Soccer Night and the Sweetie's Film Choices

[przed]

The forecast was calling for thunderstorms tonight, and we were down five kids (including our best player), but the seven we had played a really scrappy game in spite of being on the field a lot. Ros even was really mixing it up and is starting to not overthink the dribbling. Yay! We still lost, 2 - 6, but given the fact that the other team's coach had one phenomenal player and was running actual strategy that sometimes even worked, I'd say we did pretty good.

In other news, the Sweetie has just informed me that he and his (also straight) film-going buddy are going to see Magic Mike tomorrow night. That's why I love 'im. Though I'm a bit bitter he'll get to see it before me. (I tried to go with a friend last night but it sold out. We saw the entirely lovely Moonrise Kingdom instead.)

Raising kids is a study in contradictions. "I want you to be strong and independent, but also to do what Mommy and Daddy say." ::headdesk::

Why do I think the lead characters should be played by Howard Donald and Robbie Williams? Or Jason Orange and Mark Owen? Why??

That would be awesome!

Moonrise Kingdom is typical Wes Anderson, which is to say extremely mannered and stylized, but I thought it was charming. My opinion was no doubt influenced by the fact that it's set in the year I was born (1965!) and there was a lot of things that had huge resonance for me. The girl in the story is always reading these library books that looked like the kids books I read in our local library, and the boy is at a scout camp that brought to mind my guide camping experiences. But it's really very sweet as well. Also, Edward Norton in a scout uniform is gawkily charming.

PS: I've only just noticed I do not have a Howard/Rob-icon. What's WRONG with me?!?

Howard/Rob pics are hard to find. I know from experience. But your winking!Rob icon is perfect!

But that's the challenge - and be honest: you love a good challenge, don't you? *g*

I'll give Moonrise Kingdom a chance then. The way you describe it, it sounds an awful lot of fun.

But just the other day there were a couple of lovely Howard-and-Rob-doing-interviews-together-posts on tumblr - there must be some nice pics! Meanwhile have some lovely Mark-and-Howard-are-supermen instead... :)

Oh, I missed those Howard and Rob interviews posts on Tumblr. Shall have to go poking around for them. (Trying to break up with Tumblr is sooooo hard.)

[soundofthesurf.livejournal.com]

Trying to make it easier for you, but failing big time. :/ The pics were from this interview...



...without the text, obviously, but I can't find them anymore. Le sigh. Am I the only one who never finds things again on tumblr?? Anyway, they were very nice, a series with pics like that. Have some singing Donalliams, erm, Willonald...or whatever their name is instead...



Off to bed now. I'll go on a quest to find them tomorrow, okay??

EDIT: LOOK WHAT I FOUND IN MY TUMBLR QUEUE!!

Oh, I have seen that interview, though not the pics from it. Love the way Rob's looking at Howard there.

And that gif of Rob kissing Howard is ADORABLE! Baby!Rob is just irresistible. And I don't usually think that about him.
