My 'still in the plastic' list of movies for tjournal

[linden_jay]

I have a... well, I don't know if it's a good habit or a bad habit, but if a movie is recced strongly enough for me by people I trust and I find it for a really good price, chances are I'm going to buy it, even if I've never seen it before. But sometimes even if they're sitting on my shelf, it takes me forever to actually just sit my ass down and watch them, so... this is my list of movies/TV shows that are actually in my house, and the boxes still have the plastic on them.

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

Does it help that at least I have good taste, for the most part, in the millions of DVD's I have that I haven't watched but are sitting right behind me?

[green-grrl.livejournal.com]

Classics classics classics that everybody must see!:
Bladerunner
Say Anything
Casablanca
Fargo
Snow White

But I would so rip the wrapper off and watch immediately:
(okay, Bladerunner here, too)
The Boondock Saints
Rushmore
Kingdom of Heaven
Latter Days

Also excellent:
Good Night and Good Luck
Munich
Toy Story 2

Hah! That narrows it down! ;-)

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

The Academic Husband keeps forgetting that I haven't seen Toy Story 2, and he's appalled every single time.

I can't believe I've not watched the KoH EE yet. It's absurd. But I just need 4 hours of undisturbed time where I'm not trying to multitask and I can just settle in and WATCH the whole thing (I've seen the theatrical a bunch of times... it's the EE that I need to watch).

Latter Days I saw recced not long ago, and I'm really curious about it.

[lady-adrian.livejournal.com]

Ok, X-Men United, a decent dose of crack-filled Garage Days and a delicious ending full of Hugh-goodness: Oklahoma! (BTW, SO jealous you have it and I don't!) And BTW:

xXx.

Lots of love, the sugar hyped-still awake at 6am Mutant!

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

Oh my word, GO TO SLEEP, sugar hyped one! *laughs* 6 am, that's like, pushing Jay-golden time!

And once my dvd drive is fixed, if I can find a way to burn Oklahoma for you, I'll send it your way--promise!

(No xXx! BAD! *hisses lots* Next you'll be trying to get me to watch Fast and the Furious or something.)

And my icon is commenting on your coffee icon.

[lady-adrian.livejournal.com]

Oh, come on! Ignore the coffee for a second and look at the shiny male!

And xXx GOOD! F&F sucks. Don't touch it. And I CAN'T sleep...eeeee...*is giggling madly*...I've been reading/conversing since 10pm...it's almost 7am on Sibling's birthday and he Return of Dad and Mel...

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

I've been told F&F is just the slashiest damned thing in like, ever. There's a you tube clip where they slash up the trailer, and I swear, it's not that much different from the original trailer, just different music.

I love that you've got a Colin thing... that's just awesome. You're gonna be strung out all day and just giddy.

[lady-adrian.livejournal.com]

*grins madly* it is my intention to sit here, annoy you, draw some, then annoy everyone else with my hyped-up ranting....:D

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

Well, it's always important to have goals *nods sagely*. What brought on the Colin renaissance?

[lady-adrian.livejournal.com]

Well...with father and stepmother away, I stole her Bridget Jones's Diary books. Then bought my own. Then bought DVDs. After much, MUCH thought (ok, several buckets later...:D ) I ended up with a thing. For Colin Firth. Hence shiny icons. :D

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

What about Pride and Prejudice? Have you seen that yet? I mean, if you've watched Bridget...

[lady-adrian.livejournal.com]

You think I'd pass up an opportunity to view more wet t-shirtedness?! Are you insane (or is that me, I can never remember...)?

I'm tempted to rent out What A Girl Wants. Seeing Colin air-guitaring in leather pants is SO worth enduring Amanda FUCKING Bynes....

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

Oh! You have to watch The Importance of Being Earnest, if you haven't already! He's so good in that one, and there's no Amanda Bynes!

I think we take turns being insane, but I can never quite remember properly...

[lady-adrian.livejournal.com]

OMG! *turns up music and plays soundtrack* He's an APPALLING singer! *giggles*

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

But he looks good in a pair of breeches.

[lady-adrian.livejournal.com]

Oh hell yes. As well as looking exceptional in a tux. :D

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

You've got it baaaaaad.

Is it terrible that the only Hugh thing I've still seen is him in X-Men one and two, and heard Boy From Oz, and seen him on the Tony awards?

[lady-adrian.livejournal.com]

Oh ;P!!!!


And yes. Extremely bad. Bad Jay, no biscuit.

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

Hey--I finally believed that you weren't making up the part about him singing, so that's something, isn't it?

I can't remember--did you see the new James Bond movie? Yes, I'm tangenting all over the place today... it's me, you should be used to it by now.

[lady-adrian.livejournal.com]

Hun, I'm so hyped I can actually keep up with you!

But no, haven't seen it. Any good?

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

See? Sleep deprivation=easier Jayspeak translation! There's no bad here!

Actually, it was awesome, and I'm not typically a Bond fan. Like... I've nothing against him/them or anything, I'm just not like whooo Bond! I saw Goldeneye, thought it was cool, then skipped the rest of the Brosnon films.

But yeah, it was good and fun and had me peeking through my hands, and Daniel Craig makes an awesome Bond. He's not someone you look at and go 'damn, HOT!', but when he's got the accent working with the attitude and the body and all? Damn. Sexy. Plus, it's the most recent movie I've seen in theatre since Pirates.

[lady-adrian.livejournal.com]

Cool...maybe will see it when it comes out on DVD. I wasn't a big fan of Bond, to be honest...I mean, I saw Goldeneye too (obvious reason, there), but apart from that, not interested.

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

Yeah-- like, I'd recommend it just as a good movie in general, not just as a Bond movie, which I was pretty pleased with.

And yeah, Goldeneye... mmm. Bean.

[lady-adrian.livejournal.com]

Yeh....lotsa Bean. Bad Bean. :D

*grins* I'm mean. Sibling just woke up and I called her an old hag (well, she called me grandma). She could tell I hadn't slept.

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

Bean with pretty SCARS! Mmm...

You are mean. Poor thing, getting all old and stuff and you're taunting her. Crazy not sleeping girl.

[lady-adrian.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm older! Just wait til I find the eggs....:D

And OMG Icon!Love.

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

Isn't it awesome? I giggle every time at that one.

You're not supposed to turn your sister into a meringue on her birthday!

[lady-adrian.livejournal.com]

That never stopped her doing it to me! *pout*

Besides, I think she ate all the eggs.

HOLY CRAP. You should just give Lost Season 1 to me :P I'll take it off your hands gladly so you won't have to worry yourself over having to watch it. Trust me. This is a really good idea.

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

HA!

You're a funny one, that's what I like about you.

I'll watch it sometime... maybe when the whole series is over and I don't have to worry about freaking over cliffhangers. I've got enough shows right now that do that to me *glares at Supernatural*.
