"I am intrigued by your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter."

Everyone should subscribe to my newsletter. Title is from 'The Simpsons'.

The Day So Far
Shoveled the walk and showered. Didn't do much else because it's New Years Eve and fun will be had, after I get out of work at 6.

Actor News:
-Peter Jackson was knighted! He was "made a Knight Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit for his "services to film."

Aww, look at him :)

Patrick Stewart was also knighted for his services in drama.


Two of the greats finally recognised for their amazing talents. It almost makes it better that Mick Jagger is a knight as well.

Almost.

Most Recent Movie(s)/TV Show(s) I've Seen At Home:

'Last of the Mohicans'

Directed by Michael Mann, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Madeleine Stowe, Wes Studi and Russell Means, based on the book by James Fenimore Cooper. I tried to read the book a few weeks ago, but got side-tracked, and so figured this would be the next best thing. I think I was wrong. It's not a bad movie, and for one that has an "epic" scale to it, it was unexpectedly short {or at least felt like it was}. But, I feel a lot of it could've been better as a whole.

Grade: C

Funny Picture(s) I've Found:
Historical jokes are funny.

The Song Currently Stuck In My Head:
'Uprising' by Muse. One of the best songs on their worst {but still amazingly good} album. How can it be both their worst and still be good? Listen to their 4 other albums in order; 'Showbiz', 'Origin of Symmetry', 'Absolution' and 'Black Holes and Revelations' and then get back to me.


Jackie Earle Haley:
Sorry if I'm cockblocking anyone, but, I can't not show him with Amelia. They are incredibly cute together.

Hot Guy Of the Day
Billy Boyd.
Did you forget how hot he is? You want to watch 'Lord of the Rings' now, don't you?

Quote of the Day
-Cat: "Why don't we drop the defensive shields?"
-Kryten: "An excellent plan, sir, with only two minor drawbacks: One, we don't have any defensive shields and two, we don't have any defensive shields. Now I know technically that's only one drawback, but I thought it was such a big one, it was worth mentioning twice."


Anything Else I Can Think Of
Band You Should Be Listening To:
Patrick Wolf
He's reminiscent of Antony & The Johnsons, but sounds more like a human and less like a sad ghost. I recommend the album 'The Magic Position' as a starting point.

Bluebells, one of his best songs:

"Broadcast on all known frequencies and in all known languages. Including Welsh."

Rimmer, I think Welsh is a language. Title is from 'Red Dwarf'

The Day So Far
I woke up today at 10:55, after resetting my alarm at 10:45, and didn't know so many things could go wrong within the space of about 15 minutes. Dad called, so I got to talk to him for a bit. While I was on the phone with him, I was making my breakfast; Frosted Flakes. When I poured the milk from the last of the 1/2 gallon over it, it was chunky. So, I tossed a whole bowl of cereal in the garbage. My second try was almost worse, since, though the sell by date was today, it had gone off. I smelled it, but sometimes milk just smells gross. So, I poured a little into a glass and took a sip. It tasted weird and then when I tasted it again, I was almost sick.

So, yes, definitely sour milk. FUUUH.

I worked with Ben and am now relaxing at home before Derek's Halloween party.

Movie News:
According to Daniel Craig, the next James Bond film is scheduled to begin filming sometime next year. I for one am excited at the thought of another Bond film. At least, one with Mr. Craig in it, since he's my favourite Bond {granted, the only other movie with someone else playing Bond in it I've seen has been 'The Spy Who Loved Me', with Roger Moore...truly awful}.

TV News:
According to this article, and Lauren's blog from today, the 10th season of 'Red Dwarf' will launch the 10th season of the show shortly. Now, though this is one of my most favourite television shows ever {I got into it in 5th grade, and have been hooked ever since}, there's a few things wrong with this:
-I don't recall them having a 9th season. Unless you count 'Back to Earth', the recent TV special they did {and I do NOT count that}.
-All of the actors, with the exception of Danny John-Jules {The Cat} and Robert Llewelyn {who has prosthetics put over his face for every episode as Kryten}, are WAY too old to be playing their roles. Chris Barrie and Craig Charles do not look convincing as Lister and Rimmer anymore, and they look more like they want to take a shower and listen to records all evening with wine in their hand while they fall asleep in their armchairs. And, I wasn't aware holograms aged.
-The 7th season of 'Red Dwarf' was almost unbearable, once they reintroduced Kochanski {Lister's recurring love interest from the first season, whom he never actually got together with}, one of the most insipid and annoying characters ever. Or maybe it's just because I didn't like the actress. Whatever the reason, they were really trying to make the show funny in season 7, and I just wasn't feeling it. Season 8 picked up a lot, but comes nowhere near the genius of seasons 3-6.

