Where do we go from heeeeere?

[51stcenturyfox]

I just listened to the Once More With Feeling - the Buffy musical ep soundtrack - again and was reminded of how beautifully Anthony Stewart Head sings. 

Should I get Repo! The Genetic Opera?

Also, our friend the wine expert is coming over and is bringing wine. Good!  I am kind of ashamed to admit I'm drinking Franzia Chillable Red out of the box (well, I do put it in a glass, you know. I'm not actually drinking it OUT OF THE BOX).   

(The last time we went to wine expert's house, we had some outstanding aged Riesling and dessert wine in little chocolate cups after dinner. FANCY.)

Download Repo and watch it without paying for it. With a box of wine.

And imagine ASH's daughter is actually Arthur.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, I'm cheap in some directions. As if you couldn't tell from the cheapster wine. AHAHAHA.

But I could get it on Netflix! I never pick those, they're all Mr Foxy's weird-ass titles in the queue. :D

*ASH's daughter is Arthur. OK. Remembers*

I really really wish I could have seen Anthony Stewart Head in Rocky Horror. That would have been brilliant.

Mmm... wine.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

OMG ME TOO. His legs. Why is he so hot? WHY?

This is decent wine in the hot summer here. I don't like most white wines, and it's at least cold! :D

[witchway.livejournal.com]

HE IS HOT because he is MADE OF AWESOME and also, could I use THAT particular icon to illustrate my Xander/Giles pairing???? *batts eyes*

[svollga.livejournal.com]

You should totally listen and/or watch Repo. Head is BRILLIANT in it, doing all the shades of character and showing how wide is his range both as an actor and a singer. (The plot is super silly, though.)

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

YAYS! I'm glad to hear that. I really, really adore him anyway. Giles is my fave Buffy character.

Silly plots are not a problem. I don't mind silly~!

[svollga.livejournal.com]

Great! There's a lot of Giles-y stuff going on in Repo :)

Silly is the sort of 'OMG what grown-up supposedly clever person would do THAT' silly, which makes me personally facepalm, but I try to relax and enjoy the music and acting and sexy people.

Love your icon, btw :)

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

Repo is a fun watch (i, personally, wouldn't pay for it) and i really hope they get King Giles to sing on merlin - He's The Loneliest King in the Neighborhood!

i never know what to say to wine ppl b/c i... do not like wine

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Netflix, yeah? :)

I ought to get into Merlin. Bradley James.

O God. I have a "type".

Do you like beer? Pimm's?

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

am not a beer drinker, but i like pimms! i like other alcohols, but i sort of have a bad reaction to wine where i get super HOT in the face and can't breathe, so i don't drink it

bradley james... yes :) just don't watch merlin on siffy b/c they cut all the merlin/arthur stuff out

netflix, i think that's how we watched Repo

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Syfy cuts the slashy bits or something? WAT?

Wine... that's strange. Maybe you have an allergy to the tannins in the grapes.

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

except i'm not allergic to grapes at all, and i had no probs with champagne at the sister's wedding (really REALLY no prob... other than drinking a lot of it) - we've stopped trying to explain it

yeah, siffy cuts for commercials and they took out all the good character interaction scenes

[mellacita.livejournal.com]

I ought to get into Merlin

Yes. Yes, you should. DO EET DO EET!!!

[shane-mayhem.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm drinking California-made Sangria out of a jug, so...I can't say anything.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Sangria is GOOD, though! Fruit in there!

Om nom nom.

Have I shared my drunky punch recipe with you? A pitcher of iced tea (3 quarts), 2 cups cranberry juice cocktail, 2 cups of vodka, 3/4 cup sugar.

And it tastes tasteh. :D And is highly alcoholic. :D

[shane-mayhem.livejournal.com]

FUCK YEAH.

As soon as I can afford vodka, I'm making this. The biggest bummer about food stamps is that they won't cover my alcohol. :( So I can get fat, but I can't get wasted. WHICH ONE IS MORE DEADLY IN THE LONG RUN??

....oh wait.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Long run?

Hmm. Dilemma!

I'm not skinny, so I'm biased. I wonder if I'm storing any liquor in my extra body fat like you do THC.

I COULD DO WITH A RUNNER'S HIGH.

But that would mean I'd have to run. I separated from running. :D

[shane-mayhem.livejournal.com]

I totally separated from running. Fuck that shit. LOL.

I would love it if I could store extra alcohol in my body fat, but it doesn't feel like that's happening. It's kind of a let down after two solid days of eating opium and drinking Sangria. ;)

[jo02]

Lol, I've had days where drinking out of the box was the only way to go -
I'm not sure if they were the good ol' days or the bad ol' days :)

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Or the thirsty days!

Wine expert has brought me a bottle and I'm full of food, too. *full* :)

[pintsizeninja.livejournal.com]

Since it's on Netflix, you should definitely get it. I was really, really into Repo before/right as it came out, but it is pretty silly. There were quite a few people laughing in the theater (I traveled up to NYC to see it in the theater, FML) so... don't take it too seriously. :)

However, ASH is AMAZING in it. Oh god. "Thankless Job" is just brilliant, and I used to listen to "Legal Assassin" on repeat forever because it's pretty much everything I ever wanted to hear: ASH's voice, lots of distortion, and heavy bass.

If you do end up watching it, let me know what you think!

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

He's got a fantastic voice, really rich.

Oooh, I'll definitely review~!

[mellacita.livejournal.com]

Aged Reisling in chocolate cups? Where has this been my whole life???

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

It was really nice. Actually, I think he threw the dessert wine in there, but at that point I had... had a lot of wine!

Chomping the cup was the (second) best part!

[dremiel.livejournal.com]

Damn, now I want little juice box-sized wine box so I can drink straight from the box!

Wandering off to see if we still have some porter in the fridge.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

I see an entrepreneurial opening!

Doctor Who fezzes.
Mini box-wines.

This are the ingredients for becoming a DRAGON*CON BILLIONAIRE!

(um, NSFW version!)

Well, TASHA says that

[witchway.livejournal.com]

Repo was both sucky and also strangly addicting.

http://www.avclub.com/articles/i-watched-this-on-purpose-repo-the-genetic-opera,24886/

The day I read that article I listened to the clips many many times, so I can attest to the addictive part, but even as you listen you can really REALLY tell how the songs could have been so much better.

Re: Well, TASHA says that

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Aww, shame. I'll still get it on Netflix, though. Which is almost free! :D

Anything with ASH can't be that bad, right?

Re: Well, TASHA says that

[witchway.livejournal.com]

ANYTHING with Anthony must be good.

TELL US what you think!

(also, your icon is TEH TRUE.)
