No shame in that! Misha's a funny dude.
Have you ever seen this?

Hey SailorKa, did you finish watching Big? Did you hate the ending as much as I did?

I probably wouldn't go for the strapless look, I personally would like either sleeves or a bodice that went up to my neck with a high collar and without sleeves (see: Mary Queen of Scots. http://www.starscolor.com/imgs/11016-mary-stuart-6.html Like that but without the sleeves and not such a poofy collar. I love sheer and lace fabric so I'd like it right above my chest with a sweetheart neckline, connecting to the high collar, if you know what I mean. I wouldn't mind sheer sleeves. And a gigantic cross. ::meev:: I always thought Mary Stuart was so fashionable.) ... But I have no idea actually so I can't really say XD
I freaking hate strapless dresses. They're so boring, and then the bride spends all day pulling it up at the armpits because your boobs alone can't hold up a heavy gown.
These are the best gowns though. ::squee::
There's a Disney princess gown line in the US, but they don't look like the princesses at all! It's just boring dresses with a name slapped on.

Misha's a freakin' riot, I love him, that video and his Twitter. People always joke about the SPN characters meeting their actors and J2 would get along well with their characters but Castiel would have absolutely NO IDEA how to deal with Misha Collins. XD
As for the slash poll, I voted both for Teen Wolf and Supernatural respectively until the very end where I had to choose. And I chose Teen Wolf/Sterek XD because I feel like if lots of people show their support for the pairing, they might make them happen in the show and just imagining a couple of bisexual guys getting together in the middle of a Supernatural show like its nbd(like these things are usually done on Teen Wolf) make me get stars in my eyes. ::squee::

So yeah, I LOVE destiel and Supernatural but I had to defer my loyalties for that poll. Also, yeah, Misha and the official SPN twitter tweeted about it but with Teen Wolf, pretty much everyone in the cast tweeted the poll so that might've helped with votes(that and Teen Wolf is pretty much filled with Sterek fans, whereas SPN is more split up between wincest/het/destiel shippers. *sorry, is it too obvious im a fandom dork?*

@Cerceaux: AHHHH! We(my neighbor and I) had to put off BIG cuz we watched it together and my neighbor went on vacation and then she came back and we're both pretty huge Hanakimi fans so we've been all over that Korean adaptation, so we havent had time to finish BIG. I'll comment here once I do, even thou now you scared me with the ending....

Speaking of Korean Hanakimi thou(To The Beautiful You), I think this might be one of the most LGBT-positive Korean dramas I've seen to date(tied with Coffee Prince). In the manga and other drama adaptations(Japanese and Taiwanese) Nakatsu spends the entire show performing "gay panic humour" (::hora:: )like when he gets "excited" when he sees a bra and wraps himself around it singing "HOMO JANAIYOOOO~" but its been kept to SUCH A MINIMUM in this Korean adaptation.
Which is ironic since they made the DOCTOR, the gayest most flamboyant character in that manga, STRAIGHT(shudders)...but really, the way they've treated Eun Kyul/Nakatsu's ~coming out~ process as a typical(in the west) coming out teenager story. He's tried coming out to his mom, he came out to his roommate(who accepted him immediately), has fantasized about marrying his crush and pictures them both in tuxedos and adopting kids, etc.
Pretty unheard of things coming from Korea, which usually treats homosexuality like a disease from the west or something curable.
I think part of the ~open-mindedness~ of the show comes from the fact that the viewer knows Jae Hee is "actually a girl" but if you see it from HIS POV, he fell in love with a guy, struggled with it for some episodes, came to the conclusion that there was nothing wrong with it, and enjoyed his crush to the fullest.

That's a far cry from the constant bombard of aegyo/kawaii homophobia I witnessed in similar shows like You're Beautiful.

OMG, this became so long, im sorry. I just get excited about Hanakimi. :mad: ::shifty::

^You might want to check out "Life is Beautiful". I haven't seen it, but it supposedly has a normal (as in, positively portrayed and not for comic relief, etc) gay couple.

A Grindhouse flick, so yeah, definately not for the faint of heart lol. Plenty of gore and :o moments, especially the school bus scene. Overall, I was entertained.

Next up to watch is The Guard. Irish black comedy, here I come~

Saw "Aguirre, the Wrath of God" by Werner Herzog last week. I thought it was really great. My classmates thought the production was bad and that it looked cheap... because it was made in the early 1970s. I think they're insane. Insane.
Anyways, I think the movie totally depicted what it was (probably) like to be a conquistador traveling in the Amazon! And how mad Aguirre was.

It was kind of funny to see Spanish conquistadors speaking German though.
... Aguirre had long blonde hair ::meev::


I've also had an urge to see "Antz" again, so I added it to my queue. I distinctly remember seeing it when I was little with my dad and loving it.

