Sheesh, I go to work and miss all the excitement. But congrats, Aleks! You're officially the Best Co-Author Ever. You can be my wingman, any time.
How many colors do you see?
Abstract Painting

Abstract Painting contains three distinct shades of black, which become visible only after prolonged looking. Reinhardt was intensely sensitive to such subtle variations. He explained, “There is a black which is old and a black which is fresh. Lustrous black and dull black, black in sunlight and black in shadow.” When Reinhardt’s black paintings were first exhibited at MoMA, in 1963, their reductive imagery and stark palette shocked visitors, prompting at least one Museum membership cancellation in protest.
I think I know what you mean. I have a similar problem with a few actors. My mother used to drive me nuts with Charles Bronson, Clint Eastwood, and Chuck Norris when I was younger. Can't stand them. My knee-jerk response has mellowed some, to the point where I can watch some Eastwood stuff without twitching too terribly ("High Plains Drifter" is a good one-that dapple grey is gorgeous), but they'll never be any favorites.

Uh, yeah, Brokeback Mountain was total fail, on so many levels that I can't even begin to enumerate. The humor in Knight's Tale isn't touted as deliberate, and while I didn't care for the romantic aspects of it either, I think what I loved most about it was the romanticizing of chivalry and knighthood, Chaucer as the penniless gambling addict, the female armorsmith who invents the Nike swoop, and how the romance between "knight" and lady becomes the love story of all the characters, not just the romantic leads.
For those, it's worth a watch. Definitely have to be in the right mood for it though, and by all means don't take it seriously...
Except for the line about changing your stars.

He's rolls over cruisers in this thing. I need one of these in my garage. *lol*
Oleg wrote: "I hate batman. And Bale and Heath? My biggest hates when it comes to the movies lol."Hey wait a second, what about Heath in "A Knight's Tale?" I laughed my ass off so hard through that entire movie. It's so chock full of anachronistic bullshit, you can't even take it seriously. My favorite kinds of movies. =D
I thought Heath was very convincing... I have heard many things over the years about how he sank into the role, and how it effected him off-set. That it led him into a personal exploration of his dark side, and created some... issues.Hands down, no doubt--best Joker in the history of the character. I think one of my favorite things about Heath in this role was his expressions. I have an expression much like the one here. I can stop screaming tantrums at twenty paces with it.
Christian Bale, I'm not a big fan of. I did like the Batman toys in the newer renditions though. That BatMobile tank thing is to die for. (I'm all about the TOYS. Heh.)

*snerks* I kinda figured.
Either way, they're just roles. I moonlight as a villain, actually. For balance.
*laughs* Aiko what have you done to me.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryiUsg...
I'm supposed to be editing, and am now lost in YoutubeLand.

OH MY FUCK.
I'm in love.
HOLY SHIT.
*replay forever*
Yes, those kinds of tears. :) Hopefully this is one book that will be well-judged, and accurately so, by its cover.Still working on that. :D
Sadly, I do not have this version for my desktop wallpaper, never mind my wall. *sighs* Cannot describe how much I want it though. I'm on the verge of tears with want. *laughs*I think the purple and blue highlights in Black's hair is my favorite part... I think. Maybe. The detail is killing me. I keep finding new pieces to like...
*lol* nice! I think I might do the same. After pondering the pro's and cons of the "s" in "anyways" for a total of twenty minutes, it's probably safe to conclude that my brain is edit-fried.In other news, I stumbled upon this today. http://ceruleanvii.deviantart.com/art... -- the actual deviantart post linked to here has some...interesting comments.
But here's a detail of the final cover art version. Set your coffee down, swallow, and Skwee With Me:

That's actually what this shot is supposed to be from, to be honest. Selene will always be my favorite super hero. *lol*
Hey! If I gotta have a "super hero costume" then damn it, it's going to involve leather and Dr Martins and a really cool London Fog trenchcoat. Ha.
Oh, I have a preference:And it goes a little something like this.
It's not a restriction!...It's just a... strong lack of preference.
LOL.
