Last night, Netflix got rid of 20 movies at midnight (July 1). Today, they're adding 45 movies. Both lists can be seen here.

Two of the movies removed were James Bond (Sean Connery) ones. I'd seen them several times before.

Of the movies added, I'm looking forward to seeing The Hunt for Red October and Legends of the Fall. Maybe some of the others, but definitely those two.

I've seen a few people do this, so yeah...

1) Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/bands that you've had an obsessive fannish love or interest in at some time in your life.

2) Have your f-list guess your favorite character/member from each item.

3) When someone guesses correctly, strike through the item and put the name of your favorite character next to it.

Here are the Fandoms. Some will be easy some you will NEVER have an even easier time guessing. HAVE FUN!

I'm flipping through the channels and stop at something because the plot had Navy in it.

Cinderella Liberty

Peacetime sailor John J. Baggs is unable to get paid or receive new orders because somehow the U.S. Navy has lost his file. He is able to come and go from the base until curfew.
One night in a bar, he spots an attractive woman hustling guys at a pool table. He challenges her himself and develops an interest in the woman, Maggie, who turns out to be a prostitute living in a tenement with a young black son, Doug.
Baggs begins spending time with Maggie at the apartment, where Doug is often left to fend for himself. His attempts at creating a normal life for her succeed for a while, but Maggie cannot change the way she is. Doug, suspicious and cynical at first, bonds with Baggs, who devotes his free time to the kid and even gets his teeth fixed. But both know that soon Baggs will be reassigned and gone for good.
The Navy's mix-up continues to baffle Baggs until one day a veteran sailor named Forshay not only finds the file, but volunteers to change places with Baggs and ship out under a false name. Baggs and Doug may not have Maggie around any more, but they've got each other.


Of course now I want to see this as a McDanno fic. oh and James Caan is in it! haha

Steve would be John J. Baggs
Danny as Maggie
Grace as Doug

I don't know who I'd pick for Forshay, though. Joe White, Nick Taylor or Freddie Hart

Also, I don't know that I'd have Danny as a prostitute. Maybe have him undercover as one, though.

I have 8 days to finish my h50_holidayswaph50_holidayswap fic! It's due on December 24th!

Since I scrapped (sort of) the last 2 fics I had in mind for this, I have a grand total of zero words for this new idea.

Also, I know I was supposed to have contributed twice to [community profile] fannish_advent/fannish_adventfannish_advent, but I just haven't had the motivation. sucks hardcore! But I did download some Polar Express screencaps so I can make some icons and hopefully post them before the comm closes for the season. *crosses fingers*

Anyways...I'm gonna do some writing now.

PS it seems my work internet speed is back to where it should be. I think it slowed down so much because I'd done a lot of downloading. My laptop can't/won't connect to my sister's wireless and she makes a lot of noise when one of her kids asks to use her laptop to type up some school papers, so I'd rather not have that annoyance directed towards me.

This morning I went to the dentist for a follow up check up from the deep cleaning I had last month. My gums are doing better, but I still have an infection that's making my gums bleed. You poke at my gums with something sharp, of course they're going to bleed! Since having the deep clean, I've brushed my teeth 3 times a day and flossed twice and you know what...NO BLEEDING! but the dentist says the infection is still there and my broken teeth really need to come out because they're causing or contributing to the infection. So December 14 is my next appointment. At that appointment an impression of my teeth will be taken and 2 teeth will be extracted. Then I figure that every couple of months I'll go back to have the remaining 4 broken teeth removed. Hoping that by next September I'll be done with the expensive dental work and can just deal with the regular cleaning every 3 or 4 months.

Got a couple of movies from Redbox. Battleship and Starship Troopers: Invasion. I don't usually watch a movie that's apart of a series without seeing the ones before it, but the Starship Troopers: Invasion trailer looked really interesting. I was also surprised there weren't other movies that I wanted to see. I usually get 4 or 5 movies out at a time. This time it was obviously only 2.

Umm got a call from a collection agency while I was at the dentist. I don't know why as I don't have any bills in collections. So I call them back and they said they don't have my name in their system? So I ask about my dad's name thinking it might be in regards to his student loan and his name wasn't in the system either. Okay, weird. I'm also very curious. I might call back and ask for the person who called (I didn't ask for the person when I first called) to see what's going on.

Went to Costco and got a membership. I really don't need it, but having it will come in handy in getting food while staying with my sister and also for church dinners. Plus, since I can drive, I don't have to rely on my parents to take me if I need to pick up cat liter (Costco seems to be the only place that sells the brand that doesn't cause my cat problems). However, there are several downsides to having a membership. The books and movie section. No joke, there were about 20 books I wanted to get! Sadly, the movies I wanted were in blu ray only and i don't have a blu ray player. Also, I can buy stamps and movie theater tickets at costco. I see myself going to the movies more in 2013. Costco doesn't take Visa credit card (American Express is their card of choice), so I have to make sure I have the cash or money in checking account to write a check or use my debit card. The last of American Express will keep me from spending more than I can afford that's for sure.

I know I owe fills for Trick or Treating and they'll be worked on tomorrow. I downloaded some fall kits and need to unzip them and see what strikes my fancy to make things. Also, I need to write another 500 words so that willow_fae_20willow_fae_20 can fill another of my bookmarked comment_ficcomment_fic prompts. Everyone should read Still Allowed to Worry that she wrote.

Thank you dante_s_helldante_s_hell, bluedelftbluedelft, tkeylasunsettkeylasunset, and willow_fae_20willow_fae_20 (and to anyone else I forgot to thank) for the virtual gifts

Watching The Avengers with people who won't shut up!

