Pimp requests:

From kira002: "If you're still taking requests for posting things, would you give a mention to the Crusade for Charity? We're running a raffle with some pretty great prizes (signed Kingdom of Heaven poster; two of the bags that FOX gave out at the junket, and lots more); proceeds go to Doctors Without Borders, earmarked for their relief efforts in the Sudan."

From sapphires13: "I wonder if you've heard, ABC is showing Chamber of Secrets on May 7th, sprinkled in with the commercials will be sneak peeks at Goblet of Fire."

Help slacker1985 with character names for her book.

The 213 Things Skippy is No Longer Allowed to do in the Army

7. Not allowed to add “In accordance with the prophesy” to the end of answers I give to a question an officer asks me.
10. Not allowed to purchase anyone's soul on government time.
66. There is no “Anti-Mime” campaign in Bosnia.
73. No military functions are to be performed “Skyclad”.
116. Crucifying mice - bad idea.
155. Teaching Albanian children to taunt other soldiers is not nice.
164. There is no such thing as a were-virgin.
167. Not allowed to operate a business out of the barracks.
168. Especially not a pornographic movie studio.
169. Not even if they *are* “especially patriotic films”
179. On Army documents, my race is not “Other”.
180. Nor is it “Secretariat, in the third”.
200. My chain of command is not interested in why I “just happen” to have a kilt, an inflatable sheep, and a box of rubber bands in the back of my car.

Spinning wheels on Independence Day. Dammit. And I still have to watch The King and I for class tomorrow, too. Gladiator, however, is officially turned in and off my hands as of this past Friday.

Yey! I like the skyclad reference there. *dances skyclad*

I like #77:

"The MP checkpoint is not an Imperial Stormtrooper roadblock, so I should not tell them `You don't need to see my identification, these are not the droids you are looking for.'"

*MMMMM-WAH*

Thank you for the linkage. And congrats on fininshing Gladiator. Now, where is your ID4 icon? And please tell me you will be snarking the fact that it's called 'ID4'.

Wait, did you just now find Skippy's list?

What are you, new?

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

Dude, I saw the shots of Brandon Routh yesterday and FREAKED OUT. And then I showed them to my boyfriend, who in turn, FREAKED OUT.

I swear, it's like they cloned Christopher Reeve and just never told anybody. JESUS.

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

Man, Grand Theft Auto: Sin City could have been a good one, dammit! But the Amélie one was nice.

That Skippy thing is hilarious. I forget when I came across it, but it's good stuff.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

You know, it wasn't like I didn't know Brandon Routh could do a fine Christopher-Reeve-as-Clark-Kent, because when he got signed, they had Halloween pictures of him in that costume on his official website a while back that were freaky enough. But, that? WOW.

*spits water everywhere upong seeing "muggle city".*

i was away for part of the weekend and missed this. am trying to find the rules for big pimpin'. if you're still doing it...

i'm making a movie (http://www.pixievision.com) based on "tam lin" (http://www.tam-lin.org) and set in the 1920s. in order to raise money, i've put an excerpt from it (http://www.archive.org/movies/details-db.php?collection=opensource_movies&collectionid=unhappymedium) online, and if your readership wishes they can donate a few dollars. (of course, i'd also love for people to review the film at archive.org and link to it.) i hope to go into production this summer, so wish me luck. :)

if you're not pimping, i apologise and will go back into my hideyhole.

And I still have to watch The King and I for class tomorrow, too.

Hardly what I'd call an unpleasant experience. Then again, I am slightly obsessed with Yul Brynner.

[lezopez.livejournal.com]

My favorites were the gum:

33. Not allowed to chew gum at formation, unless I brought enough for everybody.

34. (Next day) Not allowed to chew gum at formation even if I *did* bring enough for everybody.

Hee! (And I feel like a loser. I had never read it before)

[shimmeryelf.livejournal.com]

"The 213 Things Skippy is No Longer Allowed to do in the Army" is amazing. I had seen it before and thought it was hilarious.

[pigsnicket.livejournal.com]

Ahhh! That Muggle City pictures kills me, KILLS ME!

[tundraeternal.livejournal.com]

Brandon Routh IS Clark Kent. Y'all, this is just freaky.

Holy son of a motherless goat! That is WEIRD!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Oh, I loved the gum too. I'd never seen it before, either--just today on SF for the first time.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love the movie. I just need to know where I can purchase an additional 12 hours for my day anyway.

[lylassandra.livejournal.com]

Showing Skippy's list to my 89-year-old, retired Navy Captain stepgrandfather would probably be a bad idea, huh?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Oooo, that's really cool. I actually have a character named Tam Lin in the fantasy thing I've been working on for years--it started off as being based on the ballad, but gradually drifted away from that. Still, it's one of those things I'm always interested in. : )

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Is that not FREAKISH?

Bosworth looks awful as Lois, though. Even though I am relieved they made her go brunette, because a blonde Lois is UNTHINKABLE.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, pretty much.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

You mean the icon on the entry?

(Actually, I loathe "ID4" so much that I can't even bring myself to mention it. The closest I got was the subheading, "Name Your Film After a Holiday, And It Will Be Televised Yearly Without Fail.")

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

It's incredibly freakish. But holy crap, it's freakish in the best way possible.

Here's just hoping he can act, because God know he's certainly got the look down PERFECTLY. *sigh* I miss Christopher Reeve now. And now I want the first movie.

I'm not surprised about Bosworth, though. Urgh. The only thing that makes me glad they picked her is when I picture Mischa Barton as the other option for Lois. (And yes, Lois is not a blonde. No, no, no.)

[vampychick.livejournal.com]

Ah. Carry on.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I wonder if he did the little hand-wave? Because it's the little hand-wave that makes it.

[elbiesee.livejournal.com]

I don't like the movie because they killed Harry Jimmy...

Have a lot of malicious fun with it.
