My sister found our Zoombinis game!

I played it for hours, it's so addictive. It's really fucked up on my computer though, the screen splits and repeats at the bottom, and it messes up the resolution. Still, so cool omg.

My friend [livejournal.com profile] suika713 made a Veronica Mars fanmix and it's awesome.

Somebody remind me why I'm not watching the World Cup? Oh yeah, it's on at like 4 am our time. Still...*drools* the manlove is fantastic.

So apparently Steve Carlson had a song on Supernatural? I don't know, it was in the Supernatural music mix I got from [livejournal.com profile] goldie_gal. I gotta say, Christian's voice is sexier.

Tonight I watched an Australian movie that hasn't been released yet called Footy Legends

It's the typical Aussie underdog movie that gets made. It's pretty much about our version of trailer trash - bogans, dole bludgers and losers who get their high school Aussie Rules football team together (it's like American football without the padding and with less confusing rules) to enter a contest. The central character is interesting, a Vietnamese Australian who has to win or his little sister will be taken out of his care.

The movie is really well-made with an excellent cast. Very good acting all around, especially from the little girl who plays the main character's sister - she's really natural and affecting. The plot is pretty weak, though. Claudia Karvan is wasted in a role as a social worker who seems to know nothing about social work. That whole story arc is just confusing. Still, the movie manages to look rather unflinchingly at some of Australia's problems and still see a lot of heart. It was shot on location in Sydney (in Yagoona for the most part) which gave it a very realistic quality, and the director (lead actor's brother and cowriter with the lead actor) did a good job with the pacing. Camerawork's lovely.

One of the highlights of the movie for me was the music, they managed to get some great Australian stuff for the soundtrack. They've got 'What's My Scene', 'Holy Grail', even a bit of Shannon Noll. There's also a couple of cute celebrity cameos and Peter Phelps puts in an appearance as the stereotypical coach of the other side's team - complete with clipboard-throwing tantrums - but he still makes it look cool.

6.5 out of 10 stars from me.



I'm on the highway to Hell in a 1967 black Chevy Impala and the view's pretty good from here

I've been listening to the SPN music nonstop since [livejournal.com profile] goldie_gal posted it. Excellent stuff. *dances around*

And that shirt on Dom is so cute. Heeeee.

OK, I am now officially embarrassed to have missed 2 Beatles songs on there. *hangs head in shame*

From: [identity profile] clippage.livejournal.com


OH HI THAT WOULD BE A HOT MEN SPAM.

.....I need to watch more of it. More. BECAUSE THE LAST 5 MINUTES WHEN EVERYONE'S GOING CRAZY AND THERE IS STRIPPING AND MUCH BOYTOUCHING? GUH!

From: [identity profile] green-queen.livejournal.com


Maybe we need to time it so we're always watching the last 5 minutes, but don't have to bother with the actual sport.

I wish there was a sport where they just made hot athletes get all sweaty, then jump on each other and kiss and hug and put their shirts over their heads. I would watch that.

IT SHOULD BE THE THEME SONG FOR THE WORLD CUP COMMERCIALS. IF I WAS IN ADVERISMENT, I'D TOTALLY DO IT!

From: [identity profile] green-queen.livejournal.com


THAT WOULD BE GENIUS LIKE THE COLOUR VERSION OF THE ICON I USED. I WOULD SO WATCH IT TOO. FOR THE BALLS AND THE BOYTOUCHING.

THIS WORLD CUP SOCCER THING YOU LINKED ME TO? IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS EVER. I WAS/AM WATCHING "HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS" RIGHT NOW, BUT I'M TOTALLY PUTTING THE WORLD CUP ON AFTER I FINISH READING OMFG.

SWEET CHRIST WOMAN, WHEN DO YOU SLEEP?

Oh wait, you're one of us. we DON'T sleep. XD

From: [identity profile] green-queen.livejournal.com


I'm a night person, I sleep in the morning whenever possible. Also, night is when all the fun people are around.

Going to bed in about three seconds, though.

From: [identity profile] clippage.livejournal.com


You do that. I'm going to reread the page, and watch the rest of House Of Flying Daggers and then watch whatever game is coming on. Because guh.

From: [identity profile] kira-snugz.livejournal.com


thanks for the link to the world cup post, because guh!

OMG how did I miss #4?? I hear this song all the friggin time! :D

From: [identity profile] indilime.livejournal.com


I came THISCLOSE to guessing Billy Boyd for the Britney song.

From: [identity profile] green-queen.livejournal.com


LOL I'm pretty predictable like that.

Although I also have covers by The Dresden Dolls and Travis, so on a random shuffle it could've been any of them. I was just lucky I got Billy :)

From: [identity profile] indilime.livejournal.com


And that's why I didn't say Billy! Even though he seemed the likeliest candidate, I knew there were more covers you could possibly have.

From: [identity profile] green-queen.livejournal.com


*nods* a most wise decision. I think the only version I don't have is the Britney one.

Your icon!Desmond is judging me. I can tell. It's in his eyes. *runs away*

I didn't know Dead Puppies was by STEPHEN LYNCH! Cool.

Guh... those soccer pics! Are you familiar with Stephen Colbert? Even he was commenting on soccer as one of the five things that are trying to turn him gay... *L*!

Say, did you see The Proposition?

From: [identity profile] green-queen.livejournal.com


I love Stephen Colbert! I don't get to watch him unless the clips are uploaded to YouTube. He seems pretty gay-friendly though...did you see the link I had to a clip where he kissed a guy three times?

No, I didn't. I want to but I don't know if I'll be able to stomach it.

From: [identity profile] rosamundeb.livejournal.com


Unfortunately, The Proposition is only showing a few places here. Yes, I hear it's brutal, but I'd be interested in seeing David Wenham.

From: [identity profile] rosamundeb.livejournal.com


*G* And tonight, for the SECOND time... Stephen made a reference to "Snakes On a Plane". Now I know why you love him...

From: [identity profile] chyldone.livejournal.com


**laughs** I should have known number 15. My mom loves Grease :P
