Guess WHAT I JUST saw?
...Okay, only A'mes has guessed it. Probably cause she caught me looking for piccies on net.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Kill Bill

, baby!!And yes, it did rock my socks. *reassumes poshness* I loved it. Absolutely completely loved it. Sister bought it for me (and herself, presumambly) on DVD.
And oh, its sooo good! *squirms* I just wish...I had seen it at the movies. Damn friends.
Ames: I would have gone to see it with you.
May: Yay. Me too.
Em: Yay.
Jen: Nay.
Ames: *snorts* Who wants Jen to come along anyway?
Ah Ames, always the sweetest, most blunt. You think I would hate her, but I don't because she's truly a darling. NOT like some other people I know. *winks*
Posting piccies, is fun. Back to Sims...I mean *cough* homework.

Current Music: Pete Yorn - Ever Fallen In Love (Is it me or is this all OST Shrek?)
Movie-marathon at moment. I've been watching movies non-stop. Sure, its burning brain-cells but I'm learning so much about directorial styles, cinematography and actor/ess nuances. It's mazing, man.
Got a call from a wizard who used to know Bilbo,
Said I couldn't stay home or a wraith would kill me.
Packed my bags, sold Bag End, dragged my gardener down the east road,
Now we've all been stood up by the wizard in Bree.
(to the tune: My life - Billy Joel)
Yet, atm I have watched such very sucky films or films that have disappointed me immensely.
Can't buy me love...which is some weird teenage eighties movie about some guy paying this girl to make him cool. Predictible. Tho, Seth Green as an obnoxious eight-year old was funny.
Blue Velvet...Weird. Fucking. Movie. Made by David Lynch (Mullholand Drive), so could understand weirdness and fucking weird sexual bits (squirms). Okay, not so bad as Requiem but c'mon. Everyone KNEW it was Dennis Hopper. Not looking forward to next Alias episode, knowing that Rosselini is going to be in it. (squirms again)
A.I....Cept for acting-wise, aka: Jude Law and an amazing performance that was overshadowed by the stupidly-stupid storyline, from Haley Joel Osment. Wah! Okay, this was sooo stupid. It was worse, hear me, WORSE than Bicentenial man. At least Robin Williams was funny. On the other hand, why was Robin williams in this movie? (Dr Who). Argh. *gives up* *stomps off*
The Musketeer...Shockingly, shocking stupid stuff. I wish Mena Suvari would die. Predictable hog-wash that tries to be funny, smart and cool. Lacks in all three. Who is Tim Roth? He was a cool cardinal. One good thing: The end fighting scene. Choreographed by some H.K. kung-fu guy. Yep, that's it. Lots of ladders and balancing acts. *nods* *moves on*
And finally...The Shining...Ah Stanley (Kubrick). I didn't understand Space Odyssey, was shocked and even more confused by Clockwork Orange but the Shining just pissed me off. Well go Kubrick for great direction (love the shot when Nicholson is pleading with his wife to let him out and of course the 'here's JOHNNY' bit). Great. HOWEVER, they completely ruined King's story. COMPLETELY! Messed it up! THAT WAS NOT HOW IT ENDED! Am so pissed. Danny s'posed to take Jack into the attic and do his whole 'tony' and 'shining' thing. And then the thing blows up the end, and Danny kills him with the roque mallet...and the black guy DOESN'T DIE! Wah!! Jack doesn't die in the snow...after...getting...very...tired.
That was stupid. Stupid. Remind me never to watch those movies again. *Goes off to watch 'White Teeth' and toob*

Its my holidays! WOOO HOO! And I really have nothing better to do...than update.
From: JoBlo
An interview from everybody's favourite little fat mayor (Chocolat). Just an interesting snippet (not about Spiderman).
Did you have any trepidation about making out with a guy in Prick Up Your Ears?
I’ve always been more nervous about having sex with a woman on film and I think, speaking as an enthusiastic heterosexual, I think it’s because, if you’re a straight guy making out with a guy, it really is acting and there’s no chance that you’re suddenly going to find yourself embarrassingly aroused whereas if you ‘re a straight man and you’ve got to do a love scene with some gorgeous actress, there’s always the possibility that you know, you start, it’s like you know, little Fred Jr. suddenly gets a bit warmed up, you know.
