I saw The Muppets on Valentine's night.
I enjoyed it, it's great fun. A lot of genuinely amusing bits, and I loved how it was firmly tongue in cheek and very self-aware. Had that 'adults might actually enjoy this more than kids' feel. Adam and Segel had very little to do/weren't as engaging as the Muppets, but that was probably intentional. I loved that she was a beloved mechanics teacher. / all the musical numbers.
I loved how it just takes place in a universe where puppet people are just an accepted thing/unquestioned.
And the cameo from Feist was so random. Yet I can imagine her living in this universe.

Until Spotify proves it has everything I want to listen to, I refuse to even entertain the idea that it could replace my itunes collection. Too many greyed out albums/tracks.

The mini Hamish in Magnus' one looks exactly like you. Except the tongue. Obviously.

I like the cover.

I'm jealous you got to see them then, they were definitely at their best at that time/during that album. Celebrity Skin went platinum too, but I thought it was mediocre. The latest album has a few good songs, but yeah. Live Through This : peace:
Celebrity Skin is a good album for sure and I like a lot of the songs, but it's too polished. Live Through This is their perfect sound, not as oppressively rough as Pretty On The Inside, but still raw.
I saw them (or rather her and the new 'Hole') in 2010 when they toured the last album, it was a great gig - she was really on form, and it really felt like a rock concert, tonnes of crowd interaction (people coming on stage etc). She's a great frontwoman.

I miss Razz, he was stunning and loved Tori Amos.

HORRIFIC I know but I only today finally bought her first two albums. I have the first on vinyl but just always felt like I had the singles already and never felt the need for the albums proper. But I felt dirty and not a true fan until now. Plus I'm so in the mood for that hair, and tonnes of chunky bracelets and layered clothes, synths dancing in my ears all around me.
Appreciate her first EVER performance as a solo artist. The forgotten first single.

(Ignore the video.)
Hole are just so great. Of course, this album is nothing compared to Live Through This, but still.
This is one of the few I listen to from their/her last one. Nothing on the earlier albums but still fun.
I bought a Hole jumper/sweater from Camden market today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Let's get married

The other day I took out a few films that I always meant to watch but always forgot about.
The Fifth Element
One of those ones where you're kinda like "..." while watching, then you realised you loved it once it's over. I love how it didn't take itself AT ALL seriously. And Chris Tucker's character was sensational. Such a joke. Milla Jovovich's hair was so annoying with it's roots, but she stuns me so it's fine. Gary Oldman was very entertaining too.
I loved this! It was really good, well acted and written, yet felt so concise and to the point. Like the point of making it was just to prove you can do this stuff well if you just try. Some genuinely disgusting bits (as I'd heard) but relatively tame by today's standards. I can't tell if I liked Geena Davis' character or not, but she felt well done so it's ok. I really enjoy how unpretty she is, she just looks like a normal woman. (I watched Thelma and Louise for the first time too the other day and was blown away by it/her)
Yeah I recommend this. Also watched The Fly II as it came in the same dvd case. HMMMM! is all I'll say. / I'll add that it's not worth watching and I wanted everyone in it to burn in hell.

Power Girl loses boob window shocker.
I love her 90's Soccer Mom hair.

No cause that's mean on my family/I agreed to it and I'm not paying for the holiday.
It's fine cause Chair bought tickets for the London show on the 17th now, when I'm still in the country. I'll just have to sell my Edinburgh ones when I get them/when they're all sold out.
-
The Madonna tickets I bought and was so fucking excited about are now nothing to me as I got the dates my family and I are going to Turkey wrong, we're in fact going to be away the date of the concert.
So now I'm £137 down on my very minimal bank account but mostly really really upset I'm missing the one show on earth I'd most want to see. Can't believe it.
And my family never go on holiday anymore...the one time...
I'm going to wear black and lie in a ball on the floor I also managed to damage with water the other day. Maybe I'll be fined by the landlord too, above everything.
I just don't care anymore. She'll die next year and I'll have never seen her. *starts to dig own grave*
-
Yes.
I like the album, but the hype/hatred/media circus is bizarre. It is what it is. She's not going to change music.
-
I like Madonna. I really do enjoy her music but I'm not sure about that performance. Perfect? It was a little lazy & as far as I'm concerned if you're going to lip-sing...uhr -- no. I'm presuming though, it sounds like she did.
It was enjoyable, I'll admit. It kept my attention for the full 12 / 13 mins.
She doesn't lip sync normally - she only did so because this is the most watched few hours of television of the year in the US. And this superbowl actually ended up being the most watched show in television history. (Not sure if just in the US or the world)
She wanted it to go without a hitch, so I forgive her lipsyncing, as she actually bothered to rerecord all the vocals - it wasn't like it was just the album track playing in the background.

