wretches who
So ... this happened. Also, M was a lovely and charming host, although I'm pretty sure that having out-of-town guests who live in Boston and Cleveland come visit you in Atlanta in the middle of March is a lot like babysitting patients at a methadone clinic. For ex: "No, seriously, we can take a scenic tour of the local garbage ( Read more... )

It was all I could think about the whole movie! Especially because Ray could play the part of the Marine who knows how to drive the abandoned city bus that facilitates a key moment of their escape.

Basically, yeah. Except there was a very jarring lack of swearing and offensive humor, which was incredibly confusing.

Most of the main characters are a platoon of Marines based out of Camp Pendleton, which made me really, really want to find-and-replace for the cast of Generation Kill.
Ahahaha, someone on my flist had pretty much the exact same idea. Great minds etC.

I feel like the Boise Aquarium probably has, like, one actual awesome sea creature, like, a killer whale in a tank too small for it, which is featured in all their pamphlets and is maybe the town mascot, but also this killer whale is REALLY DEPRESSED due to its tiny tank and loneliness etc, so they have to get it a prescription for giant-sized Paxil or something because they're always afraid it's going to commit suicide with its enrichment device.

Also I'm glad that house-elf rape is the thing to bring smartlikejustin out of fully THREE YEARS of LJ retirement. That does sound about right, though.

Remember the episode when they tried to have a benefit fundraiser to raise the costs to pay for the whale tank and they couldn't get anyone to buy tickets so they pretended to have discovered a POTATO FISH? That one was awesome. Especially when the Captain from Trashboat showed up at the fundraiser dinner in an uncredited appearance.

Also, seriously, even house-elf rape wasn't enough -- we had to almost miss our flight, leading to a series of logistical events where she was stuck on the plane without any of her reading material, with only the AirTran wireless on her phone to keep her entertained for three hours, and ... that's when she finally mastered posting with the Livejournal iPhone application. Hopefully this is a sign of great things to come.

They STILL don't list that on her imdb page. I've emailed them like A MILLION times.

Battle: Los Angeles was AWESOME and my whole face was a popcorn.gif for two hours.

Now I'm excited. I saw the trailers and was so hoping this movie would not suck and while I'm sure some people would think a cross between Independence Day and Speed sounds horrible, to me it sounds like MAGIC :)

UGH COME BACK my life is so devoid of drinking on patios shrieking lj injokes.

Remember the episode where the PR intern wants to use songs from The Little Mermaid to publicize the aquarium but then they get in copyright trouble? Very derivative of Sports Night with Happy Birthday but what can you do.