Just saw the trailer/preview clip thingy for Act of Valor and holy crap!

forget renting it. I need to own it. and watch it over and over again.

also, I think I'm done posting for the day/night. I'm going to watch the rest of this movie (I picked another crappy one!), read a fic, bookmark some fic to read tomorrow on the way to work and go to sleep.
simplyn2deep: (Default)
a fic can be all sorts of good (when it started) but as the chapters go on, it gets boring.

perhaps due to the author posting once a week, or annoyed by some thrown in (in my opinion) relationship, or some other unknown reason, but I'm really bored with a lot of the fics that I subscribe to.

The only real reason, I feel, that I continue reading them is because I have to finish reading them (unless they are too far out there, then I stop and wait until the final chapter has been posted, and read that.

also, this movie I'm watching, Intruders (with Clive Owen) is also kind of boring. I might give it another go another time.

Sunday I used redbox for the first time when I went to the grocery store. I rented 21 Jump Street (had some funny parts, but I think I was expecting more?), Wrath of the Titans (I keep forgetting that Clash of the Titans is first) and The Devil Inside (this one was meh and a bit predictable towards the end). Today I returned those and got Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance and Suing the Devil.

THEN! when I get home, I have 4 packages from Amazon waiting for me! 5 movies that I ordered but wasn't expecting until later this week! I got the first 3 movies in the Fast & Furious franchise, Gone in 60 Seconds (fuckin' finally! I thought we owned it for the longest time but could never find it!) and Mercy. I'll save these for later this week and over the weekend

Red Dawn

When I heard there was going to be a remake of the Patrick Swazye, Charlie Sheen, Jennifer Grey made Red Dawn, I was kind of upset. Remakes tend to suck but there is the rare occassion when it doesn't.

Then I put it out of my mind...until I saw some people asking for screencaps from the trailer in one of the capping communities I belong to and today I saw the lovely picture of Chris Hemsworth. If he's in it, I need to see it!

So I went in search of the trailer (for some reason, embedding the actual trailer isn't working)

holy crap! I think this might be better than the original...AND WILL YUN LEE (Sang Min on Hawaii Five-0)! oh, and Tom Cruise's son is in it as well

will be adding some graphics made from the trailer later today

A couple weeks ago I watched Captain America. I thought it was too slow, but it was more funny than it was meant to be? I don't know.

Last night I watched Thor. it was a much better super hero movie! Action all the way through and lightly peppered with funny stuff.

I think I'm ready to watch The Avengers even though I haven't seen either Iron Man movie (and have no real desire to) and I haven't seen the Hulk (any versions of it).

I just finished watching the Nero Wolfe series. I really liked it and sort of wish there was more. I have Gamer, Natural Born Killers and Where the Wild Things Are to watch...as well as whatever other pre-ordered movies are set to be delivered to me in the coming weeks. I need something to help me get through all the packing I've been doing.

Hmm...what to have to breakfast. I'd like to have a bowl of cereal, but I don't think what we have (stale raisin bran isn't as appealing as my dad thinks) and well driving...let's not go there.

or you know, limit me to $100 a month.

I just ordered my nephew's bday (8-5) gift and my niece's bday (9-6) gift.

Also ordered Thor, pre-ordered Snow White and the Huntsman, Prometheus, Abe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and Marvel's The Avengers. (love the amazon gift cards I won in raffles!)

Waiting to hear back from the BFF about the sex of her baby before I go even more crazy with the spending.

I finally decided that I need to try Redbox out so after I deposit my check, I'm going to the store and renting Captain America and Thor. Also going to pick up a frozen pizza and some soda. Yup, tonight's going to be a movie night.

Yesterday I bought Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and The Aslyum mockbuster Abraham Lincoln vs Zombies. Watched the zombies movie last night. that was kind of slow going ha! and the end...it was meh. but I liked that I was able to recognize things from history, even with the Asylum's spin on it. Later this week I'll watch Sherlock Holmes.

Time for lunch! hmmm...what will we be having today?

Dark Shadows was an okay movie. there could be a sequel with the way it ended.

I was able to make a note of some of the movies from the previews that I wanted to see
Argo October 12
The true story of the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis--the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades. (made me think of Wag the Dog)

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter June 22
The secret life of our nation's favorite president...as history's greatest hunter of the undead.

Gangster Squad September 7
A chronicle of the LAPD's fight to keep East Coast Mafia types out of Los Angeles in the 1940s and 50s.

Snow White & the Huntsman June 1
In a twist to the fairy tale, the Huntsman ordered to take Snow White into the woods to be killed winds up becoming her protector and mentor in a quest to vanquish the Evil Queen.

Prometheus June 8
A team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.

there was ONE movie I NEVER plan on seeing, and that's the Adam Sandler movie. a thousand times NO

going to see Dark Shadows on Saturday with Lora, Colleen and John!

Lora gets first run tickets from her job for $7 and Colleen mentioned she wanted to see Dark Shadows. She also mentioned the Avengers movie, but I said no. I needed to see the others that came before it first. So we decided on Dark Shadows.

I think we're either going to get food stuffs before or after the movie, but there will definitely be eating!

bah humbug

I think I'm getting sick.

mostly runny nose (and sinus drainage into the back of my throat) and sneezing.

oh, I've been downing water like crazy all day

currently working on some icons, a few fics and planning Mother's Day lunch at the church. That's some multi-tasking I have going on.

My parents went to see The Avengers. I wonder if it'll make sense to them. I believe they've only seen the Iron Man movies. I'm going to watch Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightening Thief (I can't wait for Sea of Monsters to be released next year!).

anyone know where I can get caps from the movie The Back Up Plan?

or

any pics of Alex holding the babies from that movie.

yeah that's what I really need/want.

eta found some caps that are okay for me to use right now, but I don't too much like the quality
