3.5 things

Thing the 0.5th - oh, god, Friday, yay.

Thing the First - As we are being fiscally responsible and not running away for spring break, I am soliciting DVD recs for the week. So far, our list includes Guardians (D has not seen), Maleficent (I have not seen), Wreck-It Ralph, Belle, and Chef (the last two solely for me.) I trust y'all's recommendations far more than Netflix's algorithm. Looking for fun, not-necessarily stupid (but not not-necessarily either), vacation flicks to make our stay-cation more betters.

Thing the Second - I know there are lots of you out there who have not even begun to dig out for winter, so when I tell you we were out working in the garden last weekend, pruning back the camellias and cleaning up the azaleas, I'll also add that I somehow managed to get poison ivy just so you don't hate me too much.

Thing the Third - Forgive the lack of appropriate icon on DW (my paid time is lapsed & I just want to post, not go & find my credit card, etc, etc) but I saw this on [tumblr.com profile] popsonnet and had to share with my popslashers here on lj/dw



Orig post here


eta: Oh! one more -- I am hung up on this Clint/Darcy I am trying to finish, so if anybody (or several body's) would be willing to let me yammer MCU at them I would deeply appreciate it. It's not canon that's hanging me up, but plotting, so no real knowledge of source material necessary. Thannnnk youuuuuu.

Friday, yay!

Unfortunately I have no movie recs. I am so behind!

I hate poison ivy. I used to get it all the time as a kid.

Ahahaha, brilliant pop sonnet!

Holes
The Last Starfighter
The Witches
A Knight's Tale

Have you seen the 1991 production of Into the Woods -- the American Playhouse version? So much better than the film!

Also, lol that sonnett.

Ha! I was having lunch with a friend yesterday and heard both Dirty Pop and IWITW at the restaurant. It made me smile.

That sonnet is excellent!

Chef is really fun! A little silly toward the end, but quite enjoyable regardless.

Beasts of the Southern Wild is a beautiful film if you haven't seen it.

I have not seen BotSW, but it's been on my list. I'll have to see if I can make it work this break; thanks for the reminder!

I thought Maleficent was excellent, and honestly, I thought going in I was going to hate it completely. I was so wrong. Belle was good. GotG bored the pants off me; I tuned out of that early on. It was Not For Me.

Most of the things I'd recommend would probably be too violent for your purposes. *g*

I had fun enough with GotG, but a large portion of that fun came from watching the kids have fun with it. I meant to see Maleficent in the theaters but the timing never quite worked out, so I'm determined now.

Chef is a fun movie. Hint: have snacks on hand. The food scenes made us wish we'd had a four-course meal in front of us!

If you'd like to talk about your Clint/Darcy plot block, I'm available this (Friday) evening...

That would be awesome, thank you -- do you gchat?

[identity profile] spyforaday.livejournal.com 2015-03-28 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't, but I can look into it. I've got a Gmail & Google+ account. Is that a good place to start? ;)

[identity profile] topaz119.livejournal.com 2015-03-28 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
I possibly just sent you an invite... I sent it to spyforaday@gmail.com, if that works.

[identity profile] spyforaday.livejournal.com 2015-03-28 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
That would be too easy. The gmail is actually: bettybackinthedaylevel7@gmail.com...

Oh, I had no idea that was you on tumblr!

[identity profile] alphaflyer.livejournal.com 2015-03-28 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
happy to Clint/Darcy brainstorm from my boring hospital bed! I think I can gchat on my iPad...? You do have my email I think.


As for movies, if you haven't seen Big Hero 6 you might want to. I saw it on a plane and enjoyed it way more than I thought I would.

Oh, yay, BH6 is out on DVD, I just added it to my queue. BabyBoy saw it and really loved it and wants the rest of us to see it, too, so that works out well.

I just sent you a gchat invite, but I'm not sure how the iPad handles gchat. But I'm sure we can work out something, thank you!

[identity profile] alphaflyer.livejournal.com 2015-03-28 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Alas, I see no such invite (just came back from X-ray). :-( so we can do e-mail or wait until I'm reunited with my Mac (hopefully some time tomorrow).

[identity profile] topaz119.livejournal.com 2015-03-28 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
We can do email if you're bored now...

[identity profile] alphaflyer.livejournal.com 2015-03-28 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Go for it! Don't seem to have yours on my iPad...

[identity profile] topaz119.livejournal.com 2015-03-28 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
coming to you

That sonnet! Have you ever seen [livejournal.com profile] pensnest's take on the same theme? (http://archiveofourown.org/works/72789) I think she just may have the tumblr version beat. :)

[identity profile] topaz119.livejournal.com 2015-04-08 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'd totally forgotten Pen had done that! Too much fun...
