I know we can make this relationship work

I watched Grosse Pointe Blank last night for the first time in ages. God, I love that film.

It is indeed an utterly brilliant movie.

You must see it, it's brilliant. I feel like I should send an emergency delivery of the DVD up to you.

Re: icon, I'm going to start mistaking you for [livejournal.com profile] glitterboy1 now.

He has a non-pink gun one.
;D

In fact, I thought he had a non-pink gun one plus text, but it seems to be not there no more.

(why, yes, I am a saddo)

And I presume to call myself a film fan. So many I haven't seen, it's criminal. After today, I have, however, seen Van Helsing, which is 2 hours of my life I'll never get back.

Whoops, so he does. I only remembered the pink one.

[identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com 2004-10-24 12:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I had heard... mixed things about Van Helsing, and avoided it. Sounds like I made the right decision.

Sky Captain went off before I got a chance to see it - I'm really disappointed about that, I'd been looking forward to it so much.

[identity profile] matildabj.livejournal.com 2004-10-24 12:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh that's a bummer. It was great. You must see it when it comes out on DVD.

Avoid Van Helsing, unless your very life depends on it.

Eveyone has John Cusak icons. Why? Joan is the real star of that film!

It's true, it's true - but, see the pretty!

Ph33r the p1nk!

Anyway, I occasionally mistake him for [livejournal.com profile] katlinel, and vice versa, so maybe this will teach me to stop and read the actual username.

Or, I could just make myself an icon of Brad Dourif and pretend to be [livejournal.com profile] archbishopm. Yeah.

I think VH might be something I'd watch on a plane.

I watched Austin Powers III or whatever it was called on a plane. I still want those two hours back. Mind-numbing tedium would have been preferable.

Psychopaths kill for no reason! I kill for money. It's a job.

That sounds strangely like the Assassins' Guild; we do it for the money, and because we value life, we do it for a great deal of money!

I was really surprised at how short the Sky Captain run was. The BoT and I only got to see it because (a) we noticed just in time that it was nearly finished and (b) we were sufficiently motivated to get up for a 10am Sunday screening the day after we got back from holiday.

It was worth it. So sorry that you didn't get to see it :( Maybe one of these screenings is feasible?

Eeep! You poor thing!

n fact, I thought he had a non-pink gun one plus text, but it seems to be not there no more.

You mean this one? Oddly enough, I deleted it yesterday when I was uploading my shiny new Firefly icons. But, in response to popular demand, it's back again. :-)

Not sad. Just over-observant.

A fabulous choice of film!

God, that's one of my favourite lines in the whole film. While he's at the psychiatrist's. Just how brilliant is this film?!

It's very easy to do.

By the time I was free, it was a couple of late night showings, and Mr A. wasn't free to come with me. Thanks for that link; I'm hoping it will swing by the Arts cinema in a couple of months. I guess it's not too bad watching DVDs on our telly.
