Blah blah blah

Saw Underworld a few days back, and wrote some bits on it, but it's in the laptop and am too lazy to go transfer it, so will post those comments after this. One thing I remember writing clearly is that after seeing the movie's romantic development, I am finally ready to accept it if H/Hr happens in canon, despite the lack of development. It happens, shipmates! ::groans::

Finally got my LJ account validated. Stupid edsamail. It never received LJ's instructions for validations--probably filtered it out--yet it accepts all that stupid spam I get? Grr...

On the good side! (Well, I've got to be optimistic! ^_~)

Hmm... Must get back to you on this next time.

LOL. Anyway. Here's a cheerer upper:


-Perfect- You're the perfect girlfriend. Which
means you're rare or that you cheated :P You're
the kind of chick that can hang out with your
boyfriend's friends and be silly. You don't
care about presents or about going to fancy
placed. Hell, you just hang out. You're just happy
being around your boyfriend.


What Kind of Girlfriend Are You?

Humor me, alright? Although I suspect this quiz to be fixed... my friend got the same results... ::pouts::

Er, yeah. Not making much sense anymore. Yeesh. I think I really *must* sleep. Have to go to church tomorrow at some ungodly hour in the morning... Tsk tsk tsk. 'Night! Or morning! Or whatever. ::yawn::

Underworld

Just saw Underworld a few days ago as it combines two of my favorite dark creatures: vampires (Lestat!) and werewolves (Lupin!), and am currently blaming Anne Rice for setting such standards of vampiric life that my friend and I had trouble going with the flow. Sample comments:

Friend: How come she didn't smell the blood?
Me: Where's the blood drinking? WHERE'S the blood drinking?
Friend: I can't believe she didn't smell the blood.
Me: How about heightened preternatural senses? Do they have that?
Friend: She should have smelled the blood.
Me: Can't they fly? Why can't they fly?
Friend: Lestat would have smelled the blood.
Me: Hey! How could he have a daughter? He's a vampire! Vampires don't have sex--do they?
Friend: What vampire wouldn't smell blood?

::rolleyes:: Oh well. At least the slash took a very palpable context. Lots of face to face teeth baring, biting, and all that.

Character: A grown man bit you?
Us: Well yeah, don't they do that a lot? ::sniggering::

::Face to face teeth baring scene::
Me: ::swoon:: Friend: Be quiet!
Me: They won't hear me, the music in this scene's too loud! ::resums swooning::

Friend: He bled for you? He BLED for you?
Me: They're saying a lot of "Leave us", but why isn't anything happening when they DO leave?

Kraven looked like Snape for a bit, then he started throwing Draco-ish tantrums. ("Oh, so he's *Michael* now?") What *is* the Snape/Draco ship called? Snaco? Sounds like some junk food. Drape? Uh... no.

As for Michael Corvin, the leading man? Poor soul. His only role was to be thrown haphazardly this way and that, and I doubt his body would have taken the abuse well. He was either pulled back with force, slammed against the wall, bitten in the elevator, bitten in the sewers, chained in some room, chained in another room, held at gunpoint, not to mention the fact that it's that time of the month. He spent a good portion of the movie being physically abused and writhing in pain. I suspect it's to make a show of his taut muscles flexing this way and that.

The love story was incredible. Now I see why some people believe some ships are going to happen in HP canon. [/sarcasm] If Michael and Celine manage to sneak in a couple of snogs after a foreplay of running away from Lycans, avoiding being shot, saving or being saved, and not talking to each other save for that bit of backstory for Celine, then I daresay *anything* can happen in HP canon shipping.

Speaking of Celine, I thought she desperately needed to shampoo her hair. I thought at first it was just the rain, but when the movie progressed and it still LOOKED like it was wet and kinky, well... She isn't giving vampires a good name by being such a slob. (Nice catsuit though.)

I liked the bit about "daylight in a bullet". Lack of continuity, though, because Celine came in saying the vampires had a problem before she showed the bullets, which from then on did nothing to the vampires. In fact, the vamps twisted the concept, came up with "silver nitrate in a bullet", then killed off the Lycan leader with it. I wanted to see the daylight in a bullet in action! They just glowed a pretty blue all throughout. What a shame.

Er, yeah. It was the most fun I had in a while, because I haven't been watching movies lately. (I missed Pirates of the Carribean! :( )
