Perfect Blue with Gracie-Lou!

Listening to: Buddy Holly - Cryin' Waitin' Hopin'

I just watched one of my favorite anime movies with mt friends Tianna and Beth: Perfect Blue. I first watched it with my friend Liz almost 3 years ago! It's such an amazing movie (and one of the best anime movies ever made). I have talked about it before on my blog but I don't think I've shown clips or anything...here is an AMV (anime music video) with a song by one of my favorite bands: Tegan and Sara.

SO GOOD!

The next one that we are going to watch is my favorite one by Satoshi Kon (the director of Perfect Blue) PAPRIKA!!



Paprika also has one of the best opening credits of any movie (anime or not!).

PS: I am more than just REALLY EXCITED about this!!!

RIFFTRAX - NEW MOON

Cerebro? Magneto? An MST3K Post <3

So, I am working at my papa's dental office and because it is friday it's kinda slow (except for the family of six that literally just called in as I typed that XP). Sooo, I have been looking up my heroes and their lovely rifftrax and dvd releases and found some great clips on youtube as well as merchandise. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the funnies:









If you want to watch more, just look them up on Youtube! Or better yet...buy some riffs from Rifftrax.com. In other news...MST3K has a new DVD. THE SPECIAL 20TH ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION!!

Sunny Day

Listening to: Moby - Stars

It's amazing...I actually have interwebs *LAAAAAAAAAA!* I was vaccuming the couches when all of a sudden I noticed the Direcway thingy going crazy with flashing lights...and to those of us with Directway, that means: INTERNET! I stopped what I was doing and rushed here as fast as I could! I was supposed to do more of my British Literature paper but that can wait a little bit longer. hehe.



In other news: While at the library I picked up a couple of movies and one of them was Atonement. I hadn't seen it yet and I wanted to see what all of the hullabaloo was about. I liked it, but it was quite depressing and seemed to be more about the little girl than Keira Knightly and Mr. Tumnas. I was okay with that but I feel that the whole letter thingy with the "c" word and the fountain stuff should have been better portrayed and maybe even more added on to it. And this was only because I had no idea Keira loved the main guy until she brought him in the library...(wtf!!??) I don't know...I wasn't convinced that they really loved each other. Oh well. I thought the ending was quite good even though it was sad.


I have pictures to put up but I might wait until later to do so because I have not yet put them on my computer *sadness* TTFN! <3

cutie

Listening to: Björk - Declare Independence

So...I found this cute pic of Tim, Helena and their kids and let me just say SO CUTE!!!



and a little link that makes me happy:



and a little pic that makes me sad:

Out of all the things I had on my TO DO list, fire-eating wasn't one of them

Hey!

Okayyyy, so I watched Chinatown and Junebug. Let me say...THANK YOU GOD! I was so disappointed with the first two movies that it was a RELIEF to watch these two fab movies. Chinatown, starring the older Joker, takes place in the 1940's and involves guns, detectives, and Faye Dunaway. I wish I could go more into it but what else can I say? It was a really, really good movie and I would spoil it if I told you any more! The script was perfect and the acting was decent. Go out and buy it or rent it or something. Now Junebug...I have to admit, I had mixed feelings about the ending but everything else was pretty spectacular. Amy Adams and that lady from Matilda who played Miss Honey were excellent in their parts. The friendship that they shared as characters was almost like a "love affair" but in a respectable way - as two women with very different lives. That was the theme of the whole movie though, love affairs of all kinds and finding your place in the world. I enjoyed it throughly.

So, wondering where I got my Title from? Apparently it was a quote by Sanjay Gupta. Here's what going on with him:




Hmmm. That's all for now!

States of Gay Cowboys

Love you, Cowboy

Okay, sooooo I watched two of the movies that I had borrowed from the Bville Library: Brokeback Mountain and Altered States. Hmmmm, it was a pretty interesting few days. I sat in my room and watched the first half of Brokeback...utterly disturbed and bored (is that even possible?). I have nothing against gay people, honestly, they can do whatever they want, but there was something weird between Heath and Jake...I can't really explain what it was...Anyway, I gave the movie another day before I decided to try watching it again. It got better...Anne Hathaway appeared as the rowdy wife of the late Donnie Darko and did a fabulous job. Same with Michelle Williams, she was good, she was real, I believed every emotion she portrayed in that movie...but the cowboys, not so much. I think the only reason why people THOUGHT it was a good movie was because two manly men had the guts to kiss each other on screen, and to be honest, they weren't even doing it that well...I don't know...do guys usually kiss each other with such awkward force? Possibly...maybe.


The first gift of Christmas...uh...REALITY!!!

The next movie I watched was called Altered States. It stars William Hurt in his film debut, which I thought was pretty rad since I grew up listening to him read me The Polar Express on a cassette tape. If you haven't seen it or even heard of it, it's pretty much about this professor who tries all of these weirdo experiements to prove that the imagination can be just as real as the "reality" that we live in. It sounded pretty sweet, so I watched it. I liked the first half...but then by the end it started freaking me out. There is something about 70's special effects, they were GOOD back then and looked REAL, at least, in my eyes. Anyway, it got crazy towards the end and I had to eventually watch Lord of the Rings to get my mind off of it.

That's all for now - it's time to eat breakfast for dinner! <3
