Sunday morning; someone ate my damn muffins

[cleolinda]

Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you: the POTC3 trailer, a full day early. Yes, it's dubbed into Russian. We can't have everything, now, can we? I do know that--the part where the monkey raises his hand? Jack's line immediately preceding is, "Didn't anyone save me just because they missed me?" Also, if you look very closely near the end, you will actually see what I think is Jack all barnacled up like the rest of Jones' crew (awww). For my money, though, the squee moment was the Jack-Davy duel. On the mast.

Also: More POTC3 pics.


Veronica Mars canceled? Or not, according to show creator Rob Thomas? Or really canceled, according to Tina Majorino's reps?

Pet deaths prompt recall of pet food. "Menu Foods did not immediately provide a full list of brand names and lot numbers covered by the recall, saying they would be posted on its Web site — http://www.menufoods.com/recall — early Saturday. Consumers with questions can call (866) 463-6738." What warms my heart is you can find a full list at I Can Has Cheezburger.

Emmy Reforms To Require More Than Fourteen Seconds Of Screentime For Awards Consideration: "A stunning reform movement sweeps the Academy of TV Arts & Sciences! Two new Emmy rules have been introduced: The Lost Rule, in which potential nominees must provide an up to 250 word essay describing what the hell their show is about to assist lazy Academy staffers in the nomination process, and The Ellen Burstyn Rule, requiring that actors must have appeared in at least 5 percent of a given program to be eligible for awards immortality." Okay, I thought they were kidding about the Lost thing. Turns out? They're not.

Becoming Jane pics.

Blanchett Joins Indy 4. Oh, DAMMIT. Now I have to see this! "With David Koepp's screenplay shrouded in secrecy, it is unclear what character Blanchett will play. But sources told the trade paper that the Oscar-winning actress has landed a starring role." Yeah, it better be.

Warner Bros. Reimagining Sherlock Holmes. I'm a huge Holmes fangirl--I discovered the stories in eighth grade--so... I'm just going to sit over here very quietly and hope for the best.

trailer_spot: Stardust, Ratatouille, Atonement, Sunshine. Meanwhile, Neil Gaiman: not entirely thrilled about the "trailer": "I just looked at it -- it's not an actual trailer, and it seems to be a bunch of shots cobbled together from unfinished CGI footage and has some Pirates of the Caribbean music on it, and I'm not sure who did it or for what, and it honestly isn't something I'd feel good about linking to and saying 'This is a Stardust Trailer'. So I won't. It should take you a second or two to find it with a google if you go looking for it. It's possible this might encourage Paramount to bring the real trailer out a week or two earlier than they were going to, but I believe the trailer will be out in the next three weeks anyway."

Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie doing Wuthering Heights what? Did I miss this one? Did I link about this and just forget? Because it's blowing my mind a little bit. Now, okay, I know y'all, and I know exactly what at least half of you are thinking: NO NO NO WRONG. I know, I know. But step back a moment, forget that they're American and probably too old, and just call a scene up into your mind--let's say, one after Heathcliff has come back home all scheming and bitter--and put Depp and Jolie into it. I'll wait here.

Yeah. I'm saying. It at least gives me the hope that whichever filmmakers realize that WH isn't a Great Love Story--it's a Great Hate Story of Completely Dysfunctional People, really, and you know neither one of them would get involved unless it had a serious dark edge to it.

For the win:

DEAR MARGO: I don't know if you've ever done this, but I was curious about your opinion of what another advice columnist wrote. The question came from a man whose fiancee was moving to his city. Since all his friends would become her friends, he was asking whether or not to make it known to his fiancee all the women he knows he has slept with. The columnist's suggestion was to gather all the women together with his intended and play a "game" in which he would ask them to guess what they think it is they all have in common. This would elicit numerous guesses, and then he would "reveal" the thing they had in common: him. Then he was pretty sure everyone would "chuckle." I was absolutely floored. What do you think of this advice?

