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?

Oh! Oh! You liked it? Cool!!! Can't wait to see that--not sure when.

Me too on the movies--I can't believe how many I've seen, and look forward to seeing, this year. Loved Nick Stahl, too--I could drown in his eyes. Forget Arnold--GIVE ME NICK!

C, going home to write...Nightcrawler is talking, LOUD

Yes, I liked it a lot. It did have its bad points, but not a lot of them, thank God. And the nice little lit references throughout were just cool. (And wait until you hear Dorian Grey "growl." I think I was about to pounce through the screen at that point.)

And Nick Stahl ... you know, I remember seeing the trailer to T3 the first time and thinking, "I'm not sure I want to see the movie, but daaaaaaamn, does Nick scruff up nice!" He does kinda need the scruff, what with the babyface, but still ... mmmmmm. ;)

I'm relieved you liked LXG. I want to see it and was pretty sure it was going to suck.

Must see PotC this weekend if I can find the time. Might take myself Sunday afternoon while hubby is at his gig. Or might see LXG then and wait to see PotC with him. But Must. See. Movie. this weekend.

TP, so without saying anything, how'd you like the end? I liked it.

It does scream T-4 though--LOL!

You know who Nick Stahl reminds me of? The doc on Deep Space 9. LOL.

C, about to let my muse have his way with me tonight, heh heh

How'd I like the end? Let me put it this way -- if Kate wants to switch universes with me, I've got no problem with that. :)

You have no idea how much I want to write "after the end of the movie" fic for T3. Mostly for the porn. ;)

Was it only me then that thought Connor a little too passive to end up as the head of the world resistance. In comparision to Clare Danes's character especially. He doesn't exactly snine through with initiave or take chargeness.

Wouldn't that suck for the Global Machine Civilization, though.

The 100 millionth attempt is finally crowned with success and Connor lies dead. The souless killing automotons throw up their hands and put on their bestest dresses, twirling around and singing kumbaya.

And then a drunken bum climbs from under the grotesque (yet very cinematic) ruin of the Statue of Liberty and cries to the uncaring skies. "You bastards! You finaly done it... wait. Dude! Did YOU fuck up!"

"What?" The Global Machine Civilization asks warily.

"What, you didn't know? This guy was just an errand boy. Now you gotta deal with his better half, and dude... I'm so out of here."

*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.

Dude, you owe me for the laptop screen you just made me ruin with a mouthful of Pepsi.

And now my eyelid's twitching funny. Damn you. ;)

Re:

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.

Re:

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!
