Yay Mirrormask! The first review from Sundance is good, and the official site, I hear, is updating.

First look at Pocahontas in The New World! Who is... fourteen? And rolling around in the grass with Colin Farrell? Oh dear.

More Beowulf and Grendel pictures, in which things seem to actually be happening. They are starting to win even Vladimir over, which is impressive. (On the official site, there was also a behind-the-scenes picture of a brunette Sarah Polley wearing... something. I don't know. I just wanted to send her a hot oil treatment, stat.)

This is deep, man.

What the hell is going on in the comments of my journal?

I must find a job, otherwise, I will keep remember your stupid essay, stated that you were late, beacasue you were dated ugly Chinese woman, or you fucked ugly, ugly Indian girl in the office.
I'm sick of hearing these.
Oh, he had personal trainer at gym, beacause he was going to merry the UGLY Indian girl,
Oh, how wonderful.
Please give me the money back!


Aaaaand the rant meme going around, since there's no new Lost tonight:

1. Comment with almost any subject that you would like me to rant on, with possible definite swearing involved. Any subject - I don't even have to agree with it. [I am going to alter this to say NO POLITICS, because I like the current level of civility in my journal. Have me rant about the evils of cheese or Paris Hilton or something. Scratch that--cheese is a blessing unto us all. I can't rant about that.]

I'm also stealing Eso's caveat that she stole from Ces: Though if I can't make it funny I'll have to skip it, hence the "almost".

2. Watch my journal for your rant.

3. Post this in your own journal, so that you may rant for others.

My very own Cleo rant? This I can't miss.

Give me a rant on the most overrated (in your opinion) Academy Awards nominee. Can be an actor, director, or movie.

GO!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Ever, or this year?

[theatre-angel.livejournal.com]

Oh, Paris Hilton. Please. :-)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Done!

[jedilora.livejournal.com]

Ooh, rantage...

Hmm.

Celebrity culture?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's like 18 different rants right there. Can you narrow it down a little bit?

[robyn-ma.livejournal.com]

Cheese sculpted in the shape of Paris Hilton. :)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Can do!

[di0nne.livejournal.com]

Oooh! Please rant about ridiculous fashion trends. For example the recent tragic popularity of the poncho...

*screams*

[the_powerlines.livejournal.com]

I stand in defense of the poncho! They are ugly as all hell, but the warm knitty ones are often large enough to hide completely under, thereby making it the closest thing available for me to use as a blanket during study hall.

[kaytethinks.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the clique :P

[peloquyn.livejournal.com]

Please rant for me about "netspeak" - you know one of my least favorite things is the people who can't be bothered to type out "you" or those that use "El Oh El" (I can't even type it, it makes me that crazy).

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hee! I think I've actually ranted about that before on my own. Piece of cake. : )

[theonlykow.livejournal.com]

Rant on pornography! Negative stigma? Overtight conservatives? Does it have a place? Lonely housewive takes huuge cack?

[myrafur.livejournal.com]

May I have a rant?

I'd nut for you to rant about ...*fanfare*...

"The Myth of Credit" and/or the fact that you must own/use credit cards to *obtain* credit!

Whuhoooo! ...evil bastards.

[timba.livejournal.com]

oh. I've ranted on that before!

random: i find, if you are stuck in that position that utilites/apt. leases are a good place to start building credit.

Or, dept store CC's

:-D

[lafemmezilla.livejournal.com]

I love curse-laden rants! Public cell phone usage? Public displays of affection? Howabout general rudeness in public?

[soleta-nf.livejournal.com]

I'd like another rant about my favourite show Firefly getting cancelled (yes this is a few years old, but it's being made into a movie now!!). Thanks. :)

[shawnj.livejournal.com]

I can't wait for The New World. Even if the story sucks, it will be gorgeous (I'm a huge Terrence Mallick fan).

[laizeohbeets.livejournal.com]

Rant about Steve Kloves or something. Always makes for a good rant. ;D

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

The guy who writes the Harry Potter scripts? (Did he do the third one, too?)

Hmm...

[lizzyrose89.livejournal.com]

If you were my age and went to Secondary School here across the pond, I'd get you to do a rant on the bane of every 14-16-year-old's life: coursework.

