my moral standing is lying down

THEY ARE SO CUUUUUUTE. I somehow started watching Merlin behind the scenes videos again. OH GOD. THEY ARE JUST IRRESISTIBLY CUTE. CANNOT STOP. SEND HELP. (In this case, "help" may also mean "enabling via minimerlin".)

Here, watch Uther being the BAMFiest BAMF who ever BAMFed. Shown to me by spuffyduds. Seriously, Tony Head is fucking amazing. And Spuff, seriously, you need to watch Repo! the Genetic Opera!!!




( OMG AND THEN THERE WERE JGL'S HIPBONES. THEY ARE SO BITABLE. SO VERY VERY BITABLE. )

I'm sure this has made the rounds already, but JGL (in NOLA) signing checks from hitRECord.org to their SXSW contributors is, basically, THE SWEETEST THING EVER.

from my tumblr



"I like doing things..." [looks at camera] "...with you."

<3

Sooo.... my throat is all sorts of fucked up. You know that talking louder thing that happens when you get drunk? Well, I don't know if I was screaming or what, exactly, but I'm all squeaky and whispery when I talk. It's actually pretty hilarious as I keep forgetting and then suddenly laugh or try to say something to my roomie and it comes out silent for a second or two before my voice squeakily kicks in. SRS LOLZ PEOPLE.

Completely unrelatedly, Rian Johnson's tumblr for his new movie, Looper posted a pic of JGL, Noah Segan, and Lukas Haas!!! BRICK REUNION IN NOLA!!!! This made me all sorts of *flail* and happy because you guys may or may not know how much I love Brick!

on my tumblr:


( ...and now, for some AWESOME fanart (haha, not by me) )

Um, yeah. That's all I've got for now. I'm supposed to be posting my Sex Is Not the Enemy fic today, but I don't think I'll be able to until later. IT HAS BEEN GIVING ME ALL SORTS OF TROUBLE. =/

ETA: I just saw that paperflower86 is selling her papercuts. I made this post about 12 hours after she'd posted her sale and didn't know about it til now. AND AND AND the Arthur/Eames papercut I love hadn't been claimed. WELL IT IS NOW. IT IS CLEARLY THE UNIVERSE'S VALENTINES DAY PRESENT TO ME.

A;LSJDLFJASLDFJASDLJF AHAHAHAHA I HOPE SOMEONE FILLS THIS comment_fic PROMPT OMFG

RPF, Lady Gaga&Joseph Gordon-Levitt, she's had a crush on him ever since Angels in the Outfield and then she sees the video of him singing "Bad Romance"

And now I want to read/write something where they're in a dream and Eames forges Lady Gaga (in one of her crazier-looking personas) but Arthur is so uninterested in pop culture that he doesn't know the reference and is totally turned on and freaked out at the same time. AHAHAHAH THIS MENTAL IMAGE WILL KEEP ME ENTERTAINED FOR... at least half an hour.


In other news, this was originally going to be a post about how I really really want to write more introspective ficlets for Brick but I'm lazy. I need prompts because I have no ideas for one (because I'm lazy), and also whatever I write will definitely be a ficlet as the language thing is somewhat difficult to sustain for anything longer than 1,000 words at a time (because I'm lazy).

There you have it.

ETA: Ahahah, today's XKCD is too true.

Fall Formal is cancelled.

Of course it's not completely unexpected in light of the unfortunate and unexpected death of JGL's brother just two weeks ago.

I can't begrudge him his grief, of course. I'm so sad about all of this.

You can read JGL's message about the cancellation here.

As I said on twitter earlier today:

current obsessions: mind-heist, porn, neo-noir, porn, and victorian romance. and hockey. and porn. WHAT IS MY BRAIN?

