Don't have enough time to post a complete ramble about the WOWness of last nights Bones but I can say that the new little open-y promo bit that Fox always does with it's shows was...oy. That picture of them lying down with their heads on eachother arms. Phoof. So breathtaking my heart just about gave out. I am convinced that David and Emily are the most beautiful, wildly beautiful creatures ever imagined. The level of lovely they have been able to achieve, it's staggering.

If anyone has a big HQ still/cap of that shot...or multiple caps..like the whole thing and they could lead me in the direction of them, I would be the happiest clam on the planet. :-D

I was just rudely interrupted while trying to find a picture of that snippit. And by rudely I mean it slammed be in the face and I was completely ill-prepared.

*headdesk*

Firstly, 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID DUCHOVNY!!!!! :D 

I haven't got to celebrate yet because I had to take an early bus home from my Dads to see my sister. But I am going back out here soon and I have muy planned. :)

I went to The X-Files movie one last time on Tuesday. I wrote this while sitting in the theatre waiting for the movie to start. 

6:45pm. My last time to sit in this theatre, this seat and experience the wondrous beauty that is The X-Files movie. I am both excited and sad to see it again, this 4^th time. I am excited because it has been a week since I last saw it. A very long week…more like a year. And I am sad to see it again because it will be the last, at least until the DVD comes out. But mostly I am sad because my beautiful movie that I love so much still hasn’t won the hearts of millions like I thought it would. Like I know it deserved and deserves to. Oh X-Files movie, will anyone love you the way I do? Arrgh. When did seeing 2 of my most beauteous loves on the big screen become a thing of sadness and not jump out of my shoes happiness? Enough. We are going to relish this event for we might never have this experience again. Yes. I am happy. I love this movie and that is all that matters.

7:01. 14 minutes to bliss. I fear I may cry even more this time. They are having that effect on me again. Those subtle nuances and faint little expressions are having a very significant effect. The littlest things are bringing me to tears again. Gillian has this way of exuding angst and heartache that just breaks my heart. I am on my way to that level of crazy I had forgotten I am capable of. There is no hope for me.

7:11. Yay! Take me to the insanity and set me free in a crazy field of flowers. I don’t ever want to come back. That is where I want to be.

7:15. Bring it on.

There’s no holding back the years. There’s no holding back the tears.

No, I didn’t hold back the tears. I cried more this time than I did all the others combined. I think it was partly because it was leaving but more-so I think it was because I had been away for a while and came back with a clear head and got to just take everything in. And the tears flow down…down and down.   

So I was reading "The Rough Guide to Chick Flicks" today and found a Gillian mention. Thought I'd share. :)

Lit/Flick Crossover --- Edith Wharton
   Her first big seller, The House of Mirth (1905), a painful account of a scarlet woman's attempts to find security in polit society, was transferred to stage the next year and filmed - with a new, happy ending - in 1918. In 2000 Terence Davies directed a superb adaptation: starring the luminous Gillian Anderson as tragic social climber Lily Bart...it's a sombre yet exquisite film, all elegance and claustrophobia. Pgs 227 - 228.

I was happy that they gave it a good review because I for one LOVED this movie and Gillian in it but I've read some not so positive reviews about it and her. Anywho, thought I'd share something that made me smile. :)


All for now.

Forgot to take this off private...this post is from July 19th....

I am soo totally at Lelainia’s house right now. She is in the shower so I jumped on her computer to write a quick…or not quick post. Now I tried to do this yesterday…and I had the biggest post ever and then her computer froze and it all died. Well, we are using Word now…and we shall try again.

I got here on Thursday and we didn’t do too much that day because we were getting tired. We went to Barnes and Noble so I could get the Gillian Esquire UK:

  

…but alas it was still the July issue and they don’t get the August issue until July 27th so…yeah. That was slightly sad. And then they didn’t have Lisa’s Modern Dog either so then I was double sad. Anywho…we cam home and then we were getting tired so we got our PJs on and were brushing our teeth when this cute guy from across the way comes over and wants us to come hang out for a while. Lelainia sprung awake and that made me spring awake so we decided to go. We listened to some Bob Marley and Eekamouse (horrible sounded-out spelling) and had a pretty good time.

