Tuesday night, meh

[cleolinda]

Until I get these annotations finished (please God SOON), I'm going to post only what I consider to be the ESSENTIAL linkspam--things that I personally geeked out over and/or felt were semi-important. I tend to geek out over pictures or trailers, so... that's largely what's going to make it through. Maybe some videos of polar bears. Who knows.

Even when Uma Thurman's stalker tries to explain his actions to his best advantage, he still comes off as completely crazycakes. I found this fascinating because Jordan's articulate enough to try to explain what he was thinking, and yet even his "innocent" explanations are still creepy.

A word that exists solely to be a word that doesn't exist. Heh.

MTV Movie Awards Nominees Announced, Extremely Relevant.

New Prince Caspian Photos.

The Twilight poster; 'Twilight' Trailer Shot By Shot. Could MTV be any more obsessed with this movie? No. No, it could not.

Harvey Dent with What One Might Almost Call a 'Second Face.' Something I discovered to my cost: do not read any interview with Aaron Eckhart, because he just blithely dropped a gigantic spoiler in the one I read. Granted, it's one you can see in the trailer, if you look really closely, but...

International X-Files Poster Online; hi-res stills, some old.

trailer_spot: Twilight, Love Guru, Fall, Strangers, Indiana Jones.

Mr. Owen, We're Sorry, But We Ran Out of Coffee (http://defamer.com/387461/mr-owen-were-sorry-but-we-ran-out-of-coffee).

The hilarious thing is that he always looks like that.

I feel like issuing a challenge...

FIND PHOTOS OF CLIVE OWEN SMILING!

[falco-conlon.livejournal.com]

and still so beautiful.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

"Quietly judging everyone," hee.

[falco-conlon.livejournal.com]

Wow...I have so many issues with how Jordan defended himself in that trial. Too. Much...entitlement. Can't, breathe.

[chris-walsh.livejournal.com]

And may I say: Thank you for that icon.

[cmdr-zoom.livejournal.com]

Maybe we should introduce him to SVA.

[sneaky-minx.livejournal.com]

I won't lie. I'm commenting to get some mileage out of one of my new TDK icons. Hey, it's semi-on-topic. *has no shame*

[christwise.livejournal.com]

I don't care how EMO it makes me, if there's burning gasoline/acid/other making it's way towards my face I'm going to scream.

I know, I know, I'm a big pansy.

Could MTV be any more obsessed with this movie? No. No, it could not.

New franchise potential. They want the attention of the target audience: tweenies and soccer moms.

[crumpeteer.livejournal.com]

and soccer moms

So. Creepy.

I'm waiting for the action figures. But really they won't have much action except to mope around and pine over Bella.

The word that doesn't exist: I've run into that with maps. Mapmakers will put nonexistent roads on their maps so they can copyright it. Before I knew that, I'd study maps, and I noticed two cul-de-sacs that didn't exist about a mile from where I lived. I actually called the mapmaking company to point that out. Ah, ignorant youth...

OMG I r spamming your linkspam.

This right here (http://storytubes.com/vote/hrt.php) is a contest for book review videos as done by children. Voting started this week and is done weekly in different categories. The weekly winner gets $500 in books and their sponsoring organization (school, library, homeschooling organization, etc) gets a grand worth of books.* This week's category is Hair-Raising Tales. I won't tell you who to vote for, of course--the important thing is to concentrate and then not die.

PS: I am afraid to watch the Twilight teaser. I luxuriated in eyerolling when I was reading it because O hai, Mr. and Miss Sue, but I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN.

*Remember, a tiny moist hand holding a book is a tiny moist hand not on your head!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Awesome, I'll post the link.

(The trailer is pretty short and mostly involves Robert Pattinson staring intensely in various directions. Although I did start laughing at the end. Waaaaaatch it, you know you want to!)

[crumpeteer.livejournal.com]

All right, Ben Barnes, that does it. Time for your and my shotgun wedding in Vegas. Hop to. Time's awastin'.

[elbeonore.livejournal.com]

I still can't get used to a hot Prince Caspian. Wasn't he a sort of weedy 12 year old, in the book? It makes me feel creepy.

Still, BB as Caspian is not half so weird as Ellen Page as Jane Eyre (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117985166.html?categoryid=13&cs=1).

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

What? Seriously? omg that is one of my favorite books don't screw it up OR ELSE

[theendofallthat.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED THAT SPOILER.

I hope he means Harvey just THINKS that happened, or I will be sad that they did that even though that character is useless.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I noticed it but assumed Batman would intervene somehow. You know, superheroes do that last-minute save kind of thing all the time. I'm inclined to think it's really going to happen, though, if only because [character] isn't one of the big comics characters, and if they got rid of [character], they could bring other [people] in.

But man, just when I think the movie couldn't get any darker...

[honorh.livejournal.com]

Wow. That Jordan guy is Speshul. Yeah, I'm thinkin' if some guy sent me a picture of the two of us walking across a razor blade near an open grave, I might be a little freaked out. This is not unreasonable.

[r-a-black.livejournal.com]

Poor Harvey, dude gets fucked up in this movie.

[amberdulen.livejournal.com]

The word that kills me is "ineffable." You can't describe something in words, so you use a word that means "cannot be described in words."

[barrelgoddess.livejournal.com]

That word will always make me think of Good Omens...

*more cheerleading for annotations*

I just saw Iron Man tonight, and DUUUUUDE. It was so spectacular. And RDJr. is H-O-T. Dave felt the same way about the climax fight as you did - it just wasn't quite right. I think I was waiting for RDJr. to kick ass in some unexpected way (like, you know, major new suit-toy!) but I still liked the fight.

P.S. We saw the trailers for Batman, Hulk, Indy...good stuff!

P.P.S. Speaking of Marvel heroes who are going to be in movies soon, have you ever read any Deadpool (who'll be in the Wolverine movie)? I think you'd really like the comic - he's hilarious and snarky (see icon). He has his own section in the memories at scans_daily. :)

[falco-conlon.livejournal.com]

Deadpool's gonna be in Wolverine? I hadn't heard that! Awwweesommeee. I want Deadpool's baaabieess

[kvschwartz.livejournal.com]

Your icon is a rival of my icon.

[derangeddarling.livejournal.com]

Unless I'm crazy, the Xfiles International link is wrong?

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Jack Jordan, a University of Chicago graduate turned drifter who lived in his car, was found guilty on Tuesday of stalking the actress Uma Thurman, the star of edgy, violent movies like “Kill Bill” and “Pulp Fiction.”

Okay, is it just me, or is there an element of "well, no wonder she got stalked" implied in that last bit?

Vampires, Vamps and VaVaVoom

[literain.livejournal.com]

Insofar as contemporary teen Vamp fiction goes, I'm with Vampire Avademy and School of Night all the way. At least they have characters I don't want to stake.

And for the vamporn, it's going to be Keri Arthurs. Her Riley Jenson character is awesome: Half Vampire, Half Werewolf and All Trouble.

Loves it.

Uh. Yeah. So I'm currently working on a paper focussing on the vampire as a means of queering the text and um... there'll be a symposium. So, y'know... Vamporn for Great Academia?
