Today I was surfing the net looking for pics from the movie The Last Unicorn, I didn't find any high quality pics... but I did find out there's another movie in the making! I bet this is super old news... at least to anyone that knows what I'm talking about ^__^; Now I can't wait for the movie, it's not going to be an animation so I hope the special effects will be good. I'm sure anyone reading this is thinking, "What the hell is The Last Unicorn?!" Well it's an anime movie... sort of, I believe the animation was done in Japan but made for America, so the voices didn't have to be dubbed into English. The Last Unicorn was made in the 80's so it's a pretty old movie now... but the story is really great! The theme of the movie's about a unicorn... the last unicorn! *dun - dun - dun* I bet you weren't expecting that! Were ya?Yeah, I can't remember the plot very well. I haven't watched the movie in a few years now... though I do own it, somewhere, so I guess I could watch it any time. Then there's also a book, which I haven't read (since I don't read and all)... but I guess it's just as good.

Aside from that, today I did something I've been avoiding for many years now. Finally... I started reading Harry Potter fan fiction. I really didn't want to start *sigh* I enjoyed reading Harry Potter in ignorance, and I figured if I started with the fan fiction, my ideas on couples would get screwed around with. Before today, I pretty much had it figured that the pairings would be Hermione with Ron and Harry with Ginny, any other people didn't enter into the equation for pairing-off with other people because they were far more minor characters. This whole thing started because two of my friends were talking about all the fanfction in Harry Potter, and how there were so many strange pairings (one of my friends loved the weird pairings, the other couldn't understand it at all). One of the pairings they brought up in conversation was Harry and Draco. I was shocked, I really was, I hadn't thought too much about any pairings beyond the two listed above and I hadn't really wanted too. But then, I just had to go on fanfiction.net and ruin all that! Damn, liked my pure ideas for once! And now they are all gone *sobs* If I ever read Harry Potter again, it will be in a whole new, twisted, light. First I started reading a Harry Snape one, mostly because I was disgusted with the idea... and still am, lol... I never would see that one coming and wanted to see how people portrayed the relationship. Blah. I have problems with relationships involving people 30+ years in age difference, especially if one is in their teens or lower.

(btw, that's also why I avoid all Kakashi/Naruto, Kakashi/Sasuke or Kakashi/Sakura fics... even though once I almost liked the idea of Sakura nd Kakashi as a couple in one fic, though Sakura was in her twenties at the time, anyway whatever, back to Harry Potter... my brain always jump to Naruto it seems)

Anyho! So yeah, after reading one or two Harry/Snape fics I was traumatized and needed to read something... better. I had a whole bunch of choices (because everything that moves in Harry Potter is paired up with everyone else that moves, in one fic or another) and the only one the struck me as interesting was Harry and Draco... so I started reading... and now I'm obsessed with a pairing that will never exist in the books O__O Why do I do this to myself? I've come to the conclusion that I have a strange love for characters (whether they be het, yaoi or yuri... yuri not as much, but I still have an open mind about it all) when they are preferably rivals (maybe a little too obsessive of rivals) and one is mean and other is nice, sort of like ying and yang or darkness and light, blah blah with the metaphors and how they balance eachother out, also how one tends to have blond hair (lol) and how one has a 'dark' past most of the time. It's odd really, almost all couples in anime (or, in this case, Harry Potter) I obsess over have some or all of these qualities about them.

Yesterday I tried watching Naruto episode 77, but BakaSans version is messed up so instead of closing media player every 2 minutes then reopening it after the glitch, I'll just download another version when I have time. After the disappointment of not being able to watch Naruto, I decided to watch a movie called Equilibrium that my dad rented. I'd never heard of it before, but it sure surprised me. It reminded me of a cross between The Matrix and a book called The Giver. The movie was taking place after a 3rd world war, humans decide that another war would destroy the planet. To prevent another war they do away with emotions, which is the cause of war, by taking some sort of injection regularly. The main dude is the number one police officer in the stop against the resistance. He burns any art work or music and kills people deemed with the crime of 'feeling' on sight. A little into the movie he breaks his morning injection by accident and before he takes another injection, he starts feeling... at first he almost takes the next injection out of fear for the emotions he's starting to have but he stops himself, so he stops taking the injections. Slowly he begins realising how by doing away with emotions is a heavy price to pay for trying to prevent war; as emotions are what makes us human... blah blah blah on the story goes, with about 4 twists around the end. It's the best movie I've seen in a while. Oh, and if you couldn't follow my crappy summary, that's because I"m crap at giving them. When someone asks me what a movie's about, I either try to tell them a short summary (and fail) or try to give a blow by blow 'summary' of the movie, right down to what people were saying. I have a huge problem trying to tell someone the short version of a story, it's almost impossible, lol! I also saw Hell Boy on Monday night, I know most people that have seen it thought it was really great but didn't like it all that much, sure the special effects were stunning but the mix of comedy and action didn't suit me. The only thing I tired to remember from the movie was when at one point someone said something along the lines of "We like a person for their ____, but we love them for their _____(inadiqucies?)" lol, aren't I great at remembering things? I thought it was a neat quote, and tried to remember it, and look how well that turned out.

Right now I'm off to watch Kaikan Phrase... or maybe Juuni Kokki... or read my Harry Potter fics *sigh* Ja!
