“I met Hoosier the second day at New River. He had arrived two days before us and Captain High-Hips had made him his runner. In that first unorganized week his clothes were always spattered with mud from his countless trips through the mire between the captain’s office and the other huts. I disliked him at first. He seemed inclined to look down on us from his high position in Captain High-Hips office. He seemed surly to with his square strong figure, tow hair and blue eyes - his curt intelligences from on high: “Cap’n wants two men to bring in the lieutenants box.” But I was too inexperienced to see that the surliness was but a front for his being scared, like all of us. The immobile face was a facade; the forced downward curve of the mouth a hastily erected defense against the unknown. With time and friendship that mouth would curve in a different direction upward in a grin that was pure joy.”

This is the End and the endless jokes about rape
Let’s talk about This is the End.
It’s celebrity rpf (Apocalypse AU) and whatever, the beginning of the movie is sort of fun, with a lot of cameos and celebrities running around partying.
didn’t want to see this is the first place since everyone is playing themselves and at this point it just seems like pride, but now i REALLY don’t wanna see it. funny how everyone on facebook called it “the funniest thing i’ve seen in a while!!!!!!”
Yeah, I think I’ll skip this one.
Oh wow, Warm Bodies was everything I hoped and dreamed it would be!* And more!**
*basically just me squealing over Nicholas Hoult’s puppy-dog face for 98 minutes.
**good lord, the music!
So, I’m almost definitely going RIVER SURFING this summer, or at least once I move to Calgary!
