Linkspamorama:

Could this Sin City review BE any more spoilerific? Damn. (Seriously, do not click that link unless you literally want to be spoiled for the endings of the Marv/Goldie story, the Hartigan/Nancy story, and what the hell Creepy!Elijah Wood is doing in the movie at all. I was just expecting to hear, you know, "the directing/acting/cinematography is amazing/disappointing/whatever," not "and you'll really be blown away by THIS SCENE THAT YOU TOTALLY DIDN'T NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BEFOREHAND, THANKS." But I know some of y'all were looking for spoilers... so.)


M. Night Shyamalan's next movie:

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "Sixth Sense" helmer M. Night Shyamalan will write and direct his next film, the fantasy thriller "Lady in the Water," for Warner Bros. Pictures. "Water" centers on the superintendent of an apartment building who finds a rare type of sea nymph swimming in the apartment pool.

The only reason I'm intrigued is that... well, that's what they're telling you up front. I don't even want to know what else is going on.


It's... a long story.

aperrin2: We Bennets should gang up and control the internets!

allthelivesofme: Hmmmm.... *evil, deranged laughter*

aperrin2: We need an anthem. How about:

Mine eyes have seen the snarking of the terminally bored
They have spooged in all the forums (where the wanks of yore are stored)
They are soon to be enlightened by our literary sword
The Bennetts are marching on.

(Glory Glory etc.)

I have seen these petty pissants when they're wanking in the night
They hardly need a reason to pause and pick a fight
The Bennetts and the Joneses will shortly set 'em right
Cause their HEDS IS PASTED ON!

(YAY!)

Haha, that anthem cracks me up. Haha. And the word spooge never fails to make me giggle.

[gabsy.livejournal.com]

I like M. Night Shyamalan's movies. Even though every time I see one I end up asking myself: Whaaaaaaat? That's stupid!

example? Signs, that I will not spoil for others right now...

(oh and you are listening to a beautiful song)

[drewbeartx.livejournal.com]

Signs, that I will not spoil for others right now...

I KNOW! It had a wonderfully Hitchcockian sense of xenophobia, paranoia and increasing claustrophobia, RIGHT. UNTIL. THEN.

The problem I have with Shyamalan is that he's a great storyteller with a wonderful eye, who just can't write a decent ending. At all.

[arielchan.livejournal.com]

That song? Best thing EVAR

[reynardine.livejournal.com]

Bennets, Bennets, everywhere...am I the only one who got Jane Eyre? :-P

[edda.livejournal.com]

Me! Let's go marry ugly rich men!

[anne-jumps.livejournal.com]

rare type of sea nymph

Uh, yeah.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

As opposed to the common, garden-variety sea nymphs you see so often on vacation. You know.

[evilsource.livejournal.com]

That song? Priceless.

*am now ded from laff*

Come on. Someone had to mention it, if they haven't already.

"Water" centers on the superintendent of an apartment building who finds a rare type of sea nymph swimming in the apartment pool.

DENNIS: Listen, Strange women lying in ponds disturbing apartment superintendants is no basis for a movie. A good movie's power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony ripped from King Arthur!
SHYAMALAN: Be quiet!
DENNIS: Well you can't expect to make a good movie just 'cause some watery tart suddenly showed up in an apartment pool!
SHYAMALAN: Shut up!
DENNIS: I mean, if I went around sayin' I was a great movie director just because some moistened bint had flapped her fins seductively at me in a pool they'd put me away!
SHYAMALAN: Shut up! Will you shut up!
DENNIS: Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system.
SHYAMALAN: Shut up!
DENNIS: Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! HELP! HELP! I'm being repressed!
SHYAMALAN: Bloody critic!
DENNIS: Oh, what a give away. Did you hear that, did you hear
that, eh? That's what I'm on about -- did you see him repressing
me, you saw it didn't you?

Re: Come on. Someone had to mention it, if they haven't already.

[exiledprincess.livejournal.com]

HELP! HELP! I'm being repressed!

that so reminded me of the second episode of coupling.

"that's opressive, you can't say that!"

[robot-sarah.livejournal.com]

I'm so totally excited about the Sin City movie. I've read all of the books, and I guess the movie is made up of three (or four) of them or something. EEE! And Elijah is playing my favorite character from the first book. YAY!

