Evil Wrapped in a Fangirl Disguise

And you cannot eat an ear of corn with braces!

I'm not 100% sure what you're referring to, but I can eat corn with braces... I've been doing it for the last 2 1/2 years... Speaking of which.. whoohoo! less than 2 months til I get em off!

Enjoy Seattle.

I hate you.

hehe I kid

From:

Well, I guess I'm the weenie than, huh? :D

When I had braces they wouldn't let me eat corn on the cob, which we grow, because a)it would supposedly hurt and b)take the braces right off my teeth. I never tried to argue. But then, I did have two bits where there was just wire due to have baby teeth still so maybe they wanted me to be extra careful...?

*shrug* But Yea getting them removed!! It's such a great thing to be free of.

Thanks, I'll try to enjoy it.

:P

Oh, hey, have you been following Firefly/Serenity news? Stuff is starting to come out!

From:

I have a hell of a time cleaning out my braces after eating the corn, but I don't have much trouble. I kinda got past the fear of breaking brackets because I've broken them on FRENCH FRIES before... french fries, of all things. So I just don't care. And since I'm home, if I break one, it's right to the ortho, instead of having to organize a ride from Seattle to Bellevue where my other ortho's at....

And no, I haven't been keeping up with the Serenity movie. Unfortunately, I totally forgot about Firefly for awhile until I caught a couple episodes of Two Guys and A Girl last week while I was at home and saw Nathan Fillion and said Oooooh yeah, Firefly... movie... Whoops. Any trailers yet? Or just info?

From:

Nothing so exciting as a trailer for Serenity yet, they've only been shooting since the beginning of June. But Nathan has posted some messages to fans, as has Jewel. I've seen a couple of "Oh, I just got out of my make-up trailer and am walking to get food" pictures of the cast. Nothing exciting. But from all of the set reports from extras, it sounds like it's gonna be shiny.

From:

I swear I read, "it sounds like it's gona be shitty" and my heart sunk for a moment when I realized there was an "n" and not two "t's" hehe whoops. I can't wait for it to come out. it's really such a shame that they had to cancel Firefly. Such an awesome show.

From:

LOL. No no no. S-H-I-N-Y, not S-H-I-T-T-Y. Although it could be that, but I'm really thinking not. I bet when the movie comes out, if it's a huge success like it really deserves to be, Fox is going to be kicking themselves in the head for cancelling it. Dumbasses. I think we should get them started on that now, actually. *kicks Fox repeatedly in the head*

From:

I can never get enough of that icon of yours. Guh - I love Simon! Yes, I shall join in the repeatedly kicking of FOX. They're lame-o's, to say the least. But we have the DVDs and that's ALL that matters - even if the movie turns out to be shit.

On a completely separate note - I watched The Naked Living Room episode of Coupling tonight. Scratch that, I watched the last 10 minutes or so. That's some good stuff. I might have to go out of my way to watch another episode or two. Yay for the BBC!

From:

Well, there you got with Bonden and Faramir. *swoons* Yes, Simon is very nice. Can't wait to see him, like, 15 feet high on the screen. Heh. And everyone else of course. Fox is a bunch of lame-o's. They don't know a good thing when they've got it. Repeatedly. Even if the movie's shit, I'm pretty sure it's gonna turn a pretty penny at the box office what with the fan base and all.

I'm not sure I've seen that episode of Coupling. :( I get my fix on PBS, which is where I first ran into it. Short story- My mom and I were flipping through channels late night on a Saturday after seeing Pirates and I had to back track because we though we recognized a voice. We went back to PBS and *gasp!* it was Commodore Norrington! Talking about sex! We've been hooked since. It is definitely a show worth watching, just stay away from the American version they tried to do on NBC. Same scripts, different actors. It sucked ass.

From:

Yeah - Norrington's pretty spiffy. I still get pissed off at Keira Buttly at the end of Pirates for choosing the weenie over someone as super as Norrington. Kit still maintains that Norrington and Jack's fling gave Norrington crabs though. hehe That's Kit for you.

King Arthur tomorrow! I'm so going and mocking all of it's inaccuracies

From:

I'm just gonna ignore the weenie and focus on the hero.

I love Jack Davenport, ie Norrington, like I love Billy Boyd. Well, almost. How can you not love, at least appreciate, a guy who uses the phrase "courtly man-love" in his own commentary?

Well, at least Elizabeth's rejection (bitch!) freed him up for "chasing pirates". I'm convinced it was more than just a fling with Jack, and that he probably caught a lot more than crabs. But only Jack needs to go there.

Oh, King Arthur. I could go watch it all by myself, but I'll probably wait till the weekend if I see it at all. I look forward to hearing what you thought. Particularly about the inaccuracies.

From:

Since I have no friends here and no one else interested in going to see King Arthur with me, I'm probably gonna go right after work. I was reading on CNN.com yesterday about the movie and it says the only "real" thing about it is the fact that it shares it's name with the Arthurian legends - Arthur - duh. There's no love triangle with Arthur/Lancelot/Guinevere and there's a round table, but no one cares much to sit at it for long enough. Arthur's actually part Roman part Celt I believe and as everyone who knows me, or at least has heard me, the biggest inaccuracy thus far is Guinevere fighting. Never happened. More later.

From:

Your icon makes me laugh. Does it seem like she's been 19/20 forever? Longer than a normal person?

