You could always find a beta over at harmonylibrary. :)
I rather enjoyed The Bourne Identity, though keep meaning to read the books.

It's a book? well, considering Hollywood has no "new" ideas, it shouldn't surprise me. I asked Alex at witherwings.net, and he's either going to beta-read my fic himself or find someone for me (it's for the challenge :) 'course, I can't have a judge read it. ;) I'll let my sister know it exists in book form; she'll probably want to read it -she's a bookworm.

Perhaps not.
Well, its much easier to build on previously established success, than create something new.

I'm so sorry you had a poor B&N experience. :/ I can't help but walk out with a new book in hand should I step foot inside in the first place!

The Bourne Identity is good, but I understand the mood thing completely. I've really been in a fantasy movie mood lately. I'm so glad Howl's Moving Castle comes out tonight (as does GoF ;]). More Myazaki....woo hoo!!! Have you seen it and/or read the book it's based on? Diana Wynne Jones is a fantasitic and entertaining writer of young adult fantasy. I'm 25 and I enjoy her! :D

I'm sure I should know what it stands for, but what is NCIS?

hmm.. I'm not sure. Navy Criminal Investigation S.. (scene, science, squad, something like that - what else starts with an 'S'?) I'll have to look it up. It was a spin-off from JAG. (Judge Advocate General?... do I have to look that up too?), I think.

I haven't seen any of Myazaki's stuff yet. I've been meaning too - since it's getting rave reviews and even Oscar nods... but never got around to it. And that's a book too???? God, I'm so out of it.

My parents used to watch JAG. :)

Oh, every film is worth the hours spent viewing. (Beware of The Cat's Return, though. I have a friend that really likes it, but I thought it was rushed. Then again, it's Myazaki's protege (or what have you) that directs it instead of him.) I'd list my personal favorites, but then you'd just be getting a list of most of the films anyway. ;) Check him out...soon! :D

here it is: Naval Criminal Investigative Service. That's what it stands for :D

I'll beta your H/Hr fic if you like. Reading about alternate pairings can be fun. Would you mind terribly if I send over my Frangelina fic in a while?

As for stamping comms, I think they're kind of pointless. You fill out an application, a bunch of people vote and you get a little graphic saying you've been "stamped" as whichever character. And then you're done. I suppose you could put your stamp in your lj profile.

If I were to be stamped, I'd try to rig it so I could be Professor Angelina Ginny McGonagall. That'd be awesome.

Sure, I'll read your Frangelina fic. :) Let me figure out how to send you my H/Hr one. I usually put it in my journal (backdated so no one really reads it, or friends-lock-it). Or I could just email it to you.

I kinda figured that about stamping comms, but I thought it might be "fun" (and also give me something to do ;) and create my own 'stamps' if I don't like theirs ;).

Your triple stamp would be quite an image :D

the animated movie just came out on DVD, along with P&P - but I just bought GOF, so my DVD budget is going to have to wait.

I'll try and post a few snippets from the novel in my LJ, but it is my favorite DWJ novel, as well as one of my top ten favorite books, period. I read it when I was in junior high and have carried it with me ever since.

It's just a perfectly done fantasy/action/comedy/drama with a great heroine and hero (?) and romance done sparingly but well. You just want to find out more about the main characters.

also, stampppppp?

Alright.

you created your own stamp????? God, is there anything you CAN'T do? ;)

I think I want to be calledinvain when I grow up. ;)

and is that a scene from the movie (the one they're walking in the background)? I don't remember seeing it in any screen caps at all. or is that another behind-the-scenes thing?

I can't do calculus.

It's from the "Creating the Yule Ball" featurette. The same one that has the Robert twirling Katie around clip.

ah...

well, I downloaded most of your clip/zips, so if it's in any of those, I'll check them out when I get home ;)

lumos_sorting is also quite good, I've heard.
I've never seen Bourne Identity. I usually love sci-fi movies but this one seemed boring.

my mind boggles with all the communities ;)

I thought Bourne Identity was more action than sci-fi. It's like those spy-flicks. Spies? Are they working for the 'good guys'? or are the 'bad guys' pretending to be 'good guys'? and what to do if you're a spy and lose your memory- who do you trust? etc. I'm still not in a "mood" to watch it... maybe because GoF just came out on dvd.

It is more action-y and spy-ish. I didn't think it was all that great -- in fact, I tried to watch it with my best friend three times before we stopped falling asleep during it. I can't even remember how it ends.

I saw it in the theaters and pretty much just for Karl Urban. I think this was fresh off my, "Why....he's quite attractive, isn't he? He's so much better looking as a brunet than a questionable blond Nordic warrior!"

Ridiculously handsome, that man - and not a word of dialogue in English. It was pretty awesome.

The plot was pretty easy to figure out within five minutes of viewing - Blah blah save the woman he loves, he's been made - but BY WHO? BY WHO? Explosions and violence occurs as Matt Damon takes on the entire CIA etc, etc.
