Sunday Morning Scones (take two)
Sep. 21st, 2003 10:42 amI had a nice post written up, but annoying XP decided to crash before I could post it. So here we go again! (Below: scones, summaries, movies.)
I love scones, but I almost never get to have them. So when I noticed the fruit stand was selling them, I picked out a nice cranberry one. Mmm. Knowing I had a lot of boring MUSH work to do this morning, I resisted eating it on Saturday and saved it for today.
Note to scone makers: Scones should *not* taste like hamburger buns. Taste and texture of a hamburger bun, with a couple of flavorless cranberries in it. Boooo!
On summaries: When I started out collecting bad lines from them, I was totally not intending to step on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mctabby's toes. It started with lines so bad I had to share them, and it grew from there. If anyone (mctabby especially) minds that I do them or thinks that I'm out of line, please just leave me a comment! It's grown from a one-time, couple-line thing to a rather regular event.
I watched a few movies yesterday. They ranged from 'Woooo!' to 'blech'. Listed in order of watching:
Charlie's Angels 2 - While utterly stupid as hell, this was a fun, enjoyable movie. It had some great spoofs in it (CSI), and a ton of fun music (I especially liked the Fame music played when the girls were undercover working in an ironworks place, heehee!). And to be honest, the girls were sexy enough to almost make me wish I were gay (the opening scene where the perky blonde one was riding the mechanical bull, and the scene where all three were dancing in the strip club. Mmmmm.). However, even knowing I would have to turn off my brain for this movie, it was really, really worse than stupid (in one scene the bad character has a mouthful of blood, in the next scene (a second later) she has perfectly white teeth). But all in all, it was great fun.
Rurouni Kenshin movie (Trust and Betrayal) - Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm. Though it was seriously graphically violent, I really, really liked it. Kenshin is sexy as anything *drool*, but I loved the storyline as well. Very dark, but realistic (on the reactions/emotions end of things, I mean. Not slicing heads in half.). I think it was quite a bit longer than an average US movie, it must have been close to four hours long. I'm very, very much looking forward to watching it again (and it's much better than the series they're showing on Cartoon Network).
Underworld - Gah. I love werewolf/vampire movies, and I really wanted to like this one. The quality of the copy was pretty low (which is to be expected since it was just released), so I watched most of it in black and white (or rather, black and blue). Without pretty pictures to focus on, I had to follow the story and listen to the dialogue. I am so very glad I did not spend money to see this, and I recommend anyone who has not yet seen it but is thinking about it skip it. I watched about 40 minutes of it and then turned it off. It just wasn't worth my time. It was painfully bad.
