I just wanted to sort of remind everyone that it's my birthday in less than a week — next Wednesday, to be precise.  So if anyone wants to make me REALLY happy, I would adore some birthday fic (or art, if you don't write).  I don't know, it's probably uncouth and makes me sound greedy to just put it out there like that... but, well.  I rarely get what I want for my birthdays.

(And if you want to but you don't know what I might like, just ask. *cough*)

I keep meaning to mention this on the heals of another post, so as to be more "subtle" about it.  But that keeps not happening.  So there you go: blatant, shameless solicitation.  Because subtlety is overrated, anyway. :P




But to make this post not completely gratuitous...

I just saw Say Uncle.

It... was good.  Probably not among my favorite movies of all time, because like many indie films, it's one of those quiet little slice-of-life pictures that you might be glad you saw, but most likely won't be rewatching.  At least, that's how I feel about those kinds of movies.  (Plus, I was a little disappointed that a couple of the side storylines never really got resolved: ( spoilersCollapse ).)

That said, I love Peter Paige beyond what words can reasonably express.  And Lisa Edelstein — though her role was smaller than I had hoped — is pretty amazing as well.  For them alone, I would totally recommend seeing this movie.

I can't decide whether I love or hate Andy Dick right now.  I'm watching the 2006 Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner (which is overall hilarious, let me just say), and Andy's one of the roasters... and he's been giving off some very mixed signals in terms of his likability.

In the minus column:

On the other hand, in the plus column:

( hilarious/awesome things Andy Dick did during the roastCollapse )


So... I'm conflicted, here.  On the one hand, the homophobic-seeming stuff makes it a lot harder to enjoy his otherwise brilliant tribute to the cornerstone of slash.  I mean, for goodness sake, how are you going to make gay jokes about others when you can't take one yourself?  But on the other hand... MPREG AND GARY STU REFERENCES!  Dude, come on.  How do I not love a guy for that?

Of course, the licking was probably more WTF than anything else.  But I was still quite amused by it.  So, I dunno.


A few side notes:

* Betty White is a dirty little old lady... and I love it.  How did I never know this about her?
* I also didn't realize George Takei had such a sexy voice.  I mean, physically, he's so not my type; but... yum.
* Did you guys know Shatner was the guy in that Twilight Zone episode where there's something on the wing of the plane?  I totally didn't.  O.o
