For once, not about Asian entertainment.

Ebay is wonderful (You can find the oddest things there. This is how I got my hands on a Russian dubbed version of a 1970s French mini based on Countess de Monsoreau which I saw as a kid) but sometimes it's evil. I ended up bidding on something which I later found elsewhere for much cheaper. Luckily, I just checked the bidding stats and I've been outbid. Yay. Saved.

Has anyone else been seeing all the CW posters, pushing its shows, green and white posters with face of lead(s) in the middle with a "Free to be ____" slogans. I keep wondering why VM's is "free to be fearless." True, Veronica is no timid mouse, but fearless? Screaming i the fridge? Freaking out in the Fitzpatrick bar? On the roof in NP? She is a brave girl, true. But fearless? I think not. Odd. But the photo is adorable so who cares (I was also amused to notice that someone drew glasses, beard and mustache on Tom Welling's face in the ad for Smallville).

Btw, is "Devil Wears Prada" worth watching? I've heard good things about it, but with my preference for angst and prominent male characters, this flick seems like the anti-me. Hmmmm.

Devil Wears Prada is interesting, it's quirky and amusing and time-passing, but if you're looking for a really good movie then I wouldn't bother with it. It's amusing and there are a lot of parts that will make you laugh, you won't get bored while watching it, but it's one of those movies that has no point to it whatsoever and it's typical.

I could guess most of the lines before they were said and the ending was so sappy and expected.. meh, before I get in too far, it's a good movie but very typical and pointless.

Thanks for letting me know. Sounds rather dull so am staying away.

I think Supernatural's is "Free to be scared", which makes me wonder why anyone would WANT to be free to be scared.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Thanks for nothing, CW people :P

GUH.

*thud*

Hot icon :)

Indeed :)

Hm, I found Devil Wears Prada to be a little better than I expected. It's no awesome film achievement, but it's not so bad. :P

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Heeee. Not exactly a ringing endorcement (just like the rest of them) so I think with my 'to watch' list already epic, I am gonna skip. Thanks!

I liked Devil a lot. More than I expected to. Pretty clothes, pretty hair, pretty mindless, but I enjoyed it.

I think I'll rent it later where I can ff through it. I am on an angst kick lately so it would probably not work for me...

I'm guessing they mean the fearless in the sense that Veronica's brave and not afraid to do stupid things, as opposed to acutally without fear. DWP was surprisingly funny but didn't exactly linger in my consciousness for long.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess that makes sense. And I think I am going to stay away from DWP then.

I can't get over the "size 6 is the new 14" talking point in Devil Wears Prada. It rubs me the wrong way and I just know I wouldn't be able to sit through it.

The only CW poster I've seen was for Gilmore Girls, but I actually think the ad campaign is kind of cute. Even if it's not always spot on, the marketing department at least put some thought into it!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

That icon is adorable.

can't get over the "size 6 is the new 14" talking point in Devil Wears Prada.

Whaaaaaaa? I guess it means I am 14 now :P

*squee*

I know. I'm a 4 or a 6 and the fact that they SAY this in the movie is absolutely ridiculous and insulting to me. First of all, I hate that a woman above a size 8 is considered obese in this culture, because you can be absolutely stunning regardless of size, but giving this unrealistic "you must be THIIIIN" message to young girls everywhere upsets me. Thin can indeed be beautiful, but so can curvaceous. Anne Hathaway was a size 6 when she began filming Devil, and, per her charachter, she lost about twenty pounds while she was filming so that she could fit into a 0 or a 2 for the end sequences. And was that really healthy for her? Gah. I get so annoyed at Hollywood sometimes.
