Finally meme time!

Some of the pics below the cut are DEFINITELY not safe for work.

List 10 celebs who could get it without asking twice. Include photos! )


Answer to last Wednesday's song: Cabaret, from Cabaret. No one guessed this.
For this review, I'm going to have to use my Google Fu, because my camera apparently hates details. And Operetta has a lot of beautiful details, so let's hope other intrepid photographers on the internets can help me out!

Here's Operetta, who has no last name for some reason )

Song quote for today (which, BTW, is back to songs I actually like): Wildly my mind beats against you... You resist, yet your soul obeys!

Answer to last Sunday's song: Ride With Me, by Nelly. I don't like Nelly, I don't like this song, and yet I KNOW EVERY WORD. Nobody guessed this one, which means you're all luckier than me.
I just saw Dirty Rotten Scoundrels at the Flynn.

A brief (spoilery) review of my thoughts:

-It took me a bit to get into it. But it took me a bit to get into Spring Awakening too, and we all know where that went. I started really feeling DRS right around the song about putting a chimp in a suit.

-I'm in love with the song about Oklahoma. (Not a tree or a Jew, to ruin the view...)

-I really, really, REALLY liked the French guy. He was seriously the best part. And the funniest part. And I liked how he did get with the girl.

-I thought I didn't know anything about this musical, but I forgot that Janeea totally told me that the girl was playing them both. I remembered that I knew that partway through Act 2, and I liked it. A lot.

-The girl that played Christine was a bit too nasaly for my taste.

-There were definite Phantom moments. :)

-The set was very sparkly. I approved.

-I can has soundtrack now plz?
Cause I decided to re-read it, for obvious reasons, (and to spread the love) I present to you V for Vendetta in 15 Minutes


And, just in case you doubt the occasional similaries between that movie and The Phantom of ther Opera (the mask, the lair of crazy, the smashing mirrors, etc.) Here's Phantom in 15 Minutes too.






DISCLAIMER: Just in case it isn't abundantly clear, I didn't write either of these amazing works of funniness. They were both penned/typed by the lovely [livejournal.com profile] cleolinda. (And I highly recommend you read her other movies, as well as her book.)


ETA: Did I lend someone my Movies in 15 Minutes book? I can't find it, and that is NOT COOL.

ETA 2: Nevermind, I found it.
Ok, if you don't do anything else in the next few weeks, GO SEE V for Vendetta!!!!!!

Oh my God, it was amazing. I drove out to Westway with Renee and Erin to see it. GAH.

I love Natalie Portman. I always have. She's beautiful and she's an amazing actress and, as I told Erin, I'd do her. With or without her hair.

Also, I don't know how intentional it was, as this story is based on a graphic novel, but this movie (attacked is a bit of a strong word, but I'm going to use it anyways) attacked restrictions of freedom, corrupt priests, and taking away rights "for your protection," specifically from terrorists and viruses. They even showed a news clip about Avian flu. And they were definately supporting homosexuals and freedom of speech. So how many anti-Bush/republican sentiments have we got there?

"We have to do raids and beat and torture people, with the majority's consent, so that we can keep you safe from terrorists" sounds an awful lot to me like "we have to do wire taps and beat and torture people when we interrogate them to keep you safe from the terrorists." But maybe that's just me.

I loved it. I'm not even that into politics, but I loved every second of it.

And one guy's name was Rookwood. /Random Harry Potter reference.

Then I went to Erin's for cake and fun with Tiffany and Ross. Erin, your family always has been, is, and always will be, awesome.


"A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having."

"All you have are your little knives. We have guns."
"No, what you have are bullets, and the hope that when your guns are empty I will no longer be standing."

It was SO GOOD. Like 1984 meets Robin Hood meets Phantom of the Opera.

On which note, he 1.wore a mask 2.took the girl to his underground lair of crazy, which was full of stolen art and furniture 3.was sort of obsessed with music there 4.was disfigured 5.was an outcast from society 6.murdered people 7.broke mirrors and 8.wouldn't let the girl he loved take his mask off.

There were more, but I'm too lazy to list them now.
For my Spanish class I have to watch a movie in Spanish. Any one I want, as long as it's not X-rated or a children's movie.

So I was going through my movies, trying to pick one appropriately adult enough, and that I thought I could sit through in Spanish, (I can have the English subtitles on, but still) and I really wanted to do The Phantom of the Opera just so I could see how you say 'Phantom of the Opera' in Spanish.