I can't believe it was that long ago, the World Trade Center was still there. :/

I really liked General Mandible and his advisor Cutter. I guess they seemed real to me. I loved it when General Mandible finished his speech about the workers (the proletariat! XD) and they started chanting his name. I was like "cooooooool" XD I swear, people get all worried about heroes/heroines influencing children, but what about the villains? Those were MY favorite people ::meev::

Bodacious Space Pirates: Hey PE, when are you going to watch this?
Actually there's no piracy yet, but the main character's mom is a cool ex-pirate. ::k::


Also Halloweentown. I looked up Kimberly J. Brown online, but she hasn't really done any acting since her Disney days. It's too bad, I like her.

I have no idea when I'm going to see that XD I want to, but right now I'm like "AHHH" with all these other things.


We saw "The Mission" in class.

Oh my gosh, a young Robert de Niro and Jeremy Irons! It was really good. Maybe it's because I've always been interested in the different types of philosophies monks have, and the politics in the upper levels of the hierarchy of the Catholic church along with Spain/Portugal. I think the only troublesome thing in this movie was the depiction of the Guarani as receptive and pure people who hardly speak, only towards the end do they actually speak up. But that's mainly my only quibble and it wasn't that big of a deal. We were all pretty silent and sad at the end. The music was great too and I loved Cardinal Altamirano even though he isn't a great person.
I've always loved cardinals' red robes so maybe I'm biased. ::meev::

I think my favorite scene was when the Spanish and Portuguese soldiers come upon the mission and see the crosses and hear a mass going on. They all had this "I can't believe we're doing this" face on.

A lot of the movie was filmed at Iguazu Falls, WTF IT'S BEAUTIFUL. Who ever wants to go to Niagara Falls after seeing this?

I mean seriously? Seriously? XD

Resident Evil: Damnation

Way better than their first cg movie! I thought the action parts were more entertaining and Leon wasn't such a robot in this one, yay.

Watched Rear Window yesterday, been a while since I last saw it.

... I didn't even know about this movie... I have to watch it now~ I liked Degeneration well enough, this should be pretty awesome! And the latest live action RE movie came out recently and I haven't seen that either, and I just got around to starting RE6 o_O This is a pretty big month for Resident Evil! ::shifty::

Yeah, it came out around the end of September. It is pretty awesome, the scenery and building details were pretty beautiful. And Lickers! This movie made me feel sorry for them, lol.

Ehh . . . not really big on seeing the new live action movie until it's on DVD for rent 'cuz lbr, I'm not paying $10 to watch that hot mess. Same goes for you, Silent Hill 3D. ::gaku::

And I can't even rent RE6 because every copy is always out whenever I visit the store. I'll be able to play it next month, I think. ;A;

UGHHH just have to rant. I'm watching Little House on the Prairie, the episode where Dr. Baker (finally) falls in love with this rich city girl named Kate who comes to visit, she is so pretty and cute! I can't stop staring at her. She falls off her carriage by accident and he cures her hand and foot and that's how they meet. She falls in love with him too and she's later like, "Everyone knows you're in love with me" XD OMG. I hate how Mrs. Oleson kept saying things like, "You could have any man you want why him! Your upbringing/background/etc blablabla" What an ogre. Kate isn't stupid though, I mean she was educated, gorgeous, and wealthy and all that, she knows she can have anyone she wants, but she wanted Dr. Baker, gosh.

http://www.angelfire.com/stars5/lhouse/Lady2.jpg
the cool couple.

They're adorable together, he even made her a ring out of the gold chain of one of his father's watches because he couldn't find one he liked at the mercantile. He's all "I never felt so alive," ahhhhh~ They have a ton of fun with picnics and little parties and such and announce their engagement to everyone. They're already planning their big house.

OMG, so like, he breaks up with her and their engagement at the end for such a stupid reason OMG NOOOO!!! ::hora:: I really think he let his friends get to him and got all self-conscious. I realize why I'd rather not live in a town, everyone's always in your business! I guess it could happen with a group of friends either way, but the whole town was asking about them and being all "concerned." I'm sure they care about him, but the little comments here and there added up. So many people asked if they were going to have kids, how many kids they'd have, etc, it was annoying!
So he tells her and she's like, "I still think we would've had a good marriage" and she's crying. She asks if she can keep the ring he made and he said, "It was made for you, it would never fit anyone else." ::zetsubou:: She gives him a quick kiss and runs into her house.

The next day she gets into her carriage as he's watching from a window, and she leaves town never to be seen again ::zetsubou::

I was just in shock and my mouth was hanging open. What the heck? If I was Dr. Baker I'd never get over it. I mean, he felt so happy for once and now it's all over. Now what? And for her, sure she'll get married, but I don't think she'll ever find such a good guy like him, and she'll always remember him anyways.
Seriously the worst and most depressing episode. ::zetsubou::
