Heathers

"You think you're a rebel? You're not a rebel. You're a fucking psychotic."
"You say tomatoe, I say tomahtoe."

***

Why haven't I ever watched this movie before? This is hilarious. Also, as a side note, I finally get the "I love my dead gay Angel" tag. Bully for me!

Other excellent 'Heathers' soundbites

"We need to talk. Whether or not to commit suicide is one of the most important decisions a teenager can make."

*

"I've got a meaningfullly marked up Moby Dick. What else does a suicide need, huh? Now excuse me."

*

"Sure I came up here to kill you. But first I was gonna try and get you back with my amazing petition."

Coupling. American. No Spoilers. I cry for the lack of accents.

America's version of Coupling is on in 15 minutes. I'm praying to the supreme being for atheists that it doesn't suck total dead eggs.

EDIT: Well, it sucks half a basket of dead eggs. Maybe two thirds. It's not a total loss in that the main girl (who used to be played by a blond) doesn't annoy me, and the main guy (who used to be played by Commadore Norrington from PotC who should be playing Arthur Dent) doesn't annoy me --in fact those two could even be funny if they grew into their roles--- and that the Asian girl playing what-her-name doesn't really annoy me (at least outside the way her character is supposed to be annoying.) However, Sally and Patrik (only names I seem to be able to remember), are both terribly unfunny. However, even they are not the worst thing. No. The worst, most sacriligous thing, is the Jeff. The Jeff is... RUINED! It's awful. He's not dorky-cute, he's just dorky. He's not weird and eccentric and incomprehensible, he's just a mook. I think mook is the word. You know, like those stupid obnoxious guys that always get picked out of the auidence on MTV? Anyway, THE JEFF!!! ::cries:: I miss the curly hair.

All the actors are overacting their lines, especially the Jeff. The "porn-buddy" conversation was supposed to be at voice level or below, not nearly yelled. Some of the actors will get better, some not. Right now, they all seem too self-conscious.

(no subject)

Well, I just watched a vid combining the PotC movie trailer and Ruroni Kenshin. Damn if it didn't almost make me want to watch that show.

Oh, wait, I did. And it was like watching Sailor Moon again. As fondly as I remember that show, I've moved on to better.

I suppose its possible that I watched the single bad episode in a show that normally is of Esca or Bebop quality, but it didn't seem like that, and I'm too lazy to bother. Maybe if it ever comes back on CN.

a bit of Harry/Luna domesticity, far in the future

"I know you sometimes go the muggle film theaters during your breaks at work."

"How-- how do you know that?"

"Because I'm your wife." She said it so simply and with such firmness, that Harry was dwarfed by her confidence. How could she spurt it out, like that one word answered everything? He was not so sure as that about anything about her. Sometimes he worried because he wasn't that confident about anyone or anything, and even the woman he's supposed to know best often baffled and confused him. The way she furrowed her eyebrows together, the way she looked now. He never knew what she would say, and at moments like this it hurt, because she seemed to know his words before he spoke them.

"I know that you call Hermione Granger at odd hours to quiz her on random things you remember from your childhood. But the conversations leave you further upset, because she's forsaken the muggle world even more than you have. Since her parents died she's ignored what she couldn't forget. And so you get angry at her, too."

--

"You can't combine the wizarding world and the muggle world Harry. It wouldn't be safe for them, and it wouldn't be safe for us."

"Wouldn't be safe?"

"I calculated it once, over breakfast. With the right spell, perhaps one modified to detect levels of magic in the body, sixteen learned wizards could simultanesously kill every muggle and squib in Northern Europe. Only sixteen. In the end they'd hunt us into extinction or servitude, or we would destroy them."

"You calculated this over breakfast." Luna looked squarely at him, and Harry was reminded of just how much smarter his wife was than himself. "I-- I didn't mean it like that, Lu; I know you would never contemplate that kind of thing lightly. But, you don't really understand. It's not just about the muggles versus the wizards."
