so i bought choke on dvd the other day because a) i love sam rockwell i think he is wonderful b) because it's based on a chuck palahniuk book and as i have previously, i love his too and c) it was on special at jb for $9.98, how could i refuse. god it's a good film. the old ladies in it are so funny. and when his mother... well, you'll just have to see it. actually, if you intend on also reading the book, might i suggests reading the book first, then watch the film. going in the other direction diminishes the brilliance of the book a bit. "and what ever you do, don't rape me on the bed, the bed is silk". brilliant. heather burns cameo is brilliant. but seriously this boy can move.
my favourite part of iron man 2 was when he was all cocky about his fighter robots and he was at the conference dancing on stage. and charlie's angels when we finally find out that he's the bad guy and he starts dancing while drew barrymore is all tied up.
man im tired. i stayed up late last night not doing anything and now im exhausted. i dont think i'll make it the whole way through work tonight. i don't know, i might. i cleaned my room today whilst listening to maggie gyllenhaal reading the bell jar. i've always wanted to read it, but there are so many other books i wanna read that pop up first and when i found the audio version complete with the dulcet tones of maggie's voice i couldn't resist. she has such a beautiful voice and it makes the bell jar sound so magically elegant. i wish i spoke in a 1950s kind of drawl using amazing words like "oh darling" and "isn't he a card?" and "oh that's just elegant". i'd need a drastic wardrobe change and my hair would need to be in proper curls and not just wild untamed mane kinda curl's. pin curl's if i had the time. or rollers.
i wonder what my stripper name would be. or my roller derby one. i've been thinking about it but it's hard, i'm not that clever. i mean i have come up with alright one's for my roller derby alter ego, but i want a heaps witty one like the names of the characters on whip it.
and we're back to drew barrymore.
i've been trying to find some photo's from yesterday but i don't know where to look. i mean heaps of people took our picture so there have to be some out their somewhere, but where... i thought the age website might have some pictures, but it doesn't. i mean how is the winner of the eurovision song contest bigger breaking news than melbourne getting a world record. especially one relating to comic books, which is normally something reserved for a minority and not enough people to break a world record. i mean i understand gary coleman's death still sorta being a big news story, and dennis hopper's is definitely news worthy, but eurovision...
success. the herald sun website has a gallery. fingers crossed we're on it. could take a while to get through though. the internet has been crazy since the phone lines started going down. and i need to save the download and load capacity for iview tonight because i'll miss doctor who as i'll be at work, so i'll have to watch it on iview.
ok, so there are no pictures of lovely_girl and i. what a shame. i'll keep looking though, maybe some of the photo's will be on facebook or something.
pomegranate and cranberry juice assortments are on sale at coles. i'm feeling a little more awake now. so much juice sugar. and apparently cranberry juice is really good for the skin. and i need all the help i can get.
well here are some moves of sam's. see, i'm not making this up. if he could sing as well he'd be a modern day gene kelly or something. a triple threat.

if i love a man does that make me a crap feminist?
warm turkish apple tea from t2 is awesome on a really cold day. the bom is doing nothing for me at the moment, once the average temp for the day is below 18C, put more clothes on. even with my big warm jacket on today i was cold because my legs and my face were not in said jacket and they were still really cold. brr.
but im home now and in the mood for more ranting. [i do it quite on. i think the title of led zeppelin's opus ramble on was inadvertently inspired by me as is does in fact have little to do with the lord of the rings content of the song.]
i just want to have a little bitch about iron man 2 because i went to see it with the boy on saturday and i was really torn. i know that sam rockwell is kind of type cast some times as an unsuspecting bad guy but it's really hard for me to truly hate him because i love him and when i'm meant to hate his character i just can't help but think that it's the fault of the script writers for not giving him sufficient material to work with. i do like his moves though. he must just throw that in himself. but enough of sam. i was disappointed by the lack of proper character development in the story because i know from what i've read of hulk and future spider man and the release of captain america and thor films that all these marvel entertainment productions are gearing up for a huge avengers series bringing the major superheros together. fair enough you're setting up for an avengers series and major sequels [i don't know if you'd still call an avengers film a sequel because it would be a sequel to so many films]. ok, so, set up the films sequels, but don't lose site of the story at hand. firstly, scarlett johansson, what a baben' black widow, but there's more to her than that. she didn't just show up at shield, she was a russian spy who defected. i'm sensing a prequel is in order here. i mean if wolverine gets one, then she should too. wolverine's crap. but i think iron man is a pretty damn good character, but the films make him out to be quite shallow and self involved. he's as deep and troubled as batman or any of the dc dudes, but he doesn't get the credence he deserves. i mean they touched on it with the whole father thing but he's so much more than that. his strength comes from his genius and the fact that he is able to tap into this despite his up bringing and how privileged he is. i mean he invents a friggin' new element in the new one, he's a bloody genius. and he recognises that the world needs a superhero, someone like robin hood who'll stand up for the average joe. someone who will shut down the big bad no matter who he is. but he just seems like a brat. in the tv series and from what i've read online of the comics he's more of a cryptic characters in a cryptic situation, inheriting his fathers empire and trying his best to try and figure out what he's left behind as well as struggling with the stark legacy. i mean his dad is a good guy. right? i mean he wants peace, but he designs and builds weapons. i think it's all too complicated for the films to go in to.
me and the boy were comparing iron man and spiderman in terms of awesomeness, morals and superness and we got into a heated argument about origins and he bit me. this is how much we care about comic books.
