Random items I feel like sharing with the world before dropping off into a nap:
1)
Sam: I wonder if we’ll ever be put into songs or tales.
Frodo: What?
Sam: I wonder if people will ever say, “Let’s hear about Frodo and the Ring,” and they’ll say, “Yes, that’s one of my favorite stories. Frodo was really courageous, wasn’t he, dad?” “Yes, my boy, the most famousest of hobbits. And that’s saying a lot.”
Frodo: You left out one of the chief characters! Samwise the Brave. I want to hear more about Sam. Frodo wouldn’t have got far without Sam.
Sam: Now Mr. Frodo, you shouldn’t make fun. I was being serious.
Frodo: So was I.
Sam: …Samwise the Brave.
This excerpt basically never fails to make me all warm and fuzzy inside.
THE LORD OF THE RINGS, MY FIRST GREAT FANDOM LOVE. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.
2) I don't pimp musicals on a regular basis, obvs., but in terms of music I've been listening to a lot recently,
Next to Normal ranks up there.
This is the performance the cast gave at the Tonys this year.
3)
This guy! I watched
Transporter 3 for Robert Knepper, okay, that is dedication (basically everyone on
Prison Break holds a v. v. special place in my heart :[ ) (also, no one is allowed to pull the
Statham clause here because I, in fact, as much as I enjoy how fucking balls
Crank/
Crank 2 were, I will not watch everything with Jason Statham in it solely because it has Jason Statham, tyvm). If I need to prove my point here, he is the only reason I would ever contemplate watching
Heroes ever, even though I've heard how much of a train wreck it is now. (
Weird faux-baptism of laQueento? Eyeliner? Costumes that look like they came out of a Tim Burton movie?
Would I watch Heroes? MORAL DILEMMA. Apparently I would, hellllllo hulu.) Anyway, he is fantastic and everyone should watch
Prison Break because it is A++++++++ and come on, everything y'all watch is on hiatus now, you've got the time.
4) I most definitely did not recognize Jared Harris (LANE PRYYYYYYYYCE)
as the captain in
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. My love for him has just increased a billionfold. The captain was
awesome.
5)
Drunk history.
