...okay, I can somehow see how depressing it is that when faced with nothing! of interest! to do this fine evening, I immediately whip out the laptop, even if I had already spent the entire day in front of it, instead of doing something like MAYBE DRAWING AGAIN SELF, YOU LAZY FUCK or like, even reading the tour-guide book on Prague I bought yesterday. HMM o internets, how large your stake in my soul and mental wellbeing is! I was seriously antsy when I was thinking of the fact that I hadn't checked my mail in GASP two hours lolol not a good sign, eh?
BUT what I had meant to write about since BKK was getting to see Bangkok Dangerous with Migel! Now, we went into the movie expecting something quite shitty that we could spend the entire movie mocking and I was hoping for some nice shots of BKK and a rousing game of "spot the location!" in a place that I finally know quite well, BUT! Surprise suprise, it turned out to be quite fun to watch! Now, my disdain for Nicholas Cage is great, especially in his latter ratty toupee-wearing days and the eyeliner he seems to be sporting in this movie, which manages to utterly throw me out of every serious scene he's in, yet all in all he's an okay lead. The story of a hitman who gains a heart isn't exactly groundbreakingly rewritten here, but the Thai "sidekick" Kong is cool, funny (and HOT), and the bits in the beginning before he warms up to Nic Cage and vice versa are a hilarious lesson in how to say "Fuck you", "Duck-fucker" and "Fuck your mother" in Thai :Dbb Also, the main henchman to the Baddie is played by a platinum-haired Dom Hetrakul, which is like, extra LOLS. But fear not, there are still enough scenes that had us cringing in our seats and slapping our foreheads in sheer visceral embarrassment, because OMG the "romance" between Nic Cage's chara and the deaf-mute local girl pharmacist is so painful to watch (the orig BKK Dangerous had the main assassin dude as a deaf-mute, the Hollywood version obv made some rewrites, though it's still directed by the Pang Brothers). It just hits all the cliches of "jaded farang falls for sweet, docile local chick", and makes it all the more creepy and weird for the even larger lack of real communication gap between them and main assassin dude's stalkeresque courtship. BRR. This movie also feature ELEPHANTS OF METAPHORICAL SIGNIFICANCE! That SUDDENLY APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE. DOWNTOWN! EATING MORNING GLORY BY A KLONG! ON A PAINTING! DURING A STREET FAIR! Etc, etc. All in all, the movie is really just a good case of popcorn flair, but it was entertaining enough and I liked the way it was shot, the BKK visuals and locations and the sheer lols for monetary value you get out of it. C-check it out, if any of you guys can!
OH and to conclude on some SPN fannish glee, apparently the internet tells me that JARED AND JENSEN LIVE TOGETHER NOW???. Oh god, it's like a million J2 RPS fic came true. I just... ♥♥♥!!! SO AWESOME. Also awesome is this picspam of the boys at some Redbull promo race thing, that further proves to me that A)JP is a GIANT HUNK OF MAN MOUNTAINthat begs to be mounted, B) Aviator sunglasses are NEVER NOT HOT, rowr (Jensen has the kind of lameass looking practical sport sunglasses that I have too lol) and C) Hockey jerseys are mysteriously insanely attractive to me. Gahh~
