DOUBLE TAP.
Nate and I went to see Zombieland last Wednesday night (this would've been posted sooner but my internet has been out SINCE THEN :| -- it is still not back, I am on ANOTHER COMPUTER/INTERNETZ LOL). It was a fun movie -- funny and gory and sweet and all that jazz. I don't know why there are craptons of people comparing it to Shaun of the Dead though. Just cause it has zombies? I guess? Nothing touches Shaun, IMDB nerds, I'm sorry. They are nothing alike except for zombies.
(The cameo in Zombieland was amazing. Especially the wheezing breath at the end.)
I finished Carrie by (duh who else) Stephen King. omg I know there are characters I hate -- but effing Chris Hargensen, you guys. I wanted her to die so bad. She was such a bitch. I love how King can make characters I really love (Scott Landon, Lisey Landon, Peter McVries), characters that are absolutely darling who I want to take home (Chris/Teddy/Gordie/Vern, Nick Andros, Alice Maxwell), characters I love to hate so hard (Stebbins, Gary Barkovitch, Nadine Cross), characters you really feel for (Carrie White, the whole Landon family, Edgar Freemantle, Sara Tidwell, Jack Torrence) and then the characters who are just such assholes that you want extremely violent things to happen to them (Christine Hargensen, Mrs. Carmody, Jim Dooley). Love it. I also love the payoff you get when King actually rips the asshole characters to shreds (suck on that, Christine Hargensen).
I've read books where I kind of like some characters, some kind of annoy me and some I'm completely indifferent towards. I want to feel something for the plot/characters when I'm reading a book -- not wonder what I'm having for dinner as I'm scanning the words and then realize, "WHOT I THINK SOMEONE JUST DIED?"
King accomplishes this with flying colors. I want to go to a Scott Landon lecture, I want to have a sleepover and giggle about boys with Sue Snell (before the Chamberlain massacre, preferably), I totally want to make out with Peter McVries HELLO (OM NOM NOM SCAR), I want to stay at the Overlook Hotel, I want to shop at Needful Things, I want to jump in the Royal River jksdfjsdfjsfdj <3333
(AND TEDDY DUCHAMP'S GAS STATION~ <333333 AWWWWW.)
Next post I will be gushing about a book I am currently reading, teeeeehehehehehe.
And I have realized I can't listen to this song without thinking of Jacen/Tenel Ka. I'm not really sure why. They're just what my mind goes to whenever it comes on. I THINK IT IS AN ANTHEM OF MY OTP IN THEIR CURRENT STATE. I MUST TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE THINGS THE SONG DOES TO MY MIND.

And Chris gets hers in the end. Karma can be a bitch.

And fdfjaksdjfkjasdkfj YESSSSS SHE IS SUCH A SKANK. I was so happy when she got her payback.

. . . and I love Stebbins. Just sayin'.
no subject
And yessss, I know you do (p.s. i absolutely love your stebbins so hard <33333333) -- he's just one of those characters that's such a little bitch sometimes that I hate him in the most awesome way possible. Like he is snarky in a totally mean way that half of me is like, "I... WHAT?"
But the other half of me is like, "YOU WIN, STEBBINS."
I love characters like that. Although, Stebbins could kick Barkovitch's ass anyday. XD
no subject
I think he's my fav King character. I just love him and wish he was in the book more BECAUSE I love his bitchy snark that is usually correct. And he was so mysterious! I wanted to know more about him (though it does leave some fun fic ideas and conversations to be had).
I would pay to see that fight, btw. Stebbins would totally just do the mind manip. He'd say something on par about Barkovitch's mommy or daddy (cause he probably has mommy and/or daddy issues. . . . just lookit him) and Barkovitch would get so worked up he'd have an aneurism or something.
DUDE. STEBBINS IS TOTALLY A HANNIBAL LECTOR. brb lulzing forever. Can't you see it though? All the mind tricks?
no subject
And Barkovitch would get totally owned.
