Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

downloaded the Arcade Fire song "Wake Up", only to find it less without the imagery.

... the words are there, but sense-making they are not. t /Arcade Fire likes carrots But I'm probably the only one here to whom "Where the Wild Things Are" doesn't mean anything except as an embarrassingly bad S4 Buffy episode, even after watching the trailer.

As for Julia Roberts, I'm been feeling v. mellow toward her ever since I watched Duplicity, which I adored to bits. She more than holds her own against Clive Owen (and actually kinda pwns him for most of the movie), which is not an easy feat.

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

Apparently he made her cry during Closer. That would make it easier for me to watch Duplicity, because I hate like that.

I really like the song, but it doesn't give me the chills and joy that the trailer version does. But this is probably a book vs. movie debate. Depends on which you saw/read/heard first. Album version is much harder, whereas trailer version is much more whimsical and joyous and more plunky piano. Good news: found new band to love!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

But I'm probably the only one here to whom "Where the Wild Things Are" doesn't mean anything except as an embarrassingly bad S4 Buffy episode, even after watching the trailer.

This tragedy is easily remedied. Hie thee to a library or book store. Your life will be richer for it.

There's a very chaotic live version of Wake Up in this video. It starts about halfway through, but you should really watch them do Neon Bible in a freight elevator first. It's amazing.

eta: Link!

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

But I'm probably the only one here to whom "Where the Wild Things Are" doesn't mean anything except as an embarrassingly bad S4 Buffy episode, even after watching the trailer.

I have already made the purchase of WTWTA, in anticipation of the lowercase tea. Along with a few Dr Seuss works and "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus".

I found it on youtube anyway.

I would not want to be the dude ripping the magazines.

Thanks, Sue!

milkshake.

Actual movie question: I have a memory of Jason Statham doing a voice for WthWTA. Was it a dream? I do have a tendency for vivid, realistic/mundane dreams that I occasionally have a hard time sorting from reality. Or is Statham doing a voice for another movie?

If no and no, then I totally had a dream that Statham was the voice for some monster/creature.
