We're monkey monkee men, and we'll eat all your friends

We really will. Title is from the song 'Monkee Monkey Men' by Men Women & Children.

The Day So Far
I finished 'Six Feet Under' last night/early this morning, and cried my eyes out. One of the best and most depressing endings to any TV show I've ever seen.

I had a fudgesicle this morning for breakfast and may have sushi for lunch with my soon-to-be-ex roommate.

News/Stuff About Celebrities and Movies/Music/TV Shows/etc.
Movie You Should Be Excited About:
'Shutter Island'

Not the least because it's directed by Martin Scorsese, whom many consider to be one of the greatest directors alive, but because it has an amazing ensemble cast; Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Ted Levine, Patricia Clarkson, Michelle Williams, Jackie Earle Haley, Ben Kingsley and Emily Mortimer. Plus, you know, the story is excellent. And anything with Jackie Earle Haley is a movie I can get behind, even if it's just for him.

Most Recent Movie I Have Seen In Theatres:
'The Hurt Locker'. Directed by Kathryn Bigelow, mastermind behind 'Near Dark', among other movies. It's an intense white-knuckler of a movie about a bomb squad in the chaos of the Iraq War. Starring one of my other favourite actors; Jeremy Renner, whom many may know from '28 Weeks Later', 'S.W.A.T', 'Dahmer' and 'The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford', was amazing in it, and I'm pleased to see him in more leading man roles. Plus, the rest of the cast, ones that you know and ones that come out of nowhere pretty much make the movie.

Grade: A-

Miscellany
I have finished 8 TV shows now, as you can see on the list to the right of this blog. The next one I watch will be either 'The Wire', 'Deadwood' or 'Lie to Me'.

Hot Guy of the Day
Chris Messina, whom I noticed on 'Six Feet Under'. He has some really sexy lips, and don't you just want to mess up that hair? :3 He's also in 'Julie & Julia', which I've been wanting to see and now I have another reason to.

Quote of the Day
"Yes, and the Crusades were, 'We kill you in the name of Jesus!'

'Wait, we have Jesus too! He's a prophet in our religion! We kill you in the name of Jesus!'

'Do you? Well, we kill you for your dark skin, for Jesus was a white man from Oxford!'

'No, he wasn't! He was from Judea! Dark-skinned man, such as we!'

'Look, it's just we've come all this way. Would you mind awfully if we hacked you to bits? Just for the press back home.'"- Eddie Izzard, 'Glorious'


Anything Else I Can Think Of
Band You Should Be Listening To:

Sleater-Kinney. Yes, I know they broke up in 2007, but their album 'The Woods' is raucous and beautiful in a way that you wouldn't think a girl band would be able to achieve, especially the first track on the album, The Fox. It makes you want to either get up and dance or mosh the fuck out of people.

I Want:
I've been looking for a bloody smiley-face pin, and cannot find it anywhere. You'd think it would have been the first thing made to promote the Watchmen movie, but, unfortunately not. :(

I want a Watchmen smiley face pin! I would even settle for a regular smiley face one that I could add the blood to. But no, that seems to be too much to ask for. *pouts*

This is my blogger which I never use, so I posted that crap just to say there's something in it xD

Yeah, it does seem to be too much to ask for a damned smiley pin. ><

I love your comic on your blogger :)
