So the Bend it Like Beckham DVD has been purchased and capping has begun. *grin* I have no idea what I’m going to do with the caps… it’s just nice to know that I will have a folder full of Jonathan Rhys-Meyers pictures.
Here’s my most favorite cap so far…
OMGheisSOYUMMY.
🙂
Hopefully that’ll be the end of all my JRM gushing here on my blog. Hee.
I have a new obsession. Well, 2 new obsessions actually.
Jonathan Rhys-Meyers is the first. And Bend it Like Beckham is the second. Seriously, I *really* don’t need new obsessions.
Now, I realize BiLB has been out on DVD for ages now and the DVD has been sitting in my apartment forever (Yay Netflix!) but I just got around to watching it this weekend. And I ended up watching it 3 times. Mostly because I just totally completely fell in love with the movie but partly because I totally completely fell in love with Jonathan Rhys-Meyers. OMGheisSOHOT!
I really need to head over to Best Buy to pick up my very own copy of BiLB. I must make caps. There’s one scene in particular where he’s wearing a white collared shirt… YUM.
*cough*
In other news, did anyone catch Everwood tonight? Good grief Berlanti! There is no need for Irv/Edna… uh… relations, ok? I almost spit my orange juice at the TV! And still no Nina. For shame.
omg, everyone should see my apartment right now. It’s a disaster area. Seriously. My new roommate had to move out of his old apartment by July 1 so we have boxes and boxes and boxes of his stuff everywhere. It’s insane. In da membrane. Insane in da Brain! lol. Does anyone else remember that Cypress Hill song?
Anyway, I finally saw Finding Nemo. 🙂 That is the cutest movie. Ever. I am so going to head over to the Disney Store to buy myself a Nemo stuffed toy to add to my collection. Because I am 6. Hee.
I am craving McDonald’s breakfast food right now. I know it’s not *good* by any stretch of the imagination but there is just something about the sausage mcmuffin and hash browns that is so yummy. Oh, and pancakes. Mmmm.
So I loved X2. I don’t really know anything about comic canon, though. My exposure to X-Men prior to the movies come from the Saturday morning X-Men cartoon that used to be on TV when I was in high school. I have no idea how close the cartoon was to actual comic canon — but I am familiar with the most of the characters, the relationships and the more popular story arcs, particularly the one at the end of the movie, which has me hoping for an X3. 😉 (Does anyone know if anyone from the cast has signed for a third movie?) The movie is just beautiful to watch, especially the beginning sequence with Nightcrawler. Just WOW. After that alone, I knew the movie would be better than the first. My only real disappointment is the limited roles of Cyclops (James Marsden) and Rogue (Anna Paquin). I love those two. Anyway, I *think* I’m even going to watch it again tomorrow — well, actually today since it’s 3 in the morning. Too much pent up energy, can’t sleep, hee.
Also, the previews were pretty interesting — I sorta want to see Hollywood Homicide (Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett – yowzers!) and Stuck On You (bwah! Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear in a Farrelly brothers movie? Funny stuff!). But omg, The Hulk trailer had me laughing — seriously. It’s not that the story looks bad or anything — it’s the Hulk himself! The cgi looks positively awful. I can’t take the movie seriously — it’s that bad. The Hulk doesn’t blend well with the movie at all. He sticks out like an eyesore. I think the majority of the the people in the theater were snickering at the trailer. That can’t be a good sign. Oy.
Oh dear, I *try* to stay unspoiled for Alias but my damn curiosity got the better of me. I knew the wildfeed had already aired so I went scouring for spoilers. I really wish I hadn’t done that. I just ruined the entire finale for myself! Gah. ::pounds head onto desk:: Oh well, I’m still looking forward to watching it. 🙂
Just got back from seeing the movie Chicago — it was fabulous! I was especially amazed with Renee Zellweger. She definitely fit the role of Roxie perfectly. Eeee! I want to see it again, that’s how good it was. And I loved how all the musical numbers were incorporated into the telling of the story. I was scared that I would find myself cringing when the songs came on but to my surprise, everything flowed together very well. Plus, I had it on good authority (thanks Linda!) that the movie would not disappoint so I’m really glad that I liked it as much as I do. ok, time for bed. 🙂
I just got back from seeing The Two Towers — it was really awesome. I’m just sooo tired now. I knew I shouldn’t have agreed to watch the 10:00 showing. It’s close to 1:30am and I have to wake up in 5 hours! *yawn* Will blog more later.
