books put me out of commission

[illuxtris]

I finally managed to get all the Percy Jackson books, so I spent two whole days devouring the entire series. I really shouldn't, because I end up not having anything to read, but I'm impulsive and impatient. The 'want-it-noooowwwww' trait is strong in me. Not really a good thing or something I'm proud of; it's brought me a lot of trouble at times (

I definitely want to check out the Percy Jackson books after I finish the Dresden files.

I want to see:
-Prince of Persia (high possibility that it will be mainly for lulz).
-Beastly
-Clash of the Titans (I still love the cheesy original. haha.)
-Your Highness (YES PLEASE.)
other than that, I am kind of blanking.

I loved Primeval. Connor and Abby are dear.

Ugh. Congrats on getting your braces off (been there done that). I totally feel your pain on the retainers. I had the full one on top. I totally stopped wearing them before I was supposed to (but nothing happened). I just couldn't stand it any longer. Of course, they weren't AS bad as the headgear I had to wear before they gave me braces. :P At least I only had to have that on at home.

I asked around the pDVD people and they were all 'bzuh?' :(

I keep playing with the top one with my tongue, like sort of loosening it from my teeth and I...probably shouldn't be doing that. But it's annoying. =\ But OMG headgear! At least you only had to wear them at home? :D

I haven't heard/seen that movie, but I am hoping this one actually turns out to be (in the least) watchable. And I...am not really a big fan of Disney kids. :D VHudg is actually one of the few that I could-slash-want-to watch, which is why I'll definitely be seeing this movie. Confession -- all the leads in HSM, I can watch. :D

I rarely watch out for movies coming out because they rarely interest me. I mean, even Valentine's Day didn't pique my interest, and everyone here seemed to want to see it. =\

OMG RAFA LOOKS AWESOME! I don't really care if he looks awkward, he looks GREEEEAAAAAT, and I'm not even that much of a fan. :))

THANK YOU FOR THIS! And it sounds like an awesome song, tooooo. :D

[illuxtris]

LOL yes I know you, you Roger fan! :P

Not a fan of Shakira's music, but if you've heard the English version of this? The Spanish one somehow sounds better.

[red_erythros]

LOL YES. I have to admit, though, that Roger in a music video wouldn't have as much appeal as Rafa in a music video. :)) Maybe it's because my age is closer to Rafa's.

Oh, so true! The English version was kind of *mehhhhh*, and the Spanish version just sounded amazing. When the full version of this song comes out, I'm so downloading it.

OMG Someone else who devoured the Percy Jackson series! I loveeeed it.♥ Percy is so amazing - and the fact that he gets Ds and Fs in school is amusing. He's not the male equivalent of Mary Sue at least in that sense.

We have similar taste in favorite characters non-Olympians-wise. Although I adored Charles Beckendorf and to an extent Silena. Olympian wise, I thought Demeter was just a crabby ol' bitch lol. But she was still better than Hera in my opinion. My favorite though is Hestia.

Congrats on the braces! I feeel you as a fellow braces wearer...although I still have mine. :(

*clicks on video*

[illuxtris]

I actually do see moments here and there where Percy is on toeing on Gary Stu territory, but he won me over with his wit. :D

Oh yeah, I loved Beckendorf. The Hermes kids totally pwn though. And they have a pretty cool father! Demeter wasn't around too much so she didn't have much impact on me, and I found her obsession with cereals funny. And how she helped in the war with her 'powers'...turning enemies into a field of wheat? LOLness.

Rafa is loads awkward on that video, but so freaking hot!

[rainymemories]

Ah they're called Gary Stu, lol I didn't even know that. LOL

Haha the Stoll Brothers♥ My heart nearly broke that Luke was the bad guy. Although, I liked how he redeemed himself. I hated how Annabelle still "loved" him. I'm all "CAN'T YOU SEEE?!?!??" Hermes was so... realistic- no, that's not the word, idk he was less God like and more human possibly? Poseidon's "heir" irritated me. Wow, I must have cruised through the Last Olympian that I totally forgot she turned them into wheat.

He does look a little awkward when they're getting "intimate" but I love when they're nosing. :D

[illuxtris]

Meep, sorry! I probably should have put slight spoilers under the cut?

Ooh, I have seen a pDVD of Creation but didn't pick it up because I couldn't remember what it was about. I can't deal with too much drama in a movie. And I have An Education too, but like you I haven't seen it. Beyond the Pole...is that with ASkars? I can't remember. :D And I heard The Last Airbender is going to suck. I'm not really sure if it was true, because apparently this person had read the script and it was...well, bad.

[mellafe]

Nah, it's ok. :D

Beyond the Pole is the one with the Viking, yes. I saw the trailer and I really want to watch it now. So funny.

How can these people know it's going to suck? I watched the second trailer last night and OH DEAR GOD EVERYTHING LOOKED WONDERFUL. I bet the people saying it'll suck is the same that went on and on about the casting and why are the bad Asian and the good people are white? WTF. I'm not making any judgements on the film until I watch it.