I wish I had friends closer by. I'm leaning toward really wanting to see the movie now, and not really caring either way. But I think I'd enjoy it more with at least my mother to laugh at it with. I saw Lancelot (for the life of me I can't remember how to spell is name, silly Welsh guy) on the Late Late Show, or whatever it's called, and he mentioned that nothing happens with Guinevere because it would distract from the rest of the story. This kind of made me happy. Lancelot usually just annoys me and so when the story fixes in on him I'm just like "Shut up bastards" and "Get a room". I like the idea of Guinevere fighting as just a different "twist" but I wish they'd stop marketing it as real. I'd prefer they just change the characters' names and just say "Here's a fun movie with swords and British guys and half naked warrior women with no basis in reality. Buy popcorn, this is an "American" film so you will eat it. Please remember to leave your IQ at the door and have fun." But no, it has to be "real".

Ahem. Sorry 'bout the mini-rant.

From:

HAHAHAHAHA

OMG, that was the best laugh I've had all day! That was awesome - thank you. Yes, that's exactly what it was. I won't delve deeper into the movie here, you'll have to check my journal for the scoop. What I will say though, is it's sad that although the movie was inaccurate, it was good, but no one was there for the story, just the actors - Ms. Buttly and Ioan and whatever the hell his name is.... But Clive Owen... that was nice ;)

From:

Thanks! It makes me so happy when I'm able to make other people laugh. And in a good way, not in a "Mary tripped and fell, let's point and laugh" kinda way.

I'm glad it wasn't inaccurate and crap. If it's gonna be inaccurate, it should make up for it by being at least semi-entertaining. And I <3 Clive Owen in everything I see him in.

Why the hell isn't there in edit button for the comments? Damn you LJ, damn you to heeeell.

Ahem. Sorry.

The whole point of Secret Window was for girls to stare at Johnny Depp. Simple as that. No one cared about the plot, no one cared about John Turturo, I mean, WHO WOULD? Ahem.

I'm going to watch Spider-Man 2 tomorrow hopefully. I can't wait. It's so cute how Tobey Maguire calls Alfred Molina "Fred." Haha.

<3

From:

I suspected the point of Secret Window going in, but I was also kinda hoping for just a *little* bit more substance than that. Amen on John Turturo. There can't be a single person who saw that movie for him.

Spider-man 2's great. With Tobey and Fred. Hehe. <3's them both.

From:

again i agree, secret wingow sucked. you know, i couldn't get into master and commander. i really wanted to. the thing about the movie that i saw as a pro and con was the fact that they didn't spend time introducing everyone and everything. that way it left more time for story line, but at the same time i thought of it as a bad thing because not having read the books, i was left out in the cold, going "wait, who's that? whats he doing? whats going on?" so yeah, i finally bought the book, i'm gonna read it (well, the first one anyway) and then rewatch it.

i really want to see spiderman 2. i think i'm gonna go saturday night. it'll be jam packed but the hype'll be cool.

also, i'm still sad my neighbors lost my copy of pirates.

From:

just in case you didn't know, the first book won't do you much, or so i'm told as well. my roommate is reading the series and is at book 10 and they just introduced lord blakeney (the nubber) so you still probably won't understand who's who. i got into m&c when i first saw it, but i didn't know who the characters were. best thing to do, just re-watch it and you'll get it. it's an excellent movie and i haven't even read the books - but from what i hear, they're awesome.

From:

really? wow, i had a feeling cause it was based on a series, but i thought that i had read somewhere that the movie was basically a combination of the first and the last book. do you know if thats true.

i really wanted to get into it but haven't had the time to get into the books yet. and especially if i know myself because i'll probably get halfway throught the series and then take a break, and if its all that closely knit to the point where they're still introducing essentially important characters in the tenth book, i may not make it.

From:

From the tidbits I've gotten from my roommate... books 1 through 10 is where you meet the characters... I believe most of the head guys, Mowett, Aubrey, Maturin, perhaps some of the other not so known characters, are there in the beginning... half way through I think Calamy is introduced, Blakeney and Hollum are introduced later and Pullings, if he isn't in the beginning, comes up in the first couple of books.

I'm not sure if it's the first and tenth books that made up the movie, but little bits and pieces of the movie are in random books - and those are the books that are sold with the M&C DVD in the boxset...

I've wanted to read em, but I've been stuck on The Two Towers Lord of the Rings for the last few months.. can't seem to get past it. But I'll probably get into M&C this coming school year.

From:

lotr is great! all three of them. the books are tough to get through, but when you do, you love them for what they hold.

From:

The thing about Master & Commander is that it's really a combination of the first and tenth books of the series. I read the first one sometime at the beginning of last year waaaay before the movie came out, and as far as I can remember only parts of the plot were involved in the movie. As

trademybike said, Lord Blakeney isn't introduced to book ten. I have no idea why they chose to stick those two books together. But I think it's a great movie if you can get in to it. And I thoroughly enjoyed the first one, even if I was constantly flipping to the ship diagram to figure out what they were talking about half of the time. I'd definitely encourage trying the movie again.

Spider-man 2 is definitely worth the price of admission, IMO. The theater was packed even in my li'l town. But, yeah, definitely worth it.

They lost your copy of Pirates? That really sucks. I once had a friend who dropped part of my Fellowship of the Ring book into the bathtub. I don't let her borrow things anymore.

From:

what?!? they dropped your fellowship book in the bath? that sucks! yeah, i had a first edition copy of the book rotk that i accidentally found hidden in a thrift store, and my little brother got pissed off at me and ripped it in half.

From:

First edition?? Wow.

But ripped in half? That's so sad. Ugh. Little brothers can be such a pain in the ass. And that's even an understatement.

From:

yeah, i was pretty pissed. my parents were to. he never found another one to replace it either. oh well.

nice icon, is that from gene rodenbury's earth, the final conflict?
