UHM

So Ironman and Batman are tied at top Badassest Superhero spot again. DAMMIT BATMAN WHY CAN'T YOU STOP BEING BADASS AND LET SOMEONE ELSE BE BADASSEST HERO FOR ONCE. God. Well whatever. I still love Tony Stark more.

I will mention a few highlights in hopefully the least spoilery fashion possible.

GARYOLDMAN!GORDON IS SQUEEEEE

I BELIEVE IN HARVEY DENT

Thank you Christopher Nolan and Maggie Gyllenhaal for NO MORE KATIE HOLMES.

The Joker will make you LOL and SHIT YOUR PANTS, SIMULTANEOUSLY.

I can't talk about anything else here. COMMENTS.

I AM SO HOT FOR TONY STARK

I WANT TO BEAR HIM A MILLION CHILDREN

So Batman totally just lost his top spot as Badassest Comicbook Superhero.

Honestly, 2-hour-6-minute boner. I usually don't care for facial hair or older men, but damn, ROBERT DOWNEY JR. UNNNFFFFFFF

OH, OH FOOTAGE AFTER CREDITS MADE ME SOOO EXCITED!!!!!

Oh and also Orichalcum is DONE. Set the pages, made the PDF, sent it to Lulu.com. THIS IS SO SURREAL I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M ACTUALLY DONE. WHAT WILL I DO WITH MYSELF??

I'll begin by sleeping 50 hours. PLEASE LET ME HAVE WET DREAMS ABOUT TONY STARK TONIGHT-- though I'll probably be too tired and deep in sleep, since yesterday was my 3rd all-nighter in the same week...

MANY THINGS MADE ME CRY THIS WEEKEND.

1) Code Geass; IT'S CLAMP WITH MECHA, it isn't SUPPOSED to make me CRY but it DID.

2) Letters from Iwo Jima; I spent half the movie crying, and if I weren't seeing it in a theater I would've been BAWLING.

3) Hana Yori Dango Season 2; the season has JUST STARTED and it's ALREADY MAKING ME CRY. THAT'S NOT RIGHT.

Thankfully though there was also a lot of laughing in HYD2, so that's good. And Letters from Iwo Jima has got to be the most perfect war movie I've ever seen. If you liked Flags of Our Fathers, you'll like this even more. According to the reviews anyway. I haven't seen Flags, but I plan to. Clint Eastwood is an amazing director.

And. NINOMIYA KAZUNARI. Yes, him. That boy from ARASHI, the BOYBAND. He's in Letters, and MAN, CAN HE ACT. I was a bit dubious at first, and in the beginning he was slightly awkward, but he quickly became such a convincing actor. First MatsuJun, and now Nino. Sakurai's in Honey & Clover, but I haven't seen that yet. Though Nino's probably the most skilled actor of all of them. GOD, WHY ARE THE JAPANESE SO TALENTED.

It's only the 2nd week of school, and I've already decided that I don't like it. .__. What's more, I'm feeling iffy about 2 of the 3 art classes, and I'm liking the lecture classes. I probably like the lecture classes cuz all I have to do is sit back and take notes. A little intense, yes, but I get spoonfed and I don't have to give any output. :D Taking notes and studying them is straightforward. Studying visual concepts and practicing them in art a little less.

( More talk about classes blahblahboring )

Saw Chronicles of Narnia with Nicole, Mike and Zack. With my hat on Nicole thought I was a guy when she came down the stairs of the Business Building to meet us. ~__~ Anyway, Nicole hit it off w/ Mike and Zack (whom she didn't know before) pretty well. The accidental seating arrangement (Nicole, Zack, me, Mike) in the theater worked out really well. XD

And I can't even begin to describe my Narnia experience. ( But I will try. )

And the music still grips me with awesomeness even after like the 10th listen. So good. Oh god someone already has the .avi available on college WASTE. I need to see this again. *___* Will dl and buy it when the DVD gets out.

I'm too high on Narnia to wanna do anything else now. Dammit.

First off, sorry Yun ^^;; It was decided in the spur of the moment last-minute today between my friend and I, so... sorry! >_<;

But yeah. *WEEPTH* I want Brokeback icons. RIGHT NOW. The soundtrack too. Shitdaurh.

( short movie ramble under here, beware of spoilers )

Now I wanna reread the online short story, which, for some reason, is now nowhere to be found >__<;; Did they take it off now that it's finally hit the silver screen? Those bastards!! *considers ordering the book*

I predict that I'll make this so long that nobody'd even wanna read it past the 1st paragraph. XD But it's been a while since my last events report so I'll try to make this good.

