Just came back from watching 'Ocean 13'.

Heh, I wish I could say I just came back from watching Jensen in AFGM

It was pretty good! I enjoyed it and not only because Matt Damon's in it.

The beginning was pretty incomprehensible but I guess that's the trademark of all the Ocean's movies, the planning for the heist and stuff but you get what's going on pretty soon. Plenty of laughter, too. At one point I laughed so hard and long that my husband had to shush me!

Matt is WONDERFUL. God, he's great as the earnest and slightly bumbling Linus, a far, far cry from Jason Bourne, so mush so that it crossed my mind that they purposely made him that way. That scene when he was "seducing" Ellen Barkin was absolutely priceless. And oh, Barkin was great as Al Pacino's right hand woman.

Speaking of Al Pacino, I don't know, I thought he was rather blah as Bank. A bit disappointing because somehow I expected more from him. George Clooney and Brad Pitt were okay. Not a big fan of Clooney but I like Brad Pitt since 'Babel'.

I miss Julia Roberts. I do not miss Zeta-Jones, though.

Love Casey Affleck. I kept thinking of Ben whenever I saw him on screen. Gosh, it would be beyond awesome if Ben's in, say, 'Ocean 14'.

And I can't wait for 'Bourne Ultimatum'!

My best friend saw it yesterday and she told me it was very good like the first movie. I didn't like the second and that's why i was hesitating to see the new.
I wonder why Julia didn't appear

Ocean's 12 had its moments ( I love it when Bruce Willis made his appearance and I couldn't stop laughing when Linus met Matsui for the first time ) but I don't quite like Zeta-Jones so she kind of spoilt the story for me. I suppose Julia wasn't there because she wasn't needed for the storyline. Missed her though because she was one of the originals in Ocean's 11.

Well, I guess I have to go see it. I love Matt Damon, and Ellen Barkin is one of my favorite actresses, along with Glenn Close and Meryl Streep.

Oh Julia, Ellen Barkin was marvellous. You're going to love her scene with Matt Damon. And Casey Affleck was so cute playing the "Mexican" :DD

Hey! I haven't seen any of the 'Ocean's' movies, but I keep seeing ads for this one, and I'm tempted... severely tempted. I really like Matt Damon... he kinda reminds me of Joshie, although he's definitely his own guy... and even George Clooney seems to be growing on me, omg.

Hmmm. Might go to see it this weekend. Thanks for the rec!

*hugs you*

:D

If by any chance you can get hold of 'Ocean's 11' then go see it first. All three movies are stand-alones but some of the characters and storyline do have some connections with the other 2 and it might help you understand some of the characters better.

*hugs you*

*misses you much*

Mmmm. Matt Damon. I wish I had an icon to use...

Glad to know this movie was back up to par, though!


(I owe you other comments - sorry I'm so behind in replying!)

Matt/Ben is my long-standing RPS OTP :D

Oh, man. My Matt/Ben love came around so much earlier than my fanfic/RPS involvement. I hadn't even thought about truly slashing them. *facepalm*

Must... resist... new... obsession...

The funny thing is I don't really like Ben per se. Ben with Matt, yes, but not him on his own.

I read somewhere that Ang Lee thought of them initially as the gay cowboys :DDD

Oh gosh. Your icon cracked me up!

And in addition to that err, bell, I also heard that Jared is now wearing a ring :DD

Ha! Isn't it great? I spent the morning updating my icons, so I'm glad for the chance to use them!

I also heard that Jared is now wearing a ring

Really? What kind of ring?

Apparrently Jared was seen wearing a ring on his rt ring finger when he was at Jensen's play. It wasn't said what kind of a ring it was but some of the girls at one of the spn comms were speculating on why Jensen wasn't wearing the ring that he used to wear anymore so when Jared was suddenly seen wearing one ... the possibilites are endless :DDD

Just finished reading it. Guh. All those post-AHBL fics are just killing me.

"I'm gonna save you," Sam says. "I promise. I won't let you leave me."

Sam wouldn't last long without Dean, just as Dean must have his Sammy with him.

*sniffs*

Thanks, sweets. I love it.
