I just saw The Jacket, and there are so many things in that movie that were left unexplained--threads that were just left hanging--or that at least The Lovely Emily and I did not understand. Sigh. Adrien Brody (who I'm not even all that fond of) and Keira Knightley were pretty awesome, however.

Aaaaaand the Fametracker forums are closing. POTO girls, feel free to come over here any time (spread the word).

(Sniff. I always told myself I'd know I'd made it as a writer when I got a thread in Publishing & Multimedia for a book I'd written. A thread! A thread of my very own! I dreamed a dream and that dream is dead! Woe.)

(I had a couple glasses of wine and a margarita tonight. Can you tell?)

Oh, I love that song. Love it love it can't stop listening to it.

[sefia.livejournal.com]

Oh man, me too... have you ever listened to the Kate Bush version? It takes some getting used to, but I actually ended up liking it more. Songs based on gothic novels are GREAT!

... that's the only one I know. ARE there any others? :/

[ambiguousreason.livejournal.com]

Was it good despite the unexplained threads? I really like Keira, but I don't know if I want to see it.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I... think I liked it. Keira's really good in it. Some of the beginning is kind of unpleasant--he's in the Gulf War, gets wounded, gritty flashbacks, etc. If you liked Donnie Darko and 12 Monkeys--it's got a similar timeline-jumping kind of thing. (Note: those comparisons do not give away the ending. In fact, I'm still not sure what the ending WAS.)

THIS COMMENT HAS NO SUBSTANCE WHATSOEVER. I'm done now.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Whee!

[supersyncspaz7.livejournal.com]

Upon seeing it, all I could think was: what am I going to do without the P&M forums?! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?! A quarter of my posts over there are in that section. A QUARTER.

Is it bad that I automatically dismiss any movie with KK in it?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I really like her, so I'll say... "yes." ; )

Death of FT

[(Anonymous)]

I'm heartbroken that we're losing the forums. So glad you don't mind taking some of us POTO people in. I'm trying to organize something for the Gerard Butler thread denizens as I write this. *sob*

Yay! I kind want to post something to that effect, except that I'm afraid that Wing will ban me. But if you're in contact with any FTers who... well, who like... uh... the things I like? Lost, POTO, movies in general, good books, hot guys, awesome chicks, I dunno...? Tell 'em that they're more than welcome to hang out over here.

(I wonder if someone will set up an FT refugee EZ board or something.)

Hee hee. And I see another obsessive Gerry fan is born. I never watch Ellen either (and now I know why--seriously strange show), but I did watch it this week just for Gerry. Hee hee! Isn't his accent fabulous? I think Scottish accents (but especially his) are divine. And I've heard American accents are considered sexy over there (especially if there's a Southern drawl). =)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Woot!

Yeah, I had never actually watched Ellen before, and while I like Ellen herself, I was sort of like, "Dancing in the audience to '80s funk with monkey puppets whaaaaaaat?"

[la-sonnambula.livejournal.com]

Awwww. FT is where I first "met" you. Oh vell, we'll always have Paris.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Awww! I've met so many people through FT--and known them for so long now that I totally forget that's how it happened. In fact, I got my LJ code from an FTer. : )

[dreamingenigma.livejournal.com]

I'm soooooooo upset about the FT forums closing. I'm not kidding. Where will I get my fix?

[edda.livejournal.com]

Which thread is yours? I didn't see one that overtly had your name, just now...

And fooey. What will I complain about now?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I don't have one--that's what I'm saying: I never will now. Sniff.

[br0k3nsoul.livejournal.com]

This is so pathetic, but I nearly had a panic attack when I found out the FT forums were closing. I've met the most wonderful people there and get to have the greatest conversations and now... :(

Random - what's your icon from? The picture looks manga-ish (and, you know, really pretty).

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Reiko Shimizu artwork, I think--the Miracle Tarot. Gorgeous--I've been trying to find a good copy of the set for a couple years now. : )

[ohsobulletproof.livejournal.com]

That's so weird cause I just got back from seeing The Jacket as well. I really really liked it? The scarier thing is, I understood every bit of it. x________________x

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I understood the main plot. But let me ask you--Anyway.

[dreagonfli.livejournal.com]

Wow, I thought The Jacket was farrr away from releasing. Probably because it premiered at Sundance. I still have to see it. And I'm not terribly fond of Adrien or Keira. But it looks good.

[wirrrn.livejournal.com]

Hey,

So is THE JACKET a horror flick, a suspenser, a thriller, or what?

And yes please, hit me with the Kate Bush Thang

(note please do not actually *hit me* with Kate Bush) *g*


Wirrrn!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

It's not outright horror. I hesitate to say it's a thriller... Seriously, I would very much compare it to Donnie Darko and 12 Monkeys. Possibly Jacob's Ladder, which I haven't seen, so that's not necessarily an informed comparison, but I'm hearing it a lot.

[meredith-mae.livejournal.com]

I saw the Jacket tonight too. Before the movie 3 people asked my friend's magic 8 ball if it would be good and it said yes 3 times. Afterwards, my friend said, "The magic 8 ball was wrong."

Adrien Brody was pretty good. Kiera not so much. Story was not as good as it could have been and way too many lose ends. And the end kind of struck me as pedophilian.. pedophillic... whatever. It was disappointing int he way Taking Lives and The Fogotten were disappointing - they all could have been so much better. But sadly, weren't.

I took a potty break at a crucial time(maybe?), did they explain the relationship of the kid(babek?) to Stark?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah--

FT Forums

Man, I'm bummed about the FameTracker Forums too. I didn't post over there - but I read the POTO, Pretty, Ugly, Celebrity Plastic Surgery threads all the time. Loved the people that posted - totally brought the snark, the love, and the funny.

BTW, Anyone who saw Gerard Butler on Ellen (I didn't expect him to be such a goof. Very charming.) Did anyone recognize the music he was introduced with? Trying to find out who that is ....

No more FT forums? Noo! Where will I get my fill of Absurd and Humorous Websites?

This is sad news indeed.

[kismeteve.livejournal.com]

The Jacket made all kinds of no sense, but Adrien Brody was mighty pretty.
