"Well, you just hand me that fucking shoehorn over there, I'll take this t-shirt off and show you who's the best around HERE!"

If someone said that to me, I would love them even more through my tears of laughter. Especially if that someone was Dylan Moran. Title is from 'The Cream of Irish Comedy'.

General Blogging
Well, it seems like I've missed an entire month of blogging. If you can believe it, though, not a lot has been different from any other months, but here is a quick run down of things that have happened. I have:

-Saw Muse for the 4th time {they get better every time!}
-Applied for a ridiculous amount of jobs.
-Got 3 job interviews {one of which I still have to go to}
-Got new glasses
-Saw some movies; 'Legion', 'Shutter Island', 'The Bourne Supremacy', 'The Bourne Ultimatum', 'Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire', 'State of Play' and 'Rendition'.
-Managed to save quite a lot more money
-Had an acquaintance commit suicide
-Visited my friend in West Virginia

Pretty good, all in all.

Best band in the world.

Movie You Should Be Excited About:
'Legend of the Guardians'


Aside from the TOTALLY inappropriate trailer music, this movie looks GORGEOUS and I am so excited for it to come out.

Directed by: Zack Snyder
Starring: Hugo Weaving, Emilie de Ravin, Helen Mirren, David Wenham, Geoffrey Rush, Sam Neill, Jim Sturgess, Abbie Cornish and Ryan Kwanten.

Movie News:
'The Hobbit: Part 1' has two more actors in it, according to rumors; David Tennant is playing Bilbo Baggins, and Ron Perlman is playing Thorin Oakenshield. I personally wish that Simon Pegg was slated to play Bilbo {how awesome would that be?!}, but I love David Tennant, and I am definitely still seeing the film. Ron Perlman as Thorin is a pretty interesting casting choice, but I like him as well.

Actor News:
-David Schwimmer is engaged. I never thought I'd care that much about him to post something about it on here {or any of my blogs}, but there it is.

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

Directed and starring Clint Eastwood, this was an absolutely gorgeous movie. Surprisingly hilarious, if only because Clint Eastwood as an older man spewing racial slurs at random points is pretty hysterical. The movie has a good plot, though because a lot of the younger cast hadn't acted before, a lot of the delivery of the lines was kind of awkward. I wish I hadn't waited so long to see this, but I'm glad I finally did.

Grade: A-

Most Recent Book(s) I've Finished:
Blankets by Craig Thompson.

One of the most gorgeous and sad graphic novels I've read, and one of the quickest reads, too. Which you would not expect for a novel over 500 pages. I was able to read it in a little over an hour {while still absorbing it}, and enjoyed it immensely. If you're looking for a good graphic novel, I definitely recommend Blankets

The Song Currently Stuck In My Head:
Telephone feat. Beyoncé - Lady Gaga


My love for Lady Gaga continues to grow by the day. She's like Madonna and Gwen Stefani rolled into an awesome package of...well, fabulousness and fierceness. And I don't even like Madonna.

And can I just say that if Britney Spears had actually used this song {since Gaga wrote it for her}, it would have been fucking wasted. I like about 4 or 5 of Britney's songs, but she is nowhere near the "Princess/Queen of Pop". Especially now. It's safe to say Lady Gaga has far surpassed her, and she's younger than Britney, too!

Hot Guy Of the Day
Jason Sudeikis. I'm seeing 'The Bounty Hunter' on Friday, and I cannot wait.

He's absolutely adorable.

Quote of the Day
"Ah hah ha! Who was he? I know, one of those blue eyed guys with loads of teeth and hair and skin and all that modern shit. And he always looked as if he was on a boat. And he gave up his job in cybergenics to go and plant trees in some fuckin’ place. And he had *long* lashes and could quote huge chunks of Baudelaire as he stirred his cafe latte, and he wrote a whole load of books and never told you and you were doubly impressed because one day you found them in an airport. And, and he played lead cello in the Bulgarian orchestra and didn’t tell you until you’d spent an hour twanging around on your ratty fucking guitar looking for the first two chords of ‘Doo Doo Ran Ran’. And he was mysterious and everything. He couldn’t call ‘cause he was smuggling Cro-Crobian children across the border to get them to safety, using his fucking knowledge of missile tactics, and his inheritance and everything. And then he got involved in some underground documentary film group and was killed in a really tragic way for sedition. One of those guys, huh?!"- Dylan Moran

"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.

Grade: C

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.

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 :)

"Don't come down here while I'm eating my full English breakfast with extra breakfast and expect me to make things easier for you, okay?"

I want a full English breakfast with extra breakfast! Title is from 'Run Fatboy Run'.

The Day So Far

I just watched 'Run Fatboy Run' and it's making me really want to go to the gym. I can't wait until Mom gets home so I can do this.

Movie News- Mockery of the Week:

Now, I mean no disrespect to Johnny Depp, but dear god. Could he look more like a pedophile? I thought he had topped that with 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', but his role as the Mad Hatter soars far above that. It like, FLYS and swoops over the mountains under glorious rainbows with sparkles and flowers and unicorns flying around the Mad Hatter as he does this.

And that may be one of the weirdest images I've ever put in my head.

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

'Run Fatboy Run', directed by David Schwimmer and written by Michael Ian Black and Simon Pegg. A lot of movies I've watched recently have been ones I didn't see at the time, but this is one I was really looking forward to, and I'm glad I wasn't disappointed. Simon Pegg is one of the funniest actors out there today. His comedic timing was spot on and he plays a loveable schlub really well. Even though you could go into the movie hating him, since he leaves his pregnant fiance at the altar, you can't help but like him, even though he was an idiot for doing so.

Grade: A

Funny Picture(s) I've Found:
Someone should have shown this to Stephenie Meyer. Though I don't think even this could have made Twilight any better, since the woman can't fucking write.

The Song Currently Stuck In My Head:
'Right Round' by Flo Rida featuring Keasha. I never thought I'd love a rap song so much, and I blame 'The Hangover' for this since it was at the end of the movie and throughout. It's really really catchy and is currently my most played song on my iTunes.

Jackie Earle Haley:
This man can wear a suit like it's his JOB. And I think it should be a part time job for him since he does it so well. I have half a mind to talk to his agent about this possibility.
