New beginnings...

How long ago was it that Repo Men came out? I even remembered I had posted about it. I can't believe it was earlier this year. Feels much longer, but it's out on DVD and was in redbox.

So. I rented it tonight with Andrew and Adam. Have to say, a few places in there amused the hell out of me. One time, near the beginning, when they're turning in their catches for the day and Forest Whitaker comes up behind Jude Law like, 'What's the magic word?!' And Jude's like, 'Get off you bastard D:' and then 'Wrong answer! =D *tases* and Jude law collapses like '@$%@'. Oh God. I laughed. Then *tussle with one another* Wait wait. *holds on* 8D *tases*

SO FUNNY.

Anyway. It was around the time Jude pulls a tube out of his chest that Adam ran away because. Big squick. He passed out when he got upstairs. \o

It was really the last scene where they're... well. Spoilers. But the last scenes in the big white room. Really? All of that? The movie was fun until then. Theeeen. >_> I watched that scene in the unrated version and the theatrical version. Not much difference. Yeeaah. They should have cut some of that out. 8| That was a HELL of a lot gorier than it needed to be, and I LOVE violence.

But anyway. Liev was a deliciously hilarious asshole!bad guy.

Jude and Chick: *pops up in the back of his car*
Liev: Come on. Again? *tased*

Aaa, so funny. But google 'tased' or 'tases' and there are a shitload of stories of cops tasing the most random of people, like 64 year old men and pregnant women. My mind. It boggles.

...oh my. Has anyone seen Repo: The Genetic Opera? I really liked it, even if I didn't enjoy all of the music.

But I saw this commercial the other day:




Holy crap. Really? Isn't this the same thing, except... made hip and cool with a bigger budget? I cry.

but it does have Liev in it... mmm, Liev Schreiber.

I never saw HP: HPB in iMAX like I wanted to. Chalk it up to ten dollars for one movie just not being fiscally responsible. And now it's out on DVD. ~___~

And why do people keep calling it.... 'climate-gate'. What do gates have to do with it. I never knew why it was called watergate, either. Obviously I need to research more.

On the issue though, I've been of two minds about it. There's one: Humans like to fuck up things and have been doing so for millenia. It's not that inconceivable that we ruined the atmosphere by being douches and not curbing how much poison we put into the place we live, whether ignorantly or purposefully for greed purposes. [Whatever happened to that hole in the o-zone layer?] And then there's two: we're one species, and while we've done a lot to change our environment to suit us, are we so bigheaded to think we changed the world on our own? That the earth isn't going on spinning around as usual and we have nothing to do with what happens as far as climate?

Eh. *shrugs* Though a lot of people pointing fingers at Al Gore for getting the hype up about global warming and us being the blame, did he know it wasn't real? You'd think, 'presidential candidate should know what for, eh?' but he might not have known about the lies either. I haven't seen any proof in those e-mails that he knew -though someone feel free to correct me- so he might have more egg on his face than the rest of us anyhow. How many of those scientists didn't want it to be known that nothing was really wrong because they might lose funding? Hrmmm.

Oh well.

Another thing that amuses me isn't Tiger Wood's situation, but the fact all of these 'experts' and people 'in the know' come out of nowhere to try and give him advice. Leave the man alone. He doesn't owe any of us an explanation. Good lord, he has enough shit to deal with without completely uninvolved people breathing down his neck for facts that aren't any of their business.

My real question is, are police reports, mugshots, ect, SUPPOSED to be on public record? How do reporters and such get that information? Informants? Do they just go to the station/library and browse through mugshots? Do they get sold to the highest bidder? What is it? Seems like an invasion of privacy to me, especially if it happened on your own private property.

I just watched 'The Spirit' since my roommate took Star Trek.... somewhere, and I couldn't find it. =_= I really wanted to watch it tonight, too, but alas.

But anyway. I liked the art direction. Otherwise, the movie was meh. I wouldn't watch it again, unlike Sin City. Much less pay money to see it in theaters.

What I really want to watch right now is Eastern Promises. Mmm. Viggo~

This trailer has been out for a while, but I hadn't seen it yet.



Who's going to see that at the iMAX?

\o

This'll distract me from having to cut the grass.

Bah. You guys suck. :< Give me movies for my MOVIE LIST damnit! I don't know what to watch on my own DX!! Not the classics anyway, that others enjoyed. You guys do more than READ, surely!

Speaking of, any manga anyone wants to recommend for me to read? Anyone? I need things to do at work during my break so my head doesn't implode... since I just got a huge new project piled onto my plate. At least that... 3.5 hour meeting wasn't a waste of time... and while it means that they think they can use me and it may provide... *some* job security. I think it was just because my co-worker already has enough on her plate and can't handle anymore, so they had to use me. I wish I was joking.

Paid account + 100 icons \o/ Hurray~ Kid's and Grimmjow's accounts are running out this month. *strokes chin* I'm definitely getting myself one, but who else? I think I orchestrated it so almost all my accounts expire in December, but I don't want to pay for time for accounts I hardly use. To be honest, I hardly RP at all anymore, despite random floods of tags I get. I feel so slack. My attention is wandering... but what ELSE would I do on LJ if not RP? Spam the hell out of my f-list with random shit? I find concentrating on writing at work to be....... very hard. And I don't have my materials for A+ cert yet [wait, yes I do]... Okay, procrastinating again, but I WILL do it. Might start at the new year... Maybe... ~_~

OH GOD SHOULD I HAVE ASKED?! Kidding... mostly... >_>

I've been meaning to do a post like this, because I am woefully unread. The classics like Hamlet? Never read it. Macbeth? Forgot everything except "Out! Out damn spot" which I'm pretty sure isn't even quoted correctly. I don't even remember who she killed. I could even have the wrong play, seriously. So this is my 'I HAD MY EDUMACATION' post.

Recommend books or movies that I should read/watch because THEY ARE MORE AWESOME THAN THE SUN or because I'm stupid to not have been forced to read them in Highschool. Though I did like Lord of the Flies. I'm pretty much interested in anything, and because I'm a major pervert/weirdo, nothing is off-limits. I may have even read it before but my memory span is about as long as a gnat's.

So yeah. GO! GO! GO‼