Has that ever happened to you?
It’s never, it’s actually never happened. I’m merely speaking hypothetically of a possibility whereas man on man action would not excite me at all. And also, it’s-- I was playing a character, but Gary Oldman’s a good kisser by the way. Just by the by.
~ Next... ~
Wow. Christian Bale is so grown up and oldy-looking...if you saw him in 'Little Women' last night and in today's Batman pictures, he looks so...well, different. *meep* I loved him in Little Women. Possible because he was 'Laurie', but then again.
One of my favourite Friends quotes stem from that book:
Joey: (Reading Little Women) Jo just said 'no' (marriage) to Laurie. I don't know how he can say that(meaning Jo).
Chandler: (rolling his eyes at Ross) Jo is a guy, short for Josphine.
Joey: You mean, its like a girl-on-girl thing because that's the one thing that 'the shining' doesn't have.
Chandler: No, Laurie is a guy! (exapserated)
Joey: (confused, flips to the beginning) No wonder Rachel had to read it so many times!
~ Next... ~
Other news, well actually BIG, I got sick of reading "White Teeth", don't tell Sue although I think she could tell (I read the Autograph Man during it) and borrowed the BBC series of "White Teeth" from the library. Let me tell you it was bloody wicked, British-speak. I would say something 'Chalfenistic' to be wickedly cute and witty but I cannae be bothered (Malfen in series). Anyway, its inspired me to actually read the book. Also reading, Libba Brays "A Great and Terrible Beauty" which was recommended by Cassie Claire. It is terribly wonderful. Not a mind-fuck like Kaufman or warm-huggable-yet-philosophical like Z.Smith, however its magical, sweet and very non-cliched. And both hotties in book and series are Indian. Ooohhhhh!cuties! Ames agrees, thank god. She's read it too, before I did but she still has to see 'White Teeth', not a big reader, that girl.
Trying to get pictures...argh, the offical pictures suck on the site. Oooh, the guy who plays Magid plays Millet (right spelling?), well there are two completely, positively opposite characters. Well here you go. Check out the site if you want to know more. Heh. It was sponsored by Dad's company, the "Exxon/Mobil" Masterpiece Theatre. Hee.
Ta. Post more soon out of my life!stories but work to do, and updation to my site. ANd better EXPRESSION, Melissa. Express thy-self!!! Muahahahahaha...

Have just hit jackpot.
LOADS AND LOADS OF P&P icons. WAHHH!!!
Is this creepy but I can actually place where and in when each icon is from? I have watched that thing way too many times. *whines*
Oh...I watched Vanity Fair on the weekend. Becky is soo pretty. Goregous little minx!!! Yet, Lizzie and Mr. D still the best.
Hee, there's a Shane West icon from "A walk to Remember" that I want to write on 'I am angry and very gay'. Hee hee. Damn, where is Em when I need her? Aww, Dakota Fanning is such a cutie.
Oooh! Tuck Everlasting icons. No wait, this is becoming a running commentary...oh fuck it. TE icons! I never thought I'd be excited about TE. But hey, shit happens.
Omg, what is with this? Also Nicholas Nickelby icons (which we got today for free!) Woo ho! Jackpot. But I hated that movie. stupid anne hataway and Billy elliot. Ruined it all for me. But most of all...where was it that Nick was BLONDE? *coughs hackingly*

Current Music: Eels - I need some sleep
Anything to rouse me *giggles* out of my sombre mood. Is it somber or sombre? Nm. Who's up to it? Well Molly's niggles (Gently he stripped off Frodo's old jacket and worn tunic, and gave a gasp of wonder. - Pervy, Pervy hobbit lines from Tolkien taken way way way out of context!) and Ames and Mary complaining which have been doing the trick for the past ten minutes, the only time I've been on this weekend except for very early friday night between the likes of 6 to 6:30 in which I was hopping mad to see Shrek 2.
Pooie, I didn't go see it today. But hw to do and well other things have been occupying my mind, along with the other voices. So yes...I did want to see it though. That there is a great movie, I've checked up on all the references and I got EACH and EVERY ONE: does that make me a movie!buff or a movie!nerd? I hope the former.
