this is awesome :D

[shinealightonme]

Thanks! Love your icons ^__^

I don't even know the show, but this was cute and hilarious. Like the song choice. I may have to watch Warehouse 13 now, what is it about, exactly? Oh, and happy holidays Shine!

[shinealightonme]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it even without knowing the show.

I love Warehouse 13 - it's very fun and silly. It's about two Secret Service agents (Pete and Myka) who have to hunt down weird sci-fi objects that cause trouble. You should definitely check it out! (Though, warning, the pilot is kind of meh. Not bad, but not great)

Happy holidays to you too love!

Lol. I don't even know the show, but I love this song soooo much. I dance to it at least once a week.

[shinealightonme]

As in..."It's been ONE WEEK since I danced to this song?" Hee.

It is indeed a great song. Listening to it a million times over was no hardship XD

[bookgodess15.livejournal.com]

Ha ha.

Guess who I'm watching right now? Anton Yelchin! I'm starting to understand your fascination with him, he's absolutely adorable.

[shinealightonme]

Wait...you're watching Anton Yelchin? As in, right now? Because dude, I'm stalking him too, I'm just outside his house -

Oh. You probably mean you are watching him act in something. AHAHAHA my bad.

(so what are you watching? Obvious suspects are Criminal Minds and Star Trek, and it's not like you ever watch any other TV shows or movies...)

[bookgodess15.livejournal.com]

I'm using my Super Sekrit Night Vision Goggles to peer through the tinted windows of his bedroom. *shifty eyes* DON'T TELL ANYONE MY POSITION.

My brother's watching the latest Terminator (over)production. I'd rather be watching Star Trek, at least that movie's vaguely interesting.

[shinealightonme]

SWEAR I WON'T. STALKER'S HONOR.

Oh. It is a shame about that new Terminator movie. I REALLY wanted to like it *sigh* I'm mean, I want to marry like Anton, and I like Christian Bale, and the special effects were ~*~pretty~*~, but it just...wasn't good. BAH.

At least it's not as bad as Phantom Menace or the golden Compass, both of which ALSO should have been good and ALSO had good actors.

[bookgodess15.livejournal.com]

It's all very dark and depressing, and I've never really cared for the Terminator franchise anyway. Oh well. It's a load better than Phantom Menace, there's no freaking Jar Jar Binks.

I suppose it's just as well. I made them sit through Chicago last night.

[shinealightonme]

Well, I only really see Terminators 3&4 as being dark and depressing. Because 1&2 have this overall message of "Well, the future is going to be shit, but we can change that! It's not too late!" Whereas 3&4 are like "...it is too late. WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING, LIFE SUCKS."

Which is why franchises can change characters and writers and setting, etc., but they really shouldn't change their raison d'etre. Because that's just weird.

I like the Chicago movie. Mostly I hate Renee Zellwegger, and I still hate her in that movie, but I like the movie in spite of her.

[bookgodess15.livejournal.com]

I've seen Terminator 1, and that was cool. And then there was 2, which I've only seen the last ten minutes of, so I can't fairly judge that. T3, I spent most of the time laughing because really? And T4... Ugh. I think half the problem was that I couldn't tell the two main characters apart. *g*

Ugh. At least when Arnold was in them, you could have fun mimicking his lines.

I absolutely love the movie Chicago. I mean, the musical is okay (there isn't a character in it that doesn't annoy me), but the way that the director adapted it to film is simply amazing. I can't wait to see what he does with Nine.

BTW, is that an Anton I spy in your icon?

[shinealightonme]

Terminator 2 is widely regarded as the best Terminator movie, so I would recommend watching it, except, you know, it's you I'm talking to. *g* I had lunch with an old high school friend of mine the other day who reminds me of you in that she's never seen movies I talk about, even a lot of things I tend to think of as "ZOMG CLASSICS EVERYONE HAS SEEN THESE."

Sam Worthington and Christian Bale do look an awful lot alike, don't they? And here's another example of awful advertising, though in a different way than the District 9 problem: the T4 ads COMPLETELY give it away that Sam is a terminator, but then in the movie they act like it's supposed to be A BIG SURPRISE!!!!one! So, ah, no idea what the hell they were thinking of there.

HEY THERE. NO DISSING MY GOVERNATOR.

Chicago is amazing - I've never seen the musical in any other medium, so I don't know how it compares, but I love the movie.

YES that is one of my Anton icons. Here's another! *has five*

[bookgodess15.livejournal.com]

Yeah... T2 is probably not going to happen of my own will. It's not that I don't appreciate good movies--I do--it's just that I'm not motivated to watch them. I feel like I keep telling you this. It's because I feel guilty, I think. Maybe I should be proud of my aversion to movies!