---BOWLED OVER

DEAR BOWL: I think the columnist was a man.

padawansguide and I were looking at some stills from The Tudors, and she pointed out something that I was too dumb to pick up on: Jonathan Rhys Meyers' Henry VIII is surrounded by headless women. Hee.

Oh my god. The Sherlock Holmes thing makes me want to kill myself. Oh yes, by all means, play up his abilities in boxing and fencing. *headdesk*

[rorqual.livejournal.com]

I know! His Victorian stuffiness is part of what I loved about him! I am full of woe.

[slmader.livejournal.com]

Even in Russian it looks kickass.

I just had to clean my screen from looking at your icon while drinking OJ.

[kateshort.livejournal.com]

Ooooooooh, POTC3 trailer! Shiny! As my husband said, "Wait-- that's all from just ONE movie?"

And *squeee* at Wuthering Heights. That'll be infinitely interesting. Truly a movie of hate, right there...

[cabell.livejournal.com]

Wow, the guy they have doing Jack Sparrow's voice sounds SUPER sleazy. :p

[thegeneralerin.livejournal.com]

For some reason, most Russian male actors do.

NOOO! Carol, I love you lots, but you cant go against My favorites show!! But she has a right to so aww well.

Pirates 3, OOTP, and Sweeney Todd in all the same year.... I might have a stroke by August

The Mac/PC spoofs win. PCs rule!

"Do you need a lift over, or... . ...you gonna ride your unicycle?"

Hee!

[linz-lou.livejournal.com]

I read that about Johnny and Angelina doing Wuthering Heights last year. Since I never heard anything else about it, I just figured it was a rumor and that it would never come to fruition. My first thought is, "OMG NO WAY!" But, I love Johnny - he can totally make any movie cool (hello, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) - but, I really dislike Angelina. However, they both have a bit of an emo-vibe, so I think they could pull it off. This makes me want to go watch the 1992 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104181/) version. *skips off to pop it into DVD player*

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

That's totally my favorite version--not the best movie in the world as a whole, but I'm not sure anyone can really top Ralphcliff.

[teflon-heart.livejournal.com]

There really should be a top shelf that the classic books should sit on. Your movie idea must be -this- good to ride.

[sualocin.livejournal.com]

POTC3: Is that supposed to be Tia Dalma at the beginning? Because ... that was ssort of amusing.

His energy bill is $0.00.: If you get good enough at this (ie producing your own power) your meter can run backward and the power company will pay you. ^_^ It happens from time to time with people who own windmills.

heh @ the Tutors picture.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Oh, man. I want to get a windmill just to make the power company maybe, one day, pay me something.

And yeah, I know that Tia Dalma's in the trailer here and there--I'd have to go back and look at the beginning, but yeah, it's probably her.

[morganwolf.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the link to the pet food, LOL @ the Tudors pic, and also the PotC3 trailer in Russian is win.

Color me unsurprised that the Russians sprung the leak. Bootlegging whee!

Right then. *cracks knuckles, settles down to give translating skillz a good workout*

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

That's two leaks they--sprang?--technically--POTC3 *and* Stardust. Bootlegs for the win!

Warner Bros. Reimagining Sherlock Holmes. I'm a huge Holmes fangirl... I'm just going to sit over here very quietly and hope for the best.

Right there with you. I wish I knew more about the comic book that’s the basis of the proposed movie.

What I find amusing is how the articles keep referring to Holmes’s “Victorian stuffiness.” Um, have the reporters read any of Conan Doyle’s stories? Holmes is an outsider. He is an oddball. He is brilliant and contrary and weird as f-ck and that is why I love him.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think they're reading "stuffiness" as "in comparison to other, modern characters." Compared to HIS OWN CONTEMPORARIES, Holmes is a total trip.

[theatre-angel.livejournal.com]

Depp and Jolie are going to be HOT. Let us not lie.

