Whoo! :3 That was a great Thanksgiving, even though I was token meat-eater. X3 My roommate, Comma and his girlfriend baked 4 pies, made a salad, stuffed a pumpkin, made spinach strudel, and baked a giant Unturkey (basically a wheat gluten vegan turkey substitute), and it was a great dinner. :3 We invited Jhonen Red and Erin who happened to both be vegetarian, so for once in my life I was token meat-eater. XD But I was prepared, for I bought half a pound of deli-sliced turkey breast and munched on that for lunch. :3 So I can still claim I had turkey on Thanksgiving. XD
After a very filling dinner (with a lot of leftovers) we watched Hook. XD Great Thanksgiving movie, really. Perfect amount of cheesiness. I have this nice little quote about it from Wikipedia for you: Due to Dustin Hoffman being regarded as a difficult actor to work with directors, there was a sense of tension on set between him and Spielberg. As a joke during filming, Hoffman and Bob Hoskins added a homosexual subtext between Captain Hook and Smee, much to Spielberg's horror.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me. :3 Ah, the gay pirate tradition.
On a spontaneous sort of whim, Comma, the girlfriend, and I went to go see "The Fountain" today. Mostly interested in it because of the pretty and the director, which was incidentally the same as "Requiem for a Dream." Unfortunately it's one of those movies that tries to be too pretentiously profound, and at its end you find yourself wonderful whether or not you really liked the film, and not so much ruminating on its themes. :/ I probably wouldn't tell most of my friends to go see it unless they got stoned first, cause it is pretty. :3 And Hugh Jackman is amazingly hot in it. o_O *fans self*
If you're into club-you-over-the-head symbolism, pretty CGI, deciphering metaphors, and non-linear plotlines, you'll like "The Fountain." I probably won't go seeing it again, even though I sort of borderline barely liked it. :/ Hook was better, IMHO. Time to go watch "Borat" and "Casino Royale" this weekend too, methinks. XD
And I close with some comments about FFXII, now that I'm 47 hours in and have about 1/3 of the game left:
- Gee thanks, Reddas. A little help here? No? Just going to stand and watch? Bastard. :(
- Balthier, you are cute, snarky, and sexy. And I see where you got your cute and your snarky from. *fangirl*
- Vaan, why can you only remember one piece of information at a time? :/ Retard.
- Reddas Manse? MANSE?! I had to go look that word up because "manse" in my head is a misspelling of something else. :/
