ripping off each other's clothes for an afternoon of steamy rumpy-pumpy

so anyway, i was looking up movies, and i've been reminded of a few that look simply BADASS. for starters, fucking sky captain which, as greg of yahoo movies's "greg's movie previews" says, has a veritable "veneer of movie fan boy coolness." those of you who think it looks, well, stupid, i supose i can see where you're comming from. that is, i can understand what i might be like to be so bland, closed-minded and generally unintelligent. but then, maybe this sort of thing is just right up my alley, because it includes not just ONE, but SEVERAL or the following:
1. giant robots
2. airplanes, and some sort of airplane-ish THING, which likely fires LASERS or some sort
3. lasers on the giants robots
4. likely lasers in general
5. angelina jolie
6. a villian named "dr. totenkopf" (for those of you who don't spreche german, roughly translated "totenkopf" means "dead head")
7. giant robots
honestly, with a list like that, how could you NOT love it?

second on our list for tonight is, of course, the cream-worthy van helsing, staring the deffinite badass of our time (discounting, possibly, vin), mr. hugh (or, as i like to call him "huge") jackman. unless you're a fucking idiot, you know that he was wolverine in x-men and, uh, x2. he also makes me feel...powerful. and, possibly, like having sex with men. it is also worth nothing that this film will also feature kate beckinsdale, whom i am kind of assuming is hot, and richard roxburgh, whom you also all know as the delightfully rat-ish duke in moulin rouge. a deffinite bevy of, uh, cool...stuff.

also, the Fresh Prince is in a upcomming adaptation of isaac asimov's "i, robot." i am excited about this becuase, well, it has ROBOTS, as well as will smith, who is, succinctly, THE MAN, but will and isaac...not a pairing i would have predicted. anyway, this fancy little project is being directed by alex proyas, of dark city and the crow fame. continueing his inexplicable connection to actors who were in a knight's tale, (rufus sewell was the protagonist in dark city), alan tudyk, who played wot in tale, and was just the cutest little thing EVER, has been confirmed as the primary robotic suspect. this movie will also feature shia lebeouf.

lastly, antoine fuqua is bringing to the screen a film called "king arthur." not suprisingly, it is about the british monarch or the same name. the difference between this film and arther films which have gone before is that here fuqua aims to show a somewhat more "realistic" version of events: instead of focusing on the mythology of the famous ruler, the movie will focus on who an actual king arthur might have been like. it starts the transcendant (i just felt like calling him that, no real reason) clive owen ad the once and future king, kiera knightly as, duh, guinevere, and this guy as lanelot. also, i just discovered that keira, who will have my babies, was, at some point in her career, in a film called "thunderpants." sadly, the title acutally means what you think it means, as the film carries this plot outline: "an 11-year-old boy's amazing ability to break wind leads him first to fame and then to death row, before it helps him to fulfill his ambition of becoming an astronaut." wow. right there, you have the casablanca of the twenty-first century. thuderpants also stars poor, poor rupert grint. it is the only film on his resume that is not somehow related to harry potter.

OK, i think that is enough for one night. i am going to go pack now. have a good weekend kids. happy day after christmas, eighth day of chanukah, and boxing day. any other winter holiday doesn't merit mention, to paraphrase jon stewart talking about the mtarix revolutions, "because it blooooows."
