Tonight I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind for the very first time. Given that this is my niece Amy’s favorite film and I adore Michel Gondry’s previous work, I really should have seen it a long time ago.

I was texting with le bf when I started watching it, and we agreed that our first date was far less awkward. At the end, I kept thinking, “Man! I’m so glad I’m not nearly that neurotic and high-maintenance!” (re: Kate Winslet’s character), but overall, I liked it. 

I definitely wouldn’t want to eradicate any part of my memory—even the parts that still hurt the most—because those things are all part of who I am today. It’s been fifteen years since I had arguably my most painful romantic experience (or at least the one I spent the most time trying to medicate), & even though I could have done without the anguish & despair, if Deb hadn’t gone through that experience with me, we might not have developed the close friendship I so treasure today, so see? Always an upside.

What did y’all think of the movie, whenever you saw it?

GO FOR IT. You’ll be glad you did, cos the only way you can learn is by messing around with the skills that tutorials teach you. You can do this! *waves pom-poms*

True.   I will try some of them.  :)

And Happy Birthday!  Love- Connie and me

Aw, I just saw this now! Thank you sooo much! {{belated birthday hugs}}

Buster Keaton|Seven Chances
Apparently, it hangs to his left.

OH MY…

Did we really need nine animated gifs of Buster’s junk?

Wait what am I saying

AUNTIE YOU ARE DRUNK, YOU KNOW NOT WHAT YOU SAY

THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE - MARK ME, STEPS WILL BE TAKEN

THE COCKS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES

I believe the expression is that he “dressed to the left,” but yes, absolutely. As I just explained to le boyfriend, who saw this on my screen, I love having friends who make gifs of Buster’s junk. He then asked, “Does Buster Keaton’s junk do stunts?”

Sophie made me start watching The Golden Girls and now whenever I see that M*A*S*H* is on, I have to stop and watch it because of Jenny—bless ‘em both. ♥

(Given the only current tv show I watch is Person Of Interest, feel free to watch that and share some endless Finch!Squee with Megan and I… ;)

Well, right back atcha, sweetie, cause if it weren’t for you I would never have found the wonderful Boosh and that fuzzy little man peach. 

D’awww…and we owe it all to David Morrissey, because he had mentioned in an interview how his son had gotten him into the Boosh & that’s why I started watching it (though being British & thus compared to Python meant I was already interested) . He’s also why I’m going to watch The Walking Dead, for that matter—though my niece tells me it’s awesome, I shy away from anything involving violence and zombies that isn’t Shaun of the Dead. LE SIGH.

Darling girlyfrens, I must again restate that if an oldtimey hardcore spinster like me can somehow hoodwink a fella into jumping her bones, anything is possible. Just sayin. (Oh, and we met via Geek2Geek. This is not a commercial endorsement though they should damned well give me some money for having said this.)

A bit of dapper older Theo because reasons

Theo is the most dapper exile in town also he either has seven shirts the same or is really careful with his clothes because these are two years apart it is entirely possible I have spent too much time thinking about this because CLIIIIIIIIIIIVE THEO THEO THEO Sugar Candy is eating my brain all I can think about is Theo and his BUTTONS  

I vote for being really careful with his clothes.  Although it would be funny if he came to England with only the shirt on his back, plus seven other identical ones.  Also, they are really taking the gray hair/mustache a little too far even for my taste.

My god, if it’s too much old-hair-make-up for you…

I was delighted that the restored!Blimp has sorted out older Theo’s face: on my dvd he looks like he’s fallen face first into a vat of talc (as you can see in these caps). So, hurrah! for Marty and his felt tip pens. 

I feel there must be a significance in ‘40 Theo wearing a collar bar and ‘42 Theo not. (Is a collar bar more European?) You can still see the holes in the shirt if you look closely no of course I don’t spend my days doing this kind of thing.

This right here is why I love Jenny and Steph so much. (And that Anton Walbrook, he’s not half bad either—thanks, Jools!) ←muchly love her too

I’m just going to leave these here

okay I lied but this really is the last of them Queen of Spades Anton Walbrook having a lot of FEELINGS yeah I never said I was deep another reason I hold this film so dear: it was the first thing Jenny ever sent me a message about which was the beginning of a beautiful friendship so here’s some sex-face Anton for you all to celebrate with seems appropriate  

AWWWW, I’m getting all choked up.  And flustered by sex face Anton.  And amused.  So many feelings. 

I was just watching Connie in The Last Perflormance—brand new DVD just arrived today!—and at one emotive closeup, I thought, “SEX FACE!” and started laughing. Because I knew you guys would think the same thing. ♥

(Still can’t cope with a stacheless Anton, though. *flails*)

Update of updateyness…

I have now seen a medical professional and do indeed have a concussion, as well as a massive muscle strain across my upper back. I’m holding off on taking the pain meds until it gets really bad again but am happy to know that I’m not going to die from my own simple inability to look where the fuck I’m going.

To all of you who sent such kind messages of support…

Ahhh…

onlythefinestvat69:

That warm fuzzy feeling when you find out that two people you follow (and also follow you) but from two different fandoms or what not actually follow each other also!

Tumblr… can be such a heart warming happy place!

I love that! I just had that happen here recently with blissed-and-gone and gorgonetta, who I know from utterly unrelated fandoms, but finding out they follow each other too was total *happydance* time for me.

gorgonetta:

valkyrien:

Theda Bara, positioning herself neatly into a tight, cornered area in what appears to be a fancy crypt.
Her cool demeanor and subtly raised eyebrow could indicate that she is in fact lying in wait to pounce on unsuspecting prey, but it could also be construed as a challenge, for while the Goth Diva uses corners and tight corridors in times of distress, the Vamp Fatale has mostly been observed using such places from which to strike at her foes from the shadows. Is this a ‘come at me, bro, and be devoured’ situation? We may never know, as none of our researchers were quite brave enough to sidle up and ask.

This does actually raise the question of whether Theda Bara was the first goth-in-corridor, although she seems perfectly at ease with the situation, unlike Peter Murphy.  I’m guessing that male-identified goths may find corridors a greater challenge, which leads us to: why the hell would they go down the damn corridors, then?  Are they hoping to find Theda Bara?  Is it just their innate longing for annihilation in action?

You guys kill me. XD
