One of the longest post titles in the history of bogging I'd say.
So I love movies. Not necessarily the ones pictured above. And I have my favorite actors and actresses as I suppose many movie-loving people do. Some of my male favs are Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, Heath Ledger, Christian Bale, and Will Smith...just throwing that out there. The name dropping is not really of any significance.
Well, me being the slightly psychotic, and slightly OCD person that I am, am very in to... collections... I guess you could say. For example. I don't know if you've noticed this before, but companies are constantly reinventing their packaging techniques for TV series, and it drives me absolutely INSANE because I'll buy a season of a show and it's in some big fatty case, and then they'll figure out how to repackage the next season in a smaller case, so then when I have the seasons sitting nicely on a shelf next to each other, the cases don't match!!! Aaaah! Books. If I have a series of books they ALL have to be either paperback, or hardback, they can't be a mixture of the two within the same series. CDs. I hate how they're starting to package CDs in thin cardboard cases meant to look like an LP sleeve, when the CD collection I started 15 years ago began with plastic jewel cases. I want them all in jewel cases!! If they'd started in the cardboard cases, then I'd be fine with it, so long as all future CD releases came in the same cases! Sorry. This was a bit of a tangent.
What I was getting at is that I have this goal in my head, (one that will probably never go away until it's accomplished, since it involves a collection of sorts) that for each of my favorite actors, I'm going to purchase and view every movie from their film career. I know it's a weird goal, but I'm a weird person, and I mean that in the best way possible towards myself :) Thanks to the handy tool of imdb.com I've been able to copy and paste the work history for my favorite actors into a list (because I make lists for everything otherwise my brain would explode) and can simply cross off a movie I get and then watch the list slowly dwindle.
Not too long ago I was updating said lists, though I only got through Johnny Depp and Leonardo Dicaprio. And I had 10 Leonardo Dicaprio movies and 10 Johnny Depp movies. Then I thought hmmm, I should go to Walmart and look at their 5 dollar movie rack, cuz I generally don't buy movies for more than 5 bucks, and whichever movie I see first with either Johnny Depp or Leonardo Dicaprio, I'll buy. Just so I can have a tie breaker. What movie did I find? "What's Eating Gilbert Grape." One problem. It has both Johnny Depp AND Leonardo Dicaprio. Did the unbroken tie keep me from purchasing it? Of course not. But I guess what I'm getting at, and the point of this pointless post is that my Johnny/Leo tie still stands. Time for another movie? Probably not since I'm supposed to be saving my money.
Told you this was meaningless :)
Other random thought. I was listening to that song Apologize by Timbaland feat OneRepublic today, although I think credit should ACTUALLY be given to OneRepublic with a "feat" Timbaland, since OneRepublic are the ones...I dunno, playing the instruments and singing the song. But somehow Timbaland gets away with taking credit for other artists' songs after doing a simple remix, which probably isn't really that simple but still shouldn't afford Timbaland the majority of the credit. Anyway. I was listening to that song today which is all about how the woman in the story did something horrible and now he's giving up on her and it's too late to "apologize." Yada yada yada. There are some lyrics however that state, "I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue." That line has ALWAYS bothered me and I decided to vent about it today. Here. On my blog. Because if this guy is talking about how much he loved this girl but now he can never forgive her you would think that means his love is diminishing, which I think is the point they tried to make with the "fire" lyric...BUT...the hottest part of the fire is the blue part, not the red part, so they got it backwards. It SHOULD be "I loved you with a fire blue, now it's turning red," which would symbolize his fading love for this supposed heartless woman. Unless I'm misinterpreting the entire meaning of the song....but with blatant lyrics like "It's too late to apologize..." I don't think I am.
