In movies:

Does it make me a horrible person if I cried more during I Love You Phillip Morris than I did while watching A Single Man? No, that would be silly. But it still feels slightly wrong.


I think it's because you knew what was going to happen in ASM. That doesn't make it any less depressing however. Jim and George were together 16 years. Jim dies in a fucking car accident that also kills at least one of their dogs and possibly the other one. George can't even go to his fucking funeral because it's 'only for family.' Shit, nobody would have even told him Jim had died if Jim's cousin hadn't shown some kind of humanity and called him. I didn't want to see George kill himself if only because I knew Jim wouldn't have wanted him to, but I knew it couldn't (and maybe shouldn't) have a happy ending. Beautifully sad movie and Colin Firth was excellent.

I Love You Phillip Morris still... bothers me. But in a good way I guess. I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. I laughed, I cried, I got really involved in the love story between Phillip and Steven. It left me feeling depressed and hopeful at the same time. This movie needs to be out in theatres already! It's really fucked up that they keep pushing back the release date. The movie's site where you can watch the trailer (and other videos) - http://www.phillipmorristhemovie.com/



Anyhoo, I recommend both movies. Especially I Love You Phillip Morris?

In television:

Doctor Who just keeps getting better and better!

There's just so much I'm loving about DW that I can't quite get my thoughts together. I love Matt Smith's version of the Doctor. He's weird, crazy, and I love how he can freak out so easily but still work out a solution (even if it's not the best one). I love how much he cares for Amy. I love how touchy he is - I am a total sucker for forehead touches (and kisses) and it seems to be a THING with the two of them so I am ecstatic about that. I love the Weeping Angels being creepy as fuck. Oh, GOD! To finally see them MOVE. The forest in the ship was creepy and brilliant. I love the crack in the universe. I love that there are already some very interesting theories going around, especially regarding that one scene. I trust in Moffat and team enough to think that it wasn't just a mistake on their part. Breadcrumbs.

The US needs to get caught up so I can use more spoilery icons!!

Also, I wish I wasn't saving money for buying things when I'm in Europe (also bills, but whatever) because I really want this and this. Among other things. Is there also an Amy action figure out there? Because I can't have an Eleven without an Amy. Which reminds me, I know where my Kirk and Spock are, but I seem to have lost track of Jack and Daniel...

In Real Life:

Nothing much. Working. Got to hang out with two of my friends last week. Trying not to think about my upcoming trip too much. I'm already having trouble sleeping and part of that is because of my anxiety over flying and being so far away from home.

It's weird because this movie hasn't really been talked about. And its release date keeps getting pushed back, which is just ridiculous. Some people out there just don't want it to be seen :/

And nobody could blame you for wanting to buy that. I want that ♥_♥

I just watched those movies recently.

A single man was beautiful, but I was more interested in the way it was made at the end than what I had just seen plotwise. I loved it though!

I Love You Phillip Morris was so camp at points I couldn't believe it, but I loved it! I instantly went online to find out more about Steven. Very interesting and fun.

I hear A Single Man (the movie) didn't really do the book justice, so I think I'll give the book a try. The film itself is very pretty though, and yeah I think I'd be more interested in the technical aspects.

ILYPM was quite campy at some points and it rather surprised me as well. I haven't been able to look up much more about Steven yet, but I've been meaning to. Hopefully I'll have some time soon. It was very interesting and fun :)

I downloaded I Love You Phillip Morris yesterday, but I doubt I'll have the time to actually watch it anytime soon. I can't wait to, though!

Doctor Who was, again, amazing. I just love these two. (except for maybe the last scene? I don't think I wanted to see them go there). But the forehead!kissing is just about the sweetest thing ever. :)

When you do finally get to watch it, let me know what you think!

I didn't mind the last scene so much :) While I'm A-OK with them being the BFFs they already are, I think this might be the first Doctor/Companion combo that I actually ship as well. But I'd still rather have forehead!kisses any day.