So I went to see Katie Holmes’s new movie Abandon on Friday — eh, I didn’t like it. At all. It’s just that the entire movie plot was given away in the trailer (I mean, did I really need to see her holding that rock in her hands?) and the pacing of the movie was just really really slow. Plus, the worst offense of the movie was that there were just so many darn plot holes — like seriously, all of the detectives who worked on the missing person’s case are all idiots. The answer was RIGHT THERE! Geesh. I guess I was mostly disappointed because I’m a huge Katie fan (like you guys didn’t know ;)) and I really wanted the movie to be good and do well in the box office — but I’ve read a ton of reviews and none of them are what you would call “glowing.” Not that I’m surprised. However, I still think she did an awesome job carrying the movie even if she did slip into “Joey” mode a few times. And I also thought she and Benjamin Bratt made a really pretty if not unusual couple.
Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. 🙂 I really appreciate it. I didn’t really do anything to celebrate — I had a bit of a headache (typical) so Rob and I just went to dinner at The Macaroni Grill and then went to see The Rules of Attraction — it’s that new movie (with James Van Der Beek and Ian Somerhalter) based on Bret Easton Ellis’s novel. !spoiler alert! Surprisingly, I actually liked the movie — it stayed true to the book for the most part. However, I thought that the characters of Paul (Ian Somerhalter) and Lauren (Shannyn Sossamon) needed much more development than they were given. In the book, I actually sympathized with both these characters but in the movie, they both fell a bit flat. James Van Der Beek really surprised me with his acting — I’m so used to his acting on Dawson’s Creek consisting solely of flaring his nostrils to convey any type of emotion. But I have to admit, he managed to give Sean Bateman a real likability, in spite of all the horrible things he’s done. There were a lot of scenes that were really hard for me to take — like Lauren’s rape scene and the suicide scene. I seriously felt really sick to my stomach watching those scenes. But there were some funny scenes too — Paul and Dick singing to “Faith” by George Michael, and then their scene in the restaurant with their moms. Funny stuff. I know many of you have no idea what I’m talking about but I find this book (and thus, the movie) really fascinating. It’s such a poignant story of emotion unrealized in a culture of nothing else but sex and drugs.
Just got back from watching Sweet Home Alabama — really cute movie. Reese Witherspoon was adorable. [possible spoiler alert] The plot wasn’t original or anything and the ending is totally predictable but the journey to the end was really funny. My favorite part, just like Sam’s was the proposal scene in Tiffany’s. Woooowww. *drools* And geesh, I had no idea Patrick Dempsey still looked that good! hee. [/end spoiler alert]
What are your favorite ways to relax and unwind? I like to watch a lot of TV — my newest addiction is the Food Network.
What do you do the moment you get home from work/school/errands? I’ll usually check my email, get dinner started, or watch Friends reruns.
What are your favorite aromatherapeutic smells? I’m not really big on aromatherapy but I do find mint and eucalyptus to be very relaxing after a stressful day.
Do you feel more relaxed with a group of friends or hanging out by yourself? By myself. I dunno why — I’ve always been an introvert.
What is something that you feel is relaxing but most people don’t? I guess working on my site — and maybe making an occasional wallpaper. Most of my friends don’t find that at all relaxing.
Yay Alias tomorrow!
So I finally saw A Walk to Remember — it’s such a cute movie — Mandy Moore and Shane West really make an adorable couple. Gah, I’m such a sucker for sappy love stories. Case in point: I saw Titanic about 8 times in the movie theatre. 😛 Heh. And can Shane West *be* any cuter? (*wink* at Mickie)
Oooh! My Hawaii tickets came in the mail today! Yippee! 23 more days!
