Monday evening, a little frizzy

[cleolinda]

You know, it seems like lately I've found new ways to be tired every day. Today was my lovely three-hour Perm of Shame (see previous entry), which turned out wonderfully, although my hair is now up to my shoulders. But it'll grow out soon enough, and the brittle ends are gone gone gone, precious!

And then I came home and found the place a wreck. I had expected the puppies to have made a mess, but what I wasn't expecting was a dismembered pineapple and various smears of mango all over the kitchen. Sister Girl bought herself a juicer a week or two ago, and apparently she decided that this would be a wonderful day to play with it... and then vanish upstairs without so much as the wiping of a single counter. Yay.

This morning, though, I spent watching the Casino Royale DVD, ostensibly for the new book. I am, in fact, going to marry the opening credit sequence. We're going to run away to Vegas; the sequence has far too many relatives to make a big wedding anything but cost prohibitive.

Meanwhile, I think the way that this is supposed to work is that, once the new POTC3 trailer has been released (for real) (in English), you can come here and it'll start playing. You may have to refresh, I don't know. It'll also be airing during Dancing with the Stars on ABC (which starts at 7 pm, although I can almost guarantee you that they'll save the trailer for the end of the show, because I'm pretty sure umpteen million people aren't going to tune in just to see Heather Mills and her prosthetic leg), and trailer_spot will have the best quality download link up as soon as possible, I imagine. Sometimes it comes up as "invalid video URL," but I swear, I got it to work at one point.

The opening sequence to Casino Royale is one of the most beautiful credit sequences I've ever seen. And I've watched all of the Saul Bass ones from back in the day. I've never watched something and then told all of my design faculty at school about it, lol! ::nerd:: Dude, thefulcrum even made a kick-ass and completely spot-on LJ layout (http://community.livejournal.com/thefulcrum/5854.html) resembling the graphics. I used it for a while until I needed something a little lighter. ::clutches to bosom::

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, that layout's gorgeous.

[kosher-jenny.livejournal.com]

Woah, DO WANT indeed. I'll be downloading that! Thanks for the link.

I know--I just haven't been at my computer long enough to sit down and watch them.

[mustang-bex1126.livejournal.com]

Ah, I wish you and the opening sequence many happy years together, and an abundance of children. I'd like to offer to be a witness at the nuptials, I live in Reno, and can fly their on my miles. LoL I am dying for that movie... may pick it up tonight now that you've mentioned it.

What WHAT WHAT?! They're REMAKING DOLEMITE?!?!

Coconut oil!! Awesome for hair...ok I know it's the wrong post but there ya go. Also a stinky mixture of water and apple cidar vinegar works wonders. You pour it on and let it sit for as long as you can stand and rinse it off with cool water. The smell rinses out and it makes you hair so ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

[alliemolloy.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, tell me more about this apple cider vinegar/water thing! My poor hair is having a tough time this winter for some reason. Very dry and crazy frizzy sticking up all over the place. Is there a specific ratio? You're SURE the smell rinses out? I want to try this!!

...and then vanish upstairs without so much as the wiping of a single counter.

Are you sure we don't have the same sister?

I'm still patiently awaiting my Casino Royale DVD.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

The one complaint I have about the DVD (besides the fact that there is NO COMMENTARY) is that all these scenes that were so easy to follow on a giant screen in the theater are almost impossible to understand on a normal TV--the ones with major plot points on characters' cell phones. Maybe I need to sit closer or something.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I love how bleedin' retro that Casino Royale credit sequence is. No naked women silhouettes! Imagery that actually relates to the plot! And that title song is just so perfectly Bondian, I love it.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

You know, that's one of the things I loved most about it--that it wasn't about stupid slinky chick silhouettes. I mean, the silhouettes are okay and everything, but we've had more than our share of those. Sometimes girls watch Bond movies too, you know. There was a nice little moment where the queen card turned into Eva Green's face, but it turned into her face, you know?

