Import success, Baby!  
All of my LJ entries have been imported (finally) to here! *does a happy dance*  Now I don't have to worry about losing all of my fangirling goodness. Woot!

Mike and have been watching movies. (Or, more correctly, Mike's been watching to movies while I've been glancing at them as a cross stitch.) 

We rented Unstoppable first.  Obviously the director has watched Speed as many times as I have because, dude, some of the scenes were just like it except there was a train instead of a bus.  That being said, it had practically none of the awesomeness of Speed.  No epicness of Dennis Hopper, no awesomeness of Sandra Bullock, no whoaness of Keanu Reeves.  Not even the decent looks of Chris Pine could save the movie.  (Though Denzel Washington did have a couple of good lines.)

We got Tron Legacy last night. Let me break my overly critical tendencies to say what is good. The special effects.  They were top notch. Now for the not-so-good: The story was long and, well, pretty darn predictable.  I'm sure people who loved the original movie probably love the movie, but as for someone from the outside looking in, I thought it was ok. 

Unstoppable gets a solid C- and Tron Legacy gets a...C+ (though the special effects might throw it to a B- if I'm feeling nice.)

Oh, and he watched The A-Team again.  At least that once has enough explosions to keep me interested (though I still cross-stitched throughout the movie, LOL) and Liam Neeson is made of all kinds of awesome.

The big bang fics are slow going.  I'm hand writing my Tangled fic (for now) and haven't touched the other two this week.  I'm hoping I hit the 25k mark (seriously, what kind of mod comes up with the large of a number? LOL) with my plot.  I'm suddenly worried that I'll end up with 15k and the story is over.  LOL

I thought Unstoppable was great.

Not seen Tron Legacy. Got A-Team for Christmas after a couple of friends highly recommended it and it's very enjoyable :D

Oh, Mike really liked it too. I'm one of those people who find issues with 95% of movies that I watch. (Though if a movie makes it into that five percent, I am a fangirl of it. For life.) LOL

I think Tron Legacy probably would have been more enjoyable if I knew the first movie. Mike's buddy who loves the original movie really appreciated all the throwbacks to it. (The only way I was familiar with it was when we went on the PeopleMover at Disneyland before it closed, LOL)

Edit for html!fail LOL

Yay! Mine imported as well. I wouldn't have known it, having given up, if you hadn't posted this.

Unstoppable doesn't have Keanu. That's all you need to say. Without his blank face, what's the point? :)

I had read the dw_maintenance post that it was going to take about a week...and since the DDoS attacks seem to be lessening, I was keeping my fingers crossed. Now, thanks to cross-posting awesomeness, I never have to worry about losing a post again. :D :D

Exactly, LOL. You've gotta love Keanu and his expressionless face, LOL.
