Nov. 2nd, 2009 12:29 pm( Costumes )
All that costuming didn't leave much time for movies until yesterday. It was nice to kick back and bask in belated horror.
( Movies! )
A couple of pics to come, I think.
Oh, and thanks to those of you who stopped by my Virtual Halloween Party! Good times! I still owe a couple of treats, which will come soon.

( Mad Men and a couple of Classics )
And having nothing to do with ANY of that, for some reason I can't remember (apart from the fact that she's awesome), I decided to introduce the Captain to Gilda Radner via Nadia Comaneci! She's still cute! I had not seen this in years and I was breathless. She was brilliant!

Aug. 9th, 2009 11:24 amOkay. Maybe I want to play too. I did this before, a long time ago, and had fun, so. Stolen from everyone.
Ask me my fannish Top Five [Whatevers]. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! And I will answer them all ina new comments to this post.
Now, of course, ( old movies! )

with my dress off it's most unusual
Jul. 31st, 2009 11:59 amNeck thing inexplicably eased back to regular ouch rather than mega-ouch. Ortho doc unhelpful, insulting and dismissive. Will be scheduled for PT. And hopefully this is the last you'll hear of it.
So! All this downtime has left me with much time for more important things. Like movie watching!

movies and such
Jul. 23rd, 2009 11:42 pmFirst! I thought this was an excellent question. I stole this from ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
jou!
If you happened to have a theatre all to yourself, and you could choose any one film to watch, any movie ever, which one would you choose?
For me, even given all the classics watching lately, I can't even pretend I'd be likely to choose anything else... The Goonies!
( Speaking of: movies. )

your classics, show me them
Jul. 14th, 2009 09:10 amAs I said yesterday, I've been on an old movie a classics kick! I'm not an expert in classic cinema, in fact there's a whole lot I've never seen. And all I have to go by is the opinions of my fellow netflixers, and those awards lists and whatnot. So I'd love to hear from you guys!
What are some of your favorite classic movies? I'm mostly looking for movies pre-70's, say, 1940-1960, but Feel free to define "classic" in whatever way makes you warm and fuzzy.
( Just a few of my favorites! )
Yours? Here or in your journal!

the amazing cinematograph!
Jul. 13th, 2009 10:03 pmToday is a day when Insanejournal really seems like the most appropriate journaling thingum for me, as things feel somewhat insane.
Ah well.

good to see you again, Ripley!
Jul. 6th, 2009 12:58 pmOh, and! We watched Alien this weekend because the captain had never seen it and apparently neither had I! (I thought I had but I guess I was thinking of Aliens). Man, does that movie hold up or what! Suspenseful! Understated and quiet in all the right places! Awesome set (and monster, of course) designs. The Giger abounds! And it all just generally looks great.
Next on my queue of course: Aliens and Alien 3!

Quickly, before I run off to play with nephews/neice, I watched Twilight with running buddy last night, because her 7-yr-old neice wanted to watch it. I have to say I went in expecting it to be kind of terrible, even though I used to be an enormous fan of the vampire genre.
But I was wrong!
It was worse than that!
Gosh. It was impressively bad. The only characters I found even remotely unridiculous were the native american tribe folk, I would have watched and probably enjoyed a movie about them, but otherwise. Wow. Kids and teens, I can understand, but there are grown-ups who enjoy this stuff and I don't get it.
(No offense if you love the Twilight books/movies. I can see the appeal, just not the hugeness of its popularity.)

deer, croc
Jun. 4th, 2009 11:52 pm( An encounter while running. )
Totally unrelated, Rogue? The killer croc movie? The Sam Worthington movie? Not as bad as expected. Sam was lovely. Could have had more screentime, though. Could have omitted one or three cheezy lines of dialogue. Otherwise, a mostly satisfying watch! And I enjoy Radha Mitchell.

Australia and Australians
May. 30th, 2009 10:31 pmOn a movie kick!
Watched Australia last night. Very good! Gorgeous Hugh, OMG. And David Wenham was THE DEVIL, oh man. And the kid, whose name I don't know, was the cutest kid since the little girl in The Fall. Also, pretty horses.
As for the other aussies, I watched another Sam Worthington movie, Gettin' Square. A pretty good movie, sort of like an aussie Guy Ritchie movie only with less violence, less cursing, and not as funny... so not really Guy Ritchie at all. Anyway, crime folk doing silly things and one really lovable guy. Lovable guy was Sam Worthington of course, who was so adorable. *eats him* AND David Wenham again! Who played possibly the best and probably the most entertaining junkie ever. I will never look at Faramir again without imagining him in leopard print underwear and flip-flops.
Because I can... ( some pics and vids. )

Kind of loved it a lot, actually.
So. Just watched the first ep of Season one of Star Trek. For the first time ever, yes. I have never watched more than a random ep here and there, mostly TNG because that's what was airing when I was growing up, and it has never interested me. M and I agree that it's because I prefer gritty horror space (Alien, for example) over shiny tech-y space.
I was curious about the new movie becaue it looked cool and because Chris Pine, but talked myself out of it. But the curiosity has been growing, and folks likestewardess tempt me with fic I can't read because I know no one in it! But today telesilla's post on Uhura was the last straw and my curiosity finally got the better of me. And Netflix has Season One on Watch Instantly.
It was pretty amusing. My first response was to giggle at their shoes and the cardboard? styrofoam? rocks, but it was fun and I definitely wasn't bored. I have to wonder why Kirk smiles all the damned time. I have to wonder how those ladies get anything done in those tiny dresses, although I have to admit that I approve. :) Also have to admit a surprising particular fondness for Spock!
Anyway. Yeah. There's a 12:30 showing this morning and I have nothing else to do. So. Probably that. (Unless I can't resist the urge to see T4 again! ^ ^)
