OMG WAAAAAAAAAAAANT. I swear, if I could just buy a bunch of movie posters and decorate the (possibly) new apartment with 'em and make it look like a second-rate movie theater, I'd be all giddy. :)

In related news, movie trailers ...

Jarhead -- "Welcome to the suck." Heh. (Also, if this is Jamie Foxx's way of making up for Stealth, it just might work.)

Shopgirl -- Well, that could be cute. And hell, at least it means that's a few more months of the year Stve Martin wasn't making a Cheaper by the Dozen sequel.

Yours, Mine, and Ours -- Speaking of Cheaper By The Dozen ... Hollywood, is it too much to ask to just have a comedy where the couple has one or two kids anymore? Or is casting every child who walks across the lot during pre-production now some sort of imperative?

Two For The Money -- I swear, I will see movies I would never watch otherwise if Matthew McConnaughey is in them. Yummy.

The Fog -- I think I like it better when Maggie Grace and Tom Welling are having their lives threatened by Mira Furlan in monster need of a hot-oil treatment and a bald billionaire trying to fuck him, respectively.

The Thing About My Parents -- Considering the only thing I've ever liked Paul Reiser in was My Two Dads (and I was ten at the time) ... uh, no.

Everything is Illuminated -- OOOO. That's really kind of gorgeously filmed, if the trailer is any indication.

In other news, an article on the four-person-team season of The Amazing Race coming up. Apparently, the names of the teams are going to be released today. You know, I really want to give them some credit, because even when TAR's having a bad season, it's still better than nearly every reality show out there. So I guess if I have faith that someone won't screw up this concept, it'll be these guys. (Even though ... ten teams of four? Sheesh, that's about sixteen people more than usual. And how the hell are they going to arrange cabs with teams of four, a cameraman, and a soundguy again? Then again, with all of the money they save on plane tickets, maybe they're just setting them up with vans everywhere. *shrugs*)

England's highest mountain conquered by two-year-old. Well, I suppose getting her up the mountains now while she's full of the energy of a toddler is a good plan. ;)

Pennsylvania couple get married at McDonald's. You realize, of course, that sooner or later you're going to have to explain to your kids why you didn't get married in a church or someplace normal. Sheesh.

Man claims pet rabbit saved his pregnant wife. Okay, that's kind of cool.

Russia's feeding its cattle confiscated marijuana this winter. Yes, folks, it's the hamburgers you just can't stop eating.

This was on the front page of IMDb today ...

In Valiant, a small but determined pigeon (voiced by Ewan McGregor) dreams of joining the Royal Homing Pigeon Service (RHPS), a brave squadron of birds that deliver messages behind enemy lines. Assigned to the misfits of Squad F, Valiant is soon at the front lines facing dangers from General Von Talon (Tim Curry), a ruthless falcon working for the other side.

Great. Now if I do see the movie, all I'm going to do is spend two hours picturing the falcon in fishnets. (Speaking of, isn't this a thing of beauty? *swoons* I really need to stop slobbering all over the movie posters section of Amazon. But ... but ... look! Look! Look!) ETA: OMG EXCUSE ME WHILE I COVET THIS HARDCORE.

Elsewhere, if you haven't read this post by thebratqueen (and if you're not reading the ongoing saga of TBQ and the Baptist preacher, you're missing out), I made this last night before bed from something she said:



Free for taking by anybody, btw. Just, you know, credit and stuff. (At the very least, credit TBQ, because that is an awesome quote. :))

In other news, ( spoilery for series two of the new Doctor Who. )
