Viral Video Vituperations, Volume I
A bottle of 20 proof cough syrup, a box of 3-ply virucidal tissues, 3 remote controls with fresh batteries, and a pissy demeanor.
Good Night, and Good Luck
The only thing better than seeing George Clooney in bed with Jon Stewart (pause, reflect, ahhh) would be to see George Clooney in bed with Robert Downey, Jr. Good night, this one's close enough! Tied neck-and-neck after the cocky smile competition, they enter the bedroom eye staredown. It's a close race, and the judge has sweat poring down her brow just thinking about it (at least, it could have been my brow). In the upset of the century, I call Downey by a raised eyebrow. That's what you get when the judge has a thing for raised eyebrows. What, you thought Stephen Colbert got where he is because of the god machine?
Prelude to a Kiss
I can barely remember what the movie's about. Alec Baldwin looks like he's wearing more eyeliner than I ever did in the 80s. Is that the way he always looks? He has to shave his neck, doesn't he?
The Laramie Project
Yes, I finally got around to seeing this movie. Simply amazing. It makes Crash look like a simple, one-dimensional piece of doo. Times ten. I therefore give it ten alcohol-laden cough syrup bottoms up!
Leap of Faith
A fine time-filler, if you ignore the craptastic ending. Sorry, Steve, you will never ever ever ever surpass the brilliance that was The Jerk. And Debra Winger is always hot. I even sound like her right now, except for the coughing. I'm hacking hot.
Sling Blade
It's a special gift I have. A gift for not remembering details about movies I've seen before. Like the plot, or the ending. I remember little more than my impression, as in "I loved it - I sense... sadness". I like to call it a gift because this way, I can watch movies I've already seen as if it were the first time, knowing that they'll be a big hit with me. If I didn't call it a gift, well, then it would just be sad. Really should have taken muscle relaxers before this one, though, as my jaw was clenched the whole time. Now I can't get to sleep. Hmmm, a few more swigs of cough syrup?
for the NNAF

Oh poor you! Sending lots of healing vibes your way. When I'm sick (or sometimes when I'm sulking and refusing to have anything to do with the universe) I go for videos of Buffy, The Simpsons, Futurama and kung fu movies. WIth chocolate, cough syprup and tea of course.

This is the best possible way to deal with being sick.
I can't remember things about movies either. Drives people crazy. But like you said, it means you get to watch things over and over. ;)
Don't forget Arrested Develoment-it makes me happy when I'm sick.
I could get behind the whole Clooney thing if I hadn't heard him 'joking' about paying for lap dances on the red carpet. Fuck him.
Re: Clooney, etc. I'm not a big celebrity person. I'm purely for how good they are at getting a reaction out of me. Which is their job. Usually anything else: pooh. It's like boycotting. If I boycott everything for every reason that matters, then I boycott everything, which isn't that effective. Same with causes. There are too many, so it's best I focus on what I can make a difference with personally. I do understand though how one thing can blow it for a person.
So with Clooney: it's purely physical :) Same with Downey. Downey's probably not a popular one but I don't care. He does his job well - has incredible talent and eyes and smile and blows me away. That's just how it is. And I'm sick, so I get to drool if I want. (Hmm, not meaning to sound defensive!) Gawd I ramble.
My 10 year-old daughter loves Buffy and Charmed. I'd have to check with her to get all caught up!
Chocolate is too wonderful. Dark chocolate. But not when you're also dealing with monthly hormones. No no no.
SE: We could definitely get along as far as movies are concerned. I've got drawers full and can always find something I've forgotten enough to watch again.
Yeah well that kind of asshattery is too off putting for me. I cannot recover or ignore. Basically I cannot find him attractive anymore-it's just the way my attraction works. Although if Johnny Depp said something similar that might not be the same (though I doubt it, but luckily he doesn't joke about purchasing women.)
But then again I watched Syriana and he is so NOT the hot one in that. Mmmmmmm Alexander El-Siddig. *drool*
LC, I know what you mean. I didn't see that comment, and if I did, who knows, I might have stopped feeling attraction too. Can't choose those things. There's others that this has happened with, all it took was one thing, and that was it. Not that I can remember who they are right now. Hmmm, maybe its because I find no interest in watching celebrity talk as it is, so I miss a lot of it. I would suck at celebrity trivia.
Mmmm, Johnny Depp, ot bad. I think he started getting more attractive to me when he started doing Tim Burton films.
