We watched Southland Tales last night. There are some movies which I find very hard to recommend, but that just blow my mind and give me a certain level of excitement for the future of film-making. It was fascinating on so many levels to me, visually obviously, but I particularly liked how much it made me think. Some of that I'm sure is due to how it's somewhat rambling and surreal so I couldn't just let a simple, linear plot wash over me, but it maintained this underlying current that managed to hold everything that seemed fantastical or bizarre together in such a way that I never felt that the most absurd things were actually absurd. The cast in and of itself was fascinating, since it made me keenly aware how much I mentally typecast so many of them. I'd love to let it sit in my head for a while and watch it again, which isn't something I really got from Donnie Darko. All in all, I adored it.
Also, someone should so write me Seann William Scott and Dwayne Johnson RPS or point me towards it if it exists. Everytime I see them together it makes me feel embarrassingly squealy. Seriously. I have such a massive crush on Dwayne Johnson, one which I can feel better about everytime he's in a movie I want to watch for the movie's sake and not just because I want to paw at his biceps and see him smile. I'm dying to go see Get Smart. Tomorrow hopefully. :x

poisontaster for the Small Fandom Big Bang. I've hardly read in the fandom since John/Matt is not something I can see really easily, but she wins me over every time with the way she writes them. This is a fantastic story, with the sort of character development from beginning to end and the quality of writing that reminds me so thoroughly of everything I love about reading fanfic. The pacing and emotional intensity and omghotness had me ignoring everything this morning in favour of reading all the way to the end in a single sitting.

geeky
Would you consider donating art to the livelongnmarry auction over at LJ? I'm sorry to ask so late - it's the last week = but I kept thinking I'd see you there. I would bid! The commission you did for WCB is totally amazing!
Also, where do you archive your public art, please?
I'd seen it early on and had considered, but I'm somewhat conflicted. I believe in the cause with all my heart, but I tend to have strong negative opinions about the way most charities/NPOs operate and since the charity is up to the bidder, it makes me feel a little skeevy.
I suppose the cause is bigger than my personal misgivings though, and I should trust my fellow fandomers to research their charities. I'll email the mods and see if they want to find a workaround to my inability to create a journal.
:3 I've been working on getting a lot of my older stuff up there on DI this week, so I'm posting about an average of 20 images a day of the really old stuff.
well done
