It has been driving me CRAZY for weeks, wondering where I knew the woman in the TMobile ad with the eleven bulldogs named Steve from.

Then, tonight, I wasn't watching, only listening, and it's Veronica's mother from Heathers.

Oy.

and only changing the subject slightly, I have to say again, the Watchmen ad is made of sex.

Yep, can't argue with that. They've certainly made them compelling, and I don't usually have any desire to see movies like that.

I generally love comics movies. Even though I have never read a comic or a graphic novel in my life. (okay that second part is a lie, I did read Blankets (http://www.amazon.com/Blankets-Craig-Thompson/dp/1891830430/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1234941154&sr=8-1), but it's not really something they are likely to make a movie out of, and there are no heroes) Point being. I would probably want to see this anyway. But I DEFINITELY want to see it now.

Oh YESSSSSS. Dude, I can't wait to see this movie. I'm scared I can't handle the comics, much as I love comics, because I'm told they're very dark and depressing and EEF, they're long. But a couple hours of it in a movie? A couple of hours of eef is going to be FANTASTIC. :D

HI HI! ♥

For some reason I cannot wrap my head around how graphic novels and comics work. like I can't process words and pictures at once or something. I don't know what it is. But I love comics movies. I've not seen a few of the latest darker ones, like Sin City, but I enjoyed V for Vendetta, and I think this one looks right up my alley! Story and people in super-suits! :D

I actually cannot wait for Watchmen to come out. I just... I have to try not to think about it at all or else I get all fretful. :(

[link] [reply]

Now you have me curious why, but I shan't make you think of it anymore, I shall just say, HI, HONEY! HI! and Will you come to Denver in October? PLEASE!

[link] [parent] [reply]

I would love to come to Denver, and I haven't ruled it out, but I'm not sure I'm going to be able to afford to. New job is lovely but not exactly highly-paid. :/ But, I do very much want to, so it is very high on my list of priorities! *clings and loves*

See I recognized the women from TMobile commercial right away as the grandmother, Penny, from Charmed. Though when I watched Charmed I always thought of her as the mother from Heathers (one of my favorite movies!)

[link] [reply]

FINALLY!!!! Thank you!!! That commerical has been driving me bugshit trying to figure out where I've seen that woman before.

Ha! I just called my boyfriend to tell him the mystery is solved! LOL

I get like that, I'm really good with faces and I'll know I've seen an actor in some other show or movie and it'll drive my batshit until I remember where from.

[link] [parent] [reply]

I've never seen Charmed, so have missed entirely seeing her in any kind of grandmotherly light. She was a lot younger in Heathers! :D

[link] [parent] [reply]

She looked younger in Charmed too, she hadn't gone gray yet, the hair color really affects perceptions of age.

That aside, my friends and I used to quote Heathers all the time, we watched it over and over again. I had such a crush on Christian Slater. Though my favorite movie with him from that time period was Gleaming the Cube. Oh skater!Christian. :)

[link] [parent] [reply]

Gleaming the Cube! OMG IT'S BEEN SO LONG! I totally forgot about that movie. You've made me want to watch it again. I was a big Pump up the Volume fan, though it didn't stand up well to re-watching recently. I've seen Heathers probably more than any other movie ever. At least 30 times, that's when I stopped counting. I still quote it all the time :D

And my very favourite movie that he was in was the Legend of Billie Jean, but that was much less about Christian and much more about Billie Jean (and a little about Helen)

[link] [parent] [reply]

OMg, I had Heathers flashbacks when I read the subject of your post! Soooo long since I've seen that film!

[link] [reply]

I got the 20th Anniversary DVD when it came out, and so I saw it pretty recently. It's still just as wonderful as it was then. And there aren't many films I can say that about.

I think I orgasm every time I see the Watchmen trailer. I don't know anything about it but god, it just does something to me....

[link] [reply]

I am convinced there is some kind of subliminal messaging going on there. It is just GUH in a way that the actual content doesn't strictly warrant.
