castalieEeek, I received my But I'm a Cheerleader DVD this morning! Didn't waste any time watching it and OMG that movie is absolutely brilliant!
It's hilarious and awfully sweet with some really sexy and sensual moments and it's of course cynical and satyrical... which is sorta the point of the movie *eg* The thought that rehabilitation camps like "True Directions" do exist is pretty disturbing and chilling. And the narrow-mindness, hypocrisy and mislead-well-meaning attitude of all the Parents was painful too. The story, the characters, the situation were so very funny, but you were never meant to forget that behind all those hid pure homophobia - in its different incarnations. The movie was multi-layered, which I enjoyed a lot. And the kitsch, oh the kitsch! Almost killed me lol
What almost killed me as well was Step 2 *points to subject* I rewound the whole part several times, I couldn't stop laughing. I felt almost bad for all the members of the 'heterosexual lifestyle' though, seriously - it was also nice to see straight people categorised and stereotyped *g* As for the true homophobes? Well, they were nicely disgusting.
Anyway, I loved the movie and loved the sweet romance and everything that happened all around - it's that simple. Huge thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
crazybutsound who rec'ced the movie to me - another lesbian success story [/Melanie] I think I'm going to watch it again before leaving this afternoon.
Oh and last night I finished Fatal Shadows, sadly. I tried to make it last, I really did, but try making last a book that's only 145 pages long, it's near impossible! *sigh* Anyway, it was good and I officially became a Josh Lanyon fan. I say officially because I loved A Dangerous Thing [the sequel] but now that I read the first part, it's official *g* And I'm in love with Jake and Adrien too because damn! I had some high expectations about their meeting and how things started, and said expectations were met, I wasn't disappointed in the slightest *g*
Though all those mystery novels aren't always that mysterious since it's not always that difficult to find who the culprits are, but I can't say I care that much since usually I'm all focused on the characters *g*
Anyway, if you're looking for new books to read, you could try those ones, I'm just sayin'.
ETA: Okay so the UK landed the rights to Lost and it'll air in January? Hey look, its getting closer and closer to France! I wonder when in 2005 TF1 is supposed to air the show itself, like January or October? *snicker* Though I'm not making fun of TF1 because, hey, they did buy the show. Good TF1, good. Besides I'm not so keen on trying the French version. But you know, the sooner it'll air around here, the sooner we'll be able to start dreaming of the DVDs being released too - Region 2. Unless by then I have a multi-region DVD, mind. Ah sweet dreams *g*
