his own. Is he original? Perhaps not entirely, but who has honestly done something TOTALLY popping fresh? Not everything Altman or Kubrick did was completely theirs. Film is art and art comes from inspiration. Taking someone's idea and changing it to create your own is not ripping them off, unless it is a direct copy that does not match up to or surpass the original.

On a lighter note, I must have been sleeping on PTA pretty damn hard because I remember him looking a little bookish, a little like Matt Stone, but NOW he looks a whole lot scuffier and a whole lot like Daniel #MY BOO# Plainview.

Compare this:

To this:

Damn, what a difference ten years make!


Also, he's partners with Maya Rudolph and they have a daughter.

They're holding hands! How cute?

SIDENOTE: Is it strange that
I really like to see interracial couples,
especially if it's a black female with
any other kind of guy,
but if it's a black man with
any other kind of girl,
the angry black woman
in me rises,
just a little?
I think it makes sense,
in a way,
but that's a blog
for another day...

Party All The Time

I was on Synnabun's blog and came across some very nice tracks:

I Rather Be With You - Terry Callier

If I Don't Have You - Gregory Issacs

I got that one on REPEAT.

Craigalicious put me up on this one awhile ago:
Bossy - Lindsay Lohan


Raven got me onto this one.

Then, the piece de resistance from my buddy, Liz:
Look Back At Me - Trina

Aaron digs it:
#LOOK BACK AT CHU FA WHUT?#

DAMN!

Sarah, it's understandable, BUT CONTROL YOURSELF!

If there's anything I love more than Gary Oldman...

it's Gary Oldman and his hot daddy mustache...

Doesn't he look a bit like Ned Flanders? Don't you think?

Speaking of Paul Rudd...

...yeah.
