watching iron man on demand

so yeah, iron man fucking ruled!
you of course know of my immense love of robert downey jr, and the movie was fun, inspired, and well done aesthetically, technically, and the performances were engaging. of course it was formulaic, it's a comic book movie. i'm about to go out and buy tropic thunder and have myself a little rdj filmfest perhaps. i hope the avengers teaser is part of it... and yes it was. samuel l. jackson as nick fury was fierrrrrrce. it made me almost as happy as seeing rdj at the end of the hulk, even though i made everyone wait for the avengers teaser after that and it didn't happen. i need to actually read the avengers now, haha.
ok nevermind, the seven samurai is free on demand, tropic thunder can wait for another day.
i started twilight yesterday, and it is lovely gothic crap. i wish it was written by caitlin r. kiernan or poppy z brite though, it's much too chaste and not well written, but it's still fun. and the goth kids v. vampires south park made my life last night. the goth kids have long been my favorite characters (besides ike), and all the faux goth rock songs were fucking hilarious, i'll find a clip at some point and link it here.
a week til my birthday!

ROBERT DOWNEY JR IS MY BIG GAY CRUSH OF THE WEEK

ok anyone who has ever met me probably knows that my biggest love on the silver screen is

ROBERT DOWNEY JR.

i was first introduced to his "ness" (my word for essence) in my favorite film of all time (all together now:)

NATURAL BORN KILLERS.

i own three copies of this film, because one time i lost one, and the first version i bought was not the directors cut, which has tommy lee jones' head on a stake outside the prison, and woody harrelson raping the hostage that it's implied he rapes in the r-rated film.

the worst mistake of my life?

that i bought the r-rated version of terror firmer

the first thing that happens in this, my second favorite film, is that some sleazy dude says to the transsexual serial killer "mmm just the kind of king size pussy that i like!" and the bitch tears off his leg as he cries "hey that's my leg!"

in the r-rated version, "pussy" is bleeped, and there is a huge box that says "censored" over the severance of the leg

the rest of the film continues with the director, lloyd kaufman, commenting in the corner

it's safe to say i only last about five minutes with this
I NEED THE X-RATED VERSION!

ok sorry too much vodka to focus on my objective with this post, which is to discuss RDJ, also known as "wayne gale!"

he apparently thought up the idea of that character, host of the sensationalistic show "american psychos" in NBK, would be australian. it makes him very funny, and very sexy, especially as he becomes a willing accomplice in mickey and mallory's murders to escape from prison in the second act of this flawless film.

apparently he was nominated for an oscar for his portrayal of charlie chaplin in the eponymous film

he also charmed my pants off as a fucking crazy druggie in a scanner darkly, which features the coolest animation of any film i've ever seen

by the way, who the fuck borrowed waking life from me? i forgot!

uh oh RDJ back on tv intermission

ooo jay baruchel

o shit justin theroux worked on tropic thunder, as co-writer/producer! that's fucking awesome. he is most famous with me (phrase courtesy of my old southern paw) for being in mulholland drive, david lynch's lesbian mindfuck, as the cuckolded director

anyway i like jay baruchel, he's such a cute jewish hippiepunk stoner.

but RDJ!

he did lots of drugs and that's obviously hot

he's sober now and working hard, which would be less hot if he was
i still need to see iron man, but i won't miss his ass in tropic thunder, that's for sure

I LOVE YOU FOREVER ROBERT DOWNEY JUNIOR! YOU ARE MY BIG GAY CRUSH OF THE WEEK!
