I have listened to a lot of Eminem today

[healingmirth]

Sometimes I wish I could rewind the radio. I mean, I don't see any reason why I couldn't have, like, a thing that does. I'm sure someone has created and/or coded one. I've spent all day listening, more or less, to pop radio, but I don't think I've learned any song titles or artists because I fail at listening to the talking parts. And the station's website sort of makes my eyes bleed. Also, I don't care all that much.

I'm not going to answer it, but today's Writers Block on LJ is:
Vampires, again?
Is there a TV show that everyone around you watches that you really don't get or like? If so, what is it? To what do you ascribe the odd fascination?

I can't say whether or not I'm excited for Fast Five, but I enjoy actiony movies with cars, and it will certainly be that. These pictures, though: here be casting spoilers. OMG Y'all, those pictures. Badass, badass, badass... hey, who's that goofy kid in the corner? One of these things is not like the others, is what I'm saying. Bless him.

It seems like there is rather a lot of Lady Gaga RPF already over in Porn Battle-land. Is this, like, a thing, or is it just battle randomness?

AAAAAAAH VIN AND TYRESE *_*

Man, Paul Walker has always been the (almost) token white boy of the series, but it's way more obvious when you line them all up like that.

I know, right? On the one hand, I want to say hooray diverse cast, and on the other hand... wait, they're all criminals. Good-hearted criminals! Forced to the edge by circumstance... and their adrenaline addictions... and love.

I've got to say, I'm really curious as to who the dogged lawmen pursuing them are going to be, and how easy it will be to lure them over to the dark side.

ETA: Although, Luda's not done anything theft-like. I think?

Hee, Luda's character does run illegal street races? So, still kind of a criminal.

The commentary for #2 is really funny, John Singleton spends a lot of time perving on his boyfriend Tyrese giggling at the fact that Paul Walker obviously doesn't realise he's white. Aw, Paul. And Tyrese. *hearts*

Yeah, but not a carrying-a-gun sort of illegal. Not a "you'll never take me alive, copper," sort of illegal, so much as a sort of brotherhood of mischiefmakers? I am curious to see what develops.

Dwayne Johnson's the law enforcement guy hunting them down! Not sure whom he's working for, but IMDB's listed him as Agent Johnson, so there's that. I'm already rubbing my hands with glee about this.

He just ran the races in 2F2F, but I wouldn't be surprised if they sucked him in for whatever reason.

I'm pretty sure that just being Dominic Toronto is a federal crime by now, so I'd guess FBI. It'd be pretty hilarious if he joined the grand tradition of Agents Johnson from over in Die Hard land.

OH SHIT plotbunny, and the movie hasn't even come out yet. D:

I had half a kiss bingo story written based on one of the Sorcerer's Apprentice commercials. Writing before the movies filmed just means you get more creative license!

Pre-emptive ficcing/shipping does have its benefits!
