Sometimes you just spend the night watching both Tron movies with your besties and then somehow stay up through all Monster High webisodes well into the morning and then you go home but realize that it's past Stupid O' Clock and there's no going back and you just decide to stay up because you have coffee and a meme to fill out ( Read more... )

Here's a TL:DR comment for your LOVELY TL:DR Post. ♥ kihanna February 19 2012, 23:29:06 UTC

My god last night. I've still been a little HNNGGHHH TRON. ALL OF THESE CHARACTERS ( ... )

Here's a late response to your rather prompt one! post_hummus February 29 2012, 08:45:37 UTC

Will never get over Tron, EVER. Watching Legacy again, even when it's been a YEAR, I was still awestruck as when I first saw it in theaters. There is not a single moment where that movie ISN'T beautiful. IT'S A FEAST FOR THE EYES
and haaaaaa i love how we were all tearing up at the father-son reunion. THE EMOTIONS

I'm really glad that you enjoyed The Last Unicorn as much as you did! Honestly, when I saw it as a youngin', the only part my brain thought worthy of remembrance was Schmendrick being smothered by Tree Tits. Yeah, says a lot. But once I viewed it again many years later, I was sincerely moved by the overall poignancy of the story.

Oh goodness, Mad Monster Party. Well...we saw it, all right! Haha. Dune FINALLY came in, but I'm not sure when we'll be able to watch it, since we're hanging with Paul on Friday and then Robert's birthday is the following Saturday...OH, you know, I just realized the Sunday after the party is Dr. Sketchy day. Yikes. Think you'd be up for it ( ... )

Man I forgot how FULL OF EMOTIONS that movie is. Happy, touching, sad, nostalgic. Damn. Especially after watching '82 immediately before. It's certainly not a mystery as to why they're pretty much my favorite movies. There are a lot of movies these days that suffer from being completely visual and no plot and blank characters, but I'm glad Legacy is far from being a victim of that.

I guess we'll have to see how Saturday night goes! Hell, Robert's so bad at staying up late that it probably wont be much different than any other Saturday night. XD It'd be a shame to miss Dr. Sketchy. I vote we go unless if we all feel too shitty. I guess we'll see! We'll get to Dune eventually. Unless if you urgently need to send it back for something else ( ... )

Agreed agreed agreeeeeeeed. I'm super picky about movies, especially ones that, as you mentioned, think that by adding over-the-top visuals will make up for flat characters and plot. NOPE, nope, nosiree. It also helps that CGI just seems to be made purely for TRON!

Though, I somehow came upon this last night, and it's totally worth sharing. Stop-motion Tron!

(also omg, 'Separate Ways' by Journey just started playing while typing this HAHAHA)

Bah! ROBERT AND HIS NORMAL SLEEP SCHEDULE. BAH, I SAY! Nah, I'll just have to make sure to go home earlier than usual, since Dr. Sketchy is pretty much an all-day thing. I can hang onto Dune, it takes me awhile to get around to watching the DVDs I rent anyway, haha.

We should arrange that, somehow! It's natural to be self-conscious when sharing ideas, I think. But keeping in mind that it's your story and you can do whatever you like, there's really no right nor wrong. Actually, answering your question really got me thinking about that world again. Time to take it off the back-burner ( ... )

Funny thing, I'm fairly certain that we considered getting that Pictoral Webster's book for you for your birthday or some other occasion, but decided to get you something else instead. It definitely rings a bell. Little did we know that it would go out of print! Or whatever happened to it. The other book looks cool as well! Obviously I'm also really into anthropology, having majored in History in the first place. I enjoy exploring other cultures and filling my mind with as many "useless" tidbits of information as possible. I think that's really one of my primary joys in life, diving into some new subject and absorbing knowledge as quickly as I can before I'm forced to come up for air ( ... )

Oh really? But you opted for the BEE BOOK, and seriously, that's one of my most prized possessions! Not sure what's up with the Pictorial Webster's...or B&N in general. They're being kinda poopy with my order.

In regards to anthropology, I highly suggest watching Baraka, if you haven't already! It's definitely my film choice for observing the beauty of culture, society, and places from all over the world. No narration, either, so it really lets you immerse yourself in the experience. The Qatsi Trilogy seems to be of similar ilk, but I've yet to watch them ( ... )
