god, lj, I'm so sorry

I...failed to know about and, more importantly, to inform you all about the Sci Fi movie marathon this weekend. I have brought shame upon my fandom of three.

OMG Y'ALL, BASILISK: THE SERPENT KING HAS YANCY BUTLER AND JEREMY LONDON AND THE BLACK GUY FROM SLIDERS. IT IS CALLED BASILISK: THE SERPENT KING!

But right now my hard choice is between watching Inferno (global warming kills LA!) or Jurassic Park (raptors! grar!).

And, to make this less embarrassing, some half-assed movie reviews!

I picked up Feast (McSteamy with a shotgun fightin' monsters!) and Blade: Trinity a few days ago so I could, you know, keep on keepin' on with evaluating Eric Dane vs Ryan Reynolds as the Roy Harper in My Head. After much consideration (and ogling and entertained woohoos), I still have to give it to Eric Dane. Ryan Reynolds is very pretty but...I dunno. He seems lacking in a kind of cocky, charming...assishness[*] that I associate with Roy. But my, Ryan is pretty.

Anyway. ( Feast, spoilery if you care )

( Blade: Trinity )

Feast is a $6.99 and below movie, Blade: Trinity is a $9.99 and below movie.

*I think Roy Harper is charming, mostly shallow, kind of an asshole, incredibly well-meaning, and prone to leaping conclusion-wards. But mostly, I think he is a *joyful* character. And I like my joyful action heroes to be charming, assholish, competent bastards. Because okay, my basic feeling on them (and on Roy in particular) is that they are good at what they do and you can respect them for that, but the rest of the time you just kind of laugh at them 'cause they are OTT with the "How YOU doin'?" and yet you are charmed anyway because you know they'll, like, totally have your back and probably say that you have a nice ass while they're doing it. I do not know why I find them charming, but I totally do. Whatever, I am totally fucking shallow and I'm okay with that.

Man, I totally fucking need a Raptor icon. Or a Mammoth one.

movies movies everywhere

You know, sometimes I just get the urge to watch MacBeth Beyond the Thunderdome so I can watch Jack Davenport be a pimpin' gay scottish prince. Or I could watch the other dvd that came with it, the wacky urban Twelfth Night, where Parminder Nagra gets all genderbendy with Chiwetel Ejiofor. They are both cracktastically hot.

Alternately, I could watch The Tale of the Mummy, where Jack Davenport plays a detective killed by sentient linen.

ETA: Though, truthfully, I am in the mood for either Lilo and Stitch (currently with my nephew) or Kill Bill vol. 1 (GODDAMN YOU QUENTIN TARANTINO! Release the goddamn box set already, you spastic little douche).

ETA2: Is it bad that I am tempted to watch Titanic? Because a) there is, eventually, an obscenely high body count and b) OMG KINGLY BOYFRIEND!!!eleven!!!

ETA3: The downside of watching Titanic, other than the fact that it is Titanic, is that it makes me want to pull out the musical and start singing along. And *man* the production and costume design on this movie are absolutely *stunning*. The movie has no soul, but it's gorgeous.
