Things made of mostly awesome

[rivers_bend]

First this video. Apparently it took six months to make. It is utterly enchanting.

Second, Wolverine. STAY TO THE VERY END of the credits if you go. And you should definitely go. Assuming you like that kind of thing. I'm not at all a comics nerd though. So my Loved it! review comes from that place.

I did my yoga and my boxing this morning and then an hour of studying for my grammar test which is tomorrow, and decided I deserved a treat. So I walked down to the cinema at the mall and got a cheap ticket and spent two hours gleeing over stunts and prettiness. Taylor Kitsch is really INSANELY good looking. Like it almost hurts to look at him. eeef. This is definitely a testosterone-fueled movie though. Not a lot going on in the women department.

When I got home, my contributor's copies of Oysters and Chocolate were here. I'd totally forgotten that they were coming, so it was a lovely surprise. I haven't dared yet to read any of the other stories, so I don't know what they're like. The categories are vanilla, dirty martini, black licorice, and oysters. Flipping through they are mostly het, though the oysters category is f/f.

Now it is time to put my nose back to the grindstone. :(

There shall be some more fic later; it's having a read-through first. Then there will be a break until later in the week, as school will have to take precedence over prompts.

and eta: lastly, this video:

WHEEE!!! *can't wait til I can see Wolverine on Wednesday* It sounds SOOOOOOO good!!!

That is an AWESOME animation clip.

It's amazing. I mean, I can see how, my mother, say, would HATE it. But if you like those kinds of movies, I think it's fantastic. It looks freaking incredible, and I LOLd a few times, and gasped in awe, and Hugh is Hugh, and what's not to love? ENJOY IT.

My sister called me at work today to squee about this movie. She NEVER squees about movies. I may have to see it. ;)

And how cool that you got your books!!! Yay, you!

You totally have to see it. Unless you hate comic book movies. Unless you hate them like you hate heist movies, then you DO have to see it.

Am I making sense?

*smooches*

That chalk animation was absolutely enchanting. Thanks for sharing.
And now I'm gonna have that Lily Allen song stuck in my head for the rest of the evening.

You are welcome. Wasn't it awesome? :D

I have it stuck in my head, too ... EARWORM.

Yay for getting your contributor's copies! *hugs*

Poo, I didn't stay till after the credits had finished for Wolverine. *googles to find descriptions*

Taylor Kitsch is quite beautiful, and I enjoyed his character v. much.

My internet connection is slow until Thursday, so I will come back for the vids then.

It was not remotely vital to your understanding, nor to any sequels that might be in the works, but it had more of pretty Hugh.

I wanted to stay until the end of the credits because I had a ~SUSPICION~, but I also REALLY HAD TO PEE.

Like, REALLY.

Dammit.

How awesome is that animation? Amazing stuff there. Thanks for sharing it. :)

And OMG. Dude. Wolverine. I was sitting on my hands through half the movie so as to not start squeeing, but you should totally have been there for the four hour conversation that followed. Just. EEEEEEE!

And there's a lot of slash-o-rific stuff to be made from there. Mmm hmmm . . . where's your X-men pr0nz? *ponders* LOL - not to be promptastic or anything. *innocent look*

Good luck on your test!

and I love you so much!!! *loves*

[livsnddark.livejournal.com]

Both vids are awesome! *G*

I love the first one -how they used the actually eraser marks as part of the animation. Gives it a very ghostly feel.