However, you aren't so instead I choose... bad hair dye jobs.

Get ranting! :-)

[palmetto.livejournal.com]

I'd like to see a rant about people from the south not being taken seriously.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

*foams at the mouth just thinking about it*

[stepliana.livejournal.com]

She may roll around with Colin Firth, but she ends up marrying Christian Bale. LUCKY GIRL.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

WHAT? I HATE HER.

[haleiwatown.livejournal.com]

I read about that whole Colin/14yo binnis yesterday, and posted it in my personal LJ as well as in one of the Native American communities I belong to. There was a completely divided response on both fronts, and I still haven't really tossed my coin in either bucket. I think I'm going to have to see the film's final cut before I make up my mind.

Here's the link to the post I made at the Native American community. Lots of valid (and diverse) points were made regarding the film.

I don't have a rant for you, but lmfao @ the drama in your journal. What the sandy fuck was that about? Seriously?

And I'll probably be watching Lost tonight, just because I'm the type who likes to comb for hints and allegations I missed before I had the full scoop. The subtle stuff, I mean. Everyone (well, almost everyone) suspected/knew Snickerbitch was a little more than kin and less than kind.

[emilytarot.livejournal.com]

Oh, beloved linkspam... >Chews it up, recycles a bit<

Mmmm, if you're not already loaded down with ze rant, the tendency of actresses in movies and TV-shows to go to bed and sleep with and wake-up with BLOODY PERFECT MAKEUP. Even in the middle of the Jungle! Or Translyvania! would be one I'd love to hear. ^^

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I particularly liked how Anna Valerious died (from smush) with wet and raggedy hair but was sent to her final rest with perfect hot roller curls, myself. Also, I was looking at some LXG caps, and Mina's hair goes from wildly curly to stick straight over the course of a single fight scene. The turning point? Curly Mina is temporarily "killed" and wakes up with straightened hair two seconds later. Clearly, Death is the great hairdresser.

(This is not your actual rant, btw. I just needed to say that.)

[word-herder.livejournal.com]

Woah. I think I missed something. Is there a movie of Beowulf coming out in the near future? That would be...awesome.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Go back through the last couple of entries--there are actually TWO. That one's finished filming (in Iceland!), and the other one is in pre-production--with a Neil Gaiman script. : D

[http://users.livejournal.com/_stormthesea/]

Could you rant about May Day?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

May Day?

[thelovehater.livejournal.com]

Ooh ranting! A rant on an overrated / overhyped TV show would be nice. I'm curious to know which one's you dislike.

I was only 14 when I began my torrid five year affair with Burt Reynolds so I understand where this girl is coming from. In all seriousness though I don't understand why they had to get an actual 14 year old. They don't even cast actual teens in teen movies so I don't see why they would take a lovely teen girl and place her in the clutches of Colin Farrell. I wouldn't place a pet hamster in the clutches of Colin Farrell, a pet rock even. I actually enjoy his drunken crazy but placing hot teens near Colin Farrell seems like a recipe for disaster. It's like placing a zippo lighter on a stack of explosives, things are bound to blow up.

Clique...does this mean we get a special table in the caf all to ourselves?!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I will say that Colin does at least have some scruples--heard the famous story about Lindsay Lohan hitting on him like whoa in a studio lot and Colin saying, "Uh, come back when you're 18"? I don't know if it's true, but I like it.

As for the table, I guess so... hey, how's the thing going? You know, with the thing? Any sass yet?

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

May I request a rant on...

Computer speakers. Specifically, the cloth-covered ones (as opposed to the hard ones with little holes poked in the... hard stuff).

Yar.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Done!

[ter369.livejournal.com]

Rant? You are the least ranty person on my flist.

I look forward to your rants-by-request.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

For real, man. The one I wrote on Paris Hilton turned out more like in-character self-snark.

[pjrampolla.livejournal.com]

Could you rant about...

people who douse themselves in perfume, making other people with slight colds completely congested and watery-eyed messes?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

God, I got a headache just thinking about that. Ick.

A ranting, a ranting, we're going to get a ranting!

[wombatgirl.livejournal.com]

I saw a rant for the fate of Firefly (sigh) earlier, but how about a rant dealing with just the inability of TV studios to leave good shows on the air in favor of the crap they leave on?
