More rants; a little linkspam

Dominic Monaghan in Rolling Stone:
Monaghan knows the events in store for Charlie this season -- he wanted to make sure he could modulate his characterization properly -- but the cast is kept in the dark about the show's big mysteries. "It would be interesting for us to have dinner with a bunch of fans," he says. "They'd realize we talk about the same shit they do: Who's going to die next? What do you think the monster is? When are we going to cook the dog?"
This is not of the Lord, y'all. What happens if they add too many human cells and we end up with another Island of Dr. Moreau on our hands?
ETA: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Merchandise?
More rants while I take a break from Titanic:
For
"Hi, I'm Jennifer Aniston. Brad and I are apparently breaking up because I refused to bear his children, and I would just like to state for the record that yes, I know this makes me a terrible person. It is wrong and evil and nastybad to not want to spawn with a blindingly handsome
For
"Look, bitches. I was fucking Colin Farrell and Jared Leto through the mattress the whole time. I have no clue what you people are talking about, so shut it."
I actually have no problem with pornography in theory, particularly as more and more women are embracing it. I mean, in theory, it’s simply “sexually explicit material involving consenting adults.” My problem is more that a lot of the stuff in het male-oriented porn is so incredibly demeaning. (It’s a very old debate, and I won’t get into it here, but go spend an afternoon at True Porn Clerk Stories sometime.)
Now, what actually pisses me THE FUCK off is how much porn I get in my junkmail—particularly regarding some bitch named Christy who can apparently “cream” herself while simultaneously losing her virginity to “hung males” and being peed on by lesbians. I’M A GIRL. A STRAIGHT GIRL. GET OUT OF MY EMAIL, CHRISTY. AND FIND ME SOME HOT GUYS WHILE YOU’RE OUT.
P.S. While we're on the subject of unwanted messages: Look. I signed up for a text message whatever account because I cannot figure out how to text on my phone, and theoretically I can sit down at the keyboard and "email" a text to the Squishy. Except that the only time I wanted to do so, the service was down. So. Now that they've got hold of me, the service INSISTS on sending me "Blind Date 4U!" messages EVERY SINGLE BLESSED DAY between 4:30 and 5:30 pm. Hey, mikelikesthighs, guess what? I DON'T want to go on a date with you, plzdiekthnx.
For
These are shoes, right? Well, clearly, uh... the more expensive ones are better. That's why they're more expensive. Right...? Look, I don't know. Pretend you're Jennifer Jason Leigh in Single White Female. Which shoe do you like better for the purpose of improvised death?
Also for
"Hi, I'm Gretchen Mol. Remember me? The blonde who got the Vanity Fair cover story extolling my grace and beauty and immense talent-laden star appeal before anyone had even heard of me? Who was in that awful David E. Kelly chick lawyer show "Girls Club"? The one that lasted two weeks? Oh, come on! I was in Rounders! No bells? Yeah, I was afraid of that. That's okay. See, I've gotten a new agent, and he's got a great new game plan for me. Just for starters, I changed my name to Kate Bosworth two years ago. Things are already looking up."

Date: 2005-01-27 11:49 pm (UTC)Myself, I've always figured that if someone doesn't want kids, he or she has a very good reason for that. And that bugging them about it is just a different way of saying, 'please kick me very hard in the spleen. Thanks'.

But, then, I'm a sucker for Mad Science.

Hi, I'm Gretchen Mol. Remember me? The blonde who got the Vanity Fair cover story extolling my grace and beauty and immense talent-laden star appeal before anyone had even heard of me? The hell? I learned something today.
She's talented?!No wonder they changed the name. Where did the Bosworth come from? Yeesh.And since you ranted on fangirls not liking girlfriends/female costars because of, well, fangirling, I don't diss on Kate because of Orlando. They're kinda cute, but I don't think she's the most amazing actress ever. Same feeling I have about Emmy-I'm-all-that-Rossum. I don't care that she got to screen-kiss her fellow actors, she could have done a better acting job. On the other hand, I love Brad and Jennifer, together or separate. And, Evie and Dom are adorable!
K, I'm done now. I loff you for this stuff, girl!

And a-men on the Jennifer Aniston monologue, and the bit about unwanted porn in email-- myself, I'm sick of ads for Viagra. I'm 23. And *female*. Grar.

Date: 2005-01-28 01:06 am (UTC)Sometimes, if I take some time to sit back, look at the world and look at some of my favorite science fiction, I start to get very very nervous. But then I remember Avery Brooks saying "WHERE are my flying cars? I WAS PROMISED FLYING CARS!" in a car commercial a few years ago and crack up until I forget what I was worried about.

Date: 2005-01-28 12:44 am (UTC)I love TWOP, but I don't post there, either. Somehow, it seems to be a much bigger forum, and therefore the population is... less intelligent, let's say. If you can't write a decent sentence, on the other hand, you won't last long at FT. I track a few threads there--mostly I'm in the POTO thread these days, although I also keep an eye on Blind Items, Journals and Diaries, Dumb Quotes, and... what else... Fraudulent Books at the moment, IIRC.

Date: 2005-01-28 01:00 am (UTC)*snicker* Surprisingly, I wasn't even thinking of either of these actresses when I requested the rant, but it's *so true*. I really wanted to give Kate Bosworth a chance, but damn was she bad in Tad Hamilton (it does not always pay to be Topher Grace's bitch). I fear for the Superman movie.
Cloning/Combining Cells: Very scary.
And I just discovered the snarkiness that is FT. Where has this site been all my life?
