St. Patrick's Wrap Up
Actual transcript of my phone conversation with baby sister Kel yesterday....
(Irish music playing at Kel's house)
KEL*singing* : Whiskey whiskey, dancin' whiskey...
ME *laughing uncontrollably*: Are you trying to sing Whiskey whiskey, Nancy, whiskey??!!!!
This is the same woman who thought Golden Earring's Radar Love was "red-eyed love" until my brother-in-alcohol corrected her.
I love my sister, she's one of the most entertaining people I know.
Went to see another showing of "300" earlier today. This time I did not spend my time drooling over beefcake. Actually did not stare at Mister Butler's thighs the entire time. The fight sequences are really amazing and I like the grainy/gritty quality of the film (very similar to the way Sin City looked but not as film noir-in a Maltese Falcon kinda way). It's refreshing to see heros with wrinkles, scars, bad breath, and grunge...a reminder that flawed heros are the best kind.
**SPOLIER ALERT-STOP READING HERE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE FILM**
My personal favorite scenes:
-when the Spartans are hunkered down defending the Hot Gates-Hoo Yah!!! (The first attack sequence-after the partial sinking of the Persian fleet-the "come and get it scene")
-the "stop action" fight sequences of Leonidas with the shield and pike, followed with an utterly graceful short sword work out
I think I'll go see Ghostrider tonight before the full impact of End of Quarter madness sets in and I become a blithering idiot. While snacking on pop corn I took note of some up coming films I'd like to see..
Pathfinder-because this girl can't get enough of men with swords hacking away at each other
The Reaping-I'm generally not a Hilary Swank fan but I have an affinity for apocalypse themed films (The Seventh Seal and Constantine are two of my favs). There's something about having faith and saving humankind that appeals to me.
Oh and the new Will Ferrell movie-the ice skating one-looks like complete nonsense and fluff-my kind of humor. Taladega Nights it just too damned funny for words!!
I've also been thinking about trying the on line dating thing again and I need some help from The Posse. Was wondering if y'all could e mail me with what you think are my best and worst traits-honesty would be deeply appreciated. I'm trying to write a profile and am having considerable difficulty being objective.
