Cinematic Awesomeness

[jchrisobrien]

Each trailer I see for Xmen:the Last Stand sends my inner comic geek screaming with joy.  When I rediscovered comics late in high school, Uncanny X-Men was the gateway.  Seeing bits and pieces from the movies, especially the uses of mutant powers or scenes lifted right out of the comics, sets off little endorphin bombs of glee in my brain.

As for endorphin bombs of a different sort...

I finally watched Secretary last night.  Very good, very hot movie.  The hottest part of the movie for me?  The scene where Maggie Gyllenhall's hands are on the desk, and James Spader's hand is right next to hers.  After a point, Maggie's pinkie slides over and curls tightly around James' finger.  It's a subtle little thing, but it conveys so much hotness.  Yow.

Love that movie. Another scene which is my fav is when the ex comes in and she pins Maggie as a sub, and shortly after the "sub" snaps and gets bitchy. Every time I see a typewriter I still chuckle.

I found it neat how Maggie also started getting more aggressive after those comments. Topping from the bottom...

hehehehe, oh yeah. i felt the ending could have been better, but it fit the scene so well. reminds me that the sub has more controll. though, i would have NEVER sat in that wedding dress and tinkled all over myself!! yes, it brought a very touching scene of him bathing her, but still!

that was pretty hardcore. I mean, the ending did seem very tame, but even though their relationship had a lot of S&M in it, it was about love too. About two people who fit each other oh so well.

Besides, just because you're into S&M doesn't mean you are doing it 24/7.

true, i understand all that, and i was not even expecting an s&m ending. i understood what she was doing and why. i am just picky about movie endings in general.

i'm so excited for that movie. even the posters get me going...or maybe that's just becuase i think there are few things sexier than a man with wings...anyhow, i'm excited for it to come out

The posters are all nicely done. Even with the new director, the feeling of everything I've seen seems awesome.

I got to see the secretary, with a group chosen from the SM scene in SF...

it was 40 people in all black, and then the Press.. (giggle)

SO:
there was half the crowd cheering, laughing, crying - and half the crowd - busily takeing notes....

After the movie - we went as a group to dinner - and discussion - it was enlightening - because - may of the people in the group - did not ever meet someone who was a self cutter in the Scene before.

which boggled MY mind.

But yeah ! it is SO sweet and romantic. -sigh-

LOL, boggles my mind too, hehehehehe. I met my first one my freshman year in highschool. She was one hip chick, and no one knew. I only found out when we were in track and her pants had a hole in it and I saw the damage and asked her about it. Opened up a whole new world for me, to say the least.
