Movies Move Me
Interesting article about the upcoming Narnia movie: Keep Your Foul Paws Off Aslan. Basically sums up my nervous anticipation/apprehension. Except for this line:
...the big Hollywood movie adaptation of the first chapter (well, technically the second) of the "Chronicles of Narnia"...
::grumbles about revised book order and spits bile everywhere::
Saw War of the Worlds yesterday. Very intense, cool beginning...after which it sort of fell apart. Still, it's worth seeing...just don't take your younger siblings or anything. There was a long line of summer camp kids waiting to go in as we left, and I could just see the tear-and-snot filled extravaganza that was going to be. This is definitely not a movie for kids.
Now that I'm in L.A., I officially need to see at least one movie a week. I think Dark Water'll be my next one. I can't believe it's directed by Walter Salles, a.k.a., I Directed The Motorcycle Diaries and Now I'm Doing a Ring Knock-Off Why? But I'm easy. I'll see it.
I'm also looking forward to...
Wedding Crashers - The Owen. The Vince. The Christopher. I'm there.
The Bad News Bears - Bad Santa made me think Billy Bob Thornton might be kinda hot. Shut up, I'm weird.
The Island - I didn't just say that. You can't prove anything.
The 40-Year-Old Virgin - Steve Carell!
The Skeleton Key - This will suck. But it has Peter Sarsgaard in it, so who cares.
I am so, so shallow.
What are y'all looking forward to?

I will watch "The Island" while intoxicated and will enjoy it.
What does the phrase "Han shot first", or in this case your icon, refer to? I don't recall him having a western style shoot-me-first competition. :)

"Han Shot First" has to do with the stupid changes George Lucas made to the first Star Wars movie to make it look like that, instead of Han just blowing Greedo away as he does in the original version, Greedo fired first and missed, thereby "justifying" Han's retaliation and his status as a good guy. I have a whole rant on it here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/girlwithjournal/146733.html).
