i can't see me loving nobody but you

I watched "Imagine Me & You" last night because [livejournal.com profile] dollsome told me to, and OH MY GOOOOOD. The story is just so enchanting and cleverly written, and though it does drift off into the land of slight cheesiness near the end, it is just so, SO, superb (and "Happy Together" - ONE OF MY FAVORITEST SONGS IN THE UNIVERSE - is the montage song at the end!).

And the acting, Jesus Christ. The cast is fantastic and while some parts make you feel like you are about to explode with GLEE, some parts hurt so much it's like they yanked your heart out of your chest and put it through a paper shredder. All the characters are so much fun and so realistic; from the main couple, Rachel and Luce (Luce is played by the incredible Lena Headey, and let me say, it is SO STRANGE to see her play a character who isn't constantly being kickass and shooting people in the face, at first, but she pulls it off INCREDIBLY), to H, Rachel's precocious and adorable little sister, to Hec, Rachel's husband (played by the amazing and drool-worthy Matthew Goode!) - which is especially lovely, since usually the antagonist in romantic comedies is a total caricature, and not sympathetic AT ALL. Everyone has wonderful chemistry, the relationships are well-formed and believable, and it's such a legitimately good movie. Also, who should show up at the end but ANGEL COULBY? Acting wonderfully Gwen-like and generally being adorable!

In addition, it is SO BEAUTIFUL. Like, full on "Notes On A Scandal" beautiful. So beautiful, that I felt the urge to picspam, and what was supposed to be a maybe 40 cap affair turned into 100+ caps. Er, oops?

YAY SPAM! YAY SPAM OF THIS FILM!

Ohh this is so lovely! It's such a warm film, I have very few bad feelings about it (except for some mild cheese and also STOP CASTING AMERICANS IN BRITISH FILMS, IT'S NOT LIKE PIPER PERABO IS AN OPENER, JEEZ). But Lena Headey is so fabulous (have you seen any of The Sarah Connor Chronicles, btw? It was stupendously cheap so I ordered it and, y'know, Summer Glau, but I have no clue if it's going to be any good), and making out in the back of the flower shop! AND MMMGOOODE, BEING ADORABLE BEYOND ALL REASON. Jam! DAMN RIGHT YOU BETTER LOOK SMUG AT THE END THERE, SIR, THAT IS ANGEL BLOODY COULBY AND SHE IS MAGNIFIQUE.

Vickie, where is the ASH?!

(The Sarah Connor Chronicles!!! Yes, that is to what I was referring up above! I've only seen about four episodes, and it isn't, like, spectacular or anything, but it's loads of fun, and everyone's really hot, and Lena Headey and Summer Glau basically go around beating people up and being awesome about it.) AND MATTHEW GOODE, SERIOUSLY (random fact: I call him McGoode in my head now, for like, no reason. THANKS FOR THAT, GREY'S ANATOMY). HIS JAAAAAM WILL ROCK YOUR WORLD. "I'M WRITING A BOOK." "OH THAT'S GOOD, 'CAUSE I CAN READ. *CUE FACE*"

The ASH refused to fit in the formatting! Like, all the caps I liked of him looked WEIRD AND OUT OF PLACE. I HAD TO DELETE THEM.

(Also, I just got one of those Twitter things because everyone has been badgering me to, and have NO IDEA what I'm supposed to do with it. WHAT IS IT FOR?)

I haven't seen this, but now I would like to. It looks so pretty and warm and lovely. ♥

Also. MATTHEW GOODE. ♥ ♥ Reason #93324830 why I so very excited for WATCHMEN.

Aaaaaand. Also. HI. I haven't talked to you in a while.

Ooh, I recommend it with all my SOUL. It is, no joke, one of the loveliest things I have ever seen. ♥.

I DID NOT KNOW MATTHEW GOODE IS IN WATCHMEN! I may actually have to look into that thing, after all. AND I WAS RESISTING THE PULL SO VALIANTLY.

Hiiiii! ♥♥♥♥ Yeah, it's been Misc. Fandom (+BSG!) Central around these parts for a while. :/

MATTHEW IN WATCHMEN. OR Watchmen in general. adkjfa;lsdja;lskjfd makes me so happy. The graphic novel itself was amazing and whenever stuff comes out about the movie I have a minor tweak fest.

I'm sorry I just spammed your comment.

BUT I'M JUST TOO EXCITED FOR VEIDT/OZY/MATTHEW

Aaaaaaaah, I am so MAD WITH LOVE for this movie, forever! I'm glad you loved it too! And GOD, it is seriously the prettiest thing in the universe!

AND DUDE, that is Angel at the end, whoa!! I don't think my brain ever clicked on that, because I haven't watched it since I got into Merlin! Oh, YAY ALL OVER.

Um, you're totally welcome to keep me friended, if you'd like? (It's not like you're missing much, seriously.) I mean, you are also equally welcome to run for the hills, but if you'd like to keep me friended, I'd be delighted to have you.

Ooo, I have this in my "must watch" list since ASH is in it, but it's waaaaay down on my list, so now I'm going to have move it to number 1. Even though you didn't provide me with any ASH sexiness to entice me. *sadface*

I AM SO SORRY FOR THE LACK OF ASH CAPS, OK. I feel as if I have failed the Internet now, or something. SORRY, INTERNET.

But yes, he is INCREDIBLY WONDERFUL in this movie! HE LOVES THE SMELL OF HOTDOGS. THEY SMELL LIKE...HOTDOGS.

Ahhhhh love this movie. As evidenced by the fact that Rachel and Luce were included in my OTP meme :P I also can't believe I had forgotten that Anthony Stewart Head was Rachel's dad. Actually, it's sort of understandable really because before I did the screencaps for the meme, the last time I saw this was before I watched Buffy, so I didn't really understand the flail for ASH until then :P