Have you read them?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

No, but I want to--I'm going on an Amazon spree next time I get paid. : )

Bennets

[exiledprincess.livejournal.com]

heh, we should form a community. and discuss P&P, colin firth, and teh Cleo. and of course, the song would be in our userinfo.

Re: Bennets

[gabsy.livejournal.com]

I second that motion hehe!

[shesnotallthere.livejournal.com]

aperrin 2...you're my hero.

Now, who's going to design the flag?

[exiledprincess.livejournal.com]

i maintain that it should be the wet shirt.

[all-ephemera.livejournal.com]

"a rare type of sea nymph"

...cause there's a not-rare type of sea-nymph???

[thespianlizling.livejournal.com]

You betcha, babe. I've got one hanging in my tub right now. Well, I let it have some tuna, and I think we've got one of those if-you-give-a-mouse-a-cookie situations. Bitch now wants pearls.
I mean, if it were a RARE sea-nymph, I might be tempted to comply. But this common one? Pssht.

[sparkythehamstr.livejournal.com]

*dies laughing*

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

Okay, I admit it. When I first heard "Lady of the Water" I completely thought of the Lady of the Lake.

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

Really? I totally though

"Waaah? Shymalan is remaking Splash?"

Cleo, that song made my day!

aperrin2, accept our humble worship!

[allthelivesofme.livejournal.com]

That anthem soooo needs an icon. Or a set of them. LOL In the meantime, I might very well post it in my own journal with my quiz results. Because-- can't resist. :-D

And the Shyamalan movie? I'm all for the weird movies, but... o_O I'm not sure I even want to know on that one.

[squee1123.livejournal.com]

i'm going to have that anthem in my head for ever now....or at least the Glory Glory part of the original...

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

And the awful thing? Is that I now have it stuck in my head. Except it's all mixed up with the original, so I find myself thinking blasphemous stuff like:

Mine eyes have seen the snarking at the coming of the Lord
He has spooged in all the forums (where the Grapes of Wrath are stored)
...

[yuki-onna.livejournal.com]

Wait, there are common types of sea nymphs?

I have a friend who is gonna be pissed, as he's been working on a frighteningly similar script for years...

[skyblade.livejournal.com]

Perhaps it's the kind of nymph that likes M Night Shamylan movies. I hear those rare.

[yuki-onna.livejournal.com]

Also, I predict the sea nymph willreally be Jesus. It's where his films have been headed lately.

Jesus in a spangled two-piece with rubber arm-floaties and an iridescent tail...excellent.

[laizeohbeets.livejournal.com]

Well, hey. If Alan Rickman can play a seraphim and Alanis Morissette can be God, I'm not surprised at all at a spangled two-piece wearing Jesus. *snerk*

[ex-krazycat651.livejournal.com]

Meeep! Evil spoilers! *hides*
I couldn't be more eager to see Sin City, man. It's this season's ESotSM. Which was that season's LOTR 3, only not as much so.

Eh, why is Elijah Wood in all those films?
This is totally by accident. I'm not an EW fangirl. Really. For serious.

well, maybe a little Not at all!

[edda.livejournal.com]

You had me at Uranus...you had me at Uranus.

*fangirls*

[karintheswede]

anthem iconses, yes.

But, and this is a but of epic proportions, I really (after ten years of being an Austenfen) really, really do not understand the appeal of Colin Firth. Period. Especially in a wet shirt with strategic embroidery.

[exiledprincess.livejournal.com]

eh, to each her own. the reasons i like or don't like people tend not to have logical reasons, so i (usually) don't try to explain. or demand explanations.

and despite all evidence to the contrary, i'm not some insipid fangirl who only likes Austen because of the wet shirt. it was my favorite book years before i saw the movie, i promise!

[vladimirsever.livejournal.com]

I think I was about to get a score of 14, but then Sunny ate all my tiles.

[silent-sybil.livejournal.com]

I must see that Shyamalan movie.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Excellent use of related iconage. : )

[elbales]

Words cannot express how much those lyrics rock.

Wasn't that called "Splash"?

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

Psst.

OT, but...Pirates of the Carribean II apparently has cannibals in it. Also, a kraken. FUN!

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

Aaaaand, another OT:

Vladimir said you thought there was a lot wrong with the Narnia polystone - I was wondering what you noticed? (I'm having trouble seeing them well since the pics are so small!)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, my main problem was that the White Witch was BLONDE.
