FINALLY watched A Very Potter Musical.
Loved, loved, loved it. It had be cracking up at the most inopportune moments, but also had it's serious HP moments, which is fantastic for a bunch of twenty-somethings to achieve in a parody show.
Ron cracked me up. He was so ridiculous!
I have to say, though, that Malfoy took the cake as far as character-parodies go. The girl who played him (THAT in itself was hilarious!) did an awesome job and I want to hug her if I ever meet her.
^^THIS is what I think of Voldemort. ^^
I have never had a crush (or even liked) the character, but in parody form he is so funny and damn adorable (in a really weird, psychotic killer sort of way). ((Not to mention his torso is GODLY))
SO if you have not watched AVPM, GO WATCH IT! It's completely fan-made and so great.
GO NOW
I had both Saturday and Sunday off, so I ended up spending my free time watching a couple of movies.
Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog has been on my Netflix instant watch queue for a long time but, for some reason unknown to me, I've been putting off watching it. Until now....
And now it's plain to see that I am OBSESSED. Totally and completely OBSESSED.
I want to marry Dr. Horrible. Neil Patrick Harris is SO AMAZING.
And c'mon, who better to love to hate than Captain Hammer (Corporate Tool)? Nathan Fillion, for once, is someone I love to hate (Usually I just love to love his characters....)
So now I have two new soundtracks in my iTunes and they are on repeat. Dr Horrible, meet Harry Potter. Voldemort, meet Captain Hammer.
So my Saturday was spent obsessing over Dr. Horrible, and then Sunday came along. I went over to my friends' apartment and we all had pizza (it was yummy!) and watched a movie called Perfume: The Story of a Murderer"
It was fantastic. It's sort of got a Tim Burton-esque Sweeney Todd feel about it. It's pretty off-beat and could be considered distrurbing, but I highly enjoyed it and that is probably for those reasons. Ben Whishaw is the main character, Grenouille (FROG!), and while Whishaw is a pretty attractive guy, he did a great job at being a total creeper.
The story is about Grenouille and how he was born with a supersonic sense of smell, and as he got older, he realized he wanted to find a way to preserve smell...particular the smell of beautiful women. He has strange experiments, and I'll tell you, you'll never think of perfume the same way again. I highly recommend it if you're not easily queasy or disturbed. And if you don't mind a little nudity and a very..........unique ending to a movie.
I know how you feel, Ron...Only not about Hermione. (That bitch.)
