B R O K E B A C K M O U N T A I N Really great movie. Best I've seen all year. Not to mention Mr. Gyllenhaal and Mr. ledger happen to be super fine.

Memoirs of a Geisha - Arthur Golden Geisha - Liza Dalby Lullaby - Chuck Palahniuk Tess of the D'Urbervilles - Thomas Hardy Shogun - James Clavelle Siddhartha - Herman Hesse Alias Grace - Margaret Atwood And the 4th and 6th HP books. =P

James Dean is FREAKING HOT!!!! He's the hottest short guy. Ever. And it's kind of cool that he was bisexual.

Man on Fire is amazing.... and Selena is great, of course. Not too sure about Swimming Pool. I watched it and liked it. It left me a bit confused, but it's good for thought. Oh... another for my list: The Last Emperor

Oh! Such beauty! It's awesome seeing your favorite models/actresses in the same pic. Is Zhang involved with Maybelline?

Zoip! I forgot some! Pulp Fiction American History X Thirteen Ong Bak Kung Fu Hustle (plain good fun) Born into brothels Father of the Bride Moulin Rouge And I betcha I STILL forgot some...

Hmm... Big Fish Love Actually Brokeback Mountain Anchorman The Godfather series and I like a lot more, but these are the first that came to mind.

Napoleon Dynamite. Award for most slow-paced, boring "comedy" I have ever seen goes to this movie. Yeah, the characters were good ideas, but 97% of the movie made me want to chew my own foot off to run away (even though I wasn't shackled). Grr it makes me bored just thinking about it...

I guess you were misreading how I type (that's what the absence of emotion in words does...), because I simply wanted to switch the topic to something people could talk about relating to the content of the book. The argument about its lack of literary value was a good one, but pointless. Sorry if I sounded ''mean''(?) or something. Just to let you and everyone else know, if I make a comment that is less than positive (i.e. sassy or complaining about photoshopping techniques, or believing the claim that so-and-so has had such-and-such done), I would really appreciate it if people did not step in to tell me to "take a breather", or to inform me that I am ''like a thorn in the forum's side''. Rarely what I say is so disruptive or negative to warrant the kind of hassling you guys feel you mush dish out. Sorry about the sassy comment to GreedyGrandpa. Anyway... Good point about him wanting to kill Harry... That pretty much completely eradicated that theory... XP Hmm.... I guess I just don't like the corny, flimsy idea of Harry's mother's love guarding him from Voldemort's attack, and his powers being transferred thusly, etc. There's gotta be something more. That's just how JK rolls!

Yay! I finally saw Memoirs of a Geisha and Brokeback Mountain. Brokeback was, by far, the better movie. However, my anticipation and love for Memoirs since I was in fifth grade made watching the movie really special. My quick reviews: MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA Beautiful women, beautiful costumes, beautiful scenes, beautiful dance. Very pretty to look at, but I found the acting mediocre. Zhang and Gong did the best jobs with what they were given. Oddly clumped and altered storyline in relation to the actual book, I think the editing could have been a bit better. The way everyone spoke really got on my nerves..... no one spoke proper english, no one spoke japanese, and not everyone could speak english with a decent japanese accent. The effect was a strange combination of misspronounced english accented with british accents, american accents, mandarin accents, and a few that sounded vietnamese or french. Which was really weird. And when I heard the Japanese actors sounding Japanese, I just wished that everyone was speaking in a uniform manner. All in all, good movie. Entertaining, worth your money, beautiful. Just try to ignore the minor discrepencies in Japanese culture, and the weird sounding dialogue. BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN A tale of impossible love between two really hot cowboys. The main visuals are frequent closeups on Gyllenhaal and Ledger's faces, and gorgeous natural scenery. Both Jake and Heath did an AMAZING acting job in this movie. It also was really new in that it showed homosexuality in such a natural, non-judgemental light. No stereotypes were present, and I felt like Ang Lee did a good job of bringing the audience close to the characters. Unlike Geisha, which was much more detached (unfortunately), Brokeback feel more captivating and relateable. My only problems were that the end was a bit predictable, and that I wish Heath Ledger had done more with his facial expressions near the end of the movie, because I was relying on him to draw closure. All in all, great movie. Fresh. Simple. Pure. Make sure you rush to see this before the Oscars begin, because this WILL be there.

And?

I was 13, and I was on my school's annual east coast trip for the eighth graders. I was playing Truth or Dare with my 3 good friends, one of which I had had a crush on for YEARS as a little kid. Turns out, he had finally started liking me, so we got dared to kiss each other. It was awkward and adorable. <3

YAY! Someone finally made a thread for her! I love this lady, and she looks, in some pictures, almost exactly like my friend.

Uhh.... *ahem* I have a theory! I have a theory that Harry is one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. Makes good sense. And JK threatened to kill off Harry in the last book, so why not?

Best word to describe Gisele in any sense: IMPRESSIVE. O.O

Gisele looks very much like a statue or a powerful goddess in that first one.

This is like, the epitome of the perfect girl.

Gotta disagree there...

Finally got to downloading the first section of the VSFS 2005. All the ladies were wonderful! I can't say I really liked the lingerie that much this year, but of course the girls looked suuuper sexy in it. And of course Adriana with her perfect little boddy and pretty little nose strutted like a queen. I just realized even though Adriana weighs like 112 pounds, she has no weird hipbones, which I find awesome. And rare.

Wow! 2 hours of bike... congrats. I now wish I had an exercise bike... yarr. Of course really biking is fun, too. =) I love to dance. Dancing is completely awesome.

jog for an hour instead...its cheaper :yuckky: And boring!

Not a wallpaper, but hey, why not? A banner I made for my Xanga a while back:

No offense but... too bad. I say very little here, and have said positive things. I don't like when they over-airbrush her, she doesn't need it. Deal.

<_< They did some bad photoshopping of this one.

I'm sorry, sweetie. Good luck with the new diet! Sorry about the weight gain, things like that just happen I guess... if you need any support just let me know.
