but will it metabolize?

Woke up extremely stressed and tense, feeling very 'crowded' if that makes sense. Am drifting into cranky, emotional, snappish, and prone to losing my temper at nothing. Am really wanting to take some time off today, but it won't be much--have a lunch thing and then a meeting at 2.

Anj discovered Howl's Moving Castle has been in town at the AMC theaters for who knows how long now. Will be seeing it Saturday.

Onyxia raid Friday, MC Sunday afternoon. Note to self to do laundry/bills stuff Saturday am. I wonder when that FedEx Ground pkg is going to get here.

Major bruise from one of yesterday's allergy shots--damned Bebop kept trying to nuzzle that arm while I was at the computer. Still aching much now. Speaking of Bebop, idiot thing wouldn't stop meowing this morning. Thought I was going to tear my hair out.

Coulda used some Starbuck's this morning. But trying to only indulge in that every couple weeks, so didn't allow myself. Fecking tired, could have used that.

So. "Willy Wonka" Hostess cupcake, is one where the icing and filling are violently purple, with a bit of orange icing for decoration. Why did I buy this again? Ohyeah, 'cause I'm a dork.

At least the sprinkler system installers here at work won't be painting pipes or drilling huge masses of cement/plaster dust into my work area today. That will be so lovely.


[Edit: And just finally comprehending the UK news. Fucking hell. As if I weren't already ready to hate humanity anyway... Just about makes a person want to cry. (Just about? Ha. So fucking emotional as it was...)]

Well, that's just something missed when they go over chronology--a bit bigger than 'hey your sleeve was green there' but a mistake nonetheless. XD

Yar mate, a pirates life for me.

I heard they did it because they wanted the movies to not have anything spoil a happy ending. o.o

[kenjimurasame.livejournal.com]

That could work too; who knows. The best thing is that the movies were good, regadless of a few gaffes.

Good is much better, than, say, Viz editing manga or CMX or something. >D

Just like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory will be good, regardless of a few add-ins to the story. ^^

[kenjimurasame.livejournal.com]

What, no.

Dammit, I thought we were getting somewhere.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory will suck, despite people thinking Johnny Depp is hot, because Gene Wilder made a BETTER movie 30 years ago.

CatCF will, hopefully tank. Because it deserves it. Because Tim Burton is a dick.

[artemisukkat.livejournal.com]

So.. because Tim Burton is directing the movie.. it's going to suck.. o.o;

I fail to see the logic in that. Tim has done some rather kickass movie. :3

And no, It -won't- tank. :P There are too many "OMFG! >O Depp! And isn't Tim Burton that dude who did the Nightmare Before Christmas? I so gotta fucking see this movie! :D" and not enough ">O FUCK YOU ALL!! Gene Wilder pwns all!" Think about it. :P A movie that has a actor in it that makes people watch the movie just because he's in it and a director that brought about a movie that is now worshipped by several cliques these days is not going to "tank."

Hah.. I don't see the difference.. the old movie was financed by the Quaker Oats company to push sales for their Willy Wonka candy bar, which ended up suxx0ring. The new movie? Oh, well, it's to get more money too. ^_^

And don't think I'm going to go see the movie because of Depp. :P I was excited when I heard they were remaking it. Depp being in it is just an added bonus. I want to go see it because I loved the old one and I want to see what they do with it now. ^^

It's going to suck because of his attitude, which he sees need to pervade the media with instead of saying 'well these are some of the things we're doing differently'.

And, not enough Gene Wilder fans? Did you miss the last 30 years or what? Regardless, the movie will not make a huge profit. It'll make one good weekend (maybe, depending on what else comes out) And then slowly fade. Regardless of taste in movies the movie industry is hitting a 12% (and climbing) drop in revenue, meaning that the movie will probably open under expected (ie: hoped for) monies.

Depp isn't really a 'bonus'--he's not really that great of an actor, he just happens to look rather nice on celluloid.

And because I like the old one, I'd rather not see Tim Burton stick his tiny weird dick into it's ear because we just have to know why Willy Wonka opened a chocolate factor when the story is about some kid named Charlie, whoever the fuck that is. I mean, jesus, you'd think the movie was called 'Willy Wonka, the guy who hated his father so he opened a bizarre chocolate factory but the story is kind of told from the perspective of this little kid over here who keeps getting in the fucking way of nice headshots of Johnny Depp dressed like Michael Jackson.'

Erm.. I have to disagree.. but you should be used to that. Despite Depp looking good, I really enjoy his acting. Unlike many actors out there, he can play more than one role. He doesn't get himself stuck in "BANGBANG ACTION STAR!" and then suck at anything else. He can do more than be the "creepy, villain guy" whose only other role he can get is as some freaky guy in a teenage comedy movie. He has variety, which many other actors lack these days. Hell, it wasn't Pirates of the Carribean that got me into Depp. What I really loved was his role in The Secret Window which then led me to seeing him in The Ninth Gate. The Ninth Gate wasn't one of my particularly favorite movies that he was in, but I have to admit, I liked him early on in the movie. By the end, I ended up being a little confused and bored.

And as if I missed the last 30 years.. why, yes I did.. since I haven't even been around for two decades of it. :P Gene might have been all that 30 years ago, but now Depp is what's currently hot in the box office.

At least he's not some dimwitted teen whose catchphrase was "Whoa." who ended up saving the human race from robots and evil programs and then saved the human race again, but this time.. from deeemmoons! oooo!!

Oh, and for the record.. just because it seems there's a bit of confusion due to the fact that this is all text.. XD

I like ya. ^_^ You're a cool guy. I get few good debates and even fewer when it comes to novels being made into movies. I'm using my "Grrr..." icons because I get such few chances to and it seemed like a perfect oppurtunity. :3
