Best On-screen Kiss

Like many bloggers I’m slowly developing an unhealthy obsession with Edward from Twilight. I’m at the part in the book where he and Bella first kiss. Sweet mother of hotness. Moving right along…

I was inspired yesterday by another blogger to find out what people rank as the best on-screen kiss. Naturally I’ve turned this into a community guide.



I beg of you to leave your answer on the community guide at Guidespot. Rather than just telling me what movie or TV couple, you can share a picture or even a video from YouTube! Guidespot is an interactive site and we welcome, appreciate and encourage the participation of readers.

Check out my picks here.



Happy birthday to me!

No, it’s not really my birthday, but I just did a bit of birthday shopping. The man friend gave me a gift certificate so I could knock down my wish list on Amazon. Want to see what I got? Sure you do!

Tell me, what’s on your wish list?



I want to play, too!

- Pick 10 of your favorite movies. (Done.)
\
- Go to IMDB or Wikiquote and find a quote from each movie. (Done.)
\

\

\
- GUESSERS: Don’t cheat! please :) \
- One guess per person please, don’t want to steal the spotlight from everyone.
\
- Put your guesses in the comments section so everyone can see.

2. “They used to be fat and juicy and now they’re twisted. They had their lives stolen. Well, they taste sweet, but really they’re just humiliated grapes. I can’t say I am a big supporter of the raisin council.” Benny & Joon Tia and Big Time Fancy (It was a tie!)
\

\
3. “No, it’s Morgan Freeman. Do you have any bones that need collecting? Juno PB & Razz.
\

\
4. “Me? I’m scared of everything. I’m scared of what I saw, I’m scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I’m scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I’m with you. “ Dirty Dancing Back to Good. I was so sad when I found out about Patrick’s cancer :(
\

\

\

\
8. “To feel. ‘Cause you’ve never done it, you can never know it. But it’s as vital as breath. And without it, without love, without anger, without sorrow, breath is just a clock… ticking.”
\

\
9. “Our love fern! You let it die! “ How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days Angelaboration. This is my favorite line out of the whole movie. Her face is classic!

\
10. “From the moment we enter this live we are in the flow of it. We measure it and We mock it, but we cannot defy it. We cannot even speed it up or slow it down. Or can we? Have we not each experienced the sensation that a beautiful moment seemed to pass to quickly, and wished that we could make it linger? Or felt time slow on a dull day, and wished that we could speed things up a bit?



Geek News, Take Three.

- Ever Google yourself? I love that “google’ is a verb now-a-days. I googled myself today after the boss googled an applicant. I got nervous and wondered what about me is out there floating around on the web. I found a poem I wrote when I was 13, my facebook account, my Evite response to the Chicago blogger meet-up and some NaBloPoMo forum crap. Nothing too bad! I also found another woman with my same name. Down to the middle name even. She seems to run a lot. Go her!

\
- Try to sign onto Windows Live this morning? So did I. It took about an hour to get logged on and that was after uninstalling and reinstalling the program. Seems that Windows Live has been down for about 11 hours now but the service status on their website thinks everything is peachy. Anyone know me on WL? If so, am I still logged on?

\
- Matt Damon, be still my heart. Damon will play Jason Bourne one more time in the fourth installment of the Bourne series. After Identity, Supremacy and Ultimatium…what more can be done?

- If anybody would like to send me to the BlogHer ‘08 conference in San Francisco. I’d be very grateful. The ever lovely Jamie and I are trying to get volunteer gigs at the conference so we can go. Assuming the BlogHer Gods are against us, she’s already found some great deals on a flight & hotel. The only downside to the Gods being against us: Early Bird prices END February 28th. That’s two days away for those of you who didn’t know. TWO days to find out if we go for free, $283 or $383. No pressure!!! Luckily for her, she’s still a student and will most likely get a substantial discount. Another drawback to NOT being in school. Stay in school kids!!!

\
- It’s about 79 degrees in my office today. Summer is here! It’s weird sweating inside and seeing five inches of snow outside my window.