Sadly, Phantom isn't dubbed in Spanish. So I moved on to The Fantastic Four which I figured would be a good choice. It's rated PG-13, lots of techno mumbo-jumbo that doesn't even really make sense even in English, lots of action scenes without talking, and I can watch that hot guy who plays Johnny Storm in any language.

The title comes up, and this deep sonorous voice goes "Los Cuatro Fantasticos."

I almost died laughing. This is going to be great.



P.S. It's "La Fantasma de la Opera."
OMFG I am a total dork and I can now upload 6 Userpics and this has totally made my day!!!

Plus my mom and dad and I watched Phantom last night and dad even stayed awake for the whole thing!

Now it's off to do Christmas things and later we're making cookies!
Girls: *Watch Phantom of the Opera*
Christine: *Takes mask off Phantom. Caresses it while he goes nuts*
Kelley: I can't believe she's touching the inside of that.
Me: Well, he's not contagious.












Yeah. We did not get drunk. We watched Gerard Butler swish his cape instead. AND I'M PROUD!
I learned something in Anthropology that has given me insight into Phantom of the Opera.

The phantom, by being deformed, "violates the scene." People who violate the "scene" or norm, are generally ignored by the rest of society, a behavior called "deviance disavowel" where people basically ignore the deviation.

So the phantom, once he escapes, instead of living a life of being disavowed, goes into hiding so he can be in control of how much people acknowlegde his existance. He is in power, not them.

Cool huh?



P.S. I am making up the analysis of the phantom, but not the terms "violating the scene" and "deviance disavowal." Those are real.
OMFG!

IF YOU HAVE EVER SEEN THE MOVIE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA YOU NEED TO READ THIS RIGHT NOW!

(Especially if you are Jess or Becky, who will totally appreciate how we pointed out most of the things they make fun of. Or if you like to snark.)

IT IS THE FUNNIEST THING I HAVE EVER READ. I LAUGHED SO HARD I CRIED.

READ IT!

In other news, Phantom was amazing. before the show we went to Quincy Market and had lunch and then watched this really hott contortionist guy...contort. He was Austrailian and he looked like an anorexic version of Billie Joe, complete with sticking his hand down his pants. I loved it.

I didn't really like the look of the guy who played the phantom, be he sang really well. The special effects and costumes and whatnot were spectacular, especially the boat and the gargoyle. Becky almost squeezed my fingers off at the end of Act 1, but I kind of expected that.

Then on the way home Becky and I sang old bad Backsteet Boys songs. Wow that last one is dirty. "If you want it to be good girl, get yourself a bad boy" I never knew. I was 12 and not yet wise in the ways of fanfiction...er...the world.

That's All Folks!

YAYS!

OMFG Jess and I went to the mall last night to go Mother's Day shopping, and then she came over and spent the night and we watched my newly acquired Phantom of the Opera DVD and it was good. My God that girl has a lot of energy.

And The Phantom was as good and as sexy as ever, and I totally got Jess on my side. She thinks the Phantom is hot and Raoul is a loser. Yay Jess!

And not much else is up, besides that I HAD MY LAST PHYSICS CLASS!!! Yays again.

And and and ummm Oh yeah, we learned that Lindsay Dick's mother's maiden name was Devine. That means she's Devine Dick. Oh how my Spanish class laughed.

Today I love Madame Giry

Today I hate the bitchy ladies in JC Penny's

OMFG

And I have a plan. I am going to kidnap David and hold him for ransom. And the ransom will be for his fathere to sing Phantom for me. Because he was that good. He was almost as good as Michael Crawford...and I definately want to hear him sing again. I am willing to resort to kiddnaping, he was that good.

CAUTION MAJOR SLAM COMING UP

Actually, scratch that. I can't kidnap David, as a good friend pointed out, because his father won't want him back. I have to take something more valuable. I'll kidnap the little one, what's her name...Rachel? Yeah that's it. I'll kiddnap Rachel.

VACATION!

Feb. 21st, 2005 03:57 pm
Janeea and Jamie and Kelli came over last night, but due to tiredness beyond our control, only Kelli ended up staying over.

We woke up around 9, but we stayed pretty much in bed until 2 because we kept dozing off.

I love vacation. On a normal Monday I'd be in Physics at 2. Today I wasn't even dressed. YES!

Kelli: It's the junk shop by my house. Only it's not a junk shop, and it's not by my house.