See? Even they don't look happy about the new show, and this picture is easily 15 years old. Let's not sully the original memory of this show.

I thank all the Gods that actually do exist that the American pilot of 'Red Dwarf' never actually got off the ground.

The Song Currently Stuck In My Head:
'Jack's Lament' from the Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack. It's almost Halloween, and I feel I should begin getting in the spirit of the holiday.

Jackie Earle Haley:

I can't wait until 'Human Target' premieres. Just have to wait until January. Can I do it?...I guess I'll have to.

Quote(s) of the Day
-Deb: "You are not allowed to talk about anyone I date as long as you’re seein’ Little Miss "Pardon My Tits". I am sorry, Dex, but she is gross. And pale. And nobody is pale in Miami. She is obviously a vampire. A gross, English, titty vampire."

-Kryten: "Mr. Rimmer is suffering from a stress-related nervous disorder."
-Lister: "Next time I see him he'll be suffering from a fist-related teeth disorder."

A Video You Need to See:
The question game scene from 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead'. If you haven't seen this movie by now, you should be ashamed of yourself. It's got Gary Oldman AND Tim Roth in it.

"Of course you're tense, you rectum-faced pygmy!"

I've heard pygmies are tense. Title is from 'Red Dwarf'.

The Day So Far

Watched a movie, got the mail, going to school in a bit.

News/Stuff About Celebrities and Movies/Music/TV Shows/etc.
Movie News:
The Daily Poll on IMDB is asking, out of the following actors, who we think should be cast as Bilbo Baggins: Ben Barnes {currently playing Dorian Gray in the self-titled movie, and who played Prince Caspian in the 2nd Narnia movie}, Jamie Bell {who was the younger brother in 'Defiance'}, Dominic Cooper {Dakin in 'The History Boys'}, Hugh Dancy {in 'Confessions of a Shopaholic'}, Matthew Goode {Mr. "Did it 35 Minutes Ago" Veidt}, Zac Efron {NO!}, Martin Freeman {main guy in 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'}, James McAvoy, Robert Pattinson {FUCK NO}, Simon Pegg {:D}, Daniel Radcliffe, Jim Sturgess {the main guy in 'Across the Universe'}, David Tennant, Sam Worthington {in 'Terminator: Salvation'} and Anton Yelchin.

Some of these people I could see, since a lot of them are competent actors, but of all of them, Simon Pegg is the only one I could really see playing 33 year old Bilbo. Most of my problems with these others come from the fact that most of them are either too tall or too young. I voted for Simon on the poll and am seeing that James McAvoy is winning, and while I could sort of see why, since he's young and attractive and all these girls want to see everything he's in, but we should go with an actor who could carry the movie and could LOOK the part of a hobbit.

Matthew Goode, David Tennant, Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin are too tall. Zac Efron, Robert Pattinson...NOOOOOO!!!

Most Recent Movie(s) I've Seen At Home:
'I Could Never Be Your Woman', directed by Amy Hecklering, who also directed the amazing movie 'Clueless'. Not so amazing job with this, though I really wanted to like it. Paul Rudd is so adorable. I couldn't not fall in love with him in this movie. All the actors were good in this, the directing was great, but, as what happens with a lot of movies recently, could have benefited from a major script re-write. I mention this on the newest WPTJEH podcast episode in relation to the 'Bad News Bears' remake, and it's no less true.

This only serves to remind me that 'Supernatural' season 4 is out on DVD today. I know what I'm picking up on the way home from school.

The Song Currently Stuck In My Head:
'Inside of You' by Hoobastank. Possibly one of the most inappropriate songs ever, but I love it so much. It always makes me think of a cerain celebrity, and I don't know why. It's surreal, I know. ;)

Jackie Earle Haley:
I love his jeans in this photo! I don't know how he always manages to get so stylin' all the time.

A Video You Need to See:
If anyone hasn't seen the TV show 'Red Dwarf', you should see it NOW. It's only 8 seasons, but all of them are 6 episodes long, so, you could probably burn through three in less than a day :)
