The story of a bored individual...

* The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist. And like that… he’s gone! – The Usual Suspects * I take away his weapon. Both of them. – Sin City * I aim to misbehave. – Serenity * Gentlemen! You can’t fight in here! This is the war room! – Dr. Strangelove * One Ring to Rule Them All. One Ring to Find Them. One Ring to Bring Them All and In The Darkness Bind Them - LOTR * The hell I send him to is gonna seem like Heaven after what I’ve done to him – Sin City * Tonight we dine in hell! – 300 * He’s not the Messiah. He’s a very naughty boy! – Life of Brian * We must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil, which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men. – The Boondock Saints * Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. – FOTR * There's no hope for us here, there is only death. – The Fountain * Mutation: it is the key to our evolution. It has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow, and normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward. – X-Men * We’re gonna need a bigger boat – Jaws * From the ashes, a fire shall be woken. A light from the shadow shall spring. Renewed shall be blade that was broken. The crownless again shall be king. – ROTK * Love. You can know all the math in the 'Verse, but take a boat in the air you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells ya she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her home. – Serenity * Even the smallest person can change the course of the future. – FOTR * Man's reach exceeds his imagination! – The Prestige* Mutants. Since the discovery of their existence they have been regarded with fear, suspicion, often hatred. Across the planet, debate rages. Are mutants the next link in the evolutionary chain or simply a new species of humanity fighting for their share of the world? Either way it is a historical fact: Sharing the world has never been humanity's defining attribute. – X2 * How, in the name of Zeus's butthole, did you get out of your cell? – The Rock * When you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk – The good, the bad and the ugly * Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country – Patton * I'm just God's sock puppet, ok? He shoves his hand up my ass and words come out the other end. – Jeremiah * Oh, it's not so surprising really. Mankind has always feared what it doesn't understand. Well, don't fear God, Senator, and certainly don't fear me. Not any more. - X-Men * She doesn't quite chop his head off. She makes a Pez dispenser out of him. – Sin City * Why when I talk about faith, do you always assume I'm talking about God? – Serenity * You are a God among insects, never let anyone tell you different. X2 * Every shadow no matter how deep is threatened by morning light. – The Fountain * And Shepherds we shall be For thee, my Lord, for thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti. – The Boondock Saints * When an individual acquires great power, the use or misuse of that power is everything, will it be used for the greater good or will it be used for personal or destructive ends? Now this is a question we must all ask ourselves. – X3 * Deadly little Miho. She won't let you feel a thing unless she wants you to. She twists the blade. He feels it. – Sin City * Hobbits really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month, and yet after a hundred years they can still surprise you. – FOTR * Come a day there won't be room for naughty men like us to slip about at all. This job goes south, there well may not be another. So here is us, on the raggedy edge. Don't push me, and I won't push you. Dong-luh mah? – Serenity * Mutants are not the ones mankind should fear. – X-Men * No parent should have to bury their child. – The Two Towers * It's time to prove to your friends that you're worth a damn. Sometimes that means dying, sometimes it means killing a whole lot of people. – Sin City * How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart, you begin to understand, there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep, that have taken hold. – ROTK * How does it look from there Charles? Still fighting the good fight? From here it looks like they're not playing by your rules. Maybe it's time to play by theirs! – X2 * Secrets are not my concern. Keeping them is. – Serenity * We're sorta like 7-Eleven. We're not always doing business, but we're always open. – The Boondock Saints * There is no promise you can make that I can trust.  - The Two Towers * That there is one damn fine coat you're wearin'. – Sin City * I will bring you hope, old friend. And I ask only one thing in return: don't get in my way. We are the future, Charles, not them! They no longer matter! – X-Men * People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome. – Serenity * We will send you to whatever god you wish. – The Boondock Saints * The closer we are to danger, the farther we are from harm. – The Two Towers * This "dorky-looking helmet" is the only thing that's gonna protect me from the real bad guys. – X2 * The man stole my life. I steal his trick. – The Prestige * Hell's waking up every goddamn day and not even knowing why you're here. – Sin City * I don't want to be in a battle. But waiting on the edge of one I can't escape is even worse. – ROTK * You of all people know how fast the weather can change. – X3 * And after I pull off that miracle, maybe I'll go punch out God. – Sin City * I can avoid being seen if I wish, but to disappear entirely, that is a rare gift. – FOTR * Put a bullet to me. Bullet in the brain pan. Squish. – Serenity * You homo sapiens and your guns. – X-Men * Charlie Bronson's always got rope. – The Boondock Saints * Freedom is not free, that it comes with the highest of sacrifices. The price of blood. – 300 * Half of writing history is hiding the truth. – Serenity * I love hitmen. No matter what you do to them, you don't feel bad. – Sin City * It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to. – FOTR * There is no land of tolerance. There is no peace. Not here, or anywhere else. – X-Men * Come back with your shield, or on it. –300 * I am a leaf on the wind - watch how I soar. – Serenity * I will not say do not weep, for not all tears are an evil. – ROTK * Thanks for having me and my irresponsible child over your house. – Juno * Most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes. – X2 * I'll cut you in ways that'll make you useless to a woman. – Sin City * Give them nothing! But take from them everything! – 300 * You would drink, too, if you knew the world half as well as I do. – The Prestige * Mr. Laurio, never trust a beautiful woman. Especially one who's interested in you. – X2 * It's okay to leave them to die. – Serenity * Jesus, I'm tired. I'm so fucking tired. You know how tired I am? If a girl came up to me and begged me to fuck her, I couldn't do it. That's how tired I am. – Little Miss Sunshine * In chess, the pawns go first. – X3 * Do you know what the definition of a hero is? Someone who gets other people killed. You can look it up later. – Serenity * Can't you read my mind? What now? Save the girl? You'll have to kill me, Charles. And what will that accomplish? Let them pass that law and they'll have you in chains with a number burned into your forehead. – X-Men * Doctors are sadists who like to play God and watch lesser people scream. – Juno * A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to. – FOTR * You know all those dangerous mutants you hear about in the news? I'm the worst one. – X2 * Go tell the Spartans, passerby, that here by Spartan law, we lie.- 300 * I am on nobody's side, because nobody is on my side. – The Two Towers * Mankind is not evil, just... uninformed. – X-Men * All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. – FOTR * Because only Spartan women give birth to real men. - 300 * Don't lecture me about war. This already is a war. – X2 * I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you! – ROTK * Now you're looking for the secret, but you won't find it because you're not really looking. You don't really want to know the secret. You want to be fooled. – The Prestige * You should've killed me when you had the chance! – X2 * The fate of the world will now be decided. – The Two Towers * Have you ever tried... not being a mutant? – X2 * Don't leave me here alone. Don't go where I can't follow. – ROTK * If you wanna to shoot me, shoot me! – X2 * There's no strength left in the world of men. – FOTR * Too much iron in your blood. – X2 * I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee, here at the end of all things. – ROTK * I'm fed up saving your ass. I'm amazed you made it past puberty. – The Rock * If we die, you die. – X2 * Men? Men are weak. – FOTR * I need to know that it's possible that two people can stay happy together forever. - Juno * There never was much hope. Just a fool's hope. – ROTK * No one cares about the man in the box, the man who disappears. – The Prestige * Let's hunt some Orc. – FOTR * I'm already pregnant, so what other kind of shenanigans could I get into? – Juno * The days are growing darker. – ROTK * The world will know that free men stood against a tyrant, that few stood against many, and that before this battle is over, even a god-king can bleed. - 300 * I do not fear death. – ROTK * There's two kinds of people in this world, there's winners and there's losers. Okay, you know what the difference is? Winners don't give up.- Little Miss Sunshine * I am no man! – ROTK *