I'm going to Boston tomorrow! Yippiee! I anticipate much funness and money spending.

Anyone know any good games to play on a bus? I do. *evil laughter Muahahahahahahahahahaha!* Who's up for a rousing game of pass the ice pack?

I wish. I am willing to bed A LOT of money that there is too much drama for that to happen. Bugger.

If you have no idea what I am talking about, then you were not in Summer Encore last year, and I feel bad for you.

P.S. I am listening to the second act of Phantom. The beginning was eh...but this end bit....AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
I now present to you, the adventures of Megan And Hannah, being numerious and amusing, occuring mostly in the downtown area, and featuring an exciting and fantastic supporting cast:

Our two heroines were planning on going to the The Phantom of the Opera (First time for Hannah, second for Megan) at the 6:30 showing. Later on, Hannah the spontaneous Aries called Megan and they went downtown at 4 of the clock to wander aimlessly and possibly pick up a present for Pat for his birthday.

Their first visit was to Book King, where they neither accomplished nor purchased anything. They discussed fanfiction, and Hannah failed to remember who was G in her Gashly Crumb Tinnies Good Omens Alphabet of Doom. Hannah also recieved a Phone Call of Good News: she had been accepted to Penn State. She also called Kelliann, who wanted to meet them at the movie theater later with Kim.

Their next stop was Camille's, where they were distracted by a variety of shiny objects, and contemplated and decided against buying Pat: fishnet stockings in many colors, incense, a neon green wig, mardi gras beads, a birthday hat, (which would have been a joint prersent) any of the various flamboyant and hideous shirts, and a fluffy pirate hat. The girls also decided against splitting the cost of some truly bright and ugly striped pants. Hannah was sorely tempted to buy purple and black striped stockings, but resisted. Megan was not so lucky and wasted 8 dollars on a pair of useless, but shiny, sunglasses, so that she can wear them when she does not need to and be a flash bastard. They also make the world a bluer place. Yippiee.

The girls then sallied forth to try and locate The Army And Navy store, a venture in which they were ultimately successful. Alas, the store was closed, and so Hannah did not get her new army bag, or her strip-ed tights. In the face of disappointment, the girls went to find sustance.

After walking right past it, they got to the Chinese buffet and had dinner. It was here that they decided that God's Earth is neither green nor blue, but blue-green. Megan also admired Hannah's new clothing.

The time growing short, the two went onwards to the movies, where they watched a wonderful film, that Megan has neither the time nor the energy to rave about again. The Phantom rocks, go see it.

Before the movie, the girls had thought they heard the voice of Renee, and afterwards discovered that she was indeed there, with her man Dustin. Kim and Kelliann then ran in from their movie, In Good Company, which apparantly had a bad ending, and all the adventurers bravely sallied forth into the night to Denny's. (After calling parents for permission)

At Denny's they discussed just how one sallies forth, and what it means to sally. There was a houseplant observed, and Megan showed it her flash glasses. Hannah informed all she is not another houseplant. Games were lost, and Dustin was condemmed by Hannah for wanting to make an anarchist president. Many things were found secular, (complete with head gesture) movies were quoted, and gossip discussed.

Our heroines then departed for home, listening to the music of the night.

(Feel free to add anything I left out, or elaborate)

Crying

Jan. 29th, 2005 12:08 pm
Oh, Jesus Christ in Stilletos. I am going to see The Phantom again tonight with Hannah, and just listening to the soundtrack is making me cry. Sheesh.

"It's over now, the music of the night." That's the one that got me. Poor Phantom. Wahhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

Le Sigh.

The last movie was James and the Giant Peach. Only Janeea got it. She is seriously kicking all your butts in this game. Janeea gets a Miss Spider point, because that is my favorite character. Of course, she and the centipede will have little buggy babies someday. Spider/Centipede: Theirloveissosquirmy.

Here is a new quote "This is no time to panic!...Start panicking!!!"

Hellosies!

COME TO THE LIT CLUB COFFEE HOUSE AT 6:30 TOMORROW NIGHT IN THE RHS THEATER! BRING FRIENDS! READ POEMS! HEAR POEMS! EAT FOOD! DRINK COFFEE! JUST COME!

So chitlens, about the only thing that happened today, besides the crazy rehersal we had, was Brian Citro and his Amazing Disappearing Sweatshirt. But only I seem to find it amazing. (Alison, ask him sometime about this) He, being the only junior that was in Calculus today, went to YES plan sign ups with his sweatshirt on, and came back without it. Ta-da! I was, for some reason, baffled by this.

