So, Andrew and I are watcing 300, and I've never seen it before, and even though it's on TV (and  therefore edited) It is pretty fucking awesome.


However, it is essentially Braveheart in Ancient Greece, yes?



Also, it's very hard to take this movie seriously because of all the internet memes I've seen about it. Although, the lines are still pretty kickass. My favorite is Queen Mrs. Leonidas: "Because Spartan women are the only ones who give birth to real men."

OH SNAP.

-I don't usually like westerns, cause I usually find them hopelessly boring, but this one is very good. 

-Though I'm not going to lie, I started watching it because Emilio Estevez and Christian Slater are both very attractive. And young Kiefer Sutherland isn't exactly ugly. There's also Grisolm from CSI and Viggo Mortensen. In fact, the sheer number of recognizable people in this movie is astonishing.

-I also looked up the real Billy the Kid, and, of course, he wasn't nearly as cool as movies and fables make him out to be. Though he was kind of awesome. But I'm watching this movie, and I'm wondering, what is our fascination with ourlaws? Like, they've made so many movies about these guys, and they were not nice guys in real life, but they're just so cool! I think it's the fact that everyone longs to just say "Fuck you" to the world, jump on a horse, grab a gun, and ride off to the next town. Want something? Take it. You get to hang out with whores and indians and Mexicans and all the cool people. And in the movies they make them invincible. Usually. There's nothing they can't do, and they never get shot until it will move the plot forward. Even though the real Billy the Kid died at 21, I guarntee you Emilio Estevez isn't going to.

-Although, going out in a blaze of glory and bullets is kind of an awesome way to die.

-So, the indian and Christian Slater get in a knife fight (because men are idiots) and CS put his very very large knife all the way through the indian's arm. And he didn't even flinch. Then, after the fight, he looks at CS, calm as can be, and says, "You want your knife back?" It was AMAZING. In fact, I have just decided that the indian is my favorite character. Wish I knew his name. 

Indian Guy: *shouts something not in English*
Horses: *run full tilt down an almost vertical cliff*
Christian Slater: *safely, at bottom of cliff* How'd you get them to do that? What's that word mean?
Indian Guy: It's an ancient Navajo word. It means stop.

- Alan Ruck would be my last choice for someone to play a cowboy. Especially an outlaw.

-I want to be the kind of woman who can ride out of town completely naked on a horse.

I watched the movie Prick Up Your Ears (starring Gary Oldman, Alfred Molina, and Vanessa Redgrave) tonight. It's the tragic love story/biopic about playwright Joe Orton (Oldman) and his lover Kenneth Halliwell (Molina). Google/Wikipedia Orton for the story. Or watch the movie. Cause it was AMAZING.

Which brings me to my point: Megan's thoughts on Prick Up Your Ears (in no particular order):





In conclusion, it was a very good movie. I highly recommend it.

So after watching Night at the Museum tonight (which was very good, by the way), I feel that I must update my list of things that will always be funny.


1. People getting hit with frying pans, and/or in the head.
2. Men in drag.
3. Fart jokes.
New Addition
4. Any slashy/gay cowboy/Brokebak Mountain jokes.



Yeah. It was a good movie.


"I will man-handle you, Jedidiah!"

"I ain't gonna quit you!"




Hee hee hee! I'm still giggling.

A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

-We have guns.
-No, what you have are bullets, and the hope that when your guns are empty, I will no longer be standing. Because if I am, you'll all be dead before you can reload.

Are you like, a crazy person?



God I LOVE that movie.


But my mother... not so much with the movie loving. She always has to be so damn logical. Oh well.

"They haven't made a good move since Gone With the Wind."

So wow.

It's been, like, forever since the last time I updated, which is mostly because lots of busy and lots of Eric on the computer.

And now my Shift key is spazzing. WTF?

Le'anyhoodle, let's start with my birthday.
-Went to lunch with mom at Tapas, where I'd never been before. Consider this my recommendation for it. It was very good.

-Went to see Pirates of the Carribean, Dead Man's Chest, and didn't get the title until about halfway through the movie. Since most of you saw it with me, all I'm going to say about it is what I said in the theater after it was over: HOLY FUCKING SHIT IN A BOX. (And I mean every single one of those capitol letters.) (And did I mention that Sarah is awesome? I'm never going to another movie without her if I can help it. We just sat there and screamed after it was over. GAH.) Also, if anyone hasn't seen it, there is a scene after the credits. AND THE MOVIE IS OMG AND IS IT MAY YET? (Although, I have to see this one again, because I didn't understand all of it. I know there was a chest (not Elizabeth's) and a key and Johnny Depp and Emo!Will, but I missed a lot of details.)

Look! And undead monkey!

-Went back to my house for cake and talking and presents and this game Janeea bought me called Boxers or Briefs which is AMAZING.

I GOT DOMINOES. (Because Neea is awesome.)


Then the next day I drove up to Swanton for the weekend to visit Abby, who is also AMAZING and I love her, but since none of you really know her that well, I won't babble about that except to say that I taught her to play dominoes and she beat me 10 rounds in a row. While we watched The 10th Kingdom. And her parents are so cool.

And I saw Gladiator for the first time. Ah yes little bird, war is hell and I am studly.

Also, I DIDN'T GET LOST.

And they have actual swans in Swanton. Who knew?

Yesterday and Monday were pretty calm, hung out with Sarah and some Chinese food, went to Burlington yesterday and bought pretty things at Hot Topic, as always, and ate dinner at The Church Street Tavern, (which I also recommend) and ERIC DROVE HOME. Yikes.

And, that brings us up to today.

I know I'll remember more stuff I wanted to say later, but this is enough drivel for now I think.



OH! I FINALLY got the joke in The 10th Kingdom!!!

Tony: Where's the wood?
Virginia: We couldn't find any.
Tony: No wood? In the forest?
Wolf: *walks by*
Tony: You don't have any wood either!
Wolf: Yes, thank you.
Wolf's Tail: *sticks out of his pants obscenely*

See, I got that they didn't have any firewood because they'd been off having sex, and I got that his tail = his arousal, but I never knew why he said "Yes, thank you." And now I do. Because he didn't have any wood. In the pants area.

God, I am thick.

Some Quotes:

Cheers make girls do stupid cartwheels. Orgasms make people happy. - Grahm, But I'm A Cheerleader (Which is an AMAZING movie, btw.)


(The following is from someone who realized she likes girls and not guys so much, and is roughly paraphrased)

See, I can look at guys and find them good looking, but it's like... You can go into a museum and look at a painting and think "Gee, that's beautiful," but that doesn't mean you want to fuck it.



And besides two rousing games of Trivial Pursuit, that's all for today.

God, I'm such a sap. I've seen that movie like 500 times, and I still love it.


So Renee and I had a wonderful lunch at Applebee's today. We saw Kelli and Jim, Jess and Justin, and like the entire Peterson clan. Aren't there any other restaurants in Rutland?

Anywho, I love Matt because I can now listen to Honky Tonk Badonadonk over and over and over again. HA!


But the real purpose of this entry is to tell whoever wants to come that we're going to see X-3 tomorrow night. I don't know what time it's playing yet or what time we're meeting, but I will find out as soon as I can and post a final schedule. It'll be the earlier showing, and we'll probably meet like half an hour before it starts because it's a Friday, and opening night. Just you can all plan.

Peace!


P.S. Oh, and I added some pretty stuff to my user info too.
