Yes, I'm back from the dead, sort of. But now: it's meme taimu!

Now that I seem to be on the upswing health-wise, I vote for seeing Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow this weekend! I have no idea if it will be any good, but it looks so pretty and stylistically interesting that I want to go anyway.

And in other news, there is an upcoming Fantastic Four movie... with Ioan Gruffudd as Reed Richards! ::boggle:: I am both fascinated and puzzled by this casting choice, because, well, he's just so young and pretty, and not at all dad-like! But acting-wise, he can totally pull it off. But on the other hand, there are some other choices they've made that are pretty terrifying. Also: Jessica Alba? Will make a horrific blond. But I'll probably still go see it, because I'm Marvel's bitch. Or Ioan's bitch. Take your pick. (yes, I *did* watch another chapter of Hornblower last night, why do you ask? ;p)

Some retard called 3 times between 8:45 and 9:15 this morning, and I seriously wanted to stab him, because they woke me up early with the first call, and continually hung up on the answering machine. When I finally caught the guy, it turned out that he had a wrong number! Jackass.

Thing is, I wouldn't even have minded that much, if it weren't for the fact that the phone was ringing off the hook yesterday, in exactly the same non-message-leaving fashion, while I was trying to sleep off the rest of my fever. If this moron was responsible for my not being able to get any decent rest during the day, I owe him many more stabbings.

I hate the phone. :p The people who call me are almost never the people I actually *want* to hear from.

Most of the FF cast had been set for a while. Looking at that page, though, Jessica Alba as Susan Storm is fairly new, and boggles my mind. What? The? Hell? Maybe they were running too close to the casting deadline... I'll still go see it, too. The only comics I read more than Spiderman growing up were the Fantastic Four. I wonder if they will base it more off the original Fantastic Four, or the new one. Hm.

Sky Captain was a "fun" movie, that would have fit better with it's original July release date. It's not the best, but it is stylish and even unique, and not a lot of films can say that.

Hmm...

Actually, here's a picture of the Fantastic Four in costume:

Jessica Alba actually looks like she can pull it off.

Is it just me or does The Human Torch look considerably older than Mr. Fantastic?
Maybe it's just cause he's furrowing his brow.

_drinkyoupretty writes very concise and generally amusing entries. And has much better taste in music than I do.

Apparently owlsamantha's weakness is spelling.

You were listening to The New Pornographers!
Which reminds me, I'm totally gonna start up that buy_this_album community again(although I think I will not be able to title it that). Are you still interested in joining almost seven months later?

[skeets.livejournal.com]

YES. I'm making enough money to keep buy_this_album from being any sort of problem. :)

And I agree re: The Human Torch vs. Mr. Fantastic. Torch is working some crazy Luke-Perry-esque forehead wrinkles, while Reed looks all pristine and young.

Ioan is awesome, so I can't bring myself to suggest throwing him out, but they should definitely have gone younger(-looking) with some of the other actors, if they liked him that much for the role.

[sonnys-burning.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was very weirded out that Ioan is eight years older than him. Although, the difference between 23 and 31 is not a huge one in terms of appearance.

Worst-looking FF EVAR.

Or, maybe not, but they're not working for me. And Reed's face is so young, those gray temples look like a bad Halloween costume. :P

[skeets.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's looking rather grim, especially seeing as they've switched to a fairly dubious writer. Sigh, it's too bad.