Also, thanks for the McAvoy Fix for the day. ;-)

Cleo: Is the Pirate Queen Amidala icon you've been using the past couple days gackable or ForCleoOnly?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Not only is it gackable, I made a ton of variations. : )

[thegeneralerin.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to watch POTC3 in Russian at some point. Just for the lulz. Cuz that was way more entertaining than it should have been!

PoTC trailer translation

[xander77.livejournal.com]

For some reason, I presume this hasn't been posted yet, and people would like to know what's being said...


Tia:

What are you ready (willing) to do? What is EACH OF YOU willing to do?
Do you have the spirit (courage) [awakward phrasing here, might be the same in the original, or might be a translation glitch] to make the voyage to the edge of the world, the "Ghostly Coasts"? To bring back... the vailant Jack?

Jack:
And I thought you just missed me...

Barby:
Back in the day, pirates sailed the world's vast seas unhindered (freely). But this era is coming to an end.

Jack:
Why should I sail with you? Four of you tried to kill me already, and one of them managed to do so!

Davy (?):
Our enemies united, and have sworn to destroy us.

Beckett:
It (? - can't make out the word... possibly "in one"?) battle, you will die.


Captain Sao-Feng (Chow Yun-Fat): Pirate leaders of the world! Welcome to Singapure!

Barby: (middle of sentence)
MUST unite! There has never been such a gathering (there was no such gathering in our lifetimes)

Jack:
I owe money to every man here. :(

Lizzie:
We would never have worked out. :( :(

Jack:
You just keep saying that. :)

Beckett:
Destroy them all. (veeeeery languid tone)

All they have left, is to choose the place of their last stand.

Will:
Will you marry me?

Lizzie:
Not a good moment!

Beckett:
You're insane!

Jack:
None of this (or simply "this", lacking context) wouldn't have worked otherwise)

[ironclad1609.livejournal.com]

Hooray for russian dubbing! lol
*claps hands* Oy, this is gonna be good :D

What do you mean "Now I have to see Indy 4"?? You had to anyway! :P
But I love that one of my favorite actresses is in!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I don't know, I really wasn't looking forward to Indiana Jones and the Nursing Home of Doom.

[ellaafleck.livejournal.com]

Noooooo Wuthering Heights movie. I'm so torn about seeing it? But not for why you'd think. I love Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp. I HATE Wuthering Heights and I have since I was forced to read it in 10th grade. Boo.

[bigeyedrabbit.livejournal.com]

A longtime Holmes fangirl myself, I've witnessed enough downright wrong re-imaginings of Holmes that nothing Warner Bros. does could possibly hurt me.

Then again, maybe I'm just acting tough to hide my fear. ;)

[mercat.livejournal.com]

I don't know Blanchett well enough to know what to think about her in Indy 4... heh... just hope she's good! =)

[maedinn.livejournal.com]

As of writing this comment, the Russian vids have been taken down. And I wasn't able to take screencaps!

*sob*

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Have no fear! I just linked to screen caps in the new entry. Also, the real thing is coming out tomorrow night (ABC, primetime, then online), so you don't have long to wait.

[cindyg.livejournal.com]

Being a Watson fangirl myself...if they do anything to make the good doctor a bumbling fool, I will breathe fire.

Good grief, the man is a war veteran, has an eye for the ladies, was a husband twice- (three?) times over, and Holmes himself had enough respect for his medical skills that he never allowed Watson to come near him in the Case of the Dying Detective. He took a bullet for the detective, and...ok, I'll stop now.

They better do right by the this, is all I'm saying.

[elisa0984.livejournal.com]

I thought the continuity was odd there. What happened to the first wife?

[elsajeni.livejournal.com]

HOLY CRAP WUTHERING HEIGHTS WHAT. THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE NEWS I HAVE EVER HEARD.

[flameow.livejournal.com]

I am so very excited for the movie. Can't wait 2 months. I think I must've screamed and swore loud enough to scare my neighbor's kids when I saw that Jack vs. Davy Jones duel. That will be the highlight of my life.
