The Hangover 2

When the first Hangover came out, the trailer made it look like absolute shit, but the reviews were excellent. We were pleasantly surprised to find the reviews were right and it was hilarious.

However, Due Date was...meh, still funny but a little too destructive for my tastes that way.

So, I'm not sure what to think about this especially when one of my main motivations, Liam Neeson, got cut.

Camelot

So, I sort of had my reservations about Camelot before it premiered but it was Starz and it had pretty so I thought why not?

I even joined the LJ community because something with Merlin and Arthur can't be that bad?

Well, it's not bad but it's not really holding my attention either. There's too much politics and sex and not enough magic.

Also, it's unfair but I think I now expect all Arthur stories to have a slash dragon. It's just necessary.

Is anyone else feeling this way or does everyone else love it?

Thomas Jefferson

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure."

Thomas Jefferson
November 13, 1787

This is another reason why Strangers with Candy is such an awesome show. Because they misquoted this, I took the time to look it up.

New Toy Story Cartoon

Cars 2 will have a new Toy Story cartoon with it. Some of you have seen this preview but I'm not sure all of you have.

Queen Elizabeth the First

So, I just got done finishing Elizabeth: The Golden Age because of the free HBO Weekend. I've never seen it before despite Geoffrey Rush and Tom Hollander. I've also never seen the first one although I've seen bits and pieces. I can't seem to make it through the battle parts. Give me some sort of violent fantasy like Tarantino and I love it, but actual battles that real people fought? I get totally squeamish. I was forced to watch Saving Private Ryan though.

Anyway, this exchange caught my attention:

(they're talking about husbands)

Walsingham: I confine myself to the possible.

Queen Elizabeth: Well, that's where you and I differ, Walsingham, I find the impossible far more interesting.

Me: Impossible? You mean...like a TIME LORD?!

Day 12 - What’s your favorite scene from At World’s End?

Day 12 - What’s your favorite scene from At World’s End?

Swann's Song! Oh, it's so good. It hearkens back to that scene between Governor Swann and James in the first film and I love so of course...it had to go...

Day 13- Jack Sparrow or Will Turner?

Day 13- Jack Sparrow or Will Turner?

In jello wrestling?

Jack Sparrow would definitely win, but if it's which one would I rather make out with?

Will...you just never know where Jack's been or where he'll show up.
