Results of the LJ Awards Meme. Runner-up for most intelligent! Clearly you guys aren't reading my journal carefully enough. ;)
OH. MY. GODS. New Jensen Ackles photoshoot guaranteed to make you drool, laugh, then drool some more. And lose all coherency. Nguh. Favourites: the Zoolander-type water one, the leather suit, the black & white profile, the film noir hero and the cowboy. HOLY SHIT.
Be back shortly, have to restart to get GORGEOUS WIFE PICS from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dryope. She is SO BEAUTIFUL. And look, Samaire Armstrong! Michelle Trachtenburg!
ETA: Tonight I saw Poseidon.
I don't know what the critics were expecting from this movie, exactly. Shakespeare? I found it to be enormously enjoyable, much more so than X3: The Last Stand, probably because I expected so much less of it. I wasn't exactly on the edge of my seat worrying about what would happen and being scared, but a lot of the situations were confronting and real in at least the characters' reactions, and I spent a lot of the time going 'That's SO COOL.'
I could've done without the first scenes introducing the characters, though, they really were terribly written and conceived. Blunt like a spoon. I would find it interesting to start the movie once the New Year's party had started and just figured out the relationships as the movie happened - there was enough in it for you to figure out the relationships etc. that way, and I wouldn't have had to suffer through those awful first scenes. Could've done without the pointless Fergie cameo, too.
Once the action got started I didn't really worry about any of that, though. I didn't worry a huge amount for most of the characters either (except Richard Dreyfuss, because he's so lovely) but it was still very entertaining and fun, and didn't take itself too seriously. Case in point:
Mum to kid in impossible situation: 'How did you even get in there?'
Kid in impossible situation: 'I don't know, but I'm scared!'
The special effects were AMAZING, and Josh Lucas is nice eye-candy. Mia Maestro is also really gorgeous.
I remember seeing Kevin Dillon in the credits and going 'I wonder if he's related to Matt?' Then I saw him and went 'Oh. Right. Yeeeaaaahh.'
I'd give this about 6.5 stars out of 10. Not a great movie, but solidly entertaining.
