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?

Totally irrelevent, but - I AM FEELING THE URGE TO SWAP ALL MY ICONS AGAIN.

IT IS A DEADLY DISEASE, I'M SURE.

I think I would live without extra userpics at this point. Why? IT IS RARE THAT I EVER GET MORE THAN 50 UPLOADED WITHOUT GOING ON A DELETING FRENZY.

I feel you there! Past Me is all, 'Um, you still have 53 spaces free, friend. Why the hell do you feel the all-consuming urge to delete everything and start over?' And Present Me just DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO DEFEND MYSELF!

Right? I just stare at the six userpics in my little 'Browse' box and feel STUPIDLY ANNOYED. Annoyed at what??? The world will never know.

Ooh, you know what would be amazing?! If there was a way to, like, shuffle your userpics, so they wouldn't all be in the same order as you uploaded them all the time on the userpics page! That way, I would get sick of them so much less easily.

Livejournal, get on that STAT.

That would be fantastic! AND UNBELIEVABLY FUN. Kind-of-relatedly, I've always wanted some sort of 'keyword bundle' feature for userpics. Like, you could sort them all under a mood, or a fandom, or a COLOR-SCHEME. I know that's what 'keywords' are supposed to be for, but dammit, not being able to have the same keyword for stuff is SERIOUSLY LIMITING. Though I suppose you could always add them like, mood } happy } 01, but...WHATEVER. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING.
