Dear Sender of English Chocolate Bars: Thank you thank you thank you thank you I love you squee! That is all.


More fun for y'all: 99 Sin City bases/icons. Many of them are different versions of the same image, but still: a pretty good selection. If I missed someone you wanted, let me know and I'll dig through what I've got. Take/want/have, alter, animate 'em together, be creative, have a party (but no hotlinking).

General linkspam:

New pics from Batman Begins, Harry Potter, and Star Wars. (More Batman pics here.)

There is now actually an Wikipedia-style encyclopedia entry on "My hed iz pastede on yay" (complete with original photo manip!), in case you've ever wondered what it means. I like to give myself credit for helping popularize the phrase with the Crystalwank metaquotes I did on Journalfen... and then I get over myself.

Yeah, I bet Michael Jackson feels "ill." I would too, if I had a lot of time on my hands to contemplate what would happen to me in prison.

In similar news, Paul Shanley gets 12-15 years for the Catholic priest sex abuse scandal. Lawyers estimate that he'll last 12-15 minutes in general population before he gets shanked.

Because Starsky & Hutch did so well.

Dear Usher: STFU.

Johnny Depp frightens children as Wonka. NO, REALLY?

(Mmmmmmmmchocolate.)

Keira Knightley stars in a movie about a model-turned-bounty hunter that's based on a true story. Only problem is, the real Domino is a lesbian. And she doesn't like the film's "raunchy [heterosexual] sex scenes." In other news, advance ticket sales just shot up 1000%.

The Amazing Race's Jonathan and Victoria will be on a Dr. Phil special tonight. One can only hope that Phil beats him to death with his own bottle of hair gel. (Actually, I'd like to see Host Phil turn up to help out with that.)


Back to work it is! I wonder what reading I have due for tomorrow...

One can only wonder if he's playing Willie Wonka clean or dirty? The most terrifying thing I find aobut Mr. Depp is how very greasy his hair can become when left unwashed.

That's actually one fo the things I find most sexy.

I'm surprised that Michael Jackson didn't get an attack of the vapors before this. He can't delay the inevitable forever.

[palmetto.livejournal.com]

I think they should have a court-appointed physician check him over. If he's not really sick, hold him in contempt.

[Johnny Depp] invites us to his trailer to make us feel more comfortable with him."

...

... ...

... ... ...

Trying to decide between a joke in poor taste about how much more suited that would be if it was referring to Michael Jackson and single entendre about how he can make me more comfortable in his trailer any time.

*grins* But thanks as always for the updates!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's a little discomfiting to get two child-abuse trial stories and then read that line--I know *I* was weirded out.

We can but hope...

I read that as Paul STANLEY. Imagine my confusion as I sat wondering when the guy from KISS became a priest. Did he do services in the make-up? How could he get near the children with that make-up on? How could he get near the children WITHOUT the make-up on?

Laws, I'm thinking I need to start my day over.

ACK TONGUE MENTAL IMAGE BRAIN BLEACH HELP

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

Ooo yay for the "PASTEDE ON!" link! I've been wondering about that phrase... :-D

[laughingacademy.livejournal.com]

I can’t get that one to work; I keep getting the “not authorized” message.

[vivian-shaw.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the Batman link...I had to make this icon when I saw it. OMG TEH EMO.

[lizzyrose89.livejournal.com]

Hee that's fab!

[meredith-mae.livejournal.com]

I just posted a journal entry today of my five must-see movies between now and the end of the summer: Sin City, Kingdom of Heaven, Star Wars, Batman Begins and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I also spent a good deal of time looking at "spoilerish" stuff about SWIII.

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

Which English chocolate bars? I have only ever had two, but they were the best, most sugary chocolate coated things I have ever eaten.

You're kind of making me look forward to Sin City, and I've never read the comic. I know, I'm terrible. Someone, hate me.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Some Prestat and some Green & Black's--I assume they're English, since that's where the package seems to have come from. Never heard of either, but the one I tried was so good. : )

[stepliana.livejournal.com]

Ok first off, I want to rethank you for doing the crystalwank metaquotes and picking some of my quotes. Because yeah. And funnily enough, the link to the community leads to crystalwank, which I'd never heard of, and not crystalwank2004.

[greensounds.livejournal.com]

CRYSTALWANK!


I just have intense fondness for that. Also, 'twas where some character named 'Cleolinda' first blipped on my radar. aww. the memories!

[i-will.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the "hed iz pastede on yay" link! I'd seen the wank before, but this links to all kinds of good stuff. So checked her journal, which linked to her deviantArt gallery. It was all photography, but she had a picture of Sean Astin, which I looked at, which linked to a drawing (http://www.deviantart.com/view/9256611/) she did. Ok, that is probably definitely real. But then I looked at the rest of her gallery. We're supposed to believe that after that Sam drawing, she drew this (http://www.deviantart.com/view/15052502/) picture of Charlie? Very nicely Photoshopped, but definitely not a real drawing (check out how all angles in the hatching are exactly the same). And not only that, she has digital "paintings" up, too, like this one (http://www.deviantart.com/view/14238235/) of Billy Boyd. I must say, she has improved hiding her forgeries considerably since this sorry attempt (http://www.deviantart.com/view/13143821/) at doing "a portrait in oils or watercolors" of Galadriel.