OMG THEY DO. I hadn't seen the adverts for T4, but I figured that he was part terminator when he was getting banged around so much without even a scratch. But whatever, the movie sucked. Bad advertising, bad movie, bad CGI... Blah. Let's just forget that I ever wasted minutes of my life watching it.

What? The governator that's bankrupting you guys? Yes, let's talk about him!

I haven't seen it actually done on stage, but the way the movie is done just... It captures the theatrical essence of it, and then makes it pretty with film. It doesn't detract from the show itself. If that makes sense.

[shinealightonme]

This is definitely not the first time we've had this conversation XD and hey, there are worse things in life than not being motivated to watch movies all the time. Like being overly motivated to watch movies, at the expensive of everything else. *cough* NOT THAT WE KNOW ANYONE LIKE THAT.

Hey, I don't like the guy's politics. I just love that we have the most badass governor EVER. And that he could TOTALLY KICK THE ASSES OF EVERY OTHER GOVERNOR.

No, you definitely make sense. Chicago is just a very well done film, for sure.

[bookgodess15.livejournal.com]

This is very true--I never waste my time by procrastinating with mindless, hours-on-end-consuming...

Oh, wait. Yes, I do. I think it's also a rule that during exams/the night before a huge paper is due/right before you have to leave for class, you will encounter something so awesome, it is not to be believed, that will take up several hours of time. It's utterly pointless, but usually so addicting that you just can't stop reading/watching it, and you do it even though you have that exam/paper/class to do/get to. Really. I'm thinking of publishing it.

Psht. Bitch, please. Sarah Palin could whoop Arnie's ass across the Rockies. (And yeah, I know, she's not governor anymore, but I don't actually know any other governors...)

Merry Christmas, by the way!

[shinealightonme]

I would read such a paper, if you published it. Probably I would read it the night before an essay was due *g* In fact, if you need any subjects for your study, I volunteer. Seriously.

I don't actually know any other governor

Not even your own? See, that's another reason to love der Ah-nuld. You can't forget him! (Although I think I still remember the guv we had before him - Gray Davis? Maybe? - but that's because there was all the press. Didn't know who he was before the recall thing got started.)

Merry Christmas, love!

[bookgodess15.livejournal.com]

Yay! My first test subject! I'm sure I can find other people to volunteer--how many do you think I'll have to acquire in order for it to become a veritable internet rule, like Rule #34?

Um... I think I might know our governor's name? But I could be wrong. Which is kind of embarrassing. But you're right--if I lived in California, then at least I'd know who my governor was!

Merry (belated) Christmas to you, too!

[abbysiuta.livejournal.com]

My Xmas gift to myself is rewatching all of WH13. I started today and this was PERFECT!

[shinealightonme]

That is an EXCELLENT Christmas present. I might have to get that for myself, too *g*

[abbysiuta.livejournal.com]

It has really made my past few days better. And I just finished implosion and I realize, even though I have watched them all at least 4 times before, after a little break, I am picking up on subtle stuff I didn't see or hear. LOVE it. :)

[shinealightonme]

I was delighted to discover, whilst skimming through episodes to make this vid, entire scenes that were excellent that I had totally forgotten about XD

[abbysiuta.livejournal.com]

Yeah waiting til summer for new eps may kill me. I'll just have to hope for amazing extras on the DVD set when it comes out... Hopefully before then. Rumor says March...

[digitalviolets.livejournal.com]

Wow. One week is a PERFECT Warehouse 13 song.
I loved this vid!

[shinealightonme]

Thanks! My thought process was mostly, "This song is goofy. Pete is goofy. Warehouse 13 is goofy. It's a match made in heaven!" So I'm quite glad you agree with me ^__^

[merrykk.livejournal.com]

*glee* I miss this show so much—thank you for reminding me of all the awesome goodness!

[shinealightonme]

Thanks, glad you liked it! And I miss WH13 too =( next summer can't get here fast enough.

[nicole9514.livejournal.com]

that rocked!

[shinealightonme]

Thanks! =D

[tehlime.livejournal.com]

I only dropped by because I love the song (I don't know the fandom), but I loved it! It was fun and energetic, and it came across really well without any knowledge of the source material. Great job!

[shinealightonme]

Thanks! I'm glad that you could enjoy it even without knowing the show ^__^

[minkhollow]

I DID NOT KNOW I NEEDED THIS UNTIL JUST NOW.

[shinealightonme]

Thanks, glad I could oblige!
