absinthe_spoonsI just finished watching Black Hawk Down. It's Remembrance Day here and it was kinda topical, though I usually don't like watching so much violence no matter what the occasion. Still, if you're going to remember something so graphic, it always helps to remember with Bill Fichtner.
Also: "Good Lord, that man has white teeth. I knew there was a reason I like him."
Funniest part in the movie was when... well, it wasn't actually IN the movie, because it's not a funny movie, but after an hour and a half or so of people dying left and right, my mom had grown a little tired of all the dying, so she was going back and forth between the movie and the laundry. So onscreen, the main guys are creeping across a deserted street. It's all very tense, and then one guy falls, and my mom stops and goes "WOAH!" But the guy had just tripped on the curb, and kept right on going. Like this was the thing that really set my mom off, this guy tripping. It was hilarious. I immediately started to make fun of her.
"WOAH! WOAH NOW! NOW THAT IS NOT ON! HIS KNEE IS SCRAPED!"
"WOAH! THAT GUY WENT DOWN! AND THEN HE GOT UP AGAIN!"
Etcetera, I'm merciless.
And what gets me is the biggest flak this movie gets is for lack of characterization. I'd say they did what they could with what time they were given. There really wasn't a lot of time for it.
Amid roaring gunfire:
"BY THE WAY, I HAVE FATHER ISSUES!"
"I USE A NIGHTLIGHT WHEN I GO TO SLEEP!"
"THAT'S COOL, MAN! I HAVE AN IRRATIONAL FEAR OF DANCING IN PUBLIC!"
"GOOD STUFF, SERGEANT! NOW LET'S MOVE OUT!"
I seriously yelled like that for about an hour. It was fun.
Now, I may be biased, but I definitely think that William Fichtner's character (don't ask me his name, there was no time to learn names) was the most bad-ass motherfucker there. A close second would be that guy who may or may not have been Jason Isaacs. You know: Lucius Malfoy? I don't know, I thought he was British. I though that was, like, a rule of Harry Potter. Only British people allowed.
I should really be doing chemistry. I have to prep a lab for tomorrow.
Last Prison Break episode before January tomorrow. Can't wait, as my enthusiasm for Prison Break has been 100% rejuvenated by my discovery of the real Walgreens victim (I am definitely never shopping there again, btw. Too many bad associations.) Withdrawn Mahone attempting to testify will be humourous, and I love the interactions between him and Lang, always have.
No! Okay, must do homework now. I really, really must. Be going now, goodbye!

Date: 2007-11-12 04:52 am (UTC)Lmao, @ you yelling things @ the tv. I do that all the time and it almost always ends in a beat down by someone in my family.
Omg so excited for Prison Break, I can't wait. As for the Walgreens issue. I've never been inside there as we don't have one here in Australia. But I will never go in a pharmacy again, unless I am dying or something. But nothing less! & for the fact I will probably start giggling every time I go into one thinking of Mahone & T-Bag. Great, more people will think i'm mental!:)

Date: 2007-11-12 09:44 pm (UTC)Lol! I actually don't think there are any Walgreens here in Canada either. I think it may be a U.S.-exclusive chain. But I remember seeing a commercial for Walgreens on a U.S. channel, back when I thought Mahone was going to die, and I just went "Yeah, you know what? SHUDDUP, WALGREENS. Yeah."
... I should really find someone to talk to OTHER than the TV.
Lol, I can just picture you snickering and muttering under your breath while walking into a pharmacy. I swear, they will never fill out any prescriptions you bring. They will think you are medication-addicted, like Mahone.

Date: 2007-11-12 09:48 pm (UTC)LMFAO. Yeah it's like "GO DIE!"
TVs are fun to talk to. Just pause on Mahone start talking then press play. & then it will seem like you're having a conversation with him!
Lmao, pharmacy's aint cool no more. The Mahone thing spoiled it for me. Even though I hardly ever go into one. *STARES* lmao.
Omg PBREAK starts in US in 12 minutes.

Date: 2007-11-12 10:40 pm (UTC)I do have MSN... hopefully -- I mean, I haven't used it in ages.
I don't know if posting my MSN e-mail address (it only works for MSN) is the most advisable thing to do, but here you go: chocolate_frog_chick@yahoo.ca
Lol, it's from back when I loved Harry Potter.
YAY TATTOOS! I'd almost forgotten, thanks for reminding me.
Christ, now I'm REALLY not going to get anything done tonight... :D

Date: 2007-11-12 10:51 pm (UTC)I added you, it says two seperate accounts where added? Okay weird.
FUCKING TATTOOS! Omg lets just hope Whistler checks him out. Or T-Bag licks his lips, rolls his tongue and says, "HEY PRETTY!" that shit will fuck me up for the rest of my life. *dies*

Date: 2007-11-12 11:11 pm (UTC)I... don't know what's up with the two accounts thing. I am currently talking to you on MSN so I will shut up now.
