Oh casting department of this random Hercules movie I'm watching... Way to totally cast people cause they're pretty, and not because they can act. (This is actually a disturbingly popular trend, and not just in made for TV movies...)

So why am I watching this? Well, because I like watching teh pretty. I'm not gonna lie.  Also, Sean Astin is in it (pretty AND can act, so there you go. Plus the accent is sexy). He's playing Hercules' servant/personal poet, and is following our muscle-y hero around on all his quests. Why does that sound familiar? Doesn't Sam Sean EVER get to be the main hero?

Hmmm... Maybe they cast Hercules cause he does the fight scenes well? I dunno, but it's definately not for his subtlety of emotion.




Another random movie thought: They need to stop making really good books (Blood and Chocolate, Bridge to Teribithia, and How to Eat Fried Worms, for example) into really crappy moves. Not every book needs to be a movie. Especially children's books. Keep this up, and kids won't even need to learn to read. They'll just wait for the movie. And the movie's never as good.

OHMYGOD, you know what's sexy? Pirate accents. This guy at work did it and was like "Did you have an incident with the East India Trading Company?" and I was like NGHHHHHHHHHHHH.

1.) I think you've forgotten the travesty that was the "Ella Enchanted" movie. I would like to shoot them all for crimes against humanity for turning that gorgeous book in total and utter refuse.
2.) Check out "Rudy." Sean Astin is . . . The HERO! (*peanut gallery* "What?" "What'd she say?" "The hero?" "You're joking!") Although he is definitly not the smarmy, rippling bicep kind, he's still in tight pants.
3.)How do you do that online where you can cross out a word? I am not computer savvy, and OH, the glorious sarcasms I could make with such technology. . . Snarking, ahoy!
4.) Our Birthdays. Will happen. At some point. This summer. I work nearly every weeked, HOWEVER, let's plan tentatively for the 11th of August. I think I MIGHT actually be free. So if you would like to meet up in Burlington, or have a moviefest at my house, let's try to make this work, baby. Rawr. I miss you.

1. I refused to see that movie. And I'm glad about that decision.

2. Hmmm...

3. If you do < s > to open and < / s > (both without the spaces) to close, it'll strike things out. Like this.

4. Oh dear. I promised I'd babysit on the 11th. But I'm sure we can work something out. I bought your present already, so we'd better!
