Tuesday, blah

Just a few quick things:

From particle_person: Wikipedia's comprehensive list of April Fool's website gags.

News stories I would not trust further than I could throw them:

Cloverfield Sequel To Be Animated.

Tilda Swinton to Appear in Dawn Treader; Disney to Produce Direct-to-Video Caspian Spinoff.

How 'Watchmen' Should Have Been Cast.

BREAKING: Christian Bale and Brandon Routh Sign for 'Justice League!!!' (sigh).

News stories I am tolerably sure can be trusted:

Heaven Is Wonderful For AJ Michalka In Peter Jackson’s ‘Lovely Bones’ (previous confirmation).

The Joker's Worldwide Bowling Alley Treasure Hunt (we were told there would be a Dark Knight/Joker event on 4/1).

EXCLUSIVE: Final Poster for 'Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?' (it's a real movie).

Shekhar Kapur Helming 'Larklight' (multiple confirmations).

Brad Pitt Looking For 'Lost City of Z' (multiple confirmations).

Johnny Depp will not be appearing in condom ads. Woe.

I'm...kind of disappointed that Jadis will not really be in Caspian. Even though that would make no sense.

I can't tell if this story is real or not:

UK's first hybrid embryos created (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7323298.stm). Cow-human embryos, btw.

I don't actually know for sure that it's not true (unlike some of the stories, which admit the joke at the end). I'm just saying I don't trust it to be true.

1.) IF ONLY Routh and The Bale were in the Justice League movie. Damn.

2.) Watchmen casting? I totally expected Lolcats. Nice surprise! Especially Rorschach. ^_^

3.) Johnny, Johnny, why hast thou forsaken us?

Of COURSE Charlie Brown has to be the naked one. Will he never escape embarrassment?? Heh.

Ohhhh. ::wrings hands:: I am so torn about The Lovely Bones being made into a film. Usually I could care less when Hollywood takes on my favorite books, but I JUST fell in love with this novel and oh! Peter Jackson, please be kind to it.

It's real. It was on the news here yesterday, and not with any flying penguins or anything of that sort either. They interviewed a man whose daughter has muscular dystrophy. He spoke about his hopes that the research would help her in time.

Hey, I have a question totally unrelated to this post. Today in English class, we were reading "Hamlet" and we got to "To be or not to be..." and one of the lines from it was "Ay, there's the rub" and for some reason "Ay, there's the nub" kept popping into my head and I'm fairly certain it came from one of your m15m...do you know which one? Its been bothering me all day :0

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Huh... I actually don't remember ever using that line, and I can't find it in a search anywhere.

It comes from one of the iharthdarth comics. Or at least that's where I remember it from.
