Random Rant 1

I’ve decided to now start doing posts titled random rant from now on, for random rants believe it or not, haha. Basically when I’m not writing a review, top 10 list or something like that, movie posters or some latest news. Just a post with mentions of movies or actors, depending on what I have on my mind and if I am really clever quotes too haha.

So this is the very first official random rant and I have no idea which direction it is going to go in . . . I am trying to decide which movie to watch on Netflix watch instantly but ended up on this rant instead. I am currently leaning towards starting to watch “Sweet Charity (1969)” because its a musical and they usually make me smile and happy. Not that i’m sad just annoyed with the whole football results, but I wont get into that here.

I currently have iTunes on shuffle, and its actually quite amazing that so many songs on my iTunes remind me of certain movies with the songs featuring in them. For example “rescue me” which is on right now reminds me of “Sister Act” when Whoopi Goldberg is cleaning the car and doing all those chores. I love Sister Act it is just brilliant and one of my favorites from childhood. Its funny how that is one of the movies I could watch a million times and not get bored of it. (An idea for a list there I think!!!)

I keep wondering if anyone actually reads my blog, like all the time looking for updates and stuff. As this week has been the best EVER week since starting my blog for fews. Hopefully on track to be the best month as well, after I slipped up with updates through most of March. But back bigger and stronger now.  I just hope I actually do have people who read it all the time, as I think that would be rather on the cool side. (Feedback would be great . . . )

I have so many movies on my to watch list and really hope that I will get a lot of them watched over the next few months. As most of the movies on that list are old. Thank god for Netflix. I should get my next dvd on tues/wed I reckon. If they get “Juno” back tomorrow. I really did enjoy Juno, as I was rather worried after all the great reviews that I would be let down and disappointed. But I certainly was not, it was so clever and funny. I would definatly buy that to watch over and over.

I suppose a plus side of not having all my DVDs is that I am making myself watch movies that I have not actually seen before instead of the same old favorites. But again when I fancy just watching something I have seen already and love/like I can use Netflix for that too. Take Dirty Dancing 🙂

I think this rant should end pretty soon as I am running out of things to say and should actually watch a movie instead of just ranting and ranting.

Aniston Sets Sights On Butler

Good choice Jennifer. Gerard is a lovely looking man (much better than John Mayer in my opinion).

Jennifer Aniston is getting over her split from John Mayer – by reportedly romancing Gerard Butler.

The former Friends star broke up with Mayer last month after a tumultuous on/off relationship.

The actress approached Butler to star alongside her in forthcoming movie The Goree Girls – and their working partnership could become something more after the pair enjoyed a short-lived romance last year, according to Britain’s Mail on Sunday newspaper.

A source tells the publication, “They had a fling at the Toronto Film Festival last year but it was all kept very quiet. Now Jennifer’s single again, she’s no longer keeping her admiration for him secret.”

Film Fans In A Spin Over Jackman

I for one would certainly recognise Mr Jackman !!!

Hollywood star Hugh Jackman is rarely recognised by fans – and often has to convince people he really is a famous actor.

The Australian shot to fame in 2000 comic book movie X-Men, and has gone on to film three of the superhero sequels. He also hosted this year’s Academy Awards ceremony.

But Jackman insists he still doesn’t receive the same kind of adoration as other stars – as members of the public never know who he is.

He says, “I’ve been stood in the street with people arguing with me over whether I am that guy from X-Men. I’ve had to show people my (driving) licence to prove who I am.”

And Jackman admits he even gets mistaken for British actor Rupert Everett and action man Vin Diesel.

He adds, “I was in Moscow recently promoting a movie and this woman came in delivering my breakfast, and she said, ‘Hello, I just wanted to say you are my favourite actor. For me, My Best Friend’s Wedding was just incredible,’ and I said, ‘Yeah it’s a great movie but I’m not in it.’ And she said, ‘No, you are in it. I’ve seen it 100 times.’ She went on and on, and finally I convinced her that I was in X-Men but she then thought I was in XXX, which was Vin Diesel.”

Rourke Upset Over Dead Dog Joke

Awww poor Mickey. Thats really not funny someone making jokes about his dog dying.

Trash-talking The Wrestler star Mickey Rourke has threatened to serve up a beat down on U.S. TV pundit Joel McHale – after the E! News presenter poked fun at the actor’s dead dog.

The movie star is still mourning the loss of his beloved chihuahua Loki, who died just before the Oscars in February, and he didn’t take kindly to McHale’s recent comments about the pooch.

On his show, The Soup, the funnyman said, “Many say it was a pretty gay friendly Oscars (and) we think it could have been even gay friendlier, here’s how… a tribute to Mickey Rourke‘s chihuahua.”

But, at the premiere of his new film The Informers in Hollywood on Thursday, Rourke sent out a warning to McHale: “Who’s the guy who made fun of my dog…? Motherf**cker! Who’s that guy, Joel McHale? He’s gonna get a slap in the face… That ain’t right. If you see him, tell him he’s gonna get a slap in the face.”‘

News: Dyer Scared Of Soap Opera Role

I think Danny would have fit well in Eastenders. He already has the cockney accent haha.

Danny Dyer turned down a starring role in a British soap opera – because he was terrified of the huge amount of publicity the show receives.

The movie tough-guy was approached to appear in hit U.K. show EastEnders, which chronicles life in London.

But Dyer rejected the role, which was devised with him in mind – because the series’ stars regularly make headline news in Britain.

He says, “I met John Yorke, controller of drama production. He asked if I would be willing to go in and shake up a few of the characters.

“He said they would write a synopsis and then take me out to dinner and anything I wanted to change, I could change, which gives me a bit of power.

“I quite like the idea of it. But actually, in reality, I just got cold feet. Just from having a meeting it’s all over the newspapers and it gave me the horrors. Imagine if I went in it.

“With the EastEnders thing the whole publicity gets out of hand. It’s like a whole new beast. It’s not something I fancy. I don’t want to write if off totally but at this point in my career I think it would be madness.”
