The Show-Off Film Collection List~

Oh, Happy Chinese New Year! Let’s start my (supposedly) bad-luck Goat Year with the now-mandatory Letterboxd list of my film collection~

I have a really weird history with films– born in the late 80s, you’d think I would’ve grown watching loads of 90s kids stuff, but I actually grew up with a lot of Silly Symphonies (which were released in the 30s) and loads of Disney 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s stuff, plus a lot of more grown up 80s movies. Poltergeist, The Thing, The Fly and The Stuff were particularly scary stuff (and I’m pretty sure I was scared of yogurt or white stuff at some point).

I don’t ever remember buying any original VHS tape, except for the rare birthday gift of a Disney’s Sing-Along Songs chapter or that X-Men tape I have. My first DVDs buys were Coyote Ugly, She’s All That and Loser — you can’t blame me. I was a 15-year-old girl. The collection grew bigger, and possibly exploded during my years abroad. I’m nearing my 500th movie.

31-Day Movie Meme: Anomalous Edition

September 8, 2010 — 2 Comments

Ahh… I hope I can finish this post in less than 30min. LOL Or sure I’ll be whining with the people at Anomalous Material for posting so many Memes xD

But we’re lazy, so we’re doing a 31-day Meme into one post. Just like we did on the TV Meme… only with more pictures! Because I think that TV Meme needs photos, right?

1. A Sequel that Shouldn’t Have Been Made

You know there should be something wrong when all the sequels went straight to DVD. That’s a sad sad ending for a good cheesy film like Bring it On. The sequels bring so much shame when mentioning Bring it On, which by the way had Kirsten Dunst and Eliza Dushku… and Gabrielle Union. And cheers. I said Brrrr it’s cold in here! There must be some Clovers in the atmosphere~~~ LOL a perfect introduction to setup what the cheese will be about, and a more poppy-end-of-the 90s-rendition of Hey, Mickey!

SAG 2010 Nominations!

December 17, 2009 — Leave a comment

Yes, more nominations! More awards… get a grip. This is the Screen Actors Guild Awards~

The round up? Very few surprises… Up in the Air, Precious, and Inglourious Basterds got 3 nods… the most between movies. The one nod that’s a bit weird is Nine, which got only a nod for acting to then get the Best Ensemble? Since it’s an acting award… the Best Ensemble IS Best Film. Get it?

On the TV categories… 30 Rock, The Closer and Dexter *jumpy bloody claps* got 3 nods each too. Also! Jumpy claps for Glee who got a nod on the Comedy Ensemble!!! Yay!

And YAY! Toni Collette!!!

Always the ubber long nomination lists… – I’m not much of an Emmy knower, but it’s always good to keep track. Plus, Neil Patrick Harris is hosting x) – I’ll watch it if only for him, maybe he’ll throw in a Dr. Horrible joke. LOL

Apparently, Tina Fey’s got 22 nods!!! – though I haven’t counted yet…
there are really too many categories… xD

Drama Series
Big Love
Breaking Bad
Damages
Dexter (woohoo!!)

How I Met your Mother
The Office

And a hell yeah! for Toni Collette for getting a Best Comedy Actress, alongside Weeds’ Mary-Louise Parker, 30 Rock’s Tina Fey (!!) xD – Sarah Silverman (for the Sarah Silverman Program), Samantha Who’s’ Christina Applegate, and The New Adventures of Old Christine’s Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

Hell Yeahz! for Dexter’s Michael C. Hall (!!), Hugh Laurie for House – I’m sorry but I would love to be an ass such as him, if only I were that talented. LOL – And OMG! Jim Parsons!!!! I don’t watch The Big Bang Theory, but I love Sheldon!!! Ha! – and I see some conflict of interest here… but Neil Patrick Harris for Best Supporting Comedy! xD

And OMG! Supporting Comedy Actress! Kristin Chenoweth for Pushing Daisies (!!!!!), Amy Poehler, Kristin Wiig, Jane Krakowski, Weeds’ Elizabeth Perkins, and Vanessa Williams. Interesting category.

Pushing Daisies also got 4 other nods! (for makeup, hairstyle, costume and art direction) !!! (t=5)
