Tonight's (not Halley) movie

[ltgmars]

Letters from Iwo Jima was a doozy, though it was the first time I've looked forward to watching a war movie since Matthew Broderick in Glory (I know, I have weird celebrity crushes, don't bother me). I can't say that I didn't want to watch it entirely because of Nino, but I was glad in the end to have seen it. It was a good movie in its own right.

I watched it with Andrew. Originally I had convinced William to watch it, too, but he... still hasn't finished one of his finals... so he was theoretically working on that tonight. Andrew, though, has been a good boy and has been learning all of Arashi's names and characteristics. I said last night, "Tomorrow we're watching a depressing war movie because my favorite's in it." He nodded obediently.

And really, it wasn't as depressing as I was expecting. It was almost triumphant in a way I didn't think a war movie as seen from the losing side could be. But the entire thing was just so honest -- from the brutality of war to the writhing emotions of the characters themselves -- that in the end it seemed as if they accomplished something. Or maybe it's that the movie itself accomplished something in terms of what it's trying to say, whatever it is that it's trying to say.

It was a little annoying when we were interrupted periodically with Will's roaming around the living room and asking, "How's Nino?" ("Still alive," was my mumbled response, eyes glued to the screen as if in a trance.) After it was all over, though, we sat in silence and watched the credits roll until Andrew laughed when "Kazunari Ninomiya" came up.

I mean, I dunno. I'm sure I've covered it up well, what with my endless articulate wit and all, but I've always been bad at talking about things or critiquing things. "It was good. I liked it." Nino was really fantastic, no joke. They all were.

(Also, I hated that when Nino's character mentioned that he was a baker from Ohmiya, all I could think of was, well, Ohmiya. Having to squish down my fangirl glee took away from the experience a little bit.)


And then I came back to the internet and watched Arashi's latest Music Station performance. Cathartic reflection on war and friendship and family and the meaning of life, broken by the song and dance of a Japanese boy band, both featuring the same man. Yes. Good. This is my life.

I thought this movie was really interesting too, and I'd love to talk about it sometime with you. I really miss you. D: D: D:

We'll talk soon, I promise! I'm going to try to finish writing a letter to you today.

inez sweetie. your message! i was so happy~ i got it during my lunch break. i accidentally deleted it, sadly, when i tried to replay it somewhere quieter (because you are adorable and mumble). such is life. weeping! but were you refering to those amazing pictures from this month's issue of weekly the television in which arashi sports spectacles? or did i completely mishear you.

ohno's pair are very similar to mine. TRUE LOVE? no. ~*~he already has a true love~*~ in nino.



notice how i drew the V sign in. my attention to detail is what makes me a good librarian.

but, defriends, because you didn't pronounce my name right. it's CAM-AH-AY (camma-a, rhymes with gamma-ray). :/




















































kidding. :x ily.

I actually talked about looking at topless pictures of Jun (no lie), but omigod I'm so glad you brought up the latest megane scans because they're SO AMAZING. And the drawn-in V sign looks so natural. (This is why I love you.)

I mumble because it makes me feel closer to Ohno. Also, I was nervous and awkward and I didn't know what to say. But. ♥

a treat

♥ if you haven't seen these. no words. i want to see him bukkaked. D: SORRY.

... fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck Nino why do you look so vulnerable?

Ohno will protect him from bukkake before he has his way with him. Wait, why did I cross that part out?

sniffles, i love you too. :x i honestly hope we can speak more~ i know you're not as chatty as i, but. . . even if your call caused my phone to break (no lie, it decided to give up on life about three hours later. oh well, time for another installment of ~*~buying new things~*~!)

as for ohmiya. . . we must protect ohno, the poor simple man, from being ensnared by the villainness matsujun

figure 1.


figure 2.


and both of those are so recent - the despair! juntoshi, go away. there is just way too much grease and face fat and hair product and self-loathing and pancake makeup in that pairing at the moment. ohno's dirtiness needs to be offset by the epitome of purity, nino (i could barely type that with a straight face - er hands. ?)

okay, leaving <3

Yeah, Jun, what's the deal, slutting it up around Ohno? It makes me sad. D: Nino needs to stop doing the subtle-touches thing and just go back to his old grabby-hands ways. Then Ohno'll know what's up for realz.

I mean, I understand Ohno's appeal and why everyone would want to get his hands down his pants, but his pants are tight and only have room for Nino's hands. ♥ So GTFO, Jun. :O