References: From Here to Eternity(a personal non-favourite), LOTR, Aliens, E.T., Larry King (hee!), Bob Barker(I even got this one, that's a bit sad!), MI, Godzilla, Ghostbusters, The Mermaid (and other assorted Disney), All that Hollywood crap, the ironic JT-CD thing, Spiderman(woo!) etc. Oh and I guessed he was a frog as soon as the other little frog said: "Don't I know you?" and I was like click and mum had to elbow me to shut me up.
Did I mention I also love the soundtrack? ANNNNDDD...Jen. Saunders sings all her own songs. How positively cool-a-mundo! (Am so in Fonzie moood, thanks to Ames)
Saw the new clip for "Blade" thanks to Jo-Blo and Ames. Looks cool, cept for the Biel-chick who despite, according to Jo-Blo, "Has the nicest looking ass", I expect has a terrible acting ability. Oh get Beckinsale.
Wah, did I tell you mum and dad went to see HP instead of Te Tois? I didn't know whether to be pissed off for seeing HP without me or for just seeing HP instead of Te Tois...so...well...okay, I don't know. Wah-ah.
God, I love that song Hold out for a Hero. Its so over-the-top, Sailor Moonish but fantastically great. (Song at the end of Shrek 2, where he's trying to get in the castle. Btw, where did they get all that milk from to pour on the muffin man's Gingerbread Man?)
We haven't had a convo in a while, maybe nothing per interesting. Well actually, that's not true.
Me: *sings* I need a hero...a hero...not a gay hero...but a hero...
Ames: ODG (Aka: Oh dear god), shut up Mel!
Me:*chorus of gospel singers* I got fire in my blood! (x4)
Ames: Oh f*k me.
Mary: Ames, no swearing but Mel, shut up!
Me: *violin music-pause*
Mary & Ames: Oh thank god!
Me: *again* I NEED A HERO! Hero till the morning light...gotta be larger than life...HERO!
Ames: AHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Me: And scene!! ^_^
Mary: *throttles*
Ames: I hold her down!
All rightey. Nightey-nightey, children. Shit to deal with...and work. ^_^

Well, I've finally achieved a very long late night convo with my!bestest dears, Em, Ames and Mary. Mary has sent me two of the lost trailers. They look good. Plus Dom Monahan is in it (Merry from LOTR). I think I mentioned this previously. WhoO! He finally has work. Btw, did I mention that Zach Braff is like directing/writing/producing and starring in this movie called Gardenstate. I really want to see it. Pooie! *zooms off to Egberts*
Meanwhile, Em's sent me this uproarious, hilarious 15 minute version of Troy. Omg! It is so funny! There's also a Van Helsing one. I'll post my fav bits from them. BRB...in LESS than 15.

Some Voiceover
ODYSSEUS: If there's one thing we Greek heroes hope, it's that you remember us.
AUDIENCE: EEEE!! IT'S BOROMIR! SQUEEEE! HI, BOROMIR!
ODYSSEUS: ...That's not exactly what I meant.
ACHILLES: IS THERE NO ONE ELSE?
THESSALIAN ARMY: *averts eyes, kicks dirt*
HELEN [weepy]: I can't wear it because I'm sort of already married to that other guy but we've been doing the royal nasty for a week already anyway and you're going to leave tomorrow and WAHHHHH.
PARIS: You could stow away and come with me and start a war that will end up killing 90% of the cast and totally be the downfall of my people and my kingdom!
HELEN: *sniff* I think… that's the sweetest thing anyone's ever said to me.
HECTOR: Have you ever killed anyone?
PARIS: No.
HECTOR: Have you ever thought about killing anyone?
PARIS: No.
HECTOR: Do you even know which hand the sword goes in?
PARIS: . . .
HECTOR: *facepalm*
THETIS: Well, if you stay here, you'll have a wonderful life with a wonderful wife and tons of kids, and they'll all remember your fabulousness.
ACHILLES: Score!
THETIS: But then, after they're all dead, you'll be completely forgotten.
ACHILLES: Next option.
THETIS: If you go to Troy, you will never come home because your glory is tied to your doom, but you will be remembered forever and ever and ever. Is that what you want?
