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?

I KNOW, I KNOW. All his caps refused to fit into my OCD formatting. D:

Awww, this movie is LOVE!!!

It is! Like, INSANE AMOUNTS. ♥!

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?!

[identity profile] lovestories.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
(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?)

[identity profile] aestheticized.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

[identity profile] dollsome.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

[identity profile] lovestories.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
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. :/

[identity profile] sophieisgod.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
(Female asskickery is really all I require! And she is also amazing and hardcore in 300 because she is fabulous.) Haha, he shall forever be MMMGoode to me, because that is the noise he makes me make. GUH. Also, Angel looks so good in white! And OH MY SOUL, THE SCENE WHERE HE'S TALKING ABOUT RACHEL IN THE FLOWER SHOP :'(

FINE, I'LL LET YOU OFF. I really miss Merlin, man. THE 9TH OF FEBRUARY CANNOT COME SWIFTLY ENOUGH TO SATE MY NEED FOR MORE CAST SHENANIGANS.

(Oh, win! I'm over here - IDK exactly, I mainly use it for tiny things that aren't worth a whole post/quick reactions to stuff/PROCRASTINAATION)

[identity profile] lovestories.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
It is like, the loveliest romantic comedy I have ever seen. And I watch a lot of romantic comedies. THEY ARE MY MOVIE OF CHOICE.

[identity profile] aestheticized.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm. I shall have to watch! :DD

NOOOOO. Don't resist Watchmen! It is so epic and amazing. ♥ ♥ The movie looks like it's going to be fabulous and Matthew Goode plays Ozymandias, who is really, really interesting -- though all of the characters are -- and also pretty and . . . yeah. GIVE IN TO THE WATCHMEN. It is seriously one of the best things ever. *loves*

That's okay. Misc. Fandoms are fun to read about. And my journal's pretty much been MY EPICALLY PATHETIC UNREQUITED LOVE central, so. XDD Good talking to you, though. ♥

[identity profile] sophieisgod.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
*butting in atrociously* HELL YES YOU HAVE TO WATCH WATCHMEN! Matthew Goode being vaguely homosexual and vaguely German! JDM being a bad motherfucker! THE GREATEST GRAPHIC NOVEL EVERRRRR!

[identity profile] lovestories.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I am kind of frightened of the fact that I don't miss Merlin in the SOUL ACHEY way other people seem to be. And that is usually the precursor to me being slowly weaned off a fandom. I DON'T WANT TO BREAK UP WITH MERLIN, SOPHIE. I REALLY DON'T.

(I have just added you!)

[identity profile] aestheticized.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
THAT IS A VERY GOOD WAY TO PUT IT. Not to mention Billy Crudup being blue and naked and awesome.

WATCHMEN IS JUST SO MUCH LOVE OMG. ♥ ♥ ♥

[identity profile] lovestories.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know, I'VE NEVER REALLY LIKED THINGS REGARDING SUPERHEROES WHERE EVERYONE IS COSTUMED UP AND THINGS ARE ~INTENSE~. And I've always thought the line, "something something something and I will answer....'NO'" from the trailer I saw was kind of totally ridiculous. D:

[identity profile] lovestories.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
BUT I DON'T EVEN LIKE SUPERHEROES THAT MUCH (EXCLUDING S1 OF HEROES, OBVIOUSLY)! AND THE COSTUMES KIND OF MAKE ME ARCH MY EYEBROWS AT THE WEIRD RIDICULOSITY.

[identity profile] aestheticized.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
YES BUT WATCHMEN IS SRSLY AWESOME. I was like, "Blah blah whatever, why is everyone freaking out about this?", but then I read it and understood. If you even remotely appreciate story construction, Watchmen is basically a perfectly constructed story. With reaaaally interesting characters and plot and awesome things and . . . yes. Whatever you're expecting from it, that's not it.

The line from trailer is basically on the first page of the graphic novel, and it makes sense in the context of the character who says it, but it's probably overused in the trailer. But it sounds very dramatic, I guess.

Besides. MATTHEW GOODE. Possibly gay? And blonde. And awesome. The smartest man in the world. And did I mention awesome?

[identity profile] lovestories.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
THE GRAPHIC NOVEL IS LIKE, THIRTY BUCKS THOUGH (and not at our library, WOE). I do not have the money for these things! Ummm, I might see it once it's out on DVD? Matthew Goode is seriously pulling me in, not gonna lie.

[identity profile] sophieisgod.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Awwww, no! I think I would have been wallowing more if somebody hadn't got me obsessed with Supernatural (THANK YOU FOREVERRRR), but I'm still so easy for Merlin it's ridiculous. Like, if I read a really good fic, one that just absolutely nails Arthur/Merlin (hurr hurr, I am twelve) and their dynamic, that weird push and pull and bemusement and why-do-I-like-you-so-much? and doing stupid things for each other, I am still just so in there and it makes me kind of ache with all the love and DEAR GOD I AM PATHETIC. It's just, boyyyyyys. And I see a lot of stupid parallels between Merlin/Sam (THEY'RE BOTH SO EARNEST!) and Arthur/Dean (DADDY ISSUES, DADDY ISSUES), which helps. *SHUTTING UP NOW, FOR FUCK'S SAKE*

I DARE YOU TO TRY AND RESIST IN THE FACE OF NEW VIDEO DIARIES, THOUGH.

[identity profile] lovestories.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
No like, it is WORSE with me. I haven't read fic in a MONTH. I haven't written fic in longer. I DO NOT EVEN FEEL THE DESIRE TO SAVE ICONS ANYMORE.

I DARE YOU TO TRY AND RESIST IN THE FACE OF NEW VIDEO DIARIES, THOUGH.

Wait, hold the phone. NEW VIDEO DIARIES, WHAT???? WHERE?? WHEN??? AHHHH!!!

Best. Movie. Ever. This picspam is gorgeous and now I want like 50 million icons from it.

[identity profile] shadesofsienna.livejournal.com 2009-01-25 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Um. Just wondering why you defriended me, cause, you know, I kind of liked having you on my flist.

Anyway, no hard feelings or anything.
