Went to see "Monster" today, and oh my God, does Charlize Theron need to win an Oscar. Like, right now. And it wasn't just the physical transformation, it was ... it was ... look, you know how Charlize Theron is just one of those actresses you look at and think, "You know, if she got in a good movie, she'd show real talent"?

This is that movie. And quite frankly, while it's merely a good movie, Charlize carries the role to another level.

Please win tomorrow. Oh, please, please win.

That spot of skin right under my nose is so dry right now from blowing my nose that I'm pretty sure I could smooth down woodworking projects with it. Owie.

Oh, and I've said it before, and I'll say it again ... the next time I sit next to someone who keeps a constant "obvious commentary" of the movie I'm watching, they're getting their snacks shoved so far up their ass they'll be sneezing Milk Duds for a week. Yeah, that means you, monkey boy who sat next to me. I don't think the friend you came with needed "That's the police!" and "Ooo, she's going to shoot him!" even if he did look like he was a few talking animals short of a Disney movie.

And also, thank you for teaching that it is physically possible for someone sitting next to you to block your view of the screen simply by wearing the puffiest winter coat known to man.

EDIT: Wow. Way to be behind the times, pontiff.

SON OF EDIT: Anyone else want in?

*squee*

"Earthquake" is on?! How come no one tells me these things? When I get rich and famous, I'm going to hire someone specifically to inform me when '70s disaster movies are on TV.

I'd better get back to the TV before the scene where the elevator crashes. Oh, for the days when the horrific end to an elevator falling to its squishy demise was a can of obscenely bright red paint flung at the camera. *swoons*

P.S. George Kennedy is some kind of superhero. Never tell me any different.

P.P.S. You know, I should go to Borders for that Make Your Own Box Set Sale. I could buy "Earthquake", "Towering Inferno", "Poseidon Adventure", "Airport", and "Airport '75" and call it the "You've never seen Superman and George Kennedy/Steve McQueen/Gene Hackman in the same room, now, have -- okay, so maybe I should shut up" box set.

P.P.P.S. *snerk* Hmm. Perhaps we've learned it's a bad idea to have a swinging wrought-iron chandelier in the seismology institute.
