what is this, a center for ants?

You know another movie I've never actually seen but people prolly think I have? Zoolander.

A movie I saw yesterday? Get Smart, with the usual suspects. I liked it. Glad to see it didn't get beat out by The Love Guru. I mean, the trailers and commercials made that movie look totally horrible, but these past few movies I've seen, so many people were laughing hysterically at the trailer, and I silently wept for America. But the fact it didn't even break top 3 has restored some of what little faith I had in humanity. But getting back to Get Smart (which was tops at the box office this past weekend), while I enjoyed it, there was one thing I found kinda jarring. I'm not too familiar with the show, but I assume Maxwell Smart was a bit of a goof, like he bumbled his way into success. And Steve Carrell does play the fool at times. But when it came time for action, usually spy comedies are a little campy with the action, but he's frickin' one-shotting people left and right! It was just a little weird for them to switch between him shooting himself with mini-crossbow bolts and doing something stupid, and like killing bad guys left and right. I will say he is the most competent of the goofball spies in these kinda movies.

An observation I've made about Megan Fox? Her hotness for me seems to be inversely proportional to the amount of lipstick she's wearing. I mean, the hottest she ever looked was in Transformers, and when she's out and about not wearing a lot of make-up or in a photoshoot where they're going for a more natural look, I think she looks great. But when she's all dollied up like a whore, especially with the really red lipstick, she looks, well, whore-ish.

Owel, now I can segue into Hack/Slash because she was "supposedly interested" in playing Cassie Hack in the movie adaptation of that series. And how hot would that be? Seeing her dressing in all those skimpy sexy super-hot-punk-rock-goth-emo (hey, their description, not mine) outfits, like the short plaid skirts and black bras under the mid-riff baring fishnet shirts and knee high boots and that weird socks on the arms thing? HOTT! But yeah, just read the Murder-Suicide mini and the Spin-Psycho supplement cross-over/collaboration whatever with SuicideGirls.com. Bloody brilliant! Yeah, it was total fan-service, but is there anything really wrong with that?

Also halfway through "Tramps Like Us". Its a pretty good series, I don't think I've been this compelled by a shoujo (what am I, an emo fag?) since Kare Kano. It definitely has a lot of emotional moments, and not just in the main storyline. A lot of the side stories are that way. Just read the one with the old lady who also had a dog named Momo, that was a poignant little story. I'm definitely interested to see how this series ends. I mean, I think people would riot if it didn't end a certain way, but at the same time, I'm curious to see if and how they'll transition to that point.

Sunday night TV commentary:

So on the 2008 Guy's Choice awards on Spike TV last night, "Iron Man" won guy movie of the year. It has me curious though, is the reason Iron Man is so popular because he's not as broody as some of these other superheroes, or an archaic goody-goody from another century, is cool and a lady's man without being a faggy Briitsh dude, and still has an everyman quality about him because he doesn't really have super-powers (though being an brilliant genius and having a sophisticated flying battle suit does give one an instinct advantage)? But he did lose on "biggest ass-kicker" to Jason Bourne. But that's fair, as Jason Bourne kicks ass without having a high tech suit of armor. Of course, he can't take on tanks and jet fighters like Iron Man can. And I still say Iron Man post Extremis is too powerful.

Also, that Katy Perry chick has been getting popular lately because of that one song of hers, but didn't another chick do a song called "I Kissed a Girl" already? Like a decade ago?

So VH-1 has "I Love the New Millenium" this week, even though we're not passed the oughts. At the same time though, it is 2008, so there's only a year and a half left until we get to the tens, which is kinda freaky. We're like almost up to the 2001 sequel. And the future of Back to the Future 2!

blogging? I love blogging!

I was trying to figure out who the chick was in that Twix commercial, so I looked it up, and its Blah Blah from that one ep of HIMYM.

How often does f/X frickin' show Mr. and Mrs. Smith?! Its like every time I switch it to that channel, that movie is playing!

Saw this meme somewhere and thought it was interesting:

1. My username is _____ because ____

geebs was my nickname in college. I don't know why. Mebbe because its close to Jeeves and I'm all helpful and butler like? But yeah, phatjoe told me about LJ early enough that I was able to quickly scoop the name up.

2. My name is _____ because ______.

My name is Anthony, because that's what my parents named me. Sorry, I don't have any cool story of why they named me that. That I know of. As far as I know, they like picked it at random, it wasn't the name of some butcher who cut extra large lamb chops for my mom when she was preggers with me or anything.

3. My journal is titled ____ because ____.

Its called 152 insights into my soul because I'm a fan of "You've Got Mail", and that line seemed appropriate.

4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.

My peeps, because they're my peeps.

5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.

Kyosuke Kagami from Rival Schools. I thought he looked cool, and he's got the glasses and the same kinda hair (though my hair is not orange in real life, obvie). Plus, I like his personality, a little bit nerdy, but still vain and into combat and fighting.
