thehefner1.) In a move sure to make ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
erzebetbathory horny and 777666 freak out in terror, I've finally made an icon of the end of Ravenous. During Robert Carlyle's DVD commentary of this scene, he whispered "Go on... kiss him," which is what I now always say whenever I show this movie to poor, unsuspecting college students. Erzebet was actually was turned on by the homoerotic cannibal vampire action, as well as the idea of me going as Col. Ives some Halloween and getting progressively bloodier and more beaten up. She is a very, very special girl indeed.
2.) Is Kirsten Dunst just purpetually stoned? Seriously.
3.) Saw Hulk again. You know, it's a flawed movie, I'll grant you that. The first half is way too slow for most mainstream audiences, at least in this era when spaghetti westerns are no longer considered the brilliantly paced works of art they are, but rather just "slow." And yes, the ending feels like a bit tacked-on, as if a comic-book movie "must" have a big fight. And yeah, the CGI kinda really looked fake. But damn it all, when the film was over and done with, all I could think was, "y'know, that was pretty damn good."
I mean, at the very least, Ang Lee did something different, and even if you don't like the end result you have to respect that he tried. It's an unfairly maligned film, really. I mean, Sam Elliot's General Ross is right up there with JK Simmons' JJ Jameson and Jon Favereau's Foggy Nelson as a pitch-perfect portrayal of a superhero suporting character. And I just love Nick Nolte in this. Nothing else needs to be said there if you know what I'm talking about. The man chews the scenery. Literally.
4.) The good news? I finally got a room. After fucking up and missing room draw, they finally found me a room in Middle Hall, the creative arts dorm. The bad news? If my roommate is who I think he is, he's not only a lousy actor who got cast in two shows and didn't show up to even one rehearsal for either (he was supposed to be in Cuckoo's Nest), but he's also a HUGE pothead. I'm talkin' hemp-jewlery-wearin', white-boy dreadlocks stoner. He's also the only other guy at WAC to have my sideburns.
As Gary Oldman once said, "Fate it... whimsical today." Now, most stoners I know are reasonable, easygoing guys, so I'm sure he'll be polite enough to keep the chronic out of my presence. Even still, my Heffie-sense is tingling on this one, and now I pray all the harder that they find a single room for me and soon.
5.) Speaking of Gary Oldman and underrated movies, it is absolutely beyond me as to how anyone can possibly hate The Fifth Element. I saw it on TV again, and even edited it's so wonderful. Jus' sayin'.
6.) Testingshadowcaptain's theory that I'm the Hanged Man in the Tarot Deck, I looked the card up in the Shakespeare Tarot Deck dicechan gave me. The Hanged Man is Hamlet. Sometime I may have to post the profile here, because man oh man... welp, 'Cap nailed me on this one. And I admit, these past few months I have been in a Hamlet state of mind.
7.)777666, keep an eye out for an e-mail in the near future.
8.) I really don't see how anyone finds The Exorcist movie scary. I really don't. I mean, I like the story ok and I'm sure the book's even better, and I absolutely ADORE the sequel as well as Blatty's movie adaptation of said sequel (Exorcist III, here's hopin' for a director's cut). I mean, lots of older scary movies still have enough impact to scare the piss out of me. Psycho. The Haunting. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Jaws. The Shining. Alien.. I really don't get how Exorcist is always number 1 in top scariest movies of all time list.
However, as a work of Christian literature, I find it far more compelling and fascinating, as well as subervsive, than something like Passion of the Christ. In any case, the new movie looks like crap, but I can't wait for the two disc DVD with BOTH versions, including Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver, Auto Focus) original, studio-deemed "unreleasable" version. Apparently Blatty approved, even though he, the original author, had nothing to do with this sequel. Very interesting indeed.