Urk, sorry for venting in your journal, I just sort of feel personally affronted as an artist myself that I work so hard on real drawings and they get passed over at devART and she 'shops some photos and pretends to have drawn them and people are all like, "OMG U R SO TALENTED +FAV!!1!" I'm considering reporting her to the mods, but then again devART mods aren't the greatest....

OK I'll shut up now. :)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we had excellent fun during the wank itself actually hunting down the original photos and lining them up with the sketches using transparencies. She's really a very talented photoshopper and could probably do it professionally, if she'd just be honest about it and stop trying to pass it off as freehand art.

Re: Choccie bars

[lizzyrose89.livejournal.com]

Which chocolate bars did you get sent?

Bwahahahaha I can get Teh English Chocolate Bars of Death ALL THE TIME!

Re: Choccie bars

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Some Prestat and some Green & Black's--I've never heard of either brand before, but the one I tasted was gooooood.

Re: Domino

[ulicqel-droma.livejournal.com]

Ooooooh... Sin City icon goodness! Gimmiegimmiegimmie! ^^

On the subject of Domino: It was unclear to me in the IMDB article if this movie is based on the comic=book heroine rather than the real-life person I wasn't even aware existed until now. Was I mistaken in thinking, when I first heard about this movie that it was based on my favorite gun-toting white-makeup-wearing chick?

Re: Domino

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Nope, it's based on a real person.

[ambiguousreason.livejournal.com]

MY HAPPYNESS IZ PASTEDE ON YEY! Hahahaha.

Usher, this is why people don't like you. Get over yourself and your stupid CD.

Johnny Depp as Wonka frightens ME.

Oooh, way to make sure every male person in America sees the movie. Geez.

[ladyvoldything.livejournal.com]

heh, that priest is gonna get what's coming to him. Is it bad if I'm taking dancing lessons and arranging for his grave to be a small dance floor? *dances madly*

[kokopellinelli]

I have no intention of watching that Dr. Phil episode with Jonathan and Victoria, but if I was certain that the good Doctor would murder him on-screen, I would definitely tune in. My roomie loves Amazing Race, but every time we watched it we wound up screaming at the screen and talking about how much we wanted his body to be found in a shallow grave with teeth marks all over it.

[edda.livejournal.com]

*icon love*

dr. phil

[randomosity89.livejournal.com]

I'm watching that. Personally, I'd only like it if Dr. Phil forgot about the human mind and just got up and beat Jonathan with a chair...maybe Victoria, too.

[all-ephemera.livejournal.com]

Y'know, I think I'd be pretty annoyed if someone did a movie about my life and decided that I was, oh, say, blind instead of having glasses, just to sell more tickets.

[all-ephemera.livejournal.com]

Johnny Depp frightens children as Wonka. NO, REALLY?

You know what though, that's perfectly fine. I will be thrilled if all the children vacate the theaters so I can drool over watch Johnny all alone...

[dietcokebreak.livejournal.com]

Isn't Willy Wonka SUPPOSED to be scary? Or was I reading the wrong book??

Anyhow, have you seen the Sin City cover of the new Entertainment Weekly? Clive Owen is sporting some VERY. ODD. HAIR. The article about the film is excellent, despite some small spoilers.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think I linked to some scans of that over the weekend. Someone called it "boy band hair," which made me snort. I found the combination of bad hair and sneer-pout to be 1) really hot if 2) slightly gay. ; )

[vladimirsever.livejournal.com]

Hee, hee, hee. You so do help a Croat out in times of writerly blockage...

[elenbarathi.livejournal.com]

If a judge sentenced Paul Shanley or Michael Jackson to death by torture, that would be one thing. It's quite another to pretend that they're being sentenced to life imprisonment, when everybody knows perfectly well that it probably will be death by torture. Big fat screaming hypocrisy there, to let the prisoners do what the law will not do.

Also big fat screaming hypocrisy for people to gloat over torture and murder by prison inmates when the victim is some celebrity, but to expect protection from the same when its themselves or their loved ones facing a prison sentence. Either the Rule of Law means something, or it doesn't - either it's not acceptable for anyone to be beaten, raped or killed in prison, or it is acceptable. If it is, then that means acceptable for anyone - whether a 74-year-old child rapist, or your 18-year-old brother or son who got busted for marijuana possession.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I didn't say I approved of it. In fact, I think it's pretty terrible, the dangers that prisoners are exposed to. I just comment on things in the spirit of satire (http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/entry/satire), I guess.

[haleiwatown.livejournal.com]

Which baby are we gonna love?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

You know, I still have an awful need to photoshop a comma in there somehow.

[edda.livejournal.com]

Frankly, I think hot Keira lesbian sex would just about make tickets explode in people's hands, at least where the het male population is concerned (and maybe the closeted female population going in with the het males, because "oh, I don't really want to see it, I'm just going because it's his turn to pick the movie"). Lesbians! Guns! Models in skimpy clothing! Joe Bob Briggs (http://www.joebobbriggs.com/) would auction off body part for this, people!

The CystalWank-related links on Wikipedia are hysterical. I love how they can be academic and serious in tone about the silliest things.

Michael Jackson and said priest should be tied together and thrown out to sea in a leaky rowboat. And then filmed as reality TV. Dr. Phil could host, and then be tossed in the drink as well.

I'm still not over the sight of a sockless Mr. Ex-Melanie Griffith in a pink t-shirt and white linen suit with gold chains. And now they're bringing it back? Paging Carson Kressley...

Johnny should have shown up at the Grammys as Wonka, candied those awards, and shoved them up Usher's various orifices.
