Random Gift Day

So not only did I get a great CD from heres_luck, which I am having all sorts of deep thoughts and vid-type ideas about, but I came home yesterday and there was more mail for me. And not bills. It was a DVD of "Lethal Weapon II." I seriously heart renenet. I never get presents outside of my birthday and Christmas. I'm not whining, it is fact. I'm the gift-giver around here, which is how I like it. Man, oh man, it is really cool to receive sometimes. I've got perma-grin. I drove Dawn nuts cause I had LWII on repeat all night long. Hee.

How lazy is it that I am now considering purchasing one of those multiple DVD player so I can have "Lethal Weapon I and II" and "In the Dark" and "Lover's Walk" all on at the same time and I can then lay down on the couch and have them play and not have to get up? That way I could snooze and possibly dream about the Spike-Angel-Lethal-Weapon-Connection with a background of Spike and Angel and Lethal Weapon. Also - the computer DVD-player? Sooo installing it this weekend. I need screencaps and I should really rip both movies...

Sudden Thought...

Does anyone else get an Angel/Spike vibe off Alice in Chains? Maybe I should take a shower and leave the house already...but "Would" - Hmmm...

Movies and Other Stuff...

So today I finished things and saw things and thought very deep thoughts about Wolverine and... well pretty much just Wolverine.


So I took the boy and J. to the see X2 today. I was ruined for the movie (okay not really) by the "Matrix:Reloaded" trailer. I could have just watched that on a loop for 2 hours. I'm easy with the trailers though. I like 'em all. That movie with Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett, "Hollywood Homicide" - looks frickin' brilliant in the trailer. "The League of Extraordinary Gentleman" - damn Sean Connery is still kinda got a little something.

So the movie was great, but what I remember most was squealing, "Omigod! That's Methos!" in a crowded and hushed theater (poor J. - I always embarrass him). And then I started freaking out (albeit silently) that Methos is not only an Immortal but also a Mutant. I think maybe the mutant thing could actually explain the Immortal thing. After my mind slowed down to coherant levels I realized that Methos had not suddenly walked into the movie, but rather the actor that plays Methos was appearing in this movie as a totally different character.

This was just like that time Cappy talked me into taking her to see "House On Haunted Hill" and we freaked out when we saw the camera man. Except X2 did not suck ass other than that. And I really should not have let Cappy see that movie when she was just 12. Really a bad call on my part.

I watched 8 Mile tonight and really enjoyed it. I know I have put off watching it cause of ex-boyfriend issues - but I sooo was not the Brittany Murphy character. I was no character in that movie. If I had been in that movie, I would have stuck out like a sore thumb. In fact, in real life, I did stick out, not fit in, and in general just kinda was there. I still have no idea how I was there, but I was there.

Dawn feels that they cut the end scenes completely wrong to "Lose Yourself" - I think she is just feeling post vid let-down. I'm in the post vid funk - where I don't want to start anything new, I don't have that kind of energy. Maybe I should work on the "Lose Yourself" Crichton vid - it is practically finished... Or "Ask DNA" - that has just been gathering dust as well...
