w00t! King Kong as an 87% fresh review on Rotten Tomatoes! I really really really want to see this movie. Baltimore Sun gave it a B+ but I'm not going to read the review as I tend to absorb the reviewers thoughts and then try to figure them out during the movie instead of just watching the movie. (and we all know I'm a pretty tough reviewer myself so I don't need any help hehe).

We have some fun "wintry mix" weather in the forecast for tomorrow, which of course, is the first day I have the afternoon free to shop. *shakes fist at the sky*

Library called me this morning and switched my schedule around, so instead of working 5-9, I'm here now, 11-5, which I'm actually pretty happy about. It will be nice to be home before 9:30! Lost is a rerun again tonight, so that means we can watch House from last night! brilliant!

I was working on a set of Last Unicorn icons last night, but I couldn't think of any text. Most of them are of the butterfly...might have to dig out my copy of the book and look for some lines to quote. Though most of his lines are quotes from other things! haha.

As you can probably tell from this post, it's a tad slow on the desk right now...expect a post from me harassing you to jump thru some hoops and amuse me very soon....

YOU HAVE to do this line for the butterfly.

"Listen! No, don't listen to me! Listen!"

I used to write that on notebooks in highschool.

I am a roving gambler, how do you do?

Washington Post gave KK a fantastic review. The critic loved it. Said Jack Black is just himself though, no acting involved on his part, really. lol I can't wait to see this movie! *squee* Friend of mine went to see it at midnight last night already. =P

Jack Black is the new Jeff Goldbloom! haha. I love him in every movie, but he always plays Jeff Goldbloom!

i want to see it noooooooooow! This week is too crazy though. I'm sure it will be in theaters for awhile.

I wasn't sure I wanted to see King Kong because the trailers didn't do much for me. Then you made a comment about it...and I realized that it's Peter Jackson and I LIKE Peter Jackson. He's a damn good film-maker and plus, King Kong is the movie that got him into film-making which means I bet he did a kick ass job with it. So now I really wanna go see it. :)

we went and saw it last night :D I'll post my thoughts later! I'll tell you now though, I am very happy with it!

thought I'd help you out with some quotes for Last Unicorn:

"she shines/in a world full of ugliness" - NIN

"Girl, You'll be a woman soon" - Urge Overkill (this one I think is so funny and true, and it's from Pulp Fiction"

"Magic do as you will" is actually a nice quote.... maybe use it for a kissing scene? I actually think of all these ideas you might like that.

"Anyway.... I love you" - Another one I like from the movie.

"My name is Prince, and I am funky" - one guess who I intend that for, lol

"I want to, but I can't go back" - NIN

"ocean pulls me close" - NIN

"in arms of undertow" - NIN

"I can still feel you/even so far away" - NIN

I think I've given you plenty to work with maybe, lol. Maybe too much. lol

If you do get around to shopping tomorrow afternoon, give me a call. LASt I checked I have NO work tomorrow. Just drop me a line if you feel like it.

I really need to stop playing WoW and finish those icons. OH! and get this - someone posted caps of King Kong today, the entire movie! So I need all your NIN quotes again! :) Unless you want to dabble in the fine art of 100x100-ness.

Sure, this whole song "WE're In This Together" reminds me of the movie:

i've become impossible
holding on to when
when everything seemed to matter more
the two of us
all used and beaten up
watching fate as it flows down the path we have chose

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
if the world should break in two
until the very end of me
until the very end of you

awake to the sound as they peel apart the skin
they pick and they pull
trying to get their fingers in
well they've got to kill what we found
well they've got to hate what they fear
well they've got to make it go away
well they've got to make it disappear

the farther i fall i'm besdie you
as lost as i get i will find you
the deeper the wound i'm inside you
for ever and ever i am a part of

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
if the world should break in two
unti lthe very end of me
until the very end of you

all that we were is gone we have to hold on
all that we were is gone we have to hold on
when all our hope is gone we have to hold on
all that we were is gone but we can hold on

you and me
we're in this together now
none of them can stop us now
we will make it through somehow
you and me
even after everything
you're the queen and i'm the king
nothing else means anything

-----the other quotes I thought of were:

"she shines
in a world full of ugliness
she matters
when everything is meaningless"

"i won't let you fall apart"

if I think of any others I'll let you know..... I particularly like the quote in teh first song about the queen and king.... seems most appropriate for King Kong.