ACHILLES: Hmmm. We've established that I'm a complete famewhore, so the word I am looking for here is... YES.
EUDORUS: It's the Trojan prince! Let's kill him!
ACHILLES: Let him go.
EUDORUS: Why? If we kill him now…
ACHILLES: ...there won't be a movie, so let him go.
Outside Greek-Camp-by-the-Sea, Dawn
HECTOR: RELEASE THE ARROWS OF FLAME!
FLAMING ARROWS: *cover the beach*
HECTOR: UNLEASH THE GIANT BALLS OF TWINE!
GIANT BALLS OF TWINE: *tumble down hill*
GREEKS: Giant flaming balls of twine! Run for your lives!!
Palace Backyard, Troy
Paris is practicing archery on a nice straw man nailed up to the wall. He hits bull's-eye after bull's-eye.
HELEN: Wow, I had no idea you were so good at this.
PARIS: Neither did I. Weird, isn't it? And I really want lembas now.
HELEN: What?
ACHILLES: HECTORRRRRRRR!
HECTOR: *puts on his armor slowly and dramatically*
ACHILLES: HECTORRRRRRRR!
HECTOR: *reads the paper, gets a shoeshine*
ACHILLES: HECTORRRRRRRR!
HECTOR: I'm here, I'm here!
PARIS: *shoots Achilles in the heel*
BRISEIS: NOOOOOO!
PARIS: *gets his Legolas on, shoots Achilles 15 more times*
BRISEIS: PARIS, NOOOOOOOOOO!
PARIS: OH MY GOD, I FINALLY DO SOMETHING GOOD AND PEOPLE STILL YELL AT ME!
ACHILLES: Briseis, it's okay. Go with Paris. In the middle of war, you gave me peace. Or sex. Or something. It was real, yo.
Tragic Scene of Flaming Funeral
Odysseus torches Achilles' body while all the Greeks stand in the burnt-out ruins of Troy and watch.
ODYSSEUS: My brother...my captain...my-
SOME GREEK: Pssst! Wrong movie!
ODYSSEUS: Shit, sorry about that.
OUR LADY OF SOUNDTRACK SORROW: WOOOOOHHHHHOOOOOHHHHH!
ODYSSEUS: So, please remember all the Greek heroes, because that’s what we died for. Not for greed or lust or hubris, but so that people would remember… our greed, and our lust, and our hubris. And, in conclusion: Cousins. They were totally cousins.

~ Van Helsing ~
Valerious Manor, East Budafuck
CARL: Hugh Jackman's running around in leather and tight pants, and I'm the one who gets laid?
MUSIC: Dundundundundundundun DUN DUH! DUN DUH!! DUN DUH DUN DUH DUN DUHHHH!!!!
The vampire chicks save the carriage, except that the brunette one isn't strong enough and flies away, and the redhead chick is totally gutted by a stake bomb inside when it hits the ground, because it was... wait, what?
MUSIC: Dundundundundundundun DUN DUH! DUN DUH!! DUN DUH DUN DUH DUN DUHHHH!!!!
Other Side of East Budafuck
Van Helsing and his horses meet up with Anna and the real carriage with Carl and the Creature. Or something. And then Velkanwolf catches up with them. Or something. And then the roof of the carriage catches on fire. Or something.
VELKANWOLF: I KEEL YOU, BIATCH!
VAN HELSING: I spin around atop a moving, burning carriage and shoot at you in Matrix slo-mo!
VELKANWOLF: *dies*
ANNA: YOU KILLED MY BROTHER! YOU BASTARD!
VAN HELSING: Look, I thought we settled this! Bunch of pixels!
ANNA: Oh, my God! Velkanwolf bit you!
VAN HELSING: Oh, fuck.
Roxula's Halloween Party
Everyone is masked. Cirque du Soleil is bendy. Carl is dressed like a jester, and Van Helsing is dressed like an acrobat, because that's all Fine Costume Rentals of Buchapest had left.
SOME VAMPIRE: So we're not really trading the princess?
ROXULA: What, do I look stupid?
Igor paddles away with the Creature in tow. Our heroes doggy-paddle in a moat behind a gate, hanging onto Anna's couture gown/flotation device.
VAN HELSING: We're coming to save you! We'll rescue you!
