Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

I know what all these words mean, but this sentence makes no sense.

Ah, crap.

RW could bite me, but she would have to pay extra.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, and my category was only "looks better to me in interviews than in movie roles." FYI.

ita, have you seen the movie? I didn't particularly like it (more assholishness on display than the point I think they were trying to make, about inane and ridiculous) but the scene that I think resulted in that which makes you queasy was rather psycho and intense and really hard to watch. Actually, that's one part that probably made me really uncomfortable with the film. I was ok in the book, but there is a remove there. And the stories my brother had told me makes me familiar with it. BUT. I'd like to think actors would divorce themself from that after the fact, but... it was really unpleasant.

Which doesn't remove your unease.

Some people should just not have guns. Actors or soldiers.

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

From MSNBC:

Jake Gyllenhaal had a violent eruption on the set of “Jarhead,” going off-script and punching out a co-star.

In one scene from the movie about the 1991 Gulf War, Gyllenhaal’s character puts his rifle muzzle in another actor’s mouth.

“When I pulled it out, [I hit myself in the mouth and] I remember I looked down and saw that my tooth had come off,” Gyllenhaal told reporters while promoting the flick. “For some reason,” Gyllenhaal said, “I just got so angry that I had chipped my tooth ... and just started hitting him and we didn’t talk for a month after that.”

Director Sam Mendes said the actor just got lost in the moment. “It’s 115 degrees, you’re away from trees, cars, everything,” Mendes told the Calgary Sun. “You can’t hear anything because the wind’s blowing. You don’t have your clothes, your car, your girlfriend, anything. And I really think Jake forgot he was acting a lot of times.”

"The shit out of him" is me overreacting. Jake hitting his co-worker even once is him...well, needing help.

"My drink preference does not indicate my sexual preference. "

Did JG not have the bad hair that he had at the end of Jarhead? (if that's the one he was in.) It was SO BAD. All the wigs were. Why didn't they just film the haired part before the marine haircuts?

For some reason, I have the feeling that their pre-taping hair-cut must have looked uglier than the wigs. Of course, that's mostly because I believe in the theory that "All sentinent creatures have some form of common sense"

I will confess this is not the first time I have found someone who is probably a bad person physically attractive.

Art Crawl!!!

"Close to Home" is very depressing. I'm glad that "Numb3rs" is on now.

And man, that is a disturbing story about Jake Gyllenhaal.

I don't know if he's bad. I was gonna go for sick, because it's less awful. Still, physical violence...it's special for me. It needs a reason. That was not a reason. That disturbs me at my core. It's unsettling for me, and scares me.

I certainly can get that.

I freaked out totally on my brother when he told me (much after the fact) about the dude who rather flipped with the M-16, pointing it everywhere. And that he got to stay in basic.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I try to be helpful, and help you keep your act up, head you off at the not nice pass, and I get the third degree?

Next time I'll let you go all the way, see if I care.
ONE QUESTION. I asked ONE QUESTION. Someone is being just a wee bit too touchy.
