I wanted to say something about the movie Fever Pitch, which I watched 4 times on the way to and from Nagoya.
I'm not a romantic comedy girl, I don't know if you'd noticed. Generally I dislike romantic-anything movies (I am the only person I know who didn't care for The Notebook all that much.) However, watching this movie was kind of like looking into the mirror and seeing Jimmy Fallon as a baseball fan looking back at me.
Fever Pitch is based on a book by the author of About a Boy, and it stars Jimmy Fallon (who is so gorgeous, by the way, and I want one of my own) and Drew Barrymore (once again, beautiful in this.) They changed the game from football (the soccer kind) to baseball and the setting from Britain to America, but it still has that wonderfully understated British feel to it. I swear, it's basically a survival guide for anyone who wants to live with a fan - and it does it all really affectionately. It also makes an important distinction: fans are obsessive, but we still put the real people in our lives first. It's so charming and lovely. I really suggest everybody go see it if it gets released (I assume it isn't in wide release yet, but I don't know - I think the London premiere was only a few days ago.)
OMG! Loudon Wainwright III - Rufus and Martha's daddy - is going to be in Elizabethtown. Have I mentioned I love this film already? And I'm reading the script (the glorious![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
truffle_shuffle sent it to me) and it's fanTAStic.
Except for this: "it's" is an abbreviation of "it is", "its" means "belonging to it"; and
"Better THAN", not "better THEN." And that applies for any similar situation. "Funnier than," "happier than," "prettier than."
And I have to mention the song from the trailers, "My Father's Gun" by Elton John, again, because I really can't stop listening to it.

I love this weird geek rock stuff, it's adorable.

If you don't get the joke, you're a bloody idiot. THIS IS WHAT SANE FANDOM LOOKS LIKE.
I really need this:
without the watermark. Hires would be great. Hires of that entire evening would be rewarded with a picspam/icon of the giver's choice.
Anyone?
Too cute for words.
Please don't take this as rejection

Jason Mraz is amazing. He's awesome in that full-of-himself but cute kind of way...only boys can do that.
Cheers!

I also want a Jimmy Fallon of my own. He used to be my #1, top of my list guy. I think he's beautiful and quirky and has probably the best smile ever.
Now I must read what
(Glad you're enjoying the script, btw)

Jimmy Fallon is awesome. I'd never seen him acting before but I'd noticed him in some other things - award shows and a couple comedy things I caught bits of. I like him a lot.
I finished the script. Damn, that's a good movie.

I used to force my friends to watch SNL every Saturday because of Jimmy - but then it wasn't too difficult to convince them considering we all loved Will Ferrell and Tracy Morgan and Horatio, Tina, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph...the entire cast, really. *Sigh* Back when the cast was perfect. It was really lacking something this year with Jimmy and Will gone. And the next season is going to be really strange because Tina Fey and Maya Rudolph are both having babies, and Tina's the head writer.
I'm glad you liked the script. I got sorta teary at the end. I can't wait to see how it's all filmed and put together. Judging from the trailer, it's going to be absolutely perfect.

He loved it. And he didn't even mind my squeeing over the adorable Jimmy Fallon either ;)

Yeah, I love Jason Mraz too! One of my best friends met him when she was in America. She went to this huge three-day concert thing in San Fransisco at this huge gorge thing... kinda like Falls Festival. And she'd met him at a smaller gig a couple nights before in the city, and ended up camping with him and his band! So groovey.
I like 'Geek in the Pink'. Not a fan of I Melt With You.

I have a 20 gig by the name of Hedwig.
Oh that's cool :) I haven't heard Geek in the Pink.
