I think that I would understand Brokeback if it were in a completely different language. I'd say as a silent film, but then you wouldn't have all the gorgeous soundtrack and aching silences and perfect sound effects. But it's a film that doesn't need a word of intelligable dialogue (and doesn't have that many.) The script is good, but it's visually and aurally perfect. Every scene is its own story and fits into the bigger story, every scene has a purpose, and the visual framing and mise-en-scene is always flawless.
Also, every single ad on TV is sexist.
I'm getting tired of the afternoon thunderstorms we get around here. Also, I was going to see Pan's Labyrinth again tonight with Mitchell but he opted out so I watched The OC instead. It all seems very anti-climactic for an end to a 4-season show. I liked it better this season without Marissa but I still felt like it was too much about the couples and not enough about the other relationships on the show. I miss the Seth/Ryan time mostly.
crumpeteer examines Sam in Born Under a Bad Sign. Much more in-depth than my 'HOLY SHIT THAT'S HOT SEX ME NOW' reaction.
Official Fruity Oaty Bar t-shirt!Nominations for the
important awards of the season -
The Saturn Awards - are up. Children of Men may not have been nominated for an Oscar but if it doesn't win the Saturn there's something wrong with the world. SNAKES ON A PLANE AND SLITHER! I hope the girl from Pan's wins best young actor. Alfonso vs. Guillermo for Best Director is an interesting one. Alfonso Cuaron is my favourite director but Pan's Labyrinth was done beautifully. Heroes, Lost and Veronica Mars are all up against each other for Best Series - that's a hard one for me, and why no Supernatural?? My FAVOURITE category is Best Supporting Actor, there's only one name on that list I don't know and love (but I'm rooting for Masi.)
Also nominated was Battlestar Galactica, and I have a link to pictures from
that signing event I told all you Californians to go to but I guess you didn't hear me or something. I want Tahmoh Penikett so badly, holy crap. He's just. I can't even. And I don't LIKE V-neck tops on men.

Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 10 weird habits/things/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks. Then everyone has to post one weird thing about me in the comments. Okay, I made the last bit up. Humour me.
