OH GOD I love that Peter Pan movie! I mean, I was already aware of this fact since it's shelved on the top lefthand side of my DVD collection, which is where I stack my most-loved stuff for easy acess, but I just watched it again and it's like ALL OF MY LIFE I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO GET ENOUGH DISTANCE ON THIS FILM SO THAT I CAN WATCH IT AGAIN AND HAVE ALL OF MY LOVE COME FLOODING BACK TO ME!

Jeremy Sumpter is so awesome, you guys. I sometimes totally forget about him because I am too busy admiring the wonderfulness of Jason Isaacs, but he is a fucking amazing actor. That bit right at the end where Hook lets the crocodile eat him, and as he resigns himself to his fate there's a shot of Peter closing his eyes and saluting with his sword, and it is magnificent and wonderful and just so great I have no words!

What happened to Jeremy Sumpter, anyway? I kind of assumed he would go on to be in like eight million things after Peter Pan, but I never saw him again. Has anyone else seen him in something other than Peter Pan? I demand to know why he is not currently improving the quality of the many TV shows I watch by appearing in them and actually portraying emotion and stuff. Shame on you, Jeremy Sumpter, you'd better not be fucking dead or appearing on reality TV or something else hideous and awful!

Also, I saw the trailer for the new Sherlock Holmes movie, and apart from inexplicable Rocky Horror!Downey Junior, it looked pretty good. I normally want to kill Jude Law, but RDJ has this weird super-power where he makes normally unbearable people slightly tolerable by his presence - see also Gweneth Paltrow in the Iron Man movies.

One more thing that I completely love that has nothing to do with the rest of this post - that bit in Twin Peaks where those Swedish dudes come to stay at the Great Northern and they make loads of noise and wake Cooper up, and he's super pissy and ranting into his little dictaphone thing to Diane about it and after he asks for her to send him earplugs, he's like "I didn't expect to need them on this trip, but as you can hear..." and he holds the recorder up in complete silence for a few seconds to record the noise and then he clicks it off in this really definitive, "so there!" kind of way, and all the way through the scene he has this AWESOMELY grumpy face on him and it's BRILLIANT.

I just wanted to share that with you all. I love Agent Cooper's grumpy face. One day I hope my grumpy face can reach such heights of grumpiness. It is unlikely, but still something to strive for.

I had high hopes for Jeremy Sumpter after Peter Pan too. Although, even though he hasn't really been in anything big he has still been around and he was in the TV show "Friday Night Lights" (which I've never seen) for a while.

Ah well, at least he's still acting. I might check out FNL at some point, although given that it's about highschool and American football it doesn't really seem like my thing. Hopefully he can keep his career ticking over long enough to be in something I'd want to see again.

I've heard that "Friday Night Lights" is really good but I've never seen any of it. It doesn't really sound like my kinda thing either.

OH I LOVE AGENT COOPER BITCHING ABOUT THE NORWEGIANS. He is just AMAZING. So amazing and SO CRANKY the next day! I love that he still goes out of his way to make it clear that the hotel has been NOTHING BUT LOVELY. I love him a lot.

I love how that was THE ABSOLUTE CRANKIEST he got throughout the whole series - drugs, murder, rape, incest, getting shot, crazydrunk!Harry, the whole Lucy/Andy thing, all that he could more or less handle, but OMFG SHUT UP SINGING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT FFS! And Audrey tried to hit on him the next day and he's like, OMG SO TIRED GO AWAY but he's still kind of sweet to her. OH AGENT COOPER. He is TOO AMAZING FOR LIFE.