Yesterday we went to this awesome antique store called The Attic and I found a Heart vinyl… “Heart Greatest Hits/Live”…for only $3 and it’s in pretty good condition. Score. Well that store was awesome AND slightly mean because it had hoards of super duper way-too-cool Marilyn Monroe stuff…like a life size stand up from Seven Year Itch. Wow. I really need a job that gives me lots of money…and I need to go get everything they have. It’s wrong. They have these big paintings of Marilyn, Elvis, James Dean and this dude who’s name I can’t remember…maybe Humphrey Bogart or something…but there’s all these different ones and they are soo cool. I needed air after being in this store. It was that happy.

Then we asked if those dudes wanted to go play some pool and so we went to this bar called “The Oasis” and played awhile. Now, it was fun but something went on that I’m not quite ready to talk about out in Internet land. But just to give everyone a basic jist…I am the least experienced person on the planet…I’m 19 but I might as well be 12. I am in such a jumbled, twisted mess right now because I became that girl last night…that girl I’m not and never wanted to be…ever. So I am not in the best place right now…at all and I literally made myself sick thinking about this person I was and I am so ashamed of this behavior I was able to achieve. And all I can think about is my little sister and what she is going to think of me. We were out from like 6 something to a little after 10 and she kept calling Lelainia’s cell phone but we didn’t hear it and she left the saddest little message I’ve ever heard. She was so worried because I hadn’t called to say goodnight and she was staying up until 1am for me…to get a Burn Notice episode…and when I talked to her this morning she said she kept waking up last night and crying because she was so worried about me. So all of this combined into my day from hell…and my feeling like hell and arrgh…..I am moving on to other things I rambled about yesterday because they are fun and will make me feel better as opposed to worse.

X-Files movie in 6 days!!!! OMG!YAY!


I am so beyond comprehensionably excited. So much so I can’t spell anymore. Lol. I went to the theatre on Wednesday to make sure they were getting it the day it comes out because our theatre is way lame and we miss out on so many movies I can’t stand it and if we weren’t getting X-Files not only would my heart break but I might have to bust some asses. Haha. So I go and the girl says she’s pretty sure they’re getting it the day it comes out so she goes and checks and they are. I kind of run/skip to the car with glee and this dude who was sitting behind me when I was asking the girl looks at me like I’m a nut-job…which is fair because for X-Files I completely am. So even more YAY! than before because I know it’s coming and the crazy can ensue. WOOT!

I conned Laney and into going with me but then on Thursday Lelainia said she might like to go with me when I go to see it the second or third time. I am slightly fearing that my crazy might frighten her because…well, she has been there since the root of my nuttiness. We met in 7th grade and I was insane for Stevie in 8th and then so on and so forth down the line of crazy…SVU, Crossing Jordan, until I reached the beautiful X-Files level of crazy and was never the same. She knows…but she doesn’t know, you know? So this should be an experience.

I mean, that first time I see David and Gillian’s beautiful faces on that big screen…I am going to cry. Really. Not funny. And I feel I will squee like no one has ever squeed before. I pity the poor people who are in the theatre with me. They’re going to hear this crazy person sitting in the very front row. losing her mind. It ain’t gonna be pretty but it is going to ROCK.

Oh ramble. I apologize guys but I have so much to say…

The X-Files: I Want to Believe…I’m assuming in aliens but for me it’s more like “I want to believe” that Mulder and Scully are going to get it on and be together forever. LOL. I dream of this movie and the amazing it is going to achieve. And I, like every hopelessly, helplessly shippifying fan, am hoping, praying, desperately pleading with the heavens that we get those beautiful moments and a knock-it-out-of-the-park kiss that we absolutely deserve. Although Chris was cryptic as always (in the TV Guide article) he did give us hope. “[The movie is] honest to where they’d be six years after we last saw them.” By the looks of it that means apart at the beginning but they will be reconnecting (if you know what I mean *wink**wink*) by the end. But I am preparing myself for the possibility that the kiss I so desperately seek may end up like the first movie. As Rob Bowman put it (when quoting Chris Carter) we ‘got a kiss’ in “that frustrating X-Files fashion”. No Chris, we didn’t you butthead. The intention of a kiss + their mouths touching (when Mulder performs CPR) does not in fact nor will it ever = a kiss. It equals a rip off and a very sad shipper or more accurately, a mob of very sad shippers. If we get screwed again (...suddenly something tells me we won’t. I mean, it’s been years and taking into account how they left us. It would be cruel. And even though being a Mulder/Scully shipper has been a pain in the butt at times they’ve never been outwardly mean to us) but if we do…heads are gonna roll.

