Going to see Pink Panther with my dad!!! It's the least I can do :/ I'll have to get my Uncle M to go though, god knows how or what dad will spaz at.

I've seen the commercials with it. Aside from the accent, I doubt it's really any good. But, it still seems like a fun watch. :)

I hope it all goes well.

My dad is easily amused... unfortunately.

He'll enjoy it :). I haven't seen the first one so I'm clueless.

Something I really wanna see is the new X-Men movie... *begs uncle M to get me premiere tickets!!!*... it's a Fox movie :D.

I love people who are easily amused. They're just so.... easy to amuse. :D

I really want to see The Reader and the new Fast and Furious, due to the fact that Michelle Rodriguez *drools* is finally gonna be in it. The races are quite fun to watch as well.

OMG Underworld has Zita Görög in it. A Hungarian actress- she's really BAD.

[drftngwy]

Really? I mean, she was only in them long enough for me to deduce the fact that she's pretty. I don't know about her acting though. :/

For a second, I thought you were talking about the lead in the newest one, and I liked her in the movie, granted not as much as Kate Beckinsale, but still.

The Memory Keeper's Daughter is AMAZING. One of my favorite books! Perfect Match also!! STUNNING.
Also loved The Reader and Running with Scissors.

edit: Imagine Me & You in the cutest movie evarr!!

[drftngwy]

It really is. They both are. Haha, actually, they all are. Generally, I love the books I finish, because the minute I get bored, I stop reading, so I find myself telling people to read this or read that after every book I finish. It's a bad habit really. Have you seen the movie adaptations of The Reader & Running With Scissors?

[dynamics_xx]

Same here, I have no patience whatsoever. If the book doesn't capture my interest from the beginning, I'll never finish it.

I saw Running with Scissors around the time it first came out, and I have yet to see The Reader.

Running with Scissors was one of those books that are impossible to capture in a movie. IDK about The Reader. Have you seen it? What did you think?

[drftngwy]

Running with Scissors screwed up most of the concepts in the book. I hated how they screwed up Hope with the cat thing. I mean, I liked her in the book. It wasn't all that good of a film, I think.

The Reader was okay. I love Kate Winslet, but the movie's basically a porno, with so much sex going on all the time. If you can get past that, then the movie's pretty good.

I LOVED The Memory Keeper's Daughter and To Kill a Mockingbird is a favorite that I read every few years.

[drftngwy]

The Memory Keeper's Daughter is really one of my favorite books. It's just so well written. :)

you just highlight what you want cut, and then click the thing two items right from the CD. When your mouse hovers over it, it'll say LJ-cut. :)
