Just got back from seeing LXG, and I've just got to say that I love how many awesome, awesome movies are ending up in the theater right now. Then again, so far since Tuesday, I've seen Nick Stahl all scruffy and cute in T3, Orly and Johnny in all of their swashbuckling yumminess in PotC, and Stuart Townsend in all that glorious foppishness in LXG.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you. It's just that I'm not sure my estrogen, my saliva glands, and various other body parts I definitely won't be mentioning in polite company such as this can really handle this much stress. I should probably check by going to see Pirates again, but I'm pretty sure they'd find me on the floor after the movie, a quivering wreck with a goofy smile plastered on my face that just won't. Go. Away.

Which would, you know, be embarrassing after I did the same thing on opening day of X2. I think I should consider that a lesson learned, don't you?

*spew* Oh, God. Ain't that the truth. "Nothing, it's just ... you remind me of my mom." Anybody who reminds John Connor of his mother should be avoided at all costs before they smite your ass.

And yeah, I did think John was a little too passive, but I was willing to give him a little credit in that respect because a.) he'd suddenly had his belief that they'd stopped the whole thing and he might not have to do this royally thrashed, b.) he only had a few hours to accept the truth before the shit hit the fan, c.) his "lieutenants" weren't exactly like that, either, until things went nuts, d.) I don't doubt for a minute that he was Cleo, Queen of Denial up until the very last second, and that if we were given an extra ten minutes or so, we would have seen him accept the truth and get into gear, and e.) Nick Stahl is hot and I am, above all else, driven by my yammering hormones in situations like these. ;)

Oh Yeah! That's right! The Deeply Oedipal Portion of the movie was brought to you by the Freak You Out Foundation. Help Us Help You Drive You to Early Coronary.

Issues, man.

"My girlfriend is a lot like my mom and my dad is the back room with his unmentionables stuck in a socket, eating breakfast.

Also he's due to kill me in 30 years.

tea?"

Deeeeep issues.

Well, you just have to look at that movie with the eyes of a person who took a psychology class freshman year.

Come on! It's fun!

Just think about Connor huddling in a coffin surrounded by guns !

Actually a this point I am almost afraid to check the credits for the movie. I might find Whedon and Noxon's names. Especially considering the whole " And now I shall pull out my source of powe (aka uranium core) r out of my manly pecs.. wait.. what.."

"Oh, maaan. that's disgusting."

"Ewwww."

"Shut up puny humans, I have been experimenting with gua-co-mo-leee."


... well ok maybe not Noxon's. Unless they cut out a whole portion about Kate trying to rape Connor and Aaahnold getting addicted to Texaco petrol as a substitute for his sadly deceased lesbian girlfriend. (theirloveissopostapocolyptic).

*user collapses in a fit of giggles* You know, you put me in the Mutant Enemy mindframe with the Whedon/Noxon talk and then you went and put it like that.

You know what my immediate thought was? "Yeah, like Kate would have to rape Connor. She's blonde, his father liked her at one point or another ... those are the two main criteria for getting Connor to have sex with you, isn't it?"

Wow. I think I got whiplash from switching fandoms that fast. And nausea from thinking about how Darla also fits those criteria. Ick.

Ok, we shall not be talking about deeply disterbing mechanics of the iterpersonal relationships in Whedonverse.

God.

His name is Connor, his father left him in a demension which is due to be overran by demonic machines, he;'s brought by unlikable step parents who tie him to a tree and then run away to be impaled by a renegade x-files office, while Connor was busy convincing his insane mother to join him in immortal undeadness... it all fits! Oh my God!


Oh, damn. Ohhh damn. Men in Black should be storming this location any second now. I gotta do something!

Time to build a time machine and travel back in time to kill Joss Whedon in his bed before he dooms us all!

While I am there I'll also TP Falwell's house and tell THurmond about this whole gay business in advance. Unless it turns out he's really a zombie sent back in time to protect Whedon from me.....

Dude, I want to see this movie, and I want to see it NOW. I'd trade in those two B.Fleck/J.Lo monstrosities and whatever godawful film Kate Hudson releases this week if it meant I was getting "Strom Thurmond: Zombie Warrior".

Then again, wasn't he an extra on the skeleton crew in PotC? I could have sworn I saw him swabbing Captain Barbossa's poop deck. (This slashy sexual innuendo brought to you by Liberal-O's ... with the hint of naughty sexual thoughts in every yummy bite!)

Know, O Princess of trolls, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and Saddam bit the big one and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the sons of Bush, there was an age undreamed of... Hither came Strom the Zommbie Warrior, black-haired, sullen eyed, bible in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic bigotry and gigantic unlifespan, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Civil Liberty under his sandled feet.


Listen to me, mortals and despair.

And Lo this is a song of the mighty deeds done with sheep and Yea these deeds were done without sheep's consent and Lo did they bleat mightily and called out for a here and ere long the mighty warrior didst walkest the Earth and the grounds didst shakest (and the little bits of the warrior did break off and fall down).

for he was Strom! The Zombie Warrior!

Ahoy!