Also, Renee and I are laying down the meloncholy burden of sanity to sally forth and right all wrongs!

So there.

Alison, thank you for introducing me to this wonderful thing:

Ok, sorry I am a little addicted and having waaaaaaayyyyyy too much fun.

Now, onto quotes! Janeea not only got the last movie right, it was Men In Black, earning her 1 Noisy Cricket Point, but she also knew that Jodi Benson was the voice or Ariel, earning herself 5 Trivia points. Yea Neea!

Here is the next quote "For dinner on my birthday, shall I tell you what I chose? Noodles made of poodles, on a slice or garden hose; with a very smelly jelly, made of armadillo's toes. The jelly is delicious, but you have to hold your nose!"

Hello!

Jan. 25th, 2005 08:18 pm
First, a thank you. Becky: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FUCKING AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU FOREVER AND A DAY, AND EVEN LONGER THAN THAT. THAT CD IS FUCKING AMAZING! THANK YOU! (also, I was listening to it in my car and I was on Music of the Night and I had it turned up really loud, and the next song starts with wicked loud and creepy organ music, which I did not know, and it scared me and I screamed and panicked and couldn't remember how to turn it down. So thank you again!)

Second, a rant: You know, if you walk down the hall, innocently, and someone innocently bumps into you, they usually apologize, especially if they know you, they may even use your name, or at the very least they look ashamed, or mumble something, or smile or giggle or SOMETHING to show that they are sorry. Some really nice innocent people do this even if it is not their fault.

And sometimes someone may innocently scratch you with their binder, or tread on your foot, and not notice, and that is ok because hallways are crowded places.

These two classes of people are nice, normal people who can go hang with Azriphale in Heaven.

Then there are some people who will carelessly and not innocently at all whip their hats around, and smack innocent passersby who are deep in thought and therefore looking at the floor, in the forehead, and then LAUGH ABOUT IT. These people should burn in Hell, not with Crowley, because even he, a minion of Hell, is too good for them.

These people are Zach Smith, the bloody wanker. (Can you all tell I am 1. Pissed, and 2. Have been reading Good Omens today?)

Thirdly, quotes! I am glad you all liked my easy quote, I made it easy on purpose, and I am glad many people commented ad all got it right. Those people will each get a Eunuch point, and they are Bart, Janeea, Alison, Kim, Sarah, and Hannah. Yeah!

Now for the next quote, you get one point if you get it, and 10 points if you can tell me the missing lines to the songs, from the same movie, which I will also post. AND, I will give 5 points to anyone who tells me the actress who is the main character.(This gives you all sort of a chance to catch up to Janeea, who is currently kicking all your butts with 16 points. The closest is Becky with 9 points.) "This isn't the Fairy Vale. It's only a weed patch."

Song 1:
Let me be your wings
Let me be your only love
---------------------
Let me be your wings
Let me lift you high above
Everything we're dreaming of
Will soon be ours
Anything that you desire
Anthing at all
Every day I'll take you higher
And I'll never let you fall

Song 2:
Romeo and Juliet
Were very much in love where they were wed
-----------------------------
So where are they now?
They're dead, dead, very very dead!

La la la!

Jan. 22nd, 2005 07:20 pm
So I wanted to let you all know that in Phantom of the Opera, Madame Giry is also the evil lady in Sleepy Hollow, Emmy Rossum (Christine) was in The Day After Tomorrow, The guy who was Roaul was in The Alamo, he was William Travis, and Gerard Butler (THE PHANTOM) was the uber-hot assassin boyfriend of Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider 2, WHO HAS A BLOODY SCOTTISH ACCENT BECKY! BECAUSE HE WAS BLOODY BORN IN BLOODY GLASGOW SCOTLAND! (As if I didn't already love him)

Also, all the actors did their own singing, except Minnie Driver, and The Phantom's real name is Erik.

Just so you all know.

My last quote was from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Janeea, Heather, and Jean all got it right. They each get an Oompa-Loompa point, and Janeea and Heather each get a really special point, as promised, for telling me where that quote REALLY comes from. Thank you.

The next quote is really two quotes. If you get #1 you get a really special prize, because it is hard. #2 is the regular quote.

1."You have truly made my night!"

2."You have the right to remin silent. What you lack is the capacity."
