It's a "Things Holly's Loving Right Now" post!

--The casting of Tom Hardy as Bane and Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle in the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises: Okay, the fact that BANE will be in the next Batman film already has me psyched up beyond belief!!

And people need to quit bitching about Anne Hathaway. I've never really had a problem with her, and Christopher Nolan is known for unconventional casting (hey, at least he didn't go with the very obvious Megan Fox or Angelina Jolie). And it's never really stated that she will be Catwoman in the casting, so it's possible her role as Catwoman will be downplayed like how Aaron Eckhart was being pushed mainly as Harvey Dent and no real mention of him as Two-Face was brought up.

And let's not forget how slightly disappointed I was when I saw Heath Ledger in that half-assed Joker makeup. Have faith, my friends.

--Everyone here will probably kill me for saying this, but I am really, really digging that new Britney Spears single!!

I haven't been this excited for something from Britney Spears for a LONG time. Now I can't wait for the music video. (I'm loving the bass and the dubstep!)

--Kiss My Face Peaches and Creme Ultra Moisturizer. Someone listed this as a recommendation over at the

beauty101 community. Actually, one of the first recommendations was this stuff from Lush, but I checked the price of that and was all, "NOPE. Out of my price range." But we actually sell this Kiss My Face stuff at my job. A 16 fl. oz. bottle was a little over $10, and a bit pricey, but it's a big bottle. I've been using it for a week, and I'm already noticing a difference. My red spots from leftover zits are fading! YAY!

--Bath and Body Works' new tropical bodycare range. LOVING IT LIKE A FAT KID LOVES CAKE. And apparently, a lot of people I work with love how the Hawaii Coconut smells, too! Natasha said it reminds her of her vacation to Mexico, and Derek said it smells like one of the girls' fragrances at Hollister. Which he likes because I guess his girlfriend wears stuff like that. :) Next paycheck, I'm probably going to go back and stock up because HELLZ YEAH!! (The Bali Mango smells absolutely delicious, too!)

--The Last Exorcism. Kevin and I rented this last week and we really liked it!
I don't get why people were bitching about the ending. Yeah, it ended rather abruptly, but it was kind of like The Blair Witch Project in that respect, but pulled off better.

I think it was kind of obvious. The reverend was obviously a charlatan who didn't know how to do a proper exorcism because he didn't really believe in demons. When it turned out that Nell hadn't been exorcised, it came and bit him and his crew back in the ass. The Fundamentalist dad pulled her out of the Sunday Bible school because he knew they were practicing some sort of satanism (which was why the Sunday Bible school minister and his fat lady church assistant were birthing the demon at the end with Nell's father blindfolded and tied up).

Like I said, very well pulled off. If you're looking for a good horror movie, and if you missed it in theaters, I recommend it.