\
If this isn’t really your cup of tea check out 25 of the scariest horror movies.



I carried a watermelon!

\

\
I forgot how much I love “Dirty Dancing.” I’m not sure what it is about that movie that just makes me swoon when I watch it. I get the biggest smile when Johnny says “nobody puts Baby in the corner.” Ugh! Love it! Seriously, one of my favorite movies of all time.When I was younger I loved it because of the shoes. All the sparkles, the shininess. Beautiful shoes and dresses! Now I have no idea. I still get giddy over the shoes even though I’d never wear them. I appreciate the dancing much more these days. Holy crap that stuff looks difficult. I wish I could dance like that.
\

\
Most of all, I wish I knew Johnny so he could teach me how to dance and then we could make out to ridiculous music and run away together. Le sigh….
\

\
One can dream!
\

\
For the record, I sing throughout the ENTIRE movie. I even dance a little. Watch out!



Juno Rumor

I’ll try to make this the last post for the day!
\

\
I can’t believe it, but they couldn’t put it on the Internet if it wasn’t true right?
\

\
Juno is in the works to be released as a game for the Wii. What? I know!
\

\
Details are few and far between, but I’m curious as to what the point of the game will be? Some movies should not be made into games. This is one of them. It’s a fantastic movie with an amazing soundtrack that in 20 years will be remade and inevitably ruined.



Thoughts?

Justin Timberlake’s Super Bowl commercial: Yay or Nay?

\
A Cloverfield sequel? Already? Is it even out of theaters yet? Would people actually pay to experience motion sickness again? Doubtful. Though I think I already know the answer to this one, I’ll ask anyway…

Cloverfield sequal: Yay or Nay?



Chin Pubes


\
I’m sure my mom will be very proud of me for this post because I titled it Chin Pubes. Hi mom!!
\

\
If the media is going to have a Britney news extravaganza every week and post pictures of her and her creepy paparazzi boyfriend, could he please shave that landing strip of pubes off of his chin?
\

\
Why leave it? Why go through all of the work of shaving and leaving a perfectly straight line (o’ pubes)? Adnan, the lower half of your face looks like a va-jay-jay. Shave it.
\

\
I have officially caught up with Lost last evening. So I haven’t finished the second or even started the third season, so what? I tuned in last night for the TWO hour finale with extra info. The text scrolling at the bottom of the screen was very helpful. I didn’t realize how utterly annoying the finale was though. Ben, is that his name? The guy with the crazy psycho eyes who leads the other. He bothers the crap out of me. And um, Charlie? Really? I’ll be watching the premier of season four this evening, but I’m not sure if I’ll make it through the whole thing. I already have so many questions.
\

\
Lost gives me anxiety and apparently, headaches. Last night while watching it I got a migraine. Not cool. I sure hope Jack had nothing to do with that. He’s a hunky piece of man meat :) Anyway, just wanted to share that.
\

\
I also watched Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. So cute. The last half is pretty, eh….craptastic. But the chipmunks are freaking adorable haha. I want a chipmunk. Please?



Damn You Michael Bay!

Dear Michael Bay,
\

\
Do you feel that it is absolutely necessary to remake the Nightmare on Elm Street collection? I suppose you’re going to tell me this is all New Line’s idea and you’re simply going along with it.
\

\
I’m not a huge fan of recreating movies. One, it shows Hollywood’s complete lack of originality and movie-making talent. Two, you really do a shitty job. Need I mention the Texas Chainsaw Massacre? You didn’t stop there, no. You went on to create remakes of The Amityville Horror, another Chainsaw Massacre movie, Friday the 13th and Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds. Are you kidding me? Why The Birds? Does it really need to be remade? Hitchcock is perfect the way it is.
\

\
These remakes are not necessary. I’m afraid I’m not a very big fan of you right now. I’d tell you not to eff it up, but I’m sure you will. I hope Freddy gets you in your sleep.
\

\
Sincerely,
\

\
A disgruntled 1980’s horror movie fan.
