So, um. Does anyone know what happened to Project Download? Or why it's been deleted again? Or if Erin's okay?

Local news: Homewood park board orders skate park dismantled as conduct problems grow. "In the past three weeks, a teen has assaulted a police officer, and an officer has confiscated a firearm at the park." This is why we can't have nice things, you guys. : (

Damn, Helen Mirren! Shit.

Good news about the Watchmen ending.

BAD NEWS ABOUT MONSTER SQUAD. WTF STAY AWAY FROM MY CHILDHOOD.

I think the Terminator teaser is supposed to run with TDK, so I'll wait till Friday night to see it on the big screen.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm not watching it either.

My husband to this day exclaims "Wolfmans got nards!" from time to time.

I really hate all the recent raping of my childhood favorites.

So, what, they're saying it took the Joker 10 years to get his shit together and terrorize Gotham? And Bruce is taking his time rebuilding the Manor? LAME.

OTOH, the cameo-that-might-not-be totally pwns. Just alluding to it makes me happy.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the ten years thing kinda threw me. I thought it might be one year later, tops.

[ilanka.livejournal.com]

I. Love. Your. Icon.


"'Ello, Sue....I've got legs!........

It hasn't been ten years. That writer was so thoroughly on crack I can't even begin. Not that it has anything to do with anything since the character doesn't have a name and isn't intended to be anything but "Gordon's daughter", but Batgirl-Barbara isn't even Wife-Barbara's daughter - Wife-Barb and Baby James are Gordon's second time around after first wife and mother of Barbara refused to move from Chicago to Gotham with Jim (yeah, don't spend too much time thinking about a man marrying a woman with the same name as his daughter).

I personally liked "I wonder if Heath Ledger's performance will be as creepy as the studio's exploitation of it".

[elvensapphire.livejournal.com]

Miley makes no sense to me. O.o

I want Helen's abs. Damn, girl!!! She is fabulous.

[cassildra.livejournal.com]

I think Disney is actively trying to give her DID.

[flamingtoilet.livejournal.com]

DAMN indeed Helen Mirren.

[more-dragoncelt.livejournal.com]

Ach du Himmel, I LOVE YOUR ICON!!!

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

HOLY SHIT!!!!

I wanna look as good as Helen when I reach my sixties!!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I want to look as good as she does right now, damn.

[scarletsherlock.livejournal.com]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN indeed, Helen Mirren! I still maintain that if they ever cast a female Doctor Who...

Also, WTF Monster Squad remake?? I officially give up on Hollywood.

[kosher-jenny.livejournal.com]

AWESOME DOCTOR WOULD BE AWESOME

[trash-addict.livejournal.com]

Holy cow. Helen Mirren has better bikini body than me, and I'm 40 years her junior. *sniff*

Alas, all the Pope stuff is true. He's invading the suburb I work in in ...20 minutes.

[koritsimou.livejournal.com]

Dear sweet, sweet, nine pound, six ounce Baby Jeebus, plz plz plz allow me to be half as foxy as Helen Mirren when I am her age. I envy her her tiny waist an smoking, fantastic rack.

Amen.

Erin's journal is gone too.

I was going to drop the latest post in Project download a message(the april one), saying I was hoping she was okay. I got pulled away from my computer before I could do it though. That was yesterday or the day before, not sure which.

Alec paused after he said this for about 30 seconds to finish typing out a text message.

... He's being interviewed, talking about how he was nervous about meeting bigwigs, and he stops in the middle of an interview to text someone? I hate it when people do that.

[youngcurmudgeon.livejournal.com]

~Doctor Horrible joke~

He'd stop, but it was a very important text message.

[laddical.livejournal.com]

Looking at those HP promo thingies... did they somehow manage to handsome up Draco again? Boy was getting fug there in the last few. But he looks nice in the half shadow they have him in in the second pic, though DR looks like he's about to spew, which isn't helped by the green color scheme.

[the_rainbow_jen]

I'd say so. They played up his status as a toady in the last two, but he's more central to the story in HBP, and frankly, the actor's grown into himself a bit more. Has to help.

[pygmymetal.livejournal.com]

That Star Wars poster reminds me of Team America puppets.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

AN-A-KIIIIN
FUCK YEAH
COMIN' AGAIN TO SAVE THE MUTHAFUCKIN' DAY YEAH
AN-A-KIIIIN
FUCK YEAH
THE DARK SIDE IS THE ON-LY WAY YEAH

[laughingacademy.livejournal.com]

Whoa. If they ever decide to pair Daniel Craig with an older Bond girl, I know where my vote’s going.

[laddical.livejournal.com]

Or... you know... they wanna recast M for a few movies and play up a new kind of tension between them....

I SEEN IT!!

[cleojones.livejournal.com]

The BATMAN that is.

'Tis good (and loud!). Both Heath AND Aaron are great in it.

Re: I SEEN IT!!

[cleojones.livejournal.com]

Oh, here's the spoil-less review (http://dcmoviegirl.blogspot.com/2008/07/preview-dark-knight.html).

[wirrrn.livejournal.com]

Nooooo! Mo MONSTER SQUAD remake!!!

Although if it does go ahead? Leonardo Cimino (aka Scary German Guy) is *still alive and working*. I'm just sayin'...
