OMG, I found the funniest thing ever on YouTube. Somebody did a spoof of the ending of The Good Son, you know that movie Macaulay Culkin and Elijah Wood made when they were ickle 12 year olds (awwww) where Macaulay was playing a pint-sized murderous pyschopath with an angelic face (not so awwww). (Um, please tell me y'all know who Macaulay Culkin or I am going to feel old!)

Click for the funny!

Um, there's a huge spoiler in this...just so you know ;-)

Aww, that movie brings back so many memories. Macaulay and Elijah were the epitome of the adorable early '90s child actor. I had such a huge crush on both of them, ha!

Best commentary ever

So it isn't enough that I recently watched my EE DVDs of Lord or the Rings, but I decided to watch them again with the cast commentary. Now I had watched the first two movies before with the cast commentary, but it had been quite a while, so I decided to watch them again because I remember them being quite hilarious and they were still quite hilarious.

OMG, cont. writers was SO boring yesterday. We got out five minutes early. And it's a two and a half hour class. Lucky us. Ugh. Seriously, I had no idea what my teacher was rambling on about this time. But that's because I wasn't paying any attention. I brought all the stories we have to read for fic. writing and read all of those. I also studied for my linguistics class next week. LOL I had my Cold Mountain book in front
of me and I would take a letter from the book like "C" and in my mind go, "Okay, it's voiceless, palatal, stop." Then I would take the next letter, L, and think, "Okay, that's voiced, alovelar, approximant" and so on. But dude...we were reading these boring ass poems then he would take like fucking 15 minutes going over each one. God, it was torture! Torture I say!

Speaking of Cold Mountain I finally finished the book. I can't remember when I started it...I think a few weeks ago. It was aite. A little on the boring side for me. But then, I don't like books that take place back in "the olden days." This takes place around 1860s. And I swear to God, it seems like the only thing they do in the damn book is cook and eat. Cook and eat. Cook and eat. Cook and eat. Cook and eat. AURGH! (Yes, and it made me hungry reading this damn book!) But I do plan to see the movie. It's got a great cast - Nicole Kidman, Jude Law, Renee Zellwegger. We'll see if I like the book or movie better. Next up on my reading list: Return of the King. All I have to do is get the book!

Speaking of LOTR, I watched the cast commentary of FOTR last night and it ROCKED! Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Orlando Bloom, Liv Tyler, Ian McKellen, Christopher Lee, John Rhys-Davies, and Sean Bean all contribute to the cast. The four "hobbits" are in the same room as they're giving the commetary and OMG, they are HILARIOUS! Dom was talking about this game he made up that they played with a cup...I forgot how it went, I need to rewatch it. Then they talked about this game where Dom, Billy, and Sean made up a game and they called it Tig Tog or something like that and Elijah sees them playing it and he wants to play, but what he doesn't know is that they made it up so as they're teaching him they're making up all these rules...LOL and it's just so hilarious how they describe it on the DVD. Then Elijah comments how he found out a year later it wasn't even a real game! LMAO! Then at the end Billy Boyd says, "Doing this commentary was fun, but did we really have to be naked for it?" LOL! And oh! Also during the end credits Sean was saying something how working on the movie with people from all over the world reminded him of the Egyptians working on the pyramids because he knew it was such a big project and yada, yada, yada, and one of the others comments, "Except we weren't slaves." Then Sean's like, "Oh, actually there's been some new evidence that the Egytians weren't slaves. When I was taking Egyptology at..." and then I can't remember what he says because I'm just laughing too hard. It just cracked me up. And I think it was Dom who replies, "Wow, that's quite interesting." LOL! That was great! Hehe and Elijah and Sean mentioned how sometimes they would accidently say lines with their American voices. Elijah said how when he's suppose to scream "What are you doing?" at the hobbits when they start a fire that he said it in his real voice and he did an example of it and LOL - so funny. And then Sean tells how he was supposed to say, "Get out," or something like that and he says it like, "Git out!" LMAO. (Okay, it's funnier if you're actually watching it, obviously). What else, what else? Oh, Sean mentioned to Elijah how everybody comes up to him and asks if his (Elijah's) eyes are digitally enchanced, not only for the color, but also for the size. And Elijah mentions how he gets that all the time too - which I can understand! Then Dom (LOL he is so fucking hilarious) says how his eyes were digitally enchanced..because he's cross eyed. LOLL!! That was great. I love the banter between the four of them. Oh! And how could I forget about this: Elijah, Dom, and Billy were all giving Sean a hard time because he was worried about the safety of the helicopters and he was making sure the pilot knew where he was going and telling him that there were two helicopters behind him. Then they said he was directing the other helicopters when he landed! LOL! How cute. I also learned that the scene with Sam underwater at the very end when he's going after Frodo in the lake really isn't Sean underwater! They did it at a studio and he's standing up against a blue screen and he's in a pose like he's underwater and they have fans blowing his hair and they put in digital bubbles. I had no idea that scene doesn't take place underwater! That's some pretty sweet shit they got there! I also loved Orli's commentary although I wish he had been with the hobits. But -sigh- I just love his voice. And he was so cute and enthusiastic about the whole movie. He kpet mentioning how "awsome" and "fascinating" everything was and he gave major props to Ian McKellen and Elijah and others which I thought was really nice.

Yeah. The DVD rox.

Saw Seconhand Lions today. Good movie. I was quite pleasantly surprised. It also didn't hurt that they had the trailer for ROTK which was awesome. And speaking of ROTK, I went to B&N before the movie and picked up a copy of the book. Hopefully I will have it read before the movie comes out.
