froodleOh dudes, I am watching the Buffy movie for the first time in like, ten years (seriously, the last time I watched it I still lived at home and it was on TV) and it's so random and campy and beautiful and it's totally making me want to watch the TV series again even though I just watched all of it* like a month ago. Like when they're interviewing kids at the end and that one guy is all, "They had fangs and they were biting people and their eyes were totally dead - I think they were Young Republicans" and that part where Buffy steals the dude's bike and he's like, "Skank! You're a dyke! I'm going to tell the world!" or the fact that her friends are totally Heathers and the one guy who is still dying even after the end credits and it's so beautiful.
Also, this massive spider just ran across my floor and I was so busy giggling about the Buffy movie that I dropped a book on it before I even had a chance to freak out. Yes, it is that good!
Also I watched Interview with the Vampire today and oh my God, how much is the making of Claudia like, the vampire equivilent of deliberately getting knocked up in order to trap a dude into a relationship? She's like a three foot high walking piece of emotional blackmail. Andandand that bit where she tells Louis that she wants to leave and he's all whiny and like, "No that will never happen MY LIFE IS MISERY AND DESPAIR!" and she makes this awesome "get over yourself" face that makes me laugh and which is made even funnier by the fact that she's like seven years old, and that bit where she tells Lestat she has a present for him and he's all, "Then I hope it's a hot babe with boobies which you will never have!" and I'm like OH TOTAL BURN because nothing is worse than the "you'll never be a wo/man!" burn (see also: Kenny from Highlander or Peter Pan in that awesome movie where Jason Isaacs was Hook).
ALSO! Snithy, you should totally have let me show you Bully this weekend - it had male strippers, but they were young and sleek and, if not actually attractive, at least not eye-gougingly hideous and Clivelike. Also, naked Nick Stahl! Being naked and totally mean and punching people for no good reason! Nick Stahl is surely one of the most under-rated beautiful men of our time.
Then again, Bully was actually good so you probably would have had an allergic reaction to it seeing as you only like things that suck in the not-good way, Mrs "Carnivale and OUATIM and the 4400 are crap oh wait let me watch two seasons of the Lair and give us both brain damage!"
Man, you know that fuckwad who created Kidulthood, and all those other even bigger fuckwads who went on about how great it was, when in fact it was a shitty movie about a bunch of dumbass chavs doing dumbass chav things and not getting sterilized and/or shot down like rabid dogs which is really what needed to happen, both in the film and in real life? It would be so great if Larry Clark could give those people lessons in how to make movies about young people that are dark and true and also don't totally fucking suck.
*And by "all of it", what I actually mean is "the first three seasons because I try to pretend everything after Graduation Day didn't happen."

Date: 2009-09-06 10:27 pm (UTC)You should! Then make mocky posts about it so that we can mock it more! Like how Brad Pitt makes a completely stupid face in that bit where Lestat comes back from the swamp and Louis sets him on fire (seriously, do you remember the photoshopped picture of Batbale doing the "do not want" face that was going around when TDK came out? It was that exact face!) or how mean Lestat is when they're at the plantation and he's bitching about how Louis not eating will totally give the game away, but every time Thandie Newton comes in he's like OH BY THE WAY WE ARE TOTALLY VAMPIRES AND PROBABLY I'M GOING TO EAT YOU LATER! And then Thandie Newton and Louis are like OH MY GOD YOU ARE SO MEAN! and Lestat is like FUCK YOU ALL NOW I'M GOING TO RIDE MY HORSE IN A REALLY MEAN AND SCARY WAY! RARGH! And then Thandie Newton's all like, dude, your friend is a total jackass, and Louis is like, I know! *single manly tear*

Date: 2009-09-07 08:13 pm (UTC)Wow, you just made me imagine how much better IWTV would have been with mudkips! Like, instead of offering him a random boywhore, Armand could have offered Louis a bite of a delicious mudkip! Or instead of bringing Claudia home, Lestat brings home an entire box full of mudkips, and then the rest of the movie is just Louis trying and fsiling to control an army of unruly mudkips!
Armand is the king of the goodbye kiss-psych. It's actually his vampire power. He couldn't do it when he was mortal (and ginger, and seventeen, and from Rome).
