Euge, I couldn't help myself....



OR, AS I THINK IT SHOULD BE CALLED, INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS FUCK YEAH

YOU MAY HAVE GUESSED THAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS FILM. SO I PICSPAMMED THE FASSY TRAILER :D

( LOTS OF SCREENCAPS FUCK YEAH )

So I think it is pretty obvious that I am already this film's bitch. IT NEEDS TO BE AUGUST 20TH YESTERDAY. Also I bought Empire today (ugh) and there was a whole section on the film so I'll scan it and post it later. FUCK YEAH.

I need to settle down.

ETA. Ok this is a bit of a weird edit to be adding on but I just read about Robert McNamara dying and I just thought I should make a mention of him, his place in history is rather important and tbh I pretty much spend more time teaching about him than LBJ & JFK, and for some reason the news has unsettled me a bit, even though he was 93. RIP.



If you do ever get the opportunity and haven't seen it yet, watch The Fog of War, one of the best documentaries I've ever watched.

FFFFFUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK



:(

Robin Soderling def. Rafael Nadal

6-2 6-7 6-4 7-6

WAT
:D

I am pleased I woke up to watch that, hahahahahahaha
Nothing against Rafa (I used to hate him, now I like him) but anything that helps Roger....
Also DIAF Andy Murray, ugh

Lest we forget

It's Anzac Day, the most important day of the year for Australians & Kiwis, or at least this Australian and all the Aussies and Kiwis I know. We commemorate a military catastrohpe for the influence it had upon our burgeoning sense of nationhood, and celebrate it as a sterling example of mateship, courage, loyalty, and all of those qualities we would like to see in ourselves as a country, even if we don't display them quite so much these days.

( They were young, straight of limb, true of eye, steady, and aglow. )

And as I do every year, I will encourage you all to track down and watch the film Gallipoli.



LOL this trailer is atrocious. There used to be another trailer available with the Jean-Michel Jarre music from the film in it, which I liked much more, but some cockhead took it down.

This (along with the Sound of Music, shhh) is my favourite film of all time. It follows two young mates as they enlist during WWI and make their way across the world to the front. I'll love this film forever, and watch it without fail every Anzac Day. I love it because I am a walking cliche, and because it embodies all those things I talked about earlier, and even after multiple viewings, it will never lose its emotional resonance. It also has two of the most gorgeous young men in the lead roles, Mark Lee, and Mel Gibson, back when he was the most handsome man on the planet and slightly less...eccentric. I'll love him forever for this film ♥ And it's a Peter Weir film, and he's virtually incapable of making a poor film.

ALSO.

Hi. Southland. Marry me.
I love this show.



I can't actually believe how awesome Ryan Atwood and Bull Randleman are in a police car together. It's actually...perfect. Bull USE THEIR NAMES ALEX John is awesome. Like, his character is beyond awesome. He steals every scene he is in. I like him better than Bull hahahahahaha. And Oliver reappeared in this episode, goddamnit. And Ben is SLAYING ME. The scene at the end. It was like Ryan Atwood all growed up and mature. Tom Everett Scott's character continues to be a creeper.

Show, you and I really need to consider procreation. I do love you.
