movies, casting, recipes

Katie Heigl is awesome. Katie Heigl's boobs are awesome. Seth Rogen is awesome. Everybody who was ever associated with Freaks and Geeks is awesome. I was looking to Knocked Up for all of these reasons, but it surpassed ALL my expectations. Seriously: awesome.

Okay, I am totally OTP Ben/Allison all the way, but ... Pete and Ben had wasted on mushrooms crazy Vegas hotel sex, yes/no?

I also learned today that Lee Scoresby in the Golden Compass is going to be played by none other than SAM ELLIOTT. I feel vaguely saddened that not one of you had seen fit to inform me of this. Even though I realize none of you probably realize that Sam Elliott information is a big deal in my house. I come by my fangirlness honestly: my mom is to Sam Elliott as many of *you* are to CKR or Jensen Ackles. Seriously. Anyway: nice casting!

Two recipes I made this week from epicurious.com: Sausage, Salami and Mozzarella Tart and Three Cheese Lasagna with Italian Sausage. Omigod, both of them came out incredibly, incredibly well. I haven't made lasagna from scratch before, but everybody in my family loved this one, and they're hard to please. And the tart was just ridiculously yummy (probably the fact I used fresh mozzarella that was sitting in our fridge helped).

I once got to frisk Sam Elliot, when I worked doing screening at the airport in Eugene, Oregon. He is an extremely nice person, as are his wife and his mother. I'm looking forward to post-finals time when I can both cook and go to the movie theater again :)

Wow, if I tell that story to my mother, she will be jealous FOREVER. (She likes to joke that he was the reason we moved to Oregon. Oh, crazy fangirls.)

I think it's safe to say that there was an attempted mushroom induced romp, but that the chairs watching them made Ben too uncomfortable to perform.

BTW, I completely loved the movie as well. Judd Apatow is my hero.

I like your theory!

Dude, seriously, Ben/Allison OTP, but Pete/Ben ftw! They had sex on one of those chairs. It was weird.

<3 I like your brain a lot, Kovsky. Just so you know.

::blink::

But, *of course* Sam Elliot is playing Lee Scoresby. I didn't even know that and I knew that!

Heeeeee, it's true! It just seems RIGHT with the universe, doesn't it?

My dad looked a lot like Sam Elliot, so my mom is a big fan too. When he shaved off his trademark mustache she had a fit.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Man, he's really just not the same without it, is he? At least he can't get rid of the voice.

LJ is being really evil about comments lately, isn't it?

[inkdot.livejournal.com]

Extremely. I was going to say something delightful and pithy, I've no doubt, about Knocked Up, but I'll be buggered if I can remember what that was!
