neverwhereSince I haven't updated in a while, let's catch up on the NevvieNews:
That's about it really. Did you miss me? :)
I currently have the very silly 'Happiness Pie' song from the Kids in the Hall movie Brain Candy stuck in my head. I wish the film hadn't flopped, I'd love to see more KitH craziness on the big screen. Or anywhere really. Besides, more geekycute Dave Foley is always good. *grins*
*big hugs for Esther because she's worried about her* I hope you're feeling better my love.
Edit: If you think you're having deja vu, you are -- I somehow accidently deleted this entry (please don't ask how, I really have no clue what button I pressed or why) and had to repost. But that doesn't mean you can't comment and tell me how much you luuuuuuurve me. *winks playfully* :)
- Had really unhappy performance last night, I could feel the audience being bored at me. Ugh. The worst offenders were the wankers in the front row, who would not stop scowling and looking utterly unimpressed -- wanted so desperately to stop singing and smack them, and possibly shout in their ear: 'If you're going to be in the front row, you better sodding well look INTERESTED dammit, I can't concentrate with you looking at me like that! ARRRGGHHH!' Or something to that effect. *G* I honestly don't think it's so wrong to ask that even if you hate a show, if you're going to be in the front row you could at least pretend to be enjoying yourself, so the actors don't feel like shit. Thanks, arseholes. *kicks them*
- Bought CoS dvd, and once again wanted to hurl the bloody thing at the wall -- who thought that godawful menu system was a good idea?? It didn't work on the last dvd, and isn't working in this one. And whyyyyyyy are half of the 'special features' just rehashed scenes from the film!? If I want to see clips from the film, I'll just bloody well watch the film! SHEEESH!
Also. Chris Columbus is Potter Enemy #1. I can not believe some of the scenes he left out of the film. Was he on crack while editing it? He claims to want to remain faithful to the spirit of the books, and then he removes all the scenes which add moody atmosphere and a sense of menace (like the students whispering about Harry and especially the almost verbatim from the book scene at Borgin and Burkes -- I nearly cried when I saw that, it was SO GOOD!) and instead puts in that soppy shite at the end with Hagrid. GAH! Thank god he is not messing with my beloved Prisoner of Azkaban. I fear to think what he might have done with it. - Welcome new friends

blythely, whom I think I'm going to meet at Collectormania next month (wheee!) and sparkyred, whom I don't know but we have oodles in common, so I'm sure we'll get on well. *grins* - I watched the most delightfully slashy Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode the other day. I hate to say it, but Miles and Julian really are so cute together. *giggles* And their discussion about how much time they spend together is utterly priceless: 'I love Keiko. I just like...you a bit more.' 'And I love Ezri. I just like you a bit more.' Awwww. Isn't that precious? :)
- It's Adrien Brody's birthday! HURRAH! And, as further proof that I am indeed the coolest person in the world, it's also my father's birthday. Awwww yeahhh. *smug grin* :)

Date: 2003-04-15 01:58 am (UTC)Ooooh Craig would have been a good choice for him. I always (desperatelydesperately) felt Richard E. Grant was the perfect man to play him, and was absolutely gutted when he wasn't cast. But I've grown to appreciate the merits of Jason Isaacs too. :)

Date: 2003-04-15 01:56 am (UTC)I think there should be an obligatory test when you enter a theatre -- 'Are you sitting in the front row?' 'Yes'. 'Do you plan on scowling and making the actors feel uncomfortable throughout the performance?' 'I was thinking about it, yes'. 'Then move to the back! GO NOW!'
Or something like that. *grins*

Date: 2003-04-15 02:26 am (UTC)I'm sorry you had a bad day :P There always seem to be a group of schmucks who will get the best tickets to anything and then complain and sulk about the show while the rest of the audience is loving it...maybe you had a bad front row, but I bet all of the rest of the rows thought you were fantastic ;)
*hugs*
Re:
Date: 2003-04-15 02:29 am (UTC)Yeah, we received a decent amount of appreciative at the end, so it was mainly just the front that were so obnoxious. But they spoiled any enjoyment for the rest of us! Rawr.
PoA is my favourite (and it seems to be everyone elses too), I can't tell you how relieved I was when they announced the man who directed the brilliant A Little Princess film was going to take over. Now there's a man who knows what true magick is about. :)

Date: 2003-04-15 03:26 am (UTC)There is indeed -- it's not brilliant, but it's very amusing and occasionally makes you laugh (and snort) loudly. *grins*
I think it didn't do very well mostly because some of the humour would be very uncomfortable for alot of people. Maybe walking down the street singing the 'I'm gay!' song isn't to everyone's taste. ;-)

Date: 2003-04-15 02:28 pm (UTC)When are you coming over tomorrow, cousin Pippin? Us anally retentive Brandybuck types are keen to know so that we can provide plenty of second breakfast, ale, etc., and plan some Adventures. :) My beloved (sudden realisation I'm characterising my husband as Estella... whoops!) can pick you up in the cart after 5pm, or there are numerous excellent persons based in the area who can drive you from that railway station thingy (honestly, Sam's innovations... not at all convinced by that one...) for a small amount of money, say twelve silver pennies or so (okay, not that small, so if Estella isn't available to drive you we'll go halves on your taxi - I know how uncle Paladin likes to keep you short :( ).
Don't worry about bringing a sleeping bag in your pack, though a towel would be most useful.
Estella and I would also like to know whether you'd like to stay until Thursday or Friday? We are very happy for you to stay until Friday if you would like to. :)
Hope that life is looking up in Tuckborough. Can't believe it's only a couple of weeks since we were in Great Smials ourselves. Ah well.
Many hugs and kisses,

Merry my sweet, you are just too adorable. *smoochers for da coz* :D
I shall be in Frogmorton for a good part of the afternoon, meeting
I do hope this is satisfactory?
And I promise not to let the Tookish gene take over and forget everything that needs to be done and/or brought.
See you on the morrow! :D

YESSSS!!!!
And completely ignored any sense of menace or moody atmosphere. That's what CoS is all about, living in fear and being shunned by everyone -- and there's NOTHING of that oppressive atmophere in the film. RAWR!
Am still stunned by the no quidditch revalation. But if that means that PoA will be the best film EVER, I am willing to make that sacrafice. :)
