Just back from the delicious combination of the cinema and KFC and my thoughts on X-Men Origins: Wolverine (which I keep typing as Wolverine: Origins) are as follows:

Good lord, Ryan Reynolds is a hot ass. I want a Deadpool movie now, please. It would be so pretty. And funny. And there would be swords. What more could you want from a movie?? EDIT: Evidently, the powers that be in the movie world agree with me. Ryan Reynolds to headline 'Wolverine' spin-off 'Deadpool'. Thanks, verycleanindeed!

( Some spoilery thoughts which are possibly unrelated to the hotness of Ryan Reynolds )

To conclude: It was completely ridiculous but I really enjoyed it.

Just finished watching Buying the Cow, which I recently purchased as part of my (possibly unhealthy) obsession with Ryan Reynolds, and... dear lord.

It's a cute enough film. Nothing particularly interesting, a bit contrived, but quite funny. It's basically about a group of friends trying to figure out who they are and what love really is, but from a male point of view.

Which apparently means that Ryan Reynolds, in his search for himself, should get naked a lot. In a variety of sexy and vaguely appalling ways.

( You know there have to be pictures )
Man, I really need to redo my icons to include more of the Reynolds goodness.

Wow. Smokin' Aces is really very shite. They seem to have gone with the idea that if they got a million and one recognisable people and shoehorned them into a movie with a convoluted plot and lots of guns, it would be awesome. It wasn't. It was boring. ( Cut for possible spoilers )

Foolproof, on the other hand, was completely enjoyable. ( Another cut for more possible spoilers )

I couldn't find The In-Laws, Finder's Fee or School of Life and I'm not sure if I want to try Harold and Kumar right now. Ah, the fun of obsessively watching everything an actor's been in.

It's official - the weather has gone mental. According to the tabloid newspaper front pages that I saw during my brief foray into the wilderness that is outside, today is the wettest day for 50 years. Which I can believe. It's not that the rain is really, really heavy, it's just that there's so a lot of it. Of course, being in good old Blighty, everything's flooded. The footpaths, the roads, steps, fields. Getting to the shop (which is a four minute walk away) was like an obstacle course. Jump, step, jump, edge, hold umbrella tighter, jump, jump, walk.

To top it all off, the University sent around this wonderful e-mail a few hours ago: The University's drainage is system is unable to cope with the continuing amount of heavy rainfall. Surface and Ground Water runoff is at a level where it has started to enter the foul sewerage system, placing an additional disposal load on the Sewage Pumping Station. Sewage levels are at their maximum.

Ew, ew, ew. They're requesting that we not do any of the following: wash the dishes, wash clothes, shower or use the toilet. *looks around* Yeah, that's not going to happen, University. First of all, I've already had a shower today, and second of all, when I need to pee, I need to pee. And then I need to wash my hands. So shove it. Not my problem if the place floods with sewage. I live on the first floor :p

In less disgusting news, I've become a bit obsessed with Ryan Reynolds.
