Let´s forget about Raoul, the blogger formerly known as Sanni. I need to change my name again!

I´m not a huge fan of gaming consoles, but there´s one reason why I absolutely love the PS3: The Blue-ray Disc Player.
We love watching movies. We´ve been out to cinema at least once a week before until Luis was born. Today we prefer to watch a movie at home, on the couch, covered with blankets, while the little one is sleeping upstairs. Home cinema rocks, as well as home-made (salty) popcorn.

I Am LegendYesterday I found out the blanket does not only keep us warm. It´s also a fantastic helper. I can hide under the blanket. 8-) What happened to the girl who loved watching movies as scary as possible? The fan of SAW and Hostel??? I found myself hiding under the blanket, suffering from heart rhythm disturbance (!!!) while watching “I Am Legend”.

Can you believe this? I totally freaked out while Frank and Jersey went out for the good-night walk after we watched the movie, because I was DARK outside. Going to sleep after they returned? Impossible. I stayed up until 3 am and had weird dreams during the rest of the night!

I still hope it´s a matter of pregnancy hormones. Yes, I am trying to blame it on the hormones. The best excuse for every odd thing… gorge attacks, crying my eyes out without any reason, hiding under the blanket while watching a (pretty cool) PG-13 movie.

Can you hear me, oh dancing pregnancy hormones??? It´s all YOUR fault! Sheesh!

Coffee And Cake

Otherwise I will never ever again have the possibility to watch the Looney Tunes without a hiding place. No more Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner? Impossible! *LOL*

Coffee and cake, anyone?

And now…
… our moment of Homer J.:

Homer: Trying is the first step toward failure.

Actor Heath Ledger was found dead at a Manhattan apartment this afternoon in what appeared to be a possible drug-related death; he was 28. The actor was discovered in one of the SoHo apartment’s bedrooms at 3:31 p.m., when a masseuse arrived for a scheduled appointment and the residence’s housekeeper went to inform the actor of the masseuse’s arrival. He was found unconscious and unresponsive; the New York Times stated that the apartment in question belonged to actress Mary-Kate Olsen, who was not present and was believed to be out of state. An initial police report also cited by the New York Times said that foul play was not suspected and that pills had been found near Ledger’s body.A native of Australia, Ledger shot to fame as a teen heartthrob in 10 Things I Hate About You before graduating to more adult roles, most notably his Oscar-nominated turn in Brokeback Mountain. Engaged at one time to Brokeback co-star Michelle Williams, the two had a daughter but had split in recent months. Earlier this year, Ledger wrapped filming on the Batman film The Dark Knight, in which he played The Joker; the film is currently set for release this summer.

Heath Ledger, who made his way into my list of favorite actors by breaking hearts in “10 Things I Hate About You” and his role “Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein of Gelderland” in one of my favorite movies of all time, “A Knight´s Tale”, also hit it big with Brokeback Mountain, a role that nabbed him both a Golden Globe and Academy Award nomination. He recently wrapped on “The Dark Knight” as “Joker”, and was headed for “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus”.

He is survived by his two-year-old daughter Matilda Rose (whom he had with actress and fiancee Michelle Williams). Condolences all around.

You will be deeply missed, Heath. Rest in PEACE!

You might already know it - I´m addicted to coffee, shopping (especially shoes *grin*) and I´m a huge Simpson´s fan.

About 2 years ago The Simpsons Movie was announced in Germany (production, etc. ) - now, ages later… we´ve been out to have our yellow moments in feature-length! WOOT!!! Finally!!!

