It's nice to start off the morning watching Sense & Sensibility. Even though I spend a lot of the movie wanting to smack Marianne and fling her at Colonel Brandon.

Emma Thompson's commentary is one my favorites ever, too. She's constantly talking from beginning to end, all of it is interesting, and my favorite bit is when Colonel Brandon first shows up and spots Marianne and Eleanor sees him watching -- "Oh, who's this? He's watching my sister. Quite a dish." *snerk* Just when I think Snape's screwed with my Alan Rickman fangirlishness, Colonel Brandon pulls me back in.

I'm downloading "The Raven" as read by Christopher Walken. Hee. I love that clip so.

EDIT: Every romantic movie starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan should be redone with Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson, just 'cause.

I got a gift certificate from Replay yesterday for twenty bucks, so I went to Suncoast and picked up Jerry Maguire and The Replacements. And looking at my DVD list, the number of movies I have with certain actors in 'em stands thus ... (Don't mind me, I'm bored.)

( The list )

You know, some of those, I feel the need to apologize for. I won't say which.

Also, you know what I realized double-checking IMDb just a minute ago? Jake Gyllenhaal played Billy Crystal's kid in City Slickers. And thinking back on it, I totally remember it now.

Hee ... you learn something new every day. :)

I need to watch an Olympics movie. Let's see ... I have The Cutting Edge and Miracle.

Hmm. I need more Summer Olympics movies. *toddles off to watch*

Random midnight thought

I think it's horribly unfair that when I sing along to the "Once More With Feeling" songs and I get to "Wish I Could Stay", I have to sing Giles' part because I can't hit Tara's high notes. And when I'm singing along to the "Chicago" soundtrack, my easiest song is "When You're Good to Mama", which may have more to do with attitude than the fact that I'm an alto and it's easier for me to sing low than high.

Then again, I'm not really the best singer on the planet, so maybe I shouldn't be trying any of them. Especially since I think I'm starting to hear dogs in three counties howl.