I am seriously in a ramble-tastic mood. Wow.

Random. But I was watching “The Unnatural” the other day...among lots of others…but that last scene is like axe murder on the shipper brain. For shiz. Not cool. Only, really...yes….we love it.

Well Lelainia is out of the shower but I meant to type this yesterday too so I shall try and type fast. Here is my “Hot Sci-Fi People” list I spoke of the other day.

COUNTDOWN

Twenty-six interstellar bodies of sci-fi who rock my world.

(I may have interpreted sci-fi a bit loosely to include shows like Charmed, Buffy/Angel which may fit better in the like, fantasy category but…oh well.)

(…and btw...not everyone gets a paragraph because some of these I really don’t watch enough to write something clever…)

Girls

1. Gillian Anderson, The X-Files
She has this sweet, kind of oblivious sexy, like she has no idea how endlessly alluring she is. Which ends up making her even sexier. Dangerous curves and flaming red hair make this G-woman a veritable force of buttoned-up hotness. The looks added on top of the intelligence gives new meaning to the phrase “smart is sexy”.

2. Carla Gugino, Threshold
Curve-loving suits and a penchant for flashing just about every government badge make this beauty a super sexy alternative to the in-thin 20something “divas” of today.

3. Jolene Blalock, Star Trek: Enterprise

4. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Buffy the Vampire Slayer

5. Billie Piper, Doctor Who

6. Christina Cox, Blood Ties
Sexy PI teams up with a sexy vampire to tussle and tangle with the vilest of beasties Canada has to offer. The premise of the show is even sexy. And its leading lady is even sexier. A rockin’ bod and kick ass fightin’ skills make this feisty former cop damn near too hot to handle.

7. Alyssa Milano, Charmed

8. Tricia Helfer, Battlestar Gallactica

9. Charisma Carpenter, Angel

10. Amy Acker, Angel

11. Lena Headey, Terminator

12. Jeri Ryan, Star Trek: Voyager

13. Eliza Dushku, Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Sometimes you need to have a little Faith. Especially if Faith is the no-holds-barred beauty saving your ass from a mess of vamps. A “take no crap” attitude and a far from adolescent wardrobe give this brunette bombshell an air of mystery. And when Faith turns on a dime and goes to the dark side...the sexy factor shoots even higher.


Guys

1. David Boreanaz, Angel
The vampire with the face of an angel. Truer words have never left anyone’s lips. It’s the mixture of the danger and the sweetness that is impossible to resist. He can save your life or take it just as easily. And when Angel becomes Angelus…forget it. Terrifying sexy are the only words that spring to mind and they couldn’t touch it if they tried.

2. David Duchovny, The X-Files
Piercing eyes and razor wit make Fox Mulder the sexiest FBI agent…well, ever. Hot enough on his own but when teamed up with his beautiful partner; prepare for a wildfire.

3. Joe Flanigan, Stargate: Atlantis

4. John Schneider, Smallville
We only saw him shirtless once (Hello, Red) but superman’s dearly departed Dad is a hunk in every sense of the word. Those muscles, that smile, and one beautiful shirt-lacking scene…I’m not the only one who swoons at the drop of a dime.

5. Jamie Bamber, Battlestar Gallactica

6. Jensen Ackles, Supernatural

7. Jared Padalecki, Supernatural

8. Brian Van Holt, Threshold

9. Dylan Neal, Blood Ties

10. James Marsters, Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Evil vampire gets a chip in his brain and can’t help but play nice. Hilarity and smoldering hotness ensues. The white-blonde hair and the countless shots of him wearing…erm…well, nothing…make this girl want to take a walk on the wild side. And the bite marks would be worth every minute of it.

11. Paul Blackthorne, The Dresden Files

12. Kyle Schmid, Blood Ties

13. Tom Welling, Smallville
