Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

Last weekend was spent mostly watching films. Which generally makes me happy, but this was more than pleasurable. :-)

First of all I got to see Labyrinth (1986). And besides the obvious OMG!Isolovetolittlebitsandpieces response... I'm a bit divided. On the one hand, I'm sorry that I never knew about it's existence as a child (well, after all - it ( Read more... )

heartbreak ridge, labyrinth, cat people

Labyrinth = ♥ I watched it approximately one million times as a kid because my babysitter was obsessed with it, and I'm afraid her fannishness has passed on to me. It's been a while since I've seen the whole movie, but I'll occasionally pop it in just to watch the masquerade, which is so. freaking. perfect. Seriously, I'm pretty sure every single one of my childhood fantasies has its roots in that scene.

because my babysitter was obsessed with it *laughs* Suppose there's only so much one's parents can protect one from, eh?

Seriously, I'm pretty sure every single one of my childhood fantasies has its roots in that scene. I can quite see why. *big grin* That's what would've happened to me as well, I fear. It really is an awesome scene in so many ways! :-D

Yay, Labyrinth! Also.. I really wanna see Cat People.

I of course knew that *you* liked it! ;-)

+ for Cat People: love interest for Nastassia (forgot her character's name) is hot, in my book at least.

- for Cat People: Nastassias brother, who tries to get with her (?!) is ugly, and in a lot of the film. Yeah, maybe that's not what I should focus on. *snickers*

Now this reminds me that I've still not seen 2nd half of "Close My Eyes". Should perhaps do that, after I've recovered somewhat from recent violent Bowie-lust and Irons-obsession and ditto Eastwood-craziness. May take a while.

I've only seen Close My Eyes once, but I remember there's a sex scene with Alan (is it bad that's one of the only things from that movie that sticks out in my mind?) Can't remember if it's in the first or second half though.

Also, may I ask who that is in your icon? I've always wondered!

lady_tongue May 16 2007, 16:23:41 UTC

oh, that you remember...? Yeah, I was kinda surprised myself when it came up, first not paying more than average attention to the scene, thinking it was between Alan's "wife" and her brother but then I went OMG! It's nekkid!Alan there!!! *goes wide-eyed* The way I remember it, you can't see the his face until some time into the scene, so ( ... )

You know what? I think this just might be the beginning of a long and beautiful friendship... :-D ( ... )

Oh? Seems like everyone loves Labyrinth! :-D
Which character did you play? I've always nurtured this fantasy about starting to role-play, but... I dunno really what my excuse is. :-~ I'm too shy, I don't have the time, nor the money to make costumes, I don't know anyone who does it. I'm.. a coward..? :-P