aaaaaaannnnd I'm seeing her in July with Chairdriver! Wooooooo!
My body is ready.
-
Marry The Night was obviously the last proper single. I'd be surprised at any more released. It's floppage was probably rather disorientating for her (and unfair to the song, which is brilliant).
I'm in so much more of a Madonna mood atm (in about 3 minutes will be buying Madonna tickets), but would like to see Gaga too. Glad her UK dates will be later in the year and not announced right now.

Really? strange artificially created suit using peters dna, vs alien symbiote its always been the alien for me,
but in Rami's spider-man 3? they'd never even mentioned parkers parents in that trilogy, bringing in a suit his father and brock's created to cure cancer would have been a film on its own, can you imagine how crammed full the film would have been going down that route?
Not exactly as it is in the Ultimate one with all the backstory, just that the suit would have been much more easily added to the film through scientific origin/the 'cancer cure' thing - rather than an utterly stupid black blob that fell from the sky. Woulda taken like 3 minutes to explain it better and then that could've been that.
And the film being crammed is another issue.
-
So they are mixing ultimate spider-man and normal marvel story lines perhaps?
I can live with that as long as we don't get a ultimate version of venom or Eddie brock
The Ultimate Venom would have been a FAR better way of doing Venom in Spider-Man 3.

Happy Birthday
You make me sique

I've only seen one concert there before and was seated (and have seen tonnes of rugby matches and things there, again seated)...
But it was confusing finding my way around last time. Only cause I was late and missed my party sitting down.
-
Madonna is playing Murrayfield stadium in Edinburgh. When I'm there.
I never imagined this day would come. But then she's always had such a soft spot for Scotland.

I know her tickets are outrageously expensive - she even admitted as much on tv recently (I love though, not even trying to lie). I'll get the cheapest seat and love it. I NEED TO.
And after watching her flawless Superbowl performance I'm even more in the mood. The queen of life.
-
I'm incredibly lucky in that I 'know I'll be fine whatever happens' - in the sense that a sole wealthy relative basically pays for all the significant lump sums in my sister and I's life (i.e fees, bills - not for like things we like the look of...), and when he dies I/we get his rather...unique...property/land. I take that for granted way too much.
I need to find a job. I hate rejections. / I apply for like 3 places at a time and somehow hope one of those 3 will fall in love with my lack of experience.

Was so ill/feverish/shaking/weak last few days. Now that's all gone, my mouth is in intense pain. What I thought was just an annoyingly placed mouth ulcer has now spread it's insidious influence around my mouth leading me to think it's some sort of...gum infection (my teeth aren't sensitive or sore at all)? It's really painful and I can't eat properly without food touching one of the sensitive areas in my mouth and making me internally crai.
I tried having a mcdonalds today and ended up having one and a half chicken selects and half a pack of medium fries. Managed a banana an hour or so ago too. First bite was agony though.
I NEED an appointment at the uni doctor's tomorrow, I don't care what the rude bitch behind the desk says about same day appointments. I'll punch her in the mouth then she'll know how I feel.

I loved The Illusionist! I saw it in the very cinema in Edinburgh the character goes into in the film - it was so surreal.

Yeah that was good. Selena Gomez and the boy from Modern Family felt a bit "...". Like..why?
