If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

I normally don't do these sorts of things when they go around, but honestly, you guys. ♥ All of you. I should say more often how very much I appreciate you all are out there. ♥


In other news, saw Kick Ass last night (yeah, giving going to that one guy's place another chance). Enjoyed it, for the most part, but on the other hand, eh. Felt really meh at a lot of aspects about the ending, especially what they did with such a (har) kick-ass character like Hit Girl. Also rolled my eyes at the sort of Watchmen-ish gore. I'm hoping not every movie is thinking that's the cool way to be now. Bleah.

Aaaaaand, I think I have a cold again. Yeah, I know, it's only been a month. Just thought my allergies were bad, and then that stupid cough started the last couple days, and now I feel sort of ugh. My immune system is full of so many failings and so much incompetence. :p

We love you too, bb! *hugs*

I never saw Watchmen or Kick-Ass so I dunno about the gore, but that's a shame. Leave gore for the horror movies, not action/adventure or comedy.

Feel better soon! ♥

I felt like Watchmen's gore was much more exploitative than the Kick-Ass gore, because Watchmen didn't highlight it as much in the comic book as Kick-Ass did. Watchmen was more of a social commentary, I guess, but Kick-Ass felt like it was more in keeping with the level of violence portrayed in the comic book. That's my take on it, anyway, though I might be way off, heh.

I loved Kick-Ass, if you ignore the whole... *cough* last fancy toy they bust out at the end.

I agree about the gore thing - although I have been less disturbed at more gore in other movies. I didn't mind the ending for Hit Girl. Her upbringing was so warped, it was kind of nice to see her having some "normal" experiences like school. Overall, I liked the movie, but it isn't something I will run out and buy.

I hope you feel better SOON! Allergies are kicking my ass this way and that - South Texas is pollen soup. :(
