Seven Minutes in Heaven

[sarea]

1) My friend Julie is always trying to set me up with someone, no matter how many times I ask her not to. Today she was all, "I want to introduce you to Michael. Would you be interested in a white boy, who's tall, thin, kind of pale-skinned, and really sweet?" I was like, you had me until that last thing.

2) Do you ship Mary/Colin or Mary/Dickon from The Secret Garden? I have always held a secret torch for Mary/Colin, because that was so where the sparks were. I don't care that they're cousins. In fact if they were brother/sister it might be the first serious incest ship I'd ship. <g> Am happy because [due to Jade] have discovered two versions of the movie/sequel to the movie where Mary and Colin end up together. Filmmakers are guilty incest proponents like me.

3) Have been seeing trailers for The Notebook, and I must say that I am all squeey over the fact that blond-ish Ryan Gosling is playing the male lead, and he's all head over heels for Rachel McAdams, who's a redhead in the movie. Squeeeeee!! I know it's got a pretty typical romantic-movie premise, but where I usually cringe at something so obvious, this one actually looks well done. That or it's just the trailers.

4) My tax refund has been credited to my account, so everything went through okay after all. Yay!

5) The soundtrack to 50 First Dates is all reggae-y 80s music and is so good.

6) Did not see Eternal Sunshine because Julie was lame and got the theater wrong. Instead we went to Target, which is not the same at all but a necessity. She and her roommate convinced me to overcome my Punkass Bitch syndrome and actually get out of the house to meet people. Thus I found myself at a comedy club called Giggles, and saw the funniest. damn. comedian. I have seen in quite awhile. His name's Mike Birbiglia, and seriously -- if he ever comes to your town (tonight was his last night here), GO SEE HIM.

7) Yesterday, saw Ella Enchanted and 13 Going on 30. Hated the first, loooooved the second.

And who put you on this course? WHO? I get no respect.

I can't wait to have all my GP shipper desires made real by filmmakers who got paid and everything. It's like filmed fanfic!

I shun you both because now I STILL cannot talk to you about this movie. Honestly. HONESTLY.

Really, drunk!Sarea is the best one. How was your grilled cheese? It was best you didn't use a knife, wasn't it?

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

I have edited the entry to include your participation, you attention hound.

Yes, but filmed fanfic isn't always good. Look at the Matrix sequels.

The grilled cheese was goooooooood. I washed it down with my macaroni and cheese. I used a knife to cut the sandwich in half, but I appear to still have all my fingers.

And I got a French manicure and a really really really really cute bra.

[jade-okelani.livejournal.com]

I am not an attention hound. I am an attention whore. Were you not drunk, I have every confidence I would not have been forced to point this distinction out to you.

A pox upon you for mentioning the Matrix sequels in any context. And another pox upon you for making me mention them in reply.

I am now hungry after hearing about your cheesy dinner and I must have a snack. Damn you. Damn you and your cute bra buying French manicured hands.

Ooooooh! I have GOT to see 13 Going on 30! Like soon. DAMN it to hell that I couldn't go see it last night.

I've been wanting to see it since I first laid eyes on the trailer. I even got to go on the Jay Leno show when Jennifer Garner guest starred! (which was AWESOME, by the way)

So yeah, am glad to hear that it was as lovable as I expected it to be. *g* That is all.

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

Wow, you did?! That is so cool! Jennifer Garner is such a cutie. She cracked me up in the Alias gag reel; it's amazing how uncoordinated she is IRL. :))

I have to admit that I know someone who didn't love it as much as me, but we saw it in two different theaters and both times the audience started clapping at the end. So yeah, I'd trust me more. :D

[connaka.livejournal.com]

Yeah, she seemed like a really awesome chica IRL! Verah funny too! Great sense of humor. *g*

Me too! It WAS rather enjoyable. After watching it, I was bummed that that was it. I wished there'd been more. :/

*snerk* I'll take your word for it. Wheeee! Sounds good! What was your impression of Mark Ruffalo in this?? Just something I wondered about.

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

Good question re: Mark Ruffalo. I actually really, really liked him for this part. I don't know how you feel about Mark Ruffalo in general; I don't know that, if you had something against him, this would really change your mind, but I did like him in the role.

Then again, I've liked him in what I've seen him in. I think he's the stoned/monotone uncle from Grounded for Life, right? Of the few eps I've seen of that show, I always liked his character the most, before I knew who he was. Today I saw him in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind -- I liked him fine in it, but not as much as in the other two roles.

[annibug.livejournal.com]

You should still try to see Eternal Sunshine, I liked it a lot.

13 Going on 30 is on my list to see next.

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

I may see ES today, depending on how lazy I feel. :D

You should see 13Go30! It's really fun ... not the best film ever made, but I don't think anyone expects that. Hope you can find time before the move!

