This morning my co-worker across from me informed our office that there was a woman on the loose. This woman on the loose was suspected of carrying a gun and was not an employee. Security was looking for her floor by floor.

What the FUCK?

She's been caught, but I would rather not know if it was in fact a gun she was carrying around in her little pouch. Or if she had any intended targets.

Guh.

Let it never be said that research is boring.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? I hope you hid under your desk. I would have told my boss I was so upset I had to go home, and gone to the movies. Which I did today, for the first time in town, in our BRAND NEW MOVIE THEATRE. Saw Pirates. Meh. Big mistake dressing Keira as a boy for the whole thing. Hello! Period piece, want my period gowns. Orlando is starting to fill out a bit, now that he's a grownup, and is slightly less fey. 2 head kebonks, one lashing, no bondage. What the hell is the point, I ask you?

Regarding your icon:

There have been rumors of a Goonies sequel since 1987, most everybody is on board, studio not interested. But now Paul Walker wants to be in it (one of the Fratellis?) so we'll see.

Geez. I hope you're ok. I can only imagine how creepy that whole thing was.

Oh, no it gets better. Come to find out after the woman was caught that she was carrying a fucking AK47. And - AND! - the entrance where the crazy woman entered? The security guard was ASLEEP! ASLEEP!!! The woman passed by the guard twice with a fucking AK47 and the security guard slept through it.

Needless to say, the security guard was fired on the spot and escorted off property. As for why the woman showed up with a fucking AK47 at all is still a mystery. We ladies in the office decided it had to be a man she was after, or the woman currently DOING her man.

Anyway.

Saw Pirates. Meh.
Yeah, I was pretty meh overall with POTC 2. I thought A LOT of it could have been left on the editing room floor, and the makeup on Stellan Skaarsgard was nauseating. That sort of shit, stuff growing out of skin - *SHUDDER!* And now I'm itchy and squicked. Blech.

But I did love Naomi Harris. I've loved her since I saw her in 28 Days Later... and thought she was fantastic with what little she was given. Plus Gibbs, Pintel and Ragetti never fail to amuse me. I LOVED the little dance they did after they saw the mark on Jack's hand.

And YAY! The movie theater finally opened! That thing has been in the work since forever. (Practically since we first started chatting - how appropriate considering our 2nd anniversary was this month.)

I'm on the fence. First of all, PAUL WALKER?! Whoa. That may endear him to me a little more if he's a big fanboy of the movie. (Yes, I'm easy to please. It does, indeed, make him a little more adorable in my book.)

Secondly, I'm not sure I want them to fuck with the original. It was so perfect as is, and I want it to remain untainted. That was my favorite film growing up, and I used to watch it endlessly with my cousins. However, that would be so cool to go the movies with them and see the sequel on the big screen. Plus, we could take the nephew, too.

Heh. I used to have such a wicked crush on Sean Astin. Wanted to marry him and go on adventures with the rest of the Goonies.

She had an AK47 in her purse? That thing is, like, 35'' long. What kind of purse?





I am ... humiliated ... to have to report that since watching Running Scared I have been infatuated with Paul Walker.

It is truly embarrassing. I have watched all his movies. Even the sled dog one and She's All That. I just finished watching Timeline. I couldn't get it at the video store because some drooling nitwit of a clerk put it on her "Tiffany's Picks" shelf so even though it's an older title it was out. I had to pirate it. But ... it's like Running Scared was a project to get me interested in this guy. Seriously. The movie is ridiculous, but he does an accent (surprizingly well), and he's all badass with the guns and the beating the shit out of people. Oh, and there's this amazing scene where he's tortured by Russian hockey players. It's, like, the best thing I have ever seen in a movie in my life.

Speaking of badasses, how much do I love Naomi Harris? One word: machete. And how the hell did she look so hot with black teeth?

Oh, yeah, she was carrying it in a gun case. An employee noticed her in the parking lot with it and recognized what she was holding. Thank GOD.

Aw, babe, it's okay. I've been infatuated with the guy since She's All That. He was all big and buff and blond and tan and a major dickhead and just sex on two legs.

Ugh, Timeline though. At least you didn't have to pay for it. God I hated that film. Not just because they totally fucked up the story in the adaptation process, but because they made nearly every character annoying. ANNOYING. You don't do that to Frances O'Connor. You just don't.

I mean, really. I loved the characterization of Selena - that the writers and director would go there with a female character totally sealed my love for the film. There was this thing I read where apparently the director and Naomi decided that Selena had had to kill her entire family as a result of the virus, including a much younger brother. Hence her cold determination to survive and absolute disconnect when ensuring that survival.

DUDE. She was beautiful in POTC2. Stunning, and her eyes are mesmerizing no matter what.

Fuck it all. I'm definitely going to have see Miami Vice now. No matter that I was a freak about that show as a kid, but she's playing Trudy? Yep. Gonna have to see it.

You don't do that to Frances O'Connor. You just don't.

I know! She was ... bad. Huh? WTF? So, the book is good? I was eschewing it with a firm hand on account of I'm a sci-fi snob and only read inaccessible work.

Hey - I'm not ignoring your thingie. I've been having a major technical meltdown and have been performing surgery on my harddrive with a grapefruit spoon. So I've been unwilling to send any documents. But I think things may be on the mend.

It is the only Michael Crichton novel I would ever recommend. It's surprisingly tight and the ending is great, which is a surprise, as ol' Mikey has ISSUES when it comes to endings in that he doesn't know where the fuck to just say STOP.

Hey - I'm not ignoring your thingie.
Heh. It's funny, I was just thinking to myself yesterday, "Geesh, is it that bad? Am I that rusty?!" Sorry to hear about the technical problems. Poor baby. I can't imagine with as much time as you have to spend on the computer, having it go all wonky on you. Oy with the stress.
