Movies and stuff
Feb. 6th, 2009 10:45 pmWow, hey, let's pretend it's been less time since I last updated, okay? At least it's not a week.
I went to see Coraline today! It was absolutely full of awesome, and I plan to spend some of my still unused iTunes gift certificate money on the soundtrack ♥ (Here's the part where I do that Unpopular Opinion thing that I do sometimes, so you have been warned: I don't care much for Neil Gaiman's work on its own. When it's in conjunction with art or another writer (see: Good Omens), I've thus far loved it to bits. When it's just him writing, I just don't connect with it very well, I guess. I don't know why it is, I just know it is. And that's my Unpopular Opinion for today.) I'd also like to say that it was much creepier than I thought it would be for some reason, probably because of my aforementioned Unpopular Opinion. GO SEE IT GUYS, IT IS MADE OF WIN.
While at the mall, I picked up copies of Tin Man (which I've been meaning to get for a while, made of lamentable awesome that it is) and also Hayate X Blade volume two (which is out! \o\). I hope to delve into the latter before I sleep tonight. As to the former - who knows? Maybe while I do laundry tomorrow or something.
Still kinda wanna see Hotel For Dogs, because while it's definitely an inaccurate portrayal of what happens when you take a bunch of stray dogs in off the street and put them in a building together with no regard for individual personalities/needs/whatever (I've seen too much Animal Cops and the like - it's an addiction), it does look cute. It also appears to be at New Strand this week, so I might be able to go see it for much cheaper than the standard movie fare ♥
I also rather wanna see Slumdog Millionaire, because, well. I read the synopsis out of curiosity due to Airbender casting (gah) and it seems interesting and like a good excuse to familiarize myself with Patel's work, so. No more excuse needed, methinks.
Scribbles to go up on my Inksome at some point in the future, including a couple of seal-ish mermaids (which I think of as selkies, even though it's really not accurate, I'm sure) with more realistic body-types than one usually sees on females in the media these days. Current misinterpretations of BMI can bite my (reportedly well shaped) ass, and chew on my extra for dessert.