THE CREATURE: Whatever, asshole.
The scrap does unlock the door, which turns into a mirror, which turns into a portal, which leads to...
ANNA: My God! It's a matte painting!
MUSIC: Dundundundundundundun DUN DUH! DUN DUH!! DUN DUH DUN DUH DUN DUHHHH!!!!
HELSINGWOLF: *claws go snick*
ROXULA: NO FAIR STEALING FROM OTHER MOVIES!
HELSINGWOLF: Dude, this whole movie is stolen from other movies.
ROXULA: Wait! Stop! We could be friends! I could tell you all the stuff you've forgotten!
HELSINGWOLF: Like what?
ROXULA: Like the time you bit my finger off and took my ring!
HELSINGWOLF: Dude, what are you even talking about?
ROXULA: . . .
Helsingwolf chomps on Roxula and kills him. Anna races in with the antidote syringe, but Helsingwolf throws her on a nearby velvet sofa, the staple of every mad scientist's laboratory--
CARL: Hey! I know you're jealous that I got some, but this is no time for--
--and jumps on her. Slowly he backs away, empty syringe sticking out of his perfect, furry abs. But woe! Anna lies dead on the sofa.
CARL: Oh my God! You... you smushed her to death!*
Helsingwolf picks up Dead Anna, throws back his head, and emits a brokenhearted AROOOOOOOOOOO as he changes back to a half-naked man. Anna remains dead from smush.
They burn Anna's body. Up in the sky, the Valerious family is reunited in wispy cloud formations. The wind is heard to whisper, Mufaaaaaaaasa...
VAN HELSING (tearful): She was the only woman who ever liked killing things as much as I do.
CARL: Don't worry. We'll go down to the pound and pick you out a nice new love interest for the sequel.
MUSIC: Dundundundundundundun DUN DUH! DUN DUH!! DUN DUH DUN DUH DUN DUHHHH!!!!

Well I didn't even finish my last post. How great! I guess I just don't have the energy for a long ramble.
Today, I pretty much did nothing. I watched loads of movies, talked to Em a little on the phone (she was bored as I was!), planned a little more of my evil, cunning, twiddle plan, ate nothing, worked on my tok essay and finished spring-cleaning/reorganising my room. So okay, I did stuff. But it wasn't like 'lion-taming' or anything. Rawr.
Now am listening to Coral - Dreaming of You
Up here in my lonely room
When I'm dreaming of you
OH what can I do?
I still need you
But I don't want you now
Dododododododododo! *hums to trumpet* Great song. So catchy. HANDS ARE TIED!...Can't disguise...lalalala Okay, that's enough of that. Today, I also managed to squeeze in amongst all of the above, The Devil's Advocate and that Charlies the Second thing that was recently on the ABC.
Thoughts? Well, with the Devils Advocate, it was like a rerun of Sweet November(because it involved romantic crisis between Neo and a Monster - okay nobody is going to get that, Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron) and the Ninth Gate. It was good, not so nice, reanactment of that old fable of the coming of the anti-christ. Personally, I like Gabriel Byrne better although kudos (or PROPS as that idol guy would say) to Al Pacino, is of course a revered Godfather actor. I personally love this line:
Kevin Lomax: "Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven", is that it?
John Milton: Why not? I'm here on the ground with my nose in it since the whole thing began. I've nurtured every sensation man's been inspired to have. I cared about what he wanted and I never judged him. Why? Because I never rejected him, in spite of all his imperfections. I'm a fan of man. I'm a humanist. Maybe the last humanist.
There are loads of good quotes. I'll post them later but that one just niched itself into my skull.
