Not a lot goes on in my world. I've watched a lot of movies lately. We had a nice little X-Men marathon starting with Wolverine and working our way through 1, 2 and 3. I like those movies. I know most geeky people hate them because they differ from the comics- Whatever- I didn't read them. I don't care. I like them.
I didn't remember a lot from this one. I only watched it three hundred times in 2003. I'm surprised so much left my brain. I'm not sure why but I loved it.
And Shawn Ashmore who plays Iceman looks just like Luke. Seriously. It's weird. I think Tami has a secret... ha ha? no? kay...
Ben Foster was in The Last Stand and he's easily my 3rd or 4th favorite actor though the movie was boring. I would watch most movies just for him though. Hostage, Get Over It. 30 Days of Night. 3:10 to Yuma. He's awesome. Not to mention VINNIE JONES is in this one!
I watched Sugar and Spice. (How dare you Amy and Tami for enjoying it.) It wasn't terrible but I credit James Marsden's adorable personality for the parts I did like.
Steel Magnolias is a movie I'll never watch again. I don't understand the appeal. It was sad at every turn and pretty boring. And butts. Man butts everywhere. I think there were more butts in a two minute scene than there were in every movie made in the eighty's and ninety's put together.
I saw Eclipse. Easily the best Twilight Saga movie. I not only enjoyed it as the best Twilight but I enjoyed it as it's own movie.
.
The guy who played Riley- adorable. Even as a red eyed bad-A vampire he was still adorable. Amy wouldn't let me forget during the movie. He's Australian which adds a little something special.
And Felix- totally hot and totally tall. Dude is over six and a half feet tall and we all now how I like a tall man. ;) Tami and Amy keep telling me he looks like an oaf or could play Frankensteins monster... So what?! He's peachy Keen.
He just so happens to be in X2 and X3. -Really hot in those... I did not watch them because of him though. -Wolverine was on HBO and it made me wanna watch the others- it's coincidence. Now that I think about it- James Marsden is also in the X-Men movies... Hmm..................
Moving on.
I still mock the wolves in the movies though... silly little puppies...
Everyone looked better in this one though. Though their white make up was terrible- the majority of them look much better and less cheap and I didn't hate Rosalie or Jasper as I had before.
I watched The Losers. It reminded me of The A-Team but not. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Except three scenes of naughty that made me uncomfortable. There were a few highly humorous scenes- most involving Chris Evans. I don't know if you would like it but I don't get all technical as some people do.
I couldn't watch X-Men without someone bringing up some problem certain groups had with the government. Why do people try to look for the hidden political or religious or environmental meaning in movies? Unless it is obvious about the meaning like- The Happening (There is no excuse)- Get over it. Don't look so deep into it. Even if it's meant to be a message- look over it. Ignore it if you must. I didn't completely hate Avatar because I wasn't looking at it as though I were watching Pocahontas and Fern Gully with a hint of The Smurfs. Embrace the Bluepees (As I like to call the Na'vi) But we're not talking about Avatar right now....
Which reminds me-
I also saw The Last Airbender and let me tell ya, it was not as awesome as the show.
They pronounce names differently which ticked me off. Uncle Iroh was not a portly fellow with an obsession with tea. Sokka was not as sarcastic or dorky as I had hoped- though there was a slightly humorous moment involving the loss of his boomerang.
It was apparently supposed to take place over several months or weeks, but the way they cut it together and made the time transition it seemed like maybe a week. It wasn't until a character said, "You've been gone for days," that I realized the timeline was much longer than I though. At least it wasn't like the four month transition in New Moon- OH GOSH! I swear- that scene felt like it was actually four months long...
Oh hey... Jackson Rathbone- Jasper in Twilight was Sokka. I wasn't as disgusted as I expected to be but I definitely liked him more as Sokka than Jasper.
I liked the movie though it wasn't up to my standards. It got Tami to watch the show. If you didn't watch the show- you'll probably like the movie. Generally, if you were wanting it to follow the same rules and guidelines that make Avatar: The Last Airbender The Series awesome- you won't get it. (Keep in mind- MuhNight directed it and he screws up everything.)
I really love M&M's. I think I'm border lining addiction. As soon as one bag is empty I gotta get a new one.
Same with these DeLICious Honey Barbecue Chicken Any'tizers. *sings in a high voice* YUMMY! And I can nuke em so I can eat them in two minutes. And that's always a plus. WARNING: Will cause moderate to severe heartburn. Eat in Moderation (Which I can't seem to do.)
I'm hoping that within' the next month or so I'll be able to get into a better habit that involves walking on the treadmill I dished $400 for and Slimfast but I have no willpower. I should, cuz I'm outta shape and have heartburn from too many any'tizers that not even ice cream or Pepto can heal.
But I'm a morning person. I do much better during the day if I get started between 5:00 to 7:00 am. My schedule now involves forcing myself to go to sleep when the sun creeps out from the blanket I pinned to my wall as a curtain and then kicking myself because I only have a few hours before I gotta work. I shouldn't do this. I already lack energy from my Vitamin D deficiency because I never eat greens or see the sun, so add the fact that I can't pull myself away from the computer at 2:30 in the morning and I'm a sleepy drone. If I could wake up that early and walk before I have to work it would be SWEET! I'd have energy for the day and I wouldn't be too tired to walk Taylee to and from school that she starts in two months.
It'll change. I hope so anyways. I'm a chunky monkey and would like to not be one.
I need some movies to Netflix. I'm planning on watching the two I currently have (The Lovely Bones and Return to Oz) And watching a few online like Full Metal Jacket. I need to watch these dang movies faster. I should watch them and send them back within a three day span. Usually it takes me a week or two which is a major waist of money and perfectly good movies I could have been getting. Anyways. I think I'm done for now... I suppose.
I leave you with this little nugget of wisdom.
Loneliness and cheeseburgers are a dangerous mix.

I can't help but feel as though there were certain digs being taken at me somewhere in there around The Losers.
I won't watch The Last Airbender. Munight is a giant festering douche, and I don't give a crap about his lame movie.
I think the X-Men movies are okay, but not my favorite. But I'm choosy that way. The Wolverine movie was way on the side of gheyness.
Who doesn't love M&M's, although you can't mix them with any other chocolate, cuz they won't taste right.
Don't care about Twilight or all of the fangirl Twihards out there. Other than as an MST3K-style movie to fisk. Speaking of which, Mike Nelson and co. have brought out Rifftracks for Twilight and New Moon, which should make them about 100x more enjoyable.
That's it. That's all I've got.
BTW, you haven't yet reviewed the superfantastic season premier of Psyche! For shame.