( report + a shot at review )

Oh my god. I need to make that Cedric clay figurine like, NOW. And tribute art and all that. OMG NO TIME I HAVE NO TIME

WHERE ARE THE GOF POSTS, GUYS?? Get on with the lengthy movie reports so I can read 'em and leave longwinded comments and have conversations of intense geekness over LJ XDDd

Just got back from Serenity, the Firefly movie. ROXXORRZ MY BOXXORZ. What was not so roxxor was the fact that Amanda and I had to trek half an hour in our not-so-walk-friendly shoes from our place to downtown. When Tyler had said on the phone that it took he and Tad, relatively quick walkers, half an hour to get to the theater, I hadn't believed him. Also, the trekking wouldn't've been so bad if we weren't in such a damn hurry. And still we got there 5 minutes late. Missed the backstory of how Simon got River out from the Alliance institution. Dammit.

I'll ramble more about this in detail when I'm in better form. Some other time that isn't 3am, and isn't the aftermath of Roommate Drama. YES. ANOTHER YEAR OF ALL NEW, ALL RIVETING ROOMMATE DRAMA! STAY TUNED. There will be a report on that too, probably in the morning.

To-Dos:

- a nice scrub, to get make-up off
- laundry; all whites, don't forget the towels
- read, finish book
- The Talk - The 3 Of Us
- The Talk - All Residents
- go to Anime Club

Watched Alexander with Meg today. I chose that over Madagascar cuz Alexander was a flop, so we could mock it in jolly humor as we watched, as well as enjoy the slash, which I heard was present in the movie. XD

Turns out I quite liked it. *lol* Maybe it's the yaoi fangirl talking. XDDD But it was intense, and quite beautiful in some parts, I thought. Didn't give a really detailed insight to Alexander's life, but I thought it was fine. Alexander and Hephaistion's relationship was lovely and portrayed very tenderly. ;__; Just wish there was a little bit more of that. THERE WASN'T ENOUGH SLASH DAMMIT. ALEXANDER KISSED HEPHAISTION ONCE DURING THE BLOODY MOVIE AND WE DIDN'T EVEN GET TO SEE IT. And the eye candy was like, excessive. Omg. Collin Farrell, Jared Leto, Jonathan Rhys Meyers. And that delicious Persian slave boy whose actor I don't know. *SALIVATE*

Aaanyway. I'm sad that The Theban Band didn't have more than a meager few Alexander fanarts. *sniff* So I went and doused my new curiosity by reading online texts about Alexander and sexuality in Ancient Greece and so on. And that somehow inspired this fanart. No, it's not Alexander fanart, unforch. >3> *not sure if to venture into that* Still the same ol' HP shiznit. *snrk*

I've decided, fuck the grey Copic. I'll do my greys in... inkwash. Or something. Not forking another 6 bucks for another damn Copic for a long, long time. *mutter*

OH MY GOD. THE 0___PEDOPHILE TWAT DEFRIENDED ME. *CHEERS*

Considering that he defriended Akko too, I think he's finally been booted from LJ. BLESS.

And, Red Eye was EXCELLENT. The plot was introduced quite early into the movie, in fact, the movie really didn't leave much to the imagination *lol* considering how it suggests Something Bad And Imminent from as early as the beginning credits. But I like how it started kinda slow, leisurely, with some comfortable flirting between Lisa (Rachel McAdams) and Rippner (Cillian Murphy). You see Lisa begin to unwind and shed her mask of courteous tension... and then you're fiercely swung into the thick of the plot as Rippner reveals his motive. So quick it was like whiplash. And from that point on, it's just scene after scene of fast, stomach-twisting, heart-hammering suspense and action till the very end of the short 85 minutes. Straightforward, short and intense, kinda like being on a plane during its take-off period, from the moment it starts moving on the runway to the moment it leaves the ground.

And Cillian Murphy. The very reason why I went to see this movie. Didn't let me down in the least. XD Excellent performance. Hawt, ruthless and so brilliant. A somewhat comprehensive rant on him can be found in this ( AIM convo with Meg. )

So seeing this w/ Meg during X'mas. >D And then we can go see The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe together too. *squee!*

If I can stick in a haircut soon, I can cosplay Harry for Halloween. Maybe. Will it be FrillyDressRobes!Ron for GoF, or Triwizard!Harry? I hope I can cosplay at all for GoF. T__T

[EDIT] I'm absolutely delighted to find that Art 211 and Art 302 don't seem to require textbooks. Even if they do, they aren't listed at the online bookstore. Since I already got my Photoshop manual for Art 181, all I need are this for PSC 201 and this for Art 134, both of which I'd probably end up getting from Half.com. *reminder to self to order tmr*