As for that Charles: The Power and the Passion thing...well, other than there being no-eye-candy and a lot of very pretty ladies (with the excuse of Montemaine or whateva), it was good. Not Forsythe Saga good (which was hooked on since the moment it began) but good. Do you know it cost 10 mil to make? Right. (Into my italics today!) Well it had Rufus Sewell (Dark City) who was good as the king but nobody can play a king better than Mel Brooks (Quote: Its good to be the king! - History of the World). Anyway, it also enlisted, which had me hitting my head against the wall, Rupert Graves FROM the Forsythe Saga, in which he played a doddling best friend of the King who did things in that series which upset the image of his character in said saga. Ahh...the depravity of history. Also, Christian Coulson, who I only learned the name of today, who is also from Forsythe Saga (he plays Rupert Graves/Julian's son who dies in the war when he joins up with Jolly) and more famously, he plays Tom Riddle, from the great and well-known Harry Potter and the Chambre of Secrets. Just weird, man. And since we're on the subject of HP, in that same movie, the girl who plays Moaning Myrtle, plays that Portugese princess who marries Charles and who I ended up loving except for her bat hair. Well there were more...and I THINK, I'm only guessing that I saw Sean Biggerstaff in the beginning but I'm not sure. So yes...all in all, a good show. Great cast, great clothes. I especially loved all his mistresses, I don't have a personal favourites, perhaps the last one, the very pretty French one who as told by the queen, "To be the one woman that the king has desired and never had...an affectionate mother." That in itself, was a great life and shows despite the language barrier, how perceptive she really was. The first mistress was extremely discerning, between the scabrous, scheming little monster who in the end was tossed aside (having also slept with the king's bastard son (Coulson) and best friend (Graves)) for a "actress" as she so derisively insults. She looked a little Mary Queen of Scots as she left, but I was almost cheering in triumph as she left, and at her last humiliation when the queen came in and watched her go. Yay! Surprising indeed. Yet, I tire of the Stuarts. I wish they would do other cultures...Vikings, Norway, Arabia, India (China's sooo overdone!) etc. Meh. 7/10 I give it.
Well I think that's enough. See if I can go find some quotes now.
~ The Devil's Advocate ~ (I'm going to go look that word up!...Ah! It means lawyer. or supporter of defender! How perfect!)
John Milton: A woman's shoulders are the front lines of her mystique, and her neck, if she's alive, has all the mystery of a border town. A no-man's land in that battle between the mind and the body.
John Milton: Who, in their right mind Kevin, could possibly deny the twentieth century was entirely mine
John Milton: Don't get too cocky my boy. No matter how good you are don't ever let them see you coming. That's the gaffe my friend. You gotta keep yourself small. Innocuous. Be the little guy. You know, the nerd... the leper... shit-kickin' surfer. Look at me.
[stops and pauses]
John Milton: Underestimated from day one. You'd never think I was a master of the universe, now would ya?
John Milton: Let me give you a little inside information about God. God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts. He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does He do, I swear for His own amusement, his own private, cosmic gag reel, He sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, don't swallow. Ahaha. And while you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' His sick, fuckin' ass off. He's a tight-ass. He's a sadist. He's an absentee landlord. Worship that? Never
Kevin Lomax: What about love?
John Milton: Overrated. Biochemically no different than eating large quantities of chocolate
John Milton: Vanity, definitely my favorite sin
John Milton: You sharpen the human appetite to the point where it can split atoms with its desire; you build egos the size of cathedrals; fiber-optically connect the world to every eager impulse; grease even the dullest dreams with these dollar-green, gold-plated fantasies, until every human becomes an aspiring emperor, becomes his own God... and where can you go from there?
John Milton: Free will, it is a bitch
John Milton: Free will. It's like butterfly wings: once touched, they never get off the ground. No, I only set the stage. You pull your own strings.
Kevin Lomax: What are you?
John Milton: Oh, I have so many names...
<strong>Kevin Lomax: Satan.
John Milton: Call me Dad
Alice Lomax: Behold I send you out as sheep amidst the wolves
Kevin Lomax: Lose? I don't lose! I win! I'm a lawyer, that's my job, that's what I do!
John Milton: I rest my case.
John Milton: What about you? Your family, you gotta miss 'em.
[Mary Ann shakes her head no]
John Milton: No?
Mary Ann Lomax: I told Kevin the only thing worse than not having a father was having mine.
John Milton: I can relate. I can, believe me.
(Note: Having read Paradise Lost, I feel obliged to tell you that having Satan named after John Milton was both ironic and strange. John Milton wrote Paradise lost which was second to the bible, about how Satan fell from heaven and thus the war between the angels and also the birth of Adam and Eve. So you can see how this does fit into the storyline of the Devil's Advocate. Milton too felt that he was a fallen man.)
