What Swanky Things are you Watching?

[innerSpaceman]

Hehe, last night me and Zapp watched an oldie (but, imo, a goodie), The Road Warrior. I made him watch it because I struck up an acquaintance with Virginia Hey over the weekend. She has a minor, yet attention-getting, role in that movie - but is better known for her role as Zan on Farscape. I had so much fun with her on Saturday and Sunday that I could not resist re-watching the only film in my DVD collection that she's in.

Tonight: Must make a dent in the pile of Netflix films; this will be my only night home this week!

My friends (big Farscape fans) were absolutely thrilled to meet her at one of the conventions. I think they had to go to Fargo, ND to see her. They live in Minneapolis, so it's not as far as it seems, though Fargo is a serious.... *pit* and these particular friends lived there for a while. That's so awesome that you got to meet her! My friends said she is very nice.

Yep, very nice lady.

I'm glad she is my new friend, cause it looks as if my friendship with Gemini Cricket has reached its end.


That's cause I thought The Notebook was a damn fine sudser. Nothing wrong with it, and the two leads were hotness of their respective genders (both of which, as some here may know, I happen to have a thing for).


I am currently watching Young Adam as I type, and my reaction thus far is

It's not the end. You like me, you like me, you like me.

Okay, here we go. I've gotten a PM or two about this already. To quote our GD:

Nothing wrong with the eye candy, I'll give it that. Ryan Gosling is great. Now if that gosling actually were a mature gander, he'd be a much better actor. Watch him act in this film and count how many times he looks like he was going to laugh while she's pounding on his chest or shoving him against a truck in anger. He's worse than Jerry Seinfeld and Roseanne during their own shows.

I'm still not clear if the lead actress has ever had her heart truly broken or knows how it feels. Nothing in her performance dictates to me that she has. She also wasn't defined very well at the beginning. Why do we like her? Because she's pretty? Nope. It's gotta be more than that. If it doesn't need to more than that 'Gigli' would have worked.

I believe that the performances here needed to convey the message that the stakes are high for these two. I didn't get that from them.

Okay, it's the LoT so I'll dwell on the positive here:

I love these kinds of stories. Against all odds, love against the will of elitist parents and rekindled love. I love love love these films.

The love scene at the beginning was great. The whole neurotic thing while they tried to get their groove on rocked. Gosling and Marsden were finer than frog hair. Gorgeous.

So, how did you meet her?!?!?!?!?!?! Gossip to me, dammit! That's awesome.



My message is not too short, LoT. It's just long enough!
