Movie rec's, and meme.

[miserywhip]

voyeur meme.

comment and ask to see anything on my computer,
no matter what it is,
and I'll take a screencap of it and post it in my next update.


Also-


At work we get to pick Employee Pick movies that go up once a month, so I started thinking about it and I'm not too much of a movie person - so I'll run out of things to pick fairly quickly. IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS, LET ME KNOW. You can post movies you think I should see or movies you think I should use for my Employee Picks here - either one, or both. Just... Specify which you're leaving I guess.

And I'm going to make this entry public so that people can comment anonymously if they so choose. As long as comments stay on topic, I don't mind - and screening is as always, still enabled.

Ooohoooh, I'm into movies. Vantage Point is really interesting from a story telling perspective. Basically, there's an assassination attempt on a fictional US president at a fictional peace conference. The movie shows what happens by going through various different characters/groups perspectives one by one, and each one reveals another layer of what really happened and what happens next.

In a completely different vein, Drop Dead Gorgeous is one of my favorite comedies. It's about a teen beauty pageant at a small town high school and I find it completely hilarious.

Then another of my favorites is Chocolat, which is about a woman who makes and sells chocolate with her daughter who goes to a very old-fashioned repressed town in France and shocks them by being a ~single mother~ who ~doesn't go to church~ and isn't ashamed of being happy.

And anything by Pixar. :]

I don't really know if you'd like them, though, since I'm not really sure of your taste in movies. But those are some of my favorites, anyway.

Umm....and I'd like to see your desktop background, since I have no idea what it is.

(Almost) anything by Pixar + Drop Dead Gorgeous = A+. Vantage Point sounds interesting, I'll have to see if we have it.

I know it says 'next update' but I did this in a meme before, and my desktop hasn't changed since I first started using my mother's computer. Although I've cleaned up a bit since this last meme - the background picture is still the same.

As you can see I'm the most pleasant person alive.

As for this computer, I had a picture of Ed and Al I stole from my friend's deviantart, but it somehow got switched back the default plain blue within the past year. I don't know when or how that happened, since I remember turning it on and seeing the desktop still there when I was switching around monitors two years ago.

[deternot.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh, this is the first time I've ever ran into someone who has heard of Drop Dead Gorgeous. You win like 10 gold stars.

Aw, it's cute. You have so many desktop icons...

Now Ed, whenever technology does something inexplicable, the first explanation is obviously that it is magical. You should know this.

I actually went out and bought it when I worked in Dedham because it's one of those 'cult classic' movies that NO ONE WILL RENT but you have to have it, anyway.

I made someone watch it recently and he was ... Not amused, I was disappointed. I used to watch it somewhat frequently and we'd all quote it at one another while everyone else stared at us like we were nuts, because we were talking about tap shoes, exploding trailor parks and saying things like "She's anorexic, not deaf!"

Al crying over Ed's daad body = cute. Myst, you worry me.

My magical computer stole my desk top image. This is upsetting, because I really liked it. Especially the wings. Maybe I'll raid through his dA later for another one.

[deternot.livejournal.com]

I recently made my mom and sister watch it and we had to go to like five different rental places to find it because NOBODY HAS IT.

"And so, dear Lord, it is with deep sadness that we turn over to you this young woman, whose dream to ride on a giant swan resulted in her death. Maybe it is your way of telling us to buy American."

LOL I...didn't notice he was dead. I think I've been packing too much.

Maybe your computer just wanted the image for itself. It has needs too, you know.

[icarusxelric.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's the problem with movies like that. It's ridiculously difficult to find, but at the same time you have to have them. Generally if something doesn't rent it gets transferred to "Previously Viewed" sales. Which is where the movie was when I got the job originally. I didn't ... Realize what that meant at the time, but I restocked it again later and next thing I know we were closing alsdkfjas. I should see if we have it at West Roxbury, I haven't checked.

