Random Notes, Take 5

* For what it's worth, I am very saddened by the death of Natasha Richardson. In no small part because it is so FUCKED UP. I mean, she fell down and DIED?! That's awful. And it's terribly sad. And TMZ took pictures of Liam Neeson and Vanessa Redgrave leaving the hospital after Natasha Richardson died (and NO, I am NOT linking, because it's seriously awful to do that to people. Leave them the hell alone.)* Octo-Mom is fucking NUTS. DUDE. * No, I will not be seeing Angels and Demons. I love Ron Howard, solely because he was involved with "Arrested Development," which is also the only reason Heather Graham is allowed to live, at all, but his movies often make me blind with rage (see A Beautiful Mind. Or better yet, don't. OMFG.) After all, this is the sequel/prequel/someway related to THe Da Vinci Code, a movie that famously inspired this reaction in myself and a friend: "I think I figured out the ending. No, surely that can't be the ending. Nobody could possibly be so foolish. OH SWEET JESUS' DONUTS, THAT IS THE ENDING." And while Ewan McGregor (and, more importantly, Ewan's Giant Freaking Lightsaber), appear in this movie, the little I know about this films makes it seem unlikely that he will whip it out, for freedom and God. Although if he does do that, I will go see the movie a lot, because that sounds HYSTERICAL.* Bernie Madoff is not allowed out of jail. Wait, IDEA: SEND HIM ON A HOLY QUEST. If he accomplishes certain tasks, like getting Madonna to admit she's a talentless wench, or getting a lock of Blago's hair, he can go free. If he dies horribly, a lot of people will be very happy. * WHAT THE HELL WHAT THE HELL WHAT THE HELL WHO AUTHORIZES THESE THINGS?! Although Bruce Campbell is in it. BUT IT HAS NOTHING TO WITH THE BOOK. HAS ANYONE EVEN READ THE BOOK?! WHY AM I SO SHOUTY?!* Charlie Manson does NOT look like Russell Brand. A pox on ANYONE who says otherwise.* OK, the poster for Where The Wild Things Are looks pretty goddamn sweet. And Spike Jonze is always good. So no shouting here. * YES! Lost Boys 3! The universe ENDORSES my creepy Corey Feldman love. AS IT SHOULD. So, in this movie, we're looking at less focus on the stupid teenagers, and entirely focusing on Edgar Frog and his CRAZY and Rambo bandana. But this time, they need Jamison Newlander to come back (because the deleted scenes from Lost Boys 2 involving him were sweet. And while I'd like Corey Haim to come back, that seems dubious, since they apparently hate each other again. For reasons I do not understand. * Haha, nobody gives a shit about another Mission Impossible. And I agree; I liked the third one best. The second just seemed like a very long, unwholesome love letter to Tom Cruise's arms. And even as a girl who really, REALLY appreciates a good pair of arms on a guy, I found it creepy.* You actually thought I'd get through an entire entry without mentioning Watchmen, didn't you? Oh, you naive fools! I LAUGH at your innocence. Here is Kevin Smith talking about it, which is pretty cool. Did I ever tell you about the time I talked to Kevin Smith on the phone, when I was working at Troma? We had a really nice conversation. He's a good guy. And I liked Zach and Miri Make A Porno (except for the part with Jason Mewes' junk. More alarming then EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA).* Now I totally want to have a Russell Brand/Jackie Earle Haley/Corey Feldman movie marathon. Although I can't really find a connecting thread in all that AWESOME and WIN. Life is hard.- LVPS LAST FEW HOURS TO VOTE ON MY TATTOO. JUST SAYING, PEOPLE.PPSS Re: Crazy Cat Man (who I cannot find on the internet, no matter how hard I look. He's some Australian fellow who likes to hang out with lions, and discuss his relationship with the lion, which is WAY TOO EASY A JOKE). Dude, did you SEE Grizzly Man? That guy got his head ripped off and eaten by his furry friends. It's great you enjoy your work and all, and different strokes for different folks, and all that. But I am wary of any career where the thing you work with can RIP YOUR HEAD OFF AND EAT YOUR VITAL ORGANS. PPPSSS Poor Tim Geithner. Everyone is so mean to him, and you just know he's locked himself sobbing in the White House bathroom, and refuses to come out, while Obama slides notes to him under the door, and flat food so he doesn't go hungry, a la Microserfs. Geithner really is a delicate little flower.OK, work now.
