dangermousieI am craving Remus/Tonks fic after Deahtly Hallows so started Fernwithy's awesome Shades, set during HBP. Yay. So good.
EEEEEE! Realized that I can do screencaps now and I really want to do screencaps of Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Date, with yummy angsty OTPing Takeshi Kaneshiro. Yes. Coming soon to a LJ near you.
Saw Hairspray last night. It was fluffy, contageously adorable film. I still prefer the 1980s version, but this was neat.
A whole bunch of trailers, but the only ones I remember are The Golden Compass and August Rush.
TGC: yawn. I tried reading the books and gave up, being bored with them, and also annoyed with the bratty main protagonist. Children protagonists rarely work for me. Mr. Mousie snarked that TGC is like the satanist’s version of Narnia and that makes sense, because I find Narnia boring too.
August Rush: it looks totally sappy and unrealistic but I don’t care. My brain has been rotted by kdrama, and I want! This is a story about an 11 year old music prodigy growing up in an orphanage who wants to use this music to find his parents. As many abandoned children do, he believes that his musician parents loved each other and loved him, and…because it is so kdrama, he is right, and the poor adult woobies (Keri Russell and Jonathan Rhys-Myers, all angsty and hot) have been searching for each other and/or him ever since. It’s going to be sap-fest, and I’ll love it.
"August Rush" tells the story of a charismatic young Irish guitarist (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and a sheltered young cellist (Keri Russell) who have a chance encounter one magical night above New York's Washington Square, but are soon torn apart, leaving in their wake an infant, August Rush, orphaned by circumstance. Now performing on the streets of New York and cared for by a mysterious stranger (Robin Williams), August (Freddie Highmore) uses his remarkable musical talent to seek the parents from whom he was separated at birth.

Also, I remembered reading about Tom ‘the loony’ Cruise being banned from filming somewhere in Germany, so I idly looked up what was the movie. And eeeeee! It’s Valkyrie, about some German generals’ unsuccesful plot to kill Hitler. This could be really good. I think TC is a lunatic, but I confess I like his movies.
In Bollywood news. How do you make me watch a movie about a girls’ hockey team when I loathe sports films? That’s how:
And on another ‘SRK makes me faint’ note, here are stills from ‘Suraj Hua Maddam’ song with him and Kajol (got these from a SRK website). *swooooon* Still the sexiest song in Bollywood.
(yup, I prefer clean-shaven, with an OTP)
