Fun with movies and a little bit of an update

Happy April 1st everyone.

I’m not much of an April Fools prankster so you don’t have to worry about any misinformation from me. I’ve seen enough misleading articles being passed around the internet already today that I have no desire to pull a fast one on anyone :)

1) I’m still recovering from my weekend out of town. We had a lot of fun. I had prepared myself to write an entire LJ entry regarding it and as soon as I went to type it up, the words just failed to burst forth. Hopefully tonight I will do better, plus I have plenty of pics and videos to share (If you’re interested in that type of thing)

2) I will be heading up to Target on my lunch break today to purchase my copy of Sweeney Todd. I’m so excited. I wasn’t able to view this movie in the theatre because my Hubby wouldn’t go because A) It’s a musical and B) He couldn’t deal with my squeeage over Judge Turpin.

3) While at Universal’s Islands of Adventure I checked out the construction on the new Harry Potter theme park, “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter”. It seems to be coming along rather nicely. The ground has been prepared and construction has begun. They have the area hidden pretty well so I only have a couple pictures and a video that I will post later this evening along with a more detailed description.

4) I am so happy, only 11 more days until I fly up to New Jersey to meet Lindsey/ bonorattle I’m pretty sure NJ will never be the same after this.

5) So we’re sitting here talking about obscure/non-popular 80’s movies. Here’s a list of some of them, see how many you’ve seen!

-Shelly is also President of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, NY (I WISH!!)
-Shelly is a BEAUTIFUL person inside and out!! (Ummm, not really)
-Shelly is flooded with responses from men seeking exactly what she's offering, but she doesn't always get what she's looking for. (Man, I'm a slut)
-Shelly is finally dedicating herself to recovery (From my Hugh and Alan addiction I assume lol)
-Shelly is enjoying growing older and values the lessons life has taught her (I suppose this would be true)

****I just finished watching Sweeney Todd with my husband.****
-He enjoyed it and didn't make one comment or verbal grunt about Alan Rickman being in it.
-Wow, what a twisted story and movie. Should I be frightened that I loved it?
-Judge Turpin, what a sick, twisted freak. Damn you Alan for making me not hate him.
-It was great to watch while not having any idea where the story was going. I knew a bare minimum about the plot and for that I am grateful.
-The "gore factor" didn't bother me as much as I thought.
-All the actors were phenomenal, especially Helena Bonham Carter, Johnny Depp, Alan Rickman and Ed Sanders (Toby the orphan)