I told Liz that maybe I shouldn't have tweeted with so much porn in there but w/e, it's not like anyone who doesn't actually know me would be surprised. I said people might be more surprised at the Victorian romance part of it. To which she said "victorian romance = porn" and I said that it's repressed porn but hot nonetheless and we both kind of HEEEEE'd over it. =D

Just finished reading Pride & Prejudice for the first time ever. It was wonderful; the dialogue was hilarious and Elizabeth Bennett's conversation with Mr. Darcy at the end is simply wonderful. Everything that I expected from the BBC TV miniseries with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle from the mid-90s. I blame the start of my Anglophilia on that TV series. My poor 14-year-old heart couldn't take it and buckled under the strain of Mr. Darcy's oh-so-British reserve (and never mind the accent)!

I borrowed Juliet's DVDs and am looking extremely forward to watching them tonight.

In addition, I can't wait to see Brick again; I'm awaiting the arrival of the DVD. Damn media mail; takes too long and it's not trackable. =(

So in direct contrast to my insanely obsessive and passionate love for THARRRD (see previous post), I have a slightly smaller, milder appreciation for JGL. Which is not to say I don't enjoy his varied and variable faces; his creativity and musical talent; his acting ability (which is not shoddy at all); his lovely voice (I am in full support of him going through life as a musical, constantly singing La Valse a Milles Temps through the streets of NYC, hopefully where I can hear him on my lunch hour, in a mix of French and English); his love of France (even though I am an anglophile and thus have a strong urge to dislike anything French); his silly hipster style.... but.

Well. It's actually all quite ironic and amusing (to me, at least), considering how I love Eames, but how much I lovvvvve Arthur. Which pains me to no end, NGL.

Erm, I went a bit off-topic there, actually. Oops.

I meant to talk about how I've enjoyed some of JGL's backlog but nothing really reached out and grabbed me. Mysterious Skin was interesting (and who doesn't appreciate the chance to see JGL's pert little backside and his orgasm face?), but nothing to write home about; 500 Days of Summer was supremely entertaining, lovely, and heartbreaking all in one, but not my usual type of fare; The Lookout was interesting as well (and I got to squee for a sec because JGL PLAYING HOCKEY = YES PLEASE AND THANK YOU).

But Brick I loved.

It's one of those movies where the style is different and deliberately so. It's one of those movies that you have a decided opinion of. Either way; you kind of love it or just don't get it. I can totally understand where some might watch it and be bored by it or just not be really engaged; they might think it tried too hard maybe? Or that it wasn't anything unusual. But oooh, I see it. I get it. The tone, the fast pacing of the dialogue, the give-and-take; almost as if the verbal exchanges were a dance; specific steps to be taken at specific beats and don't slow down, don't make even one misstep or it'll all be lost.

If I were a film student, I'd actually have references to make instead of feelings to go on.

There was a scene or two which some might say were overacted and a few more which some might say were underacted, but those scenes contributed to the tone; the odd, creepy, fast-yet-slow pace which just had me watching in fascination as it all unfolded.

And oddly, it was almost like Romeo + Juliet -- like period speech anachronistically thrust into modern day.

It had that quality about it. <3


AND NOW FOR THE SHALLOW: OMG JGL/BRENDAN WAS REALLY CUTE IN THIS WITH HIS WAVY/CURLY HAIR ALL IN HIS FACE AND HIS LITTLE SPECTACLES AND HIS HANDS CONSTANTLY STUFFED IN HIS JACKET POCKET WITH HIS BACK HUNCHED OVER. HE WAS JUST CONSTANTLY ADORABLE; THERE WAS NO SCENE IN WHICH HE WAS NOT ADORABLE. AND HOT. AND THE QUICKNESS OF HIS BRAIN WAS SUPER HOT. IN ADDITION, LAURA WAS HOT AND I HOPE HE GOT TO HIT THAT AND ALSO THEIR ALMOST-KISSING SCENES WERE REALLY HOT TOO.

...and as a side note, Lukas Haas was in it! (I practically lunged out of my seat when I saw him.) WTF, DO I HAVE TO START PLAYING 6-DEGREES OF INCEPTION NOW?!

(BTW, not apologizing for this one because it was actually less gratuitous than my last post.)

OMG SLEEP NOW.


ETA: Okay, yes, I'm dumb. A neo-noir film, with dialogue homage to Dashiell Hammett, author of The Maltese Falcon and The Thin Man, among others.
