Awful bad awful or awful made your heart hurt awful?
Heart hurt. God, damn.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
We meant to watch Collateral right after to stop being so heart hurty, but couldn't.
It was one of those post movie things where we said nothing about the movie for a couple of days. Had to let everything sink in.

Art Crawl!!!
They're doing a re-make of Lassie Come-Home, hopefully no dogs will die in the making of this movie.
I wonder if they're shooting Ireland for Scotland or just switching the setting to Ireland the way that The Secret of Roan Innish did.

t turns off lurking device
There's no easy way to say, "Hi, I'm fond of the spicy brains around here, and would like to join in on the fun." Except, maybe, that.
Anyway, I watched Kingdom of Heaven for the second time yesterday. (I work at a movie theater, so the first time was the pre-release screening... meaning I was very tired.) I agree with whoever said it that Orlando seemed a little blank. Though I'm not really sure whether that's his fault, or whether Bailin was just supposed to be a taciturn kind of guy.
Also, Zenkitty, I thought that the "if I have your army, you have your wife" line was supposed to mean that if Guy would keep his troops in line, and not start offing Saracens left and right (like he went ahead and did anyway), he would get to be the king. It's just a shame that she didn't seem to have anything to back it up. Also, I still don't get why she cut off all her hair. Disguise? Mourning? Suddenly way too hot in the desert?
So want to see more Alexander Siddig on the big screen. Also, I can't be the first one to think that Edward Norton sounds like Marlon Brando.
And, this movie has me convinced that David Thewlis has a high BBoC factor. Or it's possible I brought the heavy-duty slash goggles.
I hope I whitefonted everything ok... eta: curse you, wee quicktags!

I thought that she feeling her shame at what she did.
I agree about Thewlis and the BBoC factor.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
t random Is it just me, or have all the recent de-lurks been A-names? Was there a vote to delurk alphabetically that I missed? t /random
(I mean, hi Ailleen.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hmmm. If too many A-names de-lurk, and some X, Y and Z-names go back into lurking, the whole alphabet could tip over....
eta: hi Ailleen!

I finally got around to watching the Judy Garland bio that was on Disc 2 of the "Easter Parade" DVD set. Excellent! Harris Yulin (Quintin Travers) narrated, and they used excerpts from Judy's own recordings/interviews for her never-written autobiography (recreated by a Garland impersonator who nailed her speaking voice) as well as voiceovers with various coworkers/family members of hers. They used the section about "Meet Me in St. Louis" to talk about her relationships with her parents, which I thought was an interesting choice.
I really can't recommend this 2-disc set enough for any "Easter Parade," Fred Astaire, and/or Judy Garland fans.
ETA: I forgot to say, "Hi, Aillean!" So, um, "Hi, Aillean!"

Jessica, we voted in email. Where we support you.
Watched the HP teaser today. I definitely think it would be ok, nay, necessary, for this movie to be PG-13. After all, the books are written on consecutive reading levels. So if you start with 11, IIRC, then GoF is written for 14 year olds. Bring on the dragons, baybee.
Also, am I misremembering, but wasn't Cedric black? And is he not now?
