uh, still about stealth

A Thing:

We have a very large port here. The actual port itself is about a twenty minute drive from my house, and our metro area is so structured that it's this huge, sprawling monster of a town, so when we say "the sailors are in town," what we mean is that the ships are in and you can find sailors in any suburb along the train line.

Just discovered that when the US sailors are in town, they won't let attractive, unaccompanied women pay for their drinks. A girl can order a drink, but when she goes to pay, a sailor (if nearby) will just tell the bartender not to accept the girl's money.

*makes notes*

HULLO STEALTH OMG. I need to be less obsessed. AALEKJDKASDF.

I hate sailors so much. SO MUCH. My hatred knows no bounds.

Five years of university in Freo will do that to a girl.

I have a friend who used to work in a late night newsagency in Northbridge. She used to bitch like mad about them. The sailors, I mean.

I am totally not meant to be online but what the hell, it's Sunday afternoon and I am taking a brain break from my neuroscience assignment.

I RENTED THAT. LAST NIGHT. I WENT AND GOT A VIDEO EZY MEMBERSHIP FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF RENTING IT. DAMN YOUR PERSUASIVE FIC.

So much fun homg. I love movies where lots of shit gets blown up. And there is something so bloody hilarious about sulky AI that blasts Incubus songs at you instead of obeying a direct order and snarks your own flyboy words back at you when you try and discipline it.

Also: pilots in love. Clearly. I would go and watch five progressively more godawful sequels if I was assured that Kara and Ben would keep flying and blowing shit up and making IF ONLY OUR LOVE WASN'T DOOMED BY THE NAVY eyes at each other.

OMG THANKS FOR LEAVING FEEDBACK ON MY FIC, (and_)LOGAN. IF IT WERE SO PERSUASIVE AND ALL.


But isn't this movie awesome? It's SO AWESOME.

APOLOGIES, O PEN. I WAS TECHNICALLY NOT ONLINE. I WAS NINJA-ING. BUT I SHALL DO SO NOW.

Oh yes. Ohhhh yes. Hopefully because of its paradoxical awesome/hilariously terrible nature, it shall swiftly be relegated to the $15 bins at JB Hifi and then I will be able to justify buying it.

I don't understand how a movie this bad can be so awesome! AND YET IT IS.

[meyerlemon.livejournal.com]

I don't actually think it's that bad.

BUT I LIKE ACTION MOVIES. So.

Sigh.

I think that sometimes Ben plays Patsy Cline and feels sorry for himself. But you're AUSTRALIAN. You may not know about Patsy Cline.

Oh, me too! I personally really liked the action parts and the fact that the dialogue DIDN'T SUCK, but the bad science. Oh, the bad science. That one shot of the double helix snapping down the middle pushed it over from 'quite good' into 'OMGWHAT'.

But I enjoyed it thoroughly and would watch it again and again and again, so I won't nitpick the dreadful things that happen when the entertainment industry tries to be scientific (I'M LOOKING AT YOU, RON D. MOORE. YOU AND YOUR CANCER-CURING 'ANTIBODY FREE BLOOD' WITH ITS MOLECULAR DIAGRAMS THAT LOOK LIKE SJDGDSGSADAH ANYWAY). I often wish I could go to LA and pimp myself out to writers of shows so that I could beat them around the head with the glaring scientific errors in their scripts.

Sailors. *flail*

I am disturbingly obsessed with Ben/Kara HOTANGSTYPILOTLOVE.

[meyerlemon.livejournal.com]

ME TOO.

Why is there not a STEALTH 2? Which is about... Kara and Ben being angsty?

Sigh.

[morwen_peredhil]

Hey, they've made sequels to far worse movies. *hopes*

[cupiscent.livejournal.com]

They're like that. We had 'em in Gladstone when I was in senior, and goodGOD the town went insane.

It's nice. For empowered Australian women. *G*

[juleskicks.livejournal.com]

NICE. \o/

[girl-wonder.livejournal.com]

hee. I'm jealous of your town.
