i have the cape. i make the fucking whoosh noises!

b.l.o.g.

arguably the best part of the weekend was hot fuzz. i totally *heart* simon pegg and nick frost now. totally and completely — and they are some special lookin’ dudes, but i love them anyway.

also: old lady gettin’ kicked in the face. it doesn’t get much better than that!

of course, after a weekend of steadily gorgeous weather, today is a whopping 82 degrees and i want to be anywhere but inside. stupid in-of-doors! i have a blender at home just callin’ out my name…

the rest of my weekend, weather aside, was pretty wonky and i don’t know why. just everything was ever so slightly off…and i hate that.

today: eye exam! OH NOES!

this morning i woke up and showered with rainbows. i shit you not, fucking rainbows in my shower. sunlight + window + shower = awesome. and if that’s not a sign that the day is going to be full of loveliness, i don’t know what is.

the weather? awesomely close to actual spring! (in fact, spring has officially sprung, motherfuckers) i could just spend all day frolicking around outside, really. i wish i could.

and even douchebag vendors callin’ up and trying to get all up in my business can’t bring me down. because you know what? i can just hang the fuck up. how sweet is it to have control like that? if i don’t like what you’re peddlin’ my way…click!

even better? tonight we’re totally going to see Teenage Mutant motherfuckin’ Ninja Turtles. wooooooo!!! i’m so excited. my love for TMNT knows no bounds, really. and i’ve loved all the trailers so far but i am a little bit worried about a.) the low low kiddie-friendly rating and b.) sarah michelle gellar’s inclusion in the film. cuz you know, she sucks all the dicks of failure ever.

but…TMNT!!! squee!

and tomorrow: comics & the new LCD soundsystem album. aw yeah.

in short: the ultimate chick flick*

the weekend? fabulous. daylight savings time? can still eat a dick. but 300? OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! no…wait…OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!!

300 was by far one of the most fabulous movies i have seen in a long time, one of the most fabulous movies made in a long time. the only thing that even comes close in the last 6 months or more is curse of the golden flower. i have not enjoyed a film that much in quite a long time.

everything about it was just stunning: the visual effects, the lighting, the framing of shots, the acting, the bloody fucking carnage, the driving soundtrack. i loved it, i love it…i’m completely enamored of it. completely.

i knew this week was going to absolutely DRAG, and it totally is…ugh.

top 10 movies that made you cry

(note: i’m not one for bawlin’ at movies usually)

rudy: i will admit, that hobbits playing football for good ol’ notre dame totally gets me every time. i love this movie so hard.
hero: it’s such a sad movie, but so beautiful. the end part, though…always gets me a bit.
eternal sunshine of the spotless mind: i love this movie, i think it’s great. but i saw it at a really bad time in my little dysfunctional world and i can’t disassociate the two anymore. and so the movie hits me a little harder than intended, i think. still, i love the movie.
carlito’s way: (note: there is only ONE carlito’s way, damnit!) for a brief moment in time, i loved al pacino. this movie is why.
selena: what? i’m mexican, damnit! and selena was awesome…so tragic!
shawshank redemption: sometimes, i think the room gets a tad bit dusty when this movie is on.
12 monkeys: this movie is full of the futility and hopelessness of like…everything. if i think about it, it could make me cry. i don’t think it has yet, but it could.
the motorcycle dairies: such a beautiful movie. oh che…
charlotte’s web: i am still very angry they’re making a live action version of this, but when i was a youngin’ this one & watership down got to me.
dumbo: when i was wee, for some reason it made me cry. but i haven’t seen it in over 10 years, so i don’t think it still would.

Recent History

What movie did you see most recently in the theatre? What was the last movie you watched at home (on television or DVD/VHS)? What did you think of these two films? Would you recommend them to others? Why or why not?

theatre movie: curse of the golden flower. totally, unbelievably awesome movie. i can’t wait to see it again.
home movie: tried to watch a scanner darkly last night, was so unbefuckinglievably boring that i didn’t make it all the way through. yawnfest.
between the two: no comparison, man!
recommendation: GO SEE CURSE OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER!! GO SEE IT NOW!!! and nobody should bother with bill & ted’s animated adventure…i mean, a scanner darkly

let me just preface this by saying that any night that starts with a bunch of delicious, delicious meat is an awesome night. yay pr0k!!!

last night the boy & i went to see the animation show and it was totally amazing. i mean, if you have any idea HOW LONG i’ve been waiting for this to come back…i nearly exploded. my love for don hertzfeldt knows no bounds, really. and the animation show just keeps getting better and better! although, this third installment had more CGI and far less actual art than the last one, but i totally don’t even care! (how awesome is it that i’ve been to all animation shows?!?!?)

all of the films were really fun, and we even saw some local art school films before the animation show started. only one was good, though, and let me just say: FUCK YOU HARVARD VES STUDIES! FUCK YOU HARD!!!!

::ahem::

bill plympton was there, which was cool because he’s like…famous & shit. and i was excited to see the sequel to guard dog, because it was so cute. it was neat to see one of the actual animators there in person. though, i have to say i wish it were don hertzfeldt…cuz um, he’s hot.

but that’s besides the point. the first film was totally awesome and now i have an uncontrollable urge to go out and clobber a horse with a bat. also, squash a rabbit. oh, and even better than that!!! fucking beavis & butthead did the introduction to the animation show vol. 3!! BEAVIS & BUTTHEAD!!!

i am 12 years old all over again. and i love it.

curse of the golden flower

category : movies

let me preface this by saying i have such a killer headache right now.

but that doesn’t matter because last night was utterly awesome. not only did i get to see my laura and have some delicious mac & cheese, but we went to see curse of the golden flower, and it was spectacularly awesome.

i’m sure it won’t get the best reviews because people are idiots and don’t see how awesome it is — like with hero, which rocked all — and i’d heard at least one person mention that “it doesn’t even have a plot”, but dude that is so wrong. if anything it has such a deliciously twisted and fucked up plot!

and there was an army of fucking NINJAS! how could anything get better than that?

i loved the movie. and it was so beautiful. and i can’t wait to see it again.
