Michelle's Journal

I meant to do this the other day after I watched Iron Man and Indiana Jones: comment on all the previews I saw for the summer movies.

I didn't see a preview for it, but just felt the need to mention that I WILL be seeing the X-Files movie. \o/

And also in the Coming Soon department, new Futurama DVD June 24!!

Just saw Iron Man. Ha! Fun. I don't really have anything deep to say about it - great popcorn flick and definitely worth a trip to the theater. (You know, CGI and special effects are just so good these days, I forget I'm watching special effects. It's pretty cool they've gotten to this point.)

And in other news, I might be in a semi-fic-reading mood, which translates into having read 2 whole fics this past week. That's more than I've read all year! And in this weakened state, a certain someone has dangled Dinner Party Fic in front of me, which I'm starting to suspect was a "Here's the ball! Go get the ball, Michelle! *fake throws*" tactic. BECAUSE THERE IS NO BALL.

I just finished watching Ocean's Thirteen, and my Eddie Izzard crush continues. I really need to check out "The Riches," don't I?

It wasn't really a resolution, but it's been on my to-do list for years. In fact, I've had the DVD from Netflix sitting around for a while now. I finally saw Metropolis. Talk about ahead of its time! The special effects they used - for the 1920s - were fantastic. Amazing production values for a silent film. Wiki's telling me that they spent the equivalent of $200 million to make it back then. I believe it.

Some of the film has been lost and so they had to pad it with text (I was having Doctor Who reconstruction flashbacks), but it was still extremely watchable.

Hmmm. Maybe I should resolve to do new things this year, whatever those new things might be.

Just saw The Simpson's movie. No spoilers, but I did laugh out loud more than a few times. If you like the Simpsons, I'd say consider seeing it. (Cracked me up what I'm sure was the cause of the PG-13 rating. :D)

Okay, when I say I *just* saw the movie, I kinda lied since I got back over an hour ago but have been playing on the Simpsons movie website. Talk about an excellent time-waster!

Like...Simpsonizing some characters from New Who.

( D'oh! )

I saw the Harry Potter movie, and have some comments that have Book 7 spoilers.

( HP: Order of the Phoenix )

So I'm off work today. \o/ Have done laundry and have traveled to the *good* produce market, which is down the freeway. (I'm going to attempt a fresh corn salad that I'm making up, based on one I had for lunch the other day. Will post recipe in recipe community if it's good.)

I'd been thinking about going to the movies this afternoon, and maybe seeing Harry Potter. But then I noticed that the Simpsons movie is actually getting pretty good reviews. Have to say I'm a bit surprised. I mean, I really like the Simpsons and all, but you know how it goes when a TV show hits the big screen - it can be iffy. I wasn't even planning on seeing it, due to the presumed iffy.

So...hmm. Of course, I could see one today and one tomorrow...