The Simpsons Movie

We´ve had a bunch of fun watching the full-length cartoon movie. My favorite character is Homer - obviously (see our daily moment of Homer J.), followed by Maggie, Bart, Mr Burns and all the other more or less yellow citizens of Springfield, Wherever, U.S.! I also like Waylon Smithers, he assistant of C. Montgomery Burns, lots. Since Smithers and Burns played a short guest part in The Simpson´s Movie, I decided to honor them bit in this TT. Some (gay) friends and me myself have asked ourselves often, if mr Smithers might be gay… Yeah, I know… it´s totally strange to consider about the sexual preferences of anybody, especially of a cartoon character, but we are a kind of strange clique *LOL* and we even investigated, presenting the results proudly *wink*:

13 hints Mr Smithers might be gay…
… and in love with Mr Burns

1.) When Lisa seeks Smithers for help in contacting the inventor of Malibu Stacey, Smithers gets the information from his home computer. When he turns the computer on, the computer screen shows a nude Burns that utters in broken English: “Hello, Smithers. You’re…quite…good…at…turning…me…on.” - plus Waylon owns the largest Malibu Stacey collection.
- Lisa vs Malibu Stacey

2.) When Burns fantasies about Marge, he asks Smithers about that dream where you’re in bed and they fly in through the window. Smithers groans with pleasure, imagining Burns himself flying through his bedroom window. Smithers says, “You’ve been reading my wishbook, sir.”
- Marge Gets a Job

3.)In a flashback, Smithers explains why he “couldn’t keep his marriage together.” In which his wife blames Mr Burns for ruining the relationship
- Secrets of a Successful Marriage

4.)Burns asks Smithers to take off his belt; Smithers replies, “with pleasure, sir.”
- Burns, Baby, Burns

5.)In a restaurant Smithers discovers John, who is an homosexual, eating dinner with the Simpson family, and becomes upset.
Smithers: “So this is your “sick mother”?”
John: “Don’t do this to me, Waylon.”
- Homer´s Phobia

6.)When Springfield Nuclear Power Plant is about to suffer catastrophic meltdown. Burns remarks “I guess there’s nothing left but to kiss my sorry ass good-bye.” Smithers asks, “May I, sir?”
- Homer Defined

7.) When a record thrown by Moe hits Smithers in the head, Smithers appears to get excited when he sees the record’s title “It’s raining Men.”
- Fear Of Flying

8.) During the “In the Navy” musical number, Smithers, for some reason, is seen dancing next to the Village People on top of a submarine.
- Simpson Tide

9.) Smithers is “caught on film” leaving a burlesque house. Burns demands an explanation; Smithers replies, “My parents insisted I give it a try.”
- Bart After Dark

10.) When Lisa’s message-rocket breaks into Mr. Burns’s office and lands in his suit, the old man tells Smithers he has “a rocket in my pocket.” Waylon’s knowing reply: “You don’t have to tell me, sir.”
- A Litthe Wiggy

11.) When Mr. Burns is shocked at “Hit Man” Hart’s “old man smell” remark, Smithers tells him he has an enchanting musk.
- The Old Man And The Lisa

12.) When Mr. Burns goes through his lunch, he comes across… “One jar of garlic pickles. No one will want to kiss me after these, eh Smithers?” to which Smithers replies “It’s their loss, sir.”
- D´OH-ing In The Wind

13.) In this episode, Smithers basically shows a lot of resentment towards Burns courting Marge’s mother. When Burns asks for help in composing a love letter, Smithers recites “`Darling one, read my words and hear my heart speak of a love soft and undying: a love that will be with you always. Sincerely,’ yatta, yatta, yatta.” Burns asks how he thought it up so fast. Smithers cries, “I sent it to you on your birthday! *sob* Excuse me, I have something in my eye!”
- Lady Bouvier´s Lover

Happy TT and thanks for stopping by,

And now…
… our moment of Homer J.:

Homer: There’s your giraffe, little girl.
Ralph Wiggum: I’m a boy.
Homer: That’s the spirit. Never give up.

Dedicated to my American visitors, friends and fellow blogger



Happy Independence Day,

Sanni

And now…
… our moment of Independence Day - one of my fave movies:

President Thomas J. Whitmore [Bill Pullman]:

In less than one hour aircraft from here will join others from around the world, and you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind….. mankind… that word should have a new meaning for all of us today. We can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore… We will be united in our common interest. Perhaps it is fate that today is the fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, opression, or persecution, but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live, to exist, and should we win today, the fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the whole world declared in one voice ‘We will not go quietly into the night, we will not vanish without a fight, we are going to live on, we are going to survive, today, we celebrate our Independence Day! (cheers)