Finally done with my review. A recap before tonight's episode.

EDIT: Okay, changed this post a little bit, made it in to a meme, after I managed to find all the covers. I've had this meme up before, but thought it'd be a bit tidier this way.

If you choose to do the meme, you can do it with anything, films/dvd/foodstuffs - whatever you choose.

Tell me which movies we both own.
Tell me the ones you are suprised by me owning
Tell me why I am sad for owning a particular title.

When I did my Christmas card thing, I als asked if any of you wanted icons, they're finally done. :)

_krystleklear, elvea_aure, lizzy_maxia & tygerx, you can find them ( In here )

... but am taking a little break. Need time to think a little bit, so figured I'd update.

Am feeling a bit better, but two nights ago I woke up in the middle of the night, after I splashed some water on my face I suddenly felt like the temperature dropped extremely and I was really freezing, and I got naseous, made my way in to my livingroom, grabbed my blanket, wrapped myself in it and just lay on the floor. I've experienced something like that before, but think it's the first time it was connected to a cold. Weird, went away though.
Tonight I actually managed to sleep the entire night... didn't wake up till 13:35. I hate sleeping that late, I always try  to be up by 12:00 when I'm at home... 10:00 when I'm in London.
Anyways... am feeling better. Just coughing and feeling a bit tired now, at least the runny nose seems to have stopped.

I've been watching 'Prison Break' eps 1-10. I really like it! The guy who plays Lincoln Burrows, Dominic Purcell, is half Norwegian... just had to mention that. ;) It's a good show. I've always though Wentworth Miller was a good looking man, but never more, but he does look very good in this show, hope the big-suits finally notice him and give him some bigger roles and such. I couldn't forget him after the 1 1/2 episodes of 'Popular' he was in, might have been because I loved his character though.

Am still loving 'Supernatural'. That scene in 'The Journey Home' when Dean calls his Dad. Just wonderful. I want more episodes now!!! I made two Dean icons for beluga... I just had to share.

Normally I'd post these over in my icon journal, mukkianglia, but since they were made for beluga, I'll post them here.

Okay, should get back to my essay. If anybody has anything to say about camera work, or movies and such where they think the camera work and such is very good, please share, and tell me why. Am thinking mainly gritty or dark stuff ala 'Sin City' and 'Angel'... even 'Firefly'. Please share with me, links on the subject are welcome too. :)

Btw I've gotten some cards! I forgot to thank you! *slaps self*.
Thank you very much for you card starlit_woods, I loved it, and what you wrote made me smile. Thank you very much for the stickers too! :D
Thank you very much _krystleklear, what you wrote made me very happy, I hope to keep you on my flist for a long time too. :D
And last but not least thank you very much across_thestars for your wonderful card, it was very cute. :D

I hope everyone has recieved the cards I sent them, I sent them about two weeks ago, so they should have arrived by now.

Okay, back to work.

I won't get my hands on it for a while yet! But just knowing that it's finally available is good enough for me.

And it's extended! Yay!

SNATCHED FROM JOBLO.COM

We all complained about it (your comments at the bottom of THIS STORY and my RANT HERE), but it was more than obvious that despite the crappy bare-bones SIN CITY DVD that was released a couple of weeks ago, a jam-packed "real" version would be coming out sooner than later, and believe it or not...it's already here! Thanks to the dudes over at DVDAnswers.com for scooping this baby. The date: December 13, 2005! (just in time for Christmas). The price: $39.99. Why so high? The 2-disc RECUT & EXTENDED version of the film will also include a complete SIN CITY graphic novel (based on the first story "The Hard Goodbye"). The discs will also include:

• The 124-minute theatrical release
• The 147-minute extended cut
• A commentary with director Robert Rodriguez & Frank Miller
• A second commentary with Rodriguez & Quentin Tarantino
• A third commentary containing Austin Premiere crowd reaction
• A 15-minute film school with Rodriguez
• A Movie in High-Speed Green Screen feature
• 17 uninterrupted minutes of Tarantino's segment
• Footage of a Sin City cast/crew party
• A 10-minute cooking school with Robert Rodriquez
• 4 featurettes on the cars, special effects make-up, costumes and props, a featurette on how they convinced Miller to assist with the film, a featurette on casting, a featurette on Tarantino the guest director (sigh)
• Trailers
• Bloopers
• An interactive game
• 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen
• English DTS 5.1 and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround tracks

That enough for ya? Well, I guess we all expected the first edition of the DVD to rock as much as this one, but I suppose "show business" is called just that because they have to make money first, so better late than never, right? December 13th, boys and girls...that's the date when we can all buy the REAL VERSION of this awesome movie! Thanks to 'The Beatnik' for the head's up.

Hurray! Am so pleased by this, as I loved the movie, and now that there is an extended cut coming, I'm even more jazzed about it. Must peruse the comics and see what the new scenes might be, I'd like the Kevin/Marv fight to be a bit extended, but I doubt that'll happen. Hehe.

Now let's rejoice people and start the countdown till december 13th! :D
