I just finished watching Crash. I had no idea that the total population of Los Angeles was approximately twenty people.
Also? When it rains there, it rains anvils.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It awesomely does. And yet - and this is something I had never remotely imagined that I might one day say - I was really quite moved when Ludacris freed the slaves.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Suzi, did the Lee Pace at least help dull the pain? (I swear I considered seeing the movie just for his sake for like, a full twenty seconds. But if my love for him wasn't enough to get me to Marmaduke ...)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Lee Pace is in it?? Come on, man, look at your life, look at your choices.

Just checked his imdb page - he's got Lincoln & The Hobbit also happening this year. That should help to class him back up a bit. (Though, seriously, you could get whiplash from his choices. Guess a man's gotta pay the rent, though...)
edit: so busy playing with italics I managed to misspell imdb.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I saw Skyfall last night with D. I pretty much agree with alla y'alls. Bond frequently leaves me cold, because I don't find the banter charming and sexy, I find it dated. I was also seriously bothered by the effete, mincing sexual deviant villain with mommy issues. Fucking really? Judi Dench is the best damn thing about those movies, and I do really enjoy her interactions with Bond. In retrospect, I should have realized that all the focus on her meant she was going to die. Even though we bought tickets to the spendy theater that doesn't allow anyone under 18, there was still a fool who yelled out "OMG THEY CAN'T KILL M!!! And then continued to offer commentary and refused to be shushed. After the lights came up I spotted three middle-aged gay men who seemed to be a bit crocked. I think they were guilty.
Also, I completely respect Craig as Bond, but he just does absolutely nothing for me. I appreciate his physical competence and presence, and I think he did a terrific job with some of the darker parts of this movie.... but meh.
In conclusion,
I want my escape in the form of fun technology, travel, stunts, and shit and not interrupted by baseline stupidity.
This. And I'm looking forward to RED 2.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Mattias has been sick the last few days and as such is allowed more TV time than usual. He watched both Toy Story 1 and 2 while he was home sick yesterday and he asked if we could watch Toy Story 3 together today.
As I mentioned when asking about Wreck-it Ralph, I knew there was emotional stuff in TS3. I haven't realized it was almost entirely directed at the parental units. Oof.
That said, I think it was a fitting send-off for the gang.

I'm rewatching XXX.
Why do I love Vin Diesel so much? Seriously, I do.
The wooden acting, terrible dialog delivered terribly? I don't CARE.
