I'm a female virgin trying to write a sex scene right now from the first-person perspective of a guy. Sheesh, this is hard. Doesn't anybody have some quantum physics or rocket science I could work on instead? (On one hand, I have Dom's picture up on my computer to use as inspiration. On the other hand ... well, on the other hand, I have Dom's picture up on my computer to use as inspiration. It's distracting enough already until I realize I'm supposed to be writing sort of from his perspective. Urgh.)

Oh, and today's embarrassing admission -- I'm seriously thinking of watching "Single Santa Seeks Mrs. Claus" on the Hallmark Channel Saturday night. No, really. I mean, it stars Steve Guttenberg and ... well, that's it. That man's acting career is so cheesy, he's practically a walking Velveeta factory, and God knows I haven't seen nearly enough horribly awful made-for-TV Christmas movies just yet this year.

And Steve Guttenberg plays Santa Claus, for crying out loud. (Sort of.) Remember when they used to actually cast people who looked like Santa to play Santa? And then it was like they ran out of convincing older actors to play Santa. (Although I would kill to see Christopher Lee play Santa, wouldn't you? I don't think it would end without death and nightmares, but my three favorite Christmas viewing pleasures are currently Scrooged, Bad Santa, and that episode of Tales From the Crypt where the killer Santa terrorized Mary Ellen Trainor, so I'm not really one to suggest holiday viewing entertainment to anyone.) Now I just think they pick Santa actors out of a hat. "You know, Corey Feldman's never played Santa before ..."

Just for the record, the only movies I own that prominently feature Christmas are Love Actually and Trading Places. I definitely need to pick up a holiday movie or two before I do something rash ... like, say, watching Steve Guttenberg play Santa.

EDIT: I let myself have a Mountain Dew tonight because I behaved and didn't have soda for a week, and now I'm fucking wired and my stomach's all icky, so I think drinking a Big Slam of Mountain Dew right before bed will be a pretty decent deterrent for drinking any soda for yet another week. 'Cause seriously, GYAH. *bounces around the room*

CAFFEINE-ADDICTED ROOMMATE OF EDIT: Well, hell, it's better than nothing ...

MUSIC LOVER OF EDIT: Okay, who knows what song it is that's playing during the hip-hop/country iPod commercial? And do you have it? 'Cause I think I kind of like it.

Two actors who need to play Santa:

- Sean Connery
- William Shatner

Scrooged (and A Christmas Story) has been a holiday staple for me since I was like, 6. Which, considering I watched stuff like that instead of, like, Miracle On 34th Street... that might explain a bit about my personality.

And dude, I know the whole Mountain Dew issue. I went for a week with just Kool-Aid and water, and then drank a can of Dew and I swear I was freaking buzzed for a good twelve hours. In that, "OMGOMGOMG HIHIHI MY NAME'S ERIN HIHIHI OMG CUTE HIHIHI LOOK SHINY!"-and-twitching-constantly kind of way.

I don't really have any Christmas movies, either. Out of my DVD collection, there's Ghostbusters 2 (about as close to one as I have), Man On The Moon (the Carnegie Hall scene), Miracle (where they're exchanging gifts), and two episodes from the Sports Night DVD set.

If no one buys me a copy of "It's A Wonderful Life" on DVD, and if Wal-Mart still has any of it after Christmas, I'll buy that.

You mentioned Tales From The Crypt in relation to Christmas stuff. Did you know that they made a Christmas album years ago, called "Have Yourself A Scary Little Christmas"? I highly recommend it...

i actually haven't heard the ipod commercial...but could it be nelly/tim mcgraw "Over and Over"...only song i can think of that could possibly fit into that critera.....

If it makes you feel any better, I'm a female very-not-a-virgin and I had tremendous difficulty writing sex scenes from a male perspective the two times I did it. I finally decided that male physiology isn't *that* different than female, so I went with what I knew and fudged the rest.

It would probably help if I hadn't been too embarrassed to ask my husband a couple of questions, but I just couldn't do it. ::shakes head::

The hiphop song from that mp3 player commercial...

[malhablada.livejournal.com]

The song from the version I've seen is Black Eyed Peas ~ The Boogie that be, which I've uploaded for you here.

The part of the song from the commercial is actually a relatively short part of the song (about 2:07 - 2:25), which sucks. But the rest of the song is decent too. Enjoy!

Get a guy to beta for you. That's what I did when I wrote a blowjob scene from a male POV.

I mean, it stars Steve Guttenberg and ...

He's a cheesy actor, but he is a cutie-patootie, isn't he? Yeah, I've watched some clinkers because Guttenberg was in them.

And Christopher Lee as Santa? Ooooo. A scary Santa - a real elf, full of old magic and vague menace, who travels with the European "black peter", and the knowledge that he could choose to eat your entrails instead of leaving you presents, if he wanted to. I'd so watch that. Over and over and over.

my holiday movies are The Ref with Judy Davis, Kevin Spacey, Denis Leary, Christine Baranski (HILARIOUS) and Lion in Winter - the ulitmate dysfunctional family holiday gathering. Where else could you see Katharine Hepburn wrapping gifts while verbally slicing Anthony Hopkins to 'mama's boy' pieces.

"You know, Corey Feldman's never played Santa before ..."

I would pay good money to see that happen.

Hey, he was in Gremlins, that's a Christmas movie.

[opportunemoment.livejournal.com]

I highly reccommend The Muppet Christmas Carol. I just do. Because how can you possibly beat a film where the Great Gonzo plays a blue furry Charles Dickens who hangs out with a rat, and Michael Caine sings duets with a tiny disabled frog?

I miss Mountain Dew. I don't think they sell it over here any more.

I can't believe no one has brought up The Nightmare Before Christmas (the only Xmas movie I think I have on DVD or VHS). Also, last week I rewatched The Family Guy's Xmas episode and now I want to make a couple of icons from it...
