"I've had my eye on you all year long."

I caught Fracture yesterday. SO GOOD. Surprisingly funny and intense, and I LOVED the payoff and Willie's character arc. It was believable, as was the ending. All in all, one of my best movie experiences thus far this year. (I think Zodiac was the last time I left the theater so thoroughly satisfied.)

Oh, and Ryan Gosling is so the Canadian Christian Bale. Just, you know, FYI. In case you didn't get the memo.

A few of the movies I'm eagerly anticipating in the next few weeks/months:
Stardust
28 Weeks Later
Martian Child
Georgia Rule
ETA: D'OH! Knocked Up

Apropos of nothing, I am officially a go for John/Rashida. Yes, I know they were just waiting on pins and needles for my approval. But seriously! Look how cute they are! What with John being ginormous compared to Rashida! ADORABLE, people!

And here's a little Gyllenhaal to start off the week because seriously, if I could, I would marry that entire damn family because they are AWESOME. Oh, Jake, honey, I’ll love you forever for this: "I see politicians struggle as I see other actors struggle. Actors and politicians share a lot of similarities. And it's a sad time when politicians have to act. I feel like when you appeal to everybody, it may seem that everybody likes you, but is that really who you are? The ability to be human is to have people like you or not like you. But when you're in the job of getting votes, it's, like, who are you gonna be?" Dude. SIGH.

Fic Rec!

And this is why the internets are a most rocking of rocking things:

Some Rumors Are True (Eventually) by michellek

The woman looks oddly disappointed, and John pictures her getting on her computer and hurriedly typing up a petition calling for them to rekindle their romance. Rashida, in one of her frequent trips to the internets, would learn of it and be convinced that their relationship deserves another shot.

For this to work, Rashida would have to become an idiot, which would make her decidedly less appealing, forcing them apart once again. So perhaps it's best that people only do petitions for important things, like keeping Andy Barker on the air and making sure Sanjaya gets kicked off American Idol in a timely manner.

John Krasinski/Rashida Jones RPF! SERIOUSLY. There may have been a little CHAIR-DANCING OF ABSOLUTE JOY, but I'm not telling. And my CAPSLOCK O'HAPPY FANGIRL is testament to how delighted I am by this fic!

Plus, I get to take my "Fucking Kiss Me Already" Jim icon out again since I've kept him pretty much under lock and key since Jim's slow descent into pure idiocy lately on The Office. (Just because it's realistic, folks, don't mean I got to like it.)

But seriously, go read! IT IS AWESOME.
