So I've been listening to Sigur Ros's Hoppipolla on replay for a while now. I--

I should mention that I believe this is going to be a completely pointless journal in terms of deep meditation on the enigmas and obscurities of life--

discovered the song when I watched Penelope. That movie with the adorable Christina Ricci with the pig snout and all. I thought it was going to be retarded but it wasn't, or I didn't think it was. I...rather liked it. Fuck the critics. I usually agree with them but not in this case.

So I've known about James McAvoy basically since he played Mr. Tumnus, except I didn't know it was him, I just thought Mr Tumnus looked a bit too sexy to be a socially retarded fawn. I learned of his actual name when he played that doctor in The Last King of Scotland. So that was earlier on in his career, or at least before he got famous and started appearing in every other movie. I'm a McAvoy veteran, sort of, well not really, but in comparison to most people, yeah.

So he got famous among my peers when he played in Becoming Jane. With Anne Hathaway (I still love that that's the name of Shakespeare's wife). So that's about when all my friends became McAvoy groupies and yammered on and on about his beautiful blue eyes and blah blah--

I've never been a McAvoy groupie. I mean, yes, I thought Mr Tumnus was too sexy, but I mean, how sexy is a fawn supposed to be in a children's movie. Alright. I didn't find him hot in Becoming Jane, not in Atonement, not in Starter For Ten, etc. etc. etc. and I've yet to see Wanted, and no offense to him because I still think he's a splendid actor and attractive in his own right, which brings me to my next thing--

MAY I SAY HE LOOKED ABSOLUTELY EDIBLE IN PENELOPE. Oh dear. I thought I was going to faint.


And maybe something's wrong with me, but like---is Peter Dinklage's voice like, sexy? Honestly. I've seen him in movies before, but like, in Penelope, he opened his mouth and I was like @____@ wha--? I just thought I'd throw that out there. I like voices like that. I mean, I also like the whole whispery-sexy thing that Christian Bale does, and all, but Peter Dinklage has definitely got something going for him in his throat, and that sounds odd but I mean it in the way that I said.

Maybe there really is something wrong with me.

Which brings me to my next thing, sort of, okay maybe it's completely unrelated, but--

Can I say Robert Downey, Jr makes life worthwhile? I have never seen a guy who can deliver lines in such a funny fashion where the same words would fall completely flat on someone else's tongue. He is a pleasure to watch. And to listen to. Yeah, Iron Man is overrated and all, but Robert is not. Ha. I saw him first in The Shaggy Dog so I've always been reluctant to find him hot, since, like, he was in The Shaggy Dog (is that even the title?), but I finally admit it. There we go. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang did it for me. Well, actually Charlie Bartlett did it for me but I'll never admit that I watched that.

Except I just did. Oh well.

So you see I'm a bit of a movie junkie. I actually should be reading, like, about the fucking Pilgrims and George Washington since my summer has a month to go until all my work is due and I still have hugeass chemistry and math packets to do that I have absolutely no idea how to do, so since I really don't care about pilgrims and I don't know how to do my other assignments and I'm stranded in China with no friends I just watch movies. And eat fruit. Like mango. Mango is yummy.
