Today's horoscope: You've never been short on creativity, have you? Or been shy about bringing up a new idea? You'll be even bolder about it now. The good news is that what you come up with over the next few days will border on genius. Don't go anywhere without paper and pencil -- and no matter how outrageous the idea seems, jot it down. You never know. This could be bigger than Chia Pets.

Oh God, my horoscope's been hitting the crack rock again.

Somewhere, the Squishy just fell over with glee. Weirdly, this means there are now two Beowulf movies in production. (Coming Soon doesn't have pictures from the latter, but I do! I do! And now you see why I want to go back into movie news--I've got all this minutiae at my fingertips.)

Is this indeed the best Sundance ever?

As for me, my throat hurts and my eye is twitching. C'est la vie.

By the way--I'm still trying to hunt down an American Idol bootleg of Kelly Clarkson singing "Think Twice"--it's probably a two minute clip at most, and not commercially available. I lost my copy in a computer crash--can anyone hook a sister up?

Don't get me wrong - I love a good thousand-year-old adventure as much as the next girl... but are we so short on movie ideas that we have TWO movies of the exact same story coming out? This is so weird.

For real, man. I think that somehow King Arthur has jumpstarted this trend of ultragritty "realistic" medieval drama. They're doing "Tristan and Isolde" with James Franco and what's-her-face from Underworld, too--Sophia Myles, that's the one.

My friend will be severely disappointed. she's an aspiring film maker and one of her big ideas was to make Beowulf into an epic production a la LOTR. She knew about the first movie, but apparantly it's just part of Beowulf. Sadly, unless she waits a good 30 eyars, it looks like she won't get the chance to play Peter Jackson.

Oooh!! Who knew they had Starbuck's back in Beowulf's day? Excellent. ^_^

BTW, Kingdom of Heaven looks amazing. As in "I must see on opening day" amazing. And Orlando looked so good in the trailer I didn't recognize him!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, I thought he kinda looked like a baby Aragorn, but yeah, I can't wait either. : )

Make sure you click the folders at the top for the actual stills--the actual pictures on that page are apparently just a very lovingly screencapped behind-the-scenes clip of some sort. : )

Beowulf in Fifteen Minutes would be priceless, you know. *grin*

Sophia Myles - was she the blond who hung from the ceiling with the 3rd grader braids in her hair?

[gravities.livejournal.com]

Ah, but nobody's doing Troilus and Cressida yet! Or is that the same story?

I say go hardcore, adapt *Chaucer's* Troilus and Criseyde. And have 'em speak Middle English. Aramaic is sooo 2004's ancient language.

[meredith-mae.livejournal.com]

Heh. Yeah. But I have a thing for Aragorn.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yup. I looked her up on the IMDB and apparently I'd seen her in a bunch of movies without realizing it. I'm kind of fond of her now, and following her around from movie to movie.

I wish I had more hours in the day, because I really want to do "Lemony Snicket" next, and then I found out that David Thewlis (HP) AND Billy Connolly (Snicket) AND Gerard Butler (POTO) are all in Timeline, so I would be, like, contractually obligated to do that one. It would be like the Movies in Fifteen Minutes All-Stars or something.

(I love Beowulf, man. I would so 15M that.)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Dude. You say that like I thought "baby Aragorn" was a bad thing. : )

[gravities.livejournal.com]

ETA: Peanut gallery sez it's all the same story, really. :) But it isn't. One's Arthur's Britian, the other's during the Trojan War.

[all-ephemera.livejournal.com]

David Thewlis is one of my new favorite actors.

What we need is to find a way to get you to be able to do 15M as a paying, for-real job so you don't have to do anything else unless you want to. I think a trust would work nicely. :)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm workin' on the 15M-as-paying-job thing. But any help locating a salary is appreciated. ; )

Ahdubuh -- Neil Gaiman -- Beowulf -- *is ded of glee*

(And continuing the Gaiman-y geek note: Mirrormask is premiering at Sundance! I'm not going to be there! But it's still gonna be COOL! *smily fuzzy face* Yaaaay.

(And now to bed.))

Do what Randy from s*p (somethingpositive.net) did. He challenged his readers to pay for a year of his salary and if they did it, he'd quit his day job and stay home & write comics full time. They did it! And you read a wider audience, I think, and have a rabid fandom!

[illmantrim.livejournal.com]

did you want audio or video on the clip?

[christigilly.livejournal.com]

Am downloading "Think twice" from BearShare now. Will check to make sure it's alright before I send it. Just shoot me an address!

Every week, my horoscope says the same thing, something along the lines of "you've been postponing decisions until now, but this week everything should become clear, enabling you to take decisive action by Friday." Every week, in every magazine. And y'know, I never do take decisive action.

Totally and utterly OT: but I know you're from B-ham so I thought I'd let you know that there will be FT-ers meeting for dinner/drinks at Surin West tomorrow night at 7:00.

We'll be holding a table for the "FT Group" so as not to sound too internet-dorky to the hostess staff. As far as I know right now it's me and donna wk...but britcom freak and Craftdiva had expressed interest, so hopefully fun and chile sauce will be had by all.

Sadly enough, we cannot rival the population of the New York meet-ups. But, dammit, we can at least drink as much to make up for it.

"Think Twice" clip: *is freakin' fantastic*

Just tell me where to send it (hee, *insert dirty pun here*).

[kauricat.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I would SO love to see you do Timeline in Fifteen Minutes!

omg....you used a different icon!

*calls hell to see if its frozen over*

I thought Joseph Campbell said that. ;)
