The Charlton Heston of our generation, eh?
Exactly the story I was thinking of.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Rewatched Stay last night, and damn, that is just a pretty movie with a great ambience and the editing is just divine. Love all the morphing scenes and the flips that happen so fast that you're not sure what you just saw. Maybe something changed, but what?!
I also was dragged to see Passengers over the weekend, and was so not expecting it to be a romantic drama. Blech. Don't see it expecting a supernatural thriller. In fact, just don't see it. the only plus was the awesomely awesome trailer for Australia.
Plot, what plot? Hugh Jackman is HOT! And sweaty, and barechested, and speaking with his native accent. Yum? YUM!
I also found it amusing that my brother was more excited over Wolvie than Nicole Kidman.

Crowd Forces Cancellation of "Twilight" Movie Event in San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- A planned meet-and-greet for the star of teenaged vampire movie is cancelled after hundreds of fans stormed the entrance to the Stonestown Galleria Mall.
People started crowding the front of the mall at about 5:00 a.m. Monday for the chance to buy a t-shirt and get a wristband to meet Robert Pattinson who plays the character of Edward in the "Twilight" movie. That film, based on at least five popular books, is due to open in theaters later this month.
Organizers reportedly cancelled the event because of the crush of fans. Witnesses tell KRON 4's Yoli Aceves the large crowd overwhelmed a list organizers had set up to register fans to meet the actor.
It's unclear if the event will be rescheduled.
In other news, I watched Blue Crush and Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay this weekend. Both of my crushes on Hawai'i and Kal Penn continue to be epic. Clearly, Harold and Kumar need to learn how to surf in Oahu in the next movie.

Compassionately intolerant
Weirdly, the headline made me think the event was canceled by marauding protesters.

I'm only slightly embarassed to say that Blue Crush is basically the reason I ended up on the North Shore last Thanksgiving. However, it was only coincidence that I managed to be there during one of the Triple Crown surfing events.
Between that and staying just down the beach from where they filmed Lost, I almost felt like a fangirl.

The free release nonprofit angle might protect the makers from losing if it comes to litigation, but the Tolkein Estate's lawyers would not be my first choice of opponent in a legal snafu.
