lo, there came a fiery chariot

[phineasjones]

ahhhh. morning. bordering on afternoon now, but i still like it.

came to many conclusions after yesterday's activities:
- starbuckle rocks my world. yes, folks, she edited out the commercials.
- mtv thinks that its viewers are complete fucking idiots... may not be far off
- jack black is repulsively humorous
- elijah and orlando are pretty
- josh hartnett is a big, dumb jock
- i must be old... bc of my reaction to mtv awards... especially what passed for musical entertainment. i enjoyed kelly - the way i would enjoy a good friend of mine singing karaoke. white stripe or whatever were cute but talentless. and i have nothing to say at this point about eminem. talent, music. maybe... outside a small portion of the populace, these things don't matter.
- judy should live in my house and read slash. she's so curious... i've almost got her...
- marriage is stupid.
- my dad knows everything.

today is all about projects...
- icons! i have been in a creative slump on this... scottxwl needs 'em and i definitely need new ones.
- prepare and mail a little something for starbuckle
- find my laptop and get to those deleted scenes on the hp dvd. (thanks, scottxwl)
- do some unpacking in the still disastrous study
- take judy to the chiropractor. yup. again.

um, starbuckle? i think you should tell scottxwl about the wonders of reading hp. is stubborn like you, i think, though for different reasons. maybe you can lure him in. *g*

hey, editing out the commericials was easy -- i got to watch the whole thing again! i heart irish!Orli.

about eminem, i like him in general, i like his witty lyrics and retarded attitude -- it works for me -- but he does better in the studio and in his videos -- i've never been impressed by one of his live performances. rap just doesn't have anything going for it live. it's meant to be blasted in a car, not wibbled from a microphone in a stadium, IMHO. -- the exact opposite of 'n sync.

with the preparing and the mailing to me (squee!) if i ask nicely will you send it to me in denver? i really want to get mail out there. :::bats eyelashes:::

will help teach scottxwl about the potter love if you want me to. there is much love to spread!

yeah, yeah, splunge for me too

1. yay starbuckle!!!

2. mtv doesn't just think its views are dumb fucks, it has conducted extesive research using focus groups and surveys to scientifically determine that its viewers are dumb fucks (bty- loved road rules and sorority life last night).

3. you are so right about jack black, even sarah laughed when we watched shallow hal, she knew it was wrong but she couldn't help herself. (if the moral of the story is that looks aren't everything, then why did the camera which is ordinarily supposed to have a sort of objective view see only slim women even when it wasn't obviously trying to show the audience jack's character's perspective?).

4. if you say so.

5. even though black hawk down was a really racist movie in the sense that by only telling the american side of the story from the perspective of american gis it made the somalis look like a bunch of animals, i think josh hartnet did a good job in it.

6. i thought the white stripes were great, but i only know as much about music as the average field mouse.

7. i agree.

8. marriage is kinda stupid, but i still want to get married, and i want you to get married too so that i can be in your wedding party.

9. i agree.

My Harry Potter stance

[scottxwl.livejournal.com]

So many moons ago, about a year before the movie, I thought to myself "I wonder what all this Harry Potter brouhaha is all about?" So I went to the bookstore, picked up the first book, read the first page and thought "Ah. I get it." It looked like it would be a really fun book to read.

And believe you me, I WANT to read the books.

BUT, while I love books to death (see my degree in English Literature), movies are my PASSION. Movies sing to my soul (said the atheist.) And I thoroughly believe through my own experiences that reading a book can ruin a movie, but seeing a movie doesn't ruin a book. Books pretty much cannot be ruined. There's just too much to them that a movie cannot express. If I hear that a movie is being planned for a book I want to read, I avoid readig the book until after I have seen the movie.

And thus, I want to see the Harry Potter movies. I eventually want to read the books.

Can anybody think of a book that was ruined by the movie? (Movie first, book second)