"You stop right there. You are a good person. Good things happen to good people."
"Really?"
"No. It's pure bullshit, sweetie. You're lucky as hell, so you might as well enjoy it."
"Okay."

a;lks; how did I miss that typo. Yeah, the name of the image is actually Muerto. Creative, no? Maybe you should take a break.

Yeah. It needed that Trojan removed is what it needed. I'm not sure if the picture disappeared before or after that, though.

Here, have some more death.

[deternot.livejournal.com]

I really want to own it. It's on my list of things to buy once I'm out in California. Hopefully that will go well!

"With one week to go before the pageant, I was finishing my outfit, rehearsing my talent, brushing up on current events, and running 18 miles a day on about 400 calories. I was ready."

To be fair, his eyes are covered. Al could have been crying because...idk because a kitten stubbed it's toe or something.

Trojan hates FMA, didn't you know? It's Bleach or nothing with Trojan.

Always with the death. I don't have any death icons so here, have Riza with a magnet.

[icarusxelric.livejournal.com]

I think I do, it's kind of a blur what wound up taken home as things started falling apart in that store, but now I'm not even sure.

"I am reaching the point where I would kill someone for the nicotine under their fingernails."

There is no being fair here, who do you think you're dealing with?

Ew, Bleach. I knew it was evil, but if it's teaming up with Trojans now I'm positive.

That strip is evil. It's almost as bad as the one that Al has leg hair.

'aaaaaaaaa' deserves a gold star.

[icarusxelric.livejournal.com]

Edit: Apparently it's a secrets post I never put up, from ... when I used to do that.

[procrasturbates.livejournal.com]

Undercover Brother. The Butterfly Effect. Girls, Interrupted. Moon Child. Zoolander. Yeah buddy, those are... the best movies in the world. No lie.

[icarusxelric.livejournal.com]

Girl, Interrupted was my favorite movie for like five years. I used to watch it nightly. And don't even get me started on The Butterfly Effect. That was the first Infinifilm I ever watched alone, and I sat through it four times in a row the first time I watched it, to get the most out of all of the Infini-features.

I never really got into Zoolander, but I haven't seen it from start to finish so I'll try that again sometime if we still carry it - and look into Moon Child and Undercover Brother.

Thanks Snook.

[procrasturbates.livejournal.com]

Ugh, yeah, those are two of the best movies of all time. In... my opinion. If you haven't seen Fight Club, either, I think it's a spectacular movie.

And... Zoolander and Undercover Brother are comedies, so they're not entirely serious as suggestions, but they are okay if you like humor in your movies too.

[icarusxelric.livejournal.com]

I've always been warned away from Fight Club because I'm such a delicate little snowflake, but maybe I'll try it out anyway.

I like comedies. I'm big on comedies as a secondary category though, action-comedy, drama-comedy, romantic-comedy; that sort of thing. My biggest problem right now is that all of my Employee Picks are ... Stupid little comedies. I picked Groundhog Day and The Mummy, and we apparently don't carry The Mummy, so I switched it for Rush Hour, because that's ... Also a comedy/action category movie. And I picked Disney's Holes, because that's a kids movie and I don't want all adult or all kids movies I want to switch it up a bit - but I tried to go with things that actors are current in. Brendan Fraser just had a new movie come out and Shia Lebouf has the new Transformers - so they seemed like logical picks.

Like, I'd prefer a Night At the Museum type story to a Zoolander type story - but my tastes are so random it's kind hard to pinpoint what exactly I like. It's like the sexuality conversation we had ... I'm like that with everything.

[tenaciously.livejournal.com]

I'm so bad for this I VOTE THE LION KING. SHORT CIRCUIT. AND SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS.

Does this mean you work near Chipolte's now?

[icarusxelric.livejournal.com]

Well the Lion King is an obvious pick. Seriously.

Practically anything Disney... and I'll have to see if we carry the other two. Short Circuit was just re-released about two years ago, I think - so we might have it.


And no, I don't work at MovieStop, I work at Blockbuster.