The other thing I loved was that they used the melody of the Chris Cornell song throughout the movie score (and saved the classic Bond theme for the very end). I think Cornell wrote the lyrics and either David Arnold--the soundtrack composer--wrote the music or they collaborated, which may be why the song fits so well.

Indy IV Title Buzz: Indiana Jones and the City of Gods ?

NO! Bad George Lucas, baaaad.

Although, this is the first thing about the film that's made me go "ugh." It makes me think of Greek/Roman mythology, which I'm not terribly interested in.

[riverchild.livejournal.com]

I didn't get Greek/Roman from this at all, more like an Inca vibe. And a flashback to that City of God movie from a couple of years ago, incidentally. o.O

[riverchild.livejournal.com]

Where are you trying to embed the POTC trailer from? If it's a site LJ doesn't support, that would explain the Invalid Video URL. (List of supported services (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=268))

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

From the official Disney site. Stupid Disney site.

[syneblue.livejournal.com]

You're so much nicer than I am. The way I get my roommate to clean is to place the offensive item(s) in the middle of her keyboard...so Sister Girl, in my world, would have ended up with a pineapple head in her bed, Godfather-style.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

In my case, I wouldn't call it "niceness" so much as "cowardice."

[queenofattolia.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure umpteen million people aren't going to tune in just to see Heather Mills and her prosthetic leg

Nuh-uh. My sister's parting words to me tonight were "I have to get home in time to watch Heather Mills' leg fly off during Dancing With The Stars."

EEEE NEW RATTATOUE TRAILER. And the Casino Royale opening credits are indeed awesome.

PotC 3 trailer

[trailer-spot.livejournal.com]

PotC 3 trailer links are up (http://trailer-spot.livejournal.com/134931.html). Not as soon as possible, but as soon as I was (partially) awake. ;D

Re: PotC 3 trailer

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! I tried in vain to find the direct download link myself, and was sad.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

I read the Miyazaki title as Pony on a Cliff, and was momentarily deeply confused. I have now returned to my normal default moderate confusion.

There's a keen YouTube video of the new Casino Royale title sequence with the old Casino Royale theme tune, and it cracks my shit up.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hee! Link?

[lotusbiosm.livejournal.com]

I heard about the "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" case on NPR. I love that the kid got his suspension doubled when he quoted Thomas Jefferson at the principal.

[saturnianali8r.livejournal.com]

THe Pirates trailer got released Monday night on Yahoo movies. It looks like a really good movie.

[gravities.livejournal.com]

This may have already been said, but I think that umpteen million people will tune in to see Apolo Anton Ohno dance. I wish I had time to go survey the crazy for a posting at SF (they showed a sample crazy fan, weeping lightly as she thought of how lucky Apolo's professional partner was to be "in his arms").

I didn't know that the prequel was to be shown, though! I had to skip out for about 40 minutes of the DWTS broadcast to do other things and I guess I missed it. Phooey.

And a belated comment on Dooce's Exclamation Point -- didn't you just want to copy that picture of Chuck and send it in reply to the next person (or six) that irritated you? I was tempted. *g*

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hell, I want to post that picture on my door.

[hawleygriffen.livejournal.com]

Heeeeeee. Classic. Makes me look forward to the film more.

[lauramcvey.livejournal.com]

I think the people who did the Casino Royale opening sequels also did Catch Me If You Can. My Film teacher showed the latter to our class, they look a lot alike.
Also- animal rights activists have been arguing for the killing a baby polar bear. Interested? I thought you might be: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17703212/?GT1=9145

WHAT NO.

Interesting, comparing the pirates trailer

Gorgeous opening credits. It looks like the lovechild of the Catch Me If You Can opening credits and the A Series of Unfortunate Events end credits, which are two of my fave credit sequences, btw. I shall have to accept their baby as well if I want to maintain a healthy relationship with the two.
