movie-downloading weekend!

i found [ok, joe etzine invited me] a site that lets you download movies for cheap. it's not free, not even the trial day, though that's only 99cents. so i was surfing through it for movies to download and found out the trial restrictions: only movies made before 2008 and in divx format. which is still a lot of movies. and those i can't download there i'm torrenting. and vary rapidly as well, which is awesome. i found about 7 movies to download from the site, and 5 more that i'm torrenting. it's quite a few lesser-known, kinda foreign films. foreign in the sense they're not american, though still in english. like canadian or british movies.

so, after all this downloading, my movie collection will be:
- 9
- Airplane!
- Angels and Insects
- Battle Royale
- Boondock Saints
- Boondock Saints 2
- Born of Hope
- Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
- The Darjeeling Limited
- The Devil's Brigade
- The Emperor's New Groove
- Fire and Ice
- Franklyn
- The Hunt for Red October
- The Imaginarium of DoctorParnassus
- Inglorious Basterds
- Ink
- King Arthur
- The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Extended Edition
- The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Extended Edition
- The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Extended Edition
- MirrorMask
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail
- Nightwatching
- Passchendaele
- Perfect Creatures
- Phone Booth
- Pineapple Express
- The Prestige
- Puffball
- Requiem for a Dream
- The Secret of Kells
- Steamboy
- Tideland
- A Viking Saga
- Wristcutters

and that's quite an eclectic collection of movies.

as far as ficage, i found a fill that started out as what would happen if the UK broke apart: N Ireland went back to Ireland, and Scotland separated, but Wales stays. and now it's become WW3. and there's a lot of BAMF stuff going on, and an enjoyable assortment of OC nations. candesceres draw a few things for it, and i just picture her versions of the countries when i read it. it makes me incredibly happy that RoI is a girl and so is Mexico. there's sort of 2 versions of Israel too: Jacob, 'real' Israel, and Sarah, all the displaced jews around the world. the first parts are here and it's continued here and IT WAS JUST UPDATED SO NOW I MUST GO READ IT.

RELEVANT! Northern Ireland [male] and Republic of Ireland [female] by candesceres for 'Family Ties.'

wow, hetalia makes the olympics so much better! they were just pimping canada, and it was way more entertaining than i would have found it before. they even had kennedy's quote about the relationship between canada and the us. also, harper went before the parliament to encourage canadians to be loud and patriotic for their athletes, and they would apologize for their rudeness later. i loled.

ski jumping is on now. not the opening ceremony, for some reason. oh well, it's coming.

also, depressingly, someone died on the luge track this morning. a luge athlete from georgia [the country] lost control and flew off the track. they showed the footage.