Dude, Mary/Dickon all the way, although I do see the hotness in Mary/Colin.

Heh, Ryan Gosling.

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

You see? Once again we prove our complementary tastes in men. You are one chick I'd totally hang with, because we'd never go for the same guys.

I've never thought of Ryan Gosling as leading man material (I can only picture him in my head the way he was in Remember the Titans), but Nicholas Sparks-adapted movies seem to do that (like Shane West in A Walk to Remember).

[akscully.livejournal.com]

Truly, we are meant to be together forever.

Ryan Gosling is hot, yo. Shane West, not so much.

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

He's hot? OMG I would so not go that far. He might be a little cuter than I remember, but there's still something kind of weird about his face.

I would not put him that much further up on the hotness scale from Alex Band.

[akscully.livejournal.com]

My friend, I am sorry to say that you are wrong. Alex Band is a freak. Those eyebrows still haunt me. However, if by "there's still something kind of weird about his face" you mean "Ryan Gosling is gorgeous" then I wholeheartedly agree with you.

Also, heh.

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

This dude (http://www.atpictures.com/display.php?g=ryang&img=ryan12.jpg) is "gorgeous"??? If his face were any longer he'd be a horse.

[akscully.livejournal.com]

S8GH. Nay, my friend, NAY. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

This guy is gorgeous.

[chrismiss.livejournal.com]

OMG! The Notebook! Me and my sister have been discussing how it's like D/G cause of blonde, brooding guy and then red headish girl lead! I want to see it just to go D/G batty. Not to mention Ryan Gosling looks good in a white, wet oxford shirt. Mmmmm.

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

Heehee, yes, even if the movie looked terrible from the trailers, I'd probably have to see it anyway for that reason. Luckily, it actually looks decent, so I may make it to the theater rather than renting. I can't decide whether or not I want to read the book first ... I'm thinking at this point, I shouldn't.

Really, re: Ryan? I've only seen him in one movie, and while he was cute-ish, he wasn't particularly attractive or anything. Plus I really can't judge his acting, since the role was pretty small.

[chrismiss.livejournal.com]

Re: Ryan Gosling...it's this movie where he's in the wet shirt...so yes...he looks pretty good here. In other movies he's just been cute blonde boy. But yea, was surprised myself about him being yum.

[sevenfourteen.livejournal.com]

1) you don't like sweet boys?

2) Mary/Dickon alll the way. I didn't care much for Colin, he often pissed me off. And in my culture (even tho i think it's icky) people do marry their cousins, so it isn't even that that bothers me as much. I just wanted to hit Colin sometimes. Dickon is soo nice and cute

3) The Notebook...isn't that a Nicholas Sparks book? I've never read anything by him. I do love Ryan Gosling tho. He was on some show I watched sometimes when I was younger...plus I have a thing for blondes ;)

4) At this point, I have no idea how the tax stuff works...my dad handles it all...I'm a little scared for the future :o

5) I LOVE 80's music..but i like most of the originals better than the covers...I wasn't too crazy about that movie...Normally, I love Adam Sandler...It was ok...just, I think I overanalyzed it a bit :D

6) Am DYING to see that. I love Jim Carrey and I hear that it is an amazing movie

7) Awww, I liked Ella Enchanter :) I thought it was cute...well except that last song/dance sequence...that was stupid..and yes, there is some randomosity to it, but I still liked it. Haven't seen 13 going on 30, but do want to as it looks quite cute. I do have to admit, however, that I am not too big of a Jennifer Garner fan.

Dude, we need to chat it up AIM style sometime

Hope everything else is well

*MMMWAH*

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

1) Maybe you haven't noticed my fixation on Draco Malfoy...

3) Yeah, I thought I said something about Nicholas Sparks, but I guess it was just in comments to someone else. It's the 3rd (that I know of) film that's been adapted from a NS novel, but I haven't read any of them, either.

5) I normally don't really like Adam Sandler, but loved 50 First Dates. We seem to have opposite tastes in just about everything. <g>

7) I love Jennifer Garner, so that might have helped me enjoy the movie. No guarantees on enjoyability if you go into it not liking her. =) I thought all of EE was pretty stupid, not just the last song/dance sequence, though it had a couple of minor moments that I liked. Honestly, if I hadn't planned to watch 13 Going on 30 right after, I probably would have walked out. However, I've long ago accepted that my taste isn't most people's taste. For instance, I usually despise romantic comedies (another reason why it's surprising that I liked 50 First Dates), and most people (girls, at least) love those.

Everyone knows it's Mary/Dickon and Colin gets crazily jealous and throws a fit and gets insane, until they are tempted to let him join in.

Obviously.

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

LOL that might be the best answer so far. It's the Anti-Trio.
