Yes! Let there be a Tintin movie! The world does not have enough racist, sexist, pupil-less cartoons with puppy sidekicks!

My low blood sugar, let me show you it.

[swordmage.livejournal.com]

Tintin is underrated. I will be a happy person if all comes to pass...

And to cleolinda, Twilight should come with a warning about brain damage. The other half informed me today that he stumbled across several communities devoted to the subject, including fanfiction. When I pressed for details, he got a glazed look in his eyes and just kept repeating it was painful.

[glass-radical.livejournal.com]

I COULD BE A WISE-CRACKING ROBOT WITH MIKE NELSON?!?

WHY AM I SPENDING MONEY ON COLLEGE.

[sabra-n.livejournal.com]

I look forward to the Dragonball movie consisting of 80 minutes of guys with spiky anime hair grunting and threatening each other, followed by 1 minute of bright lights and then 5 minutes of lots of dust clouds obscuring everything while a voiceover guy says that this totally amazing fight will continue in the next movie.

Not that I had to see to episode after episode of that crap while babysitting or anything.

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

It's going to make millions, isn't it?

[arainymist.livejournal.com]

Yay Maggie Grace!

I miss Snicker Bitch *tear*

[brainchild129.livejournal.com]

Seriously, if you ever desire a collaborator, I AM YOUR WOMAN. I'm actually working on a iRiff of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I don't know if I'll get the balls (and the spare cash) to get the necessary equipment/software to put it together, but I have a dream.

Also, PLZ TO BE DOING BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA PLZ.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Heeeee to both of those.

Uh... what kind of cash and/or equipment is necessary? I didn't... I didn't look into that.

[keenai.livejournal.com]

...Kevin Covais? Seriously?

[thyroyalmajesty.livejournal.com]

Please do sell out! I love you, and I love MST3K, and I am not talented enough to do it myself, so please consider it a personal favor to bring much enjoyment to me and your other fans.

[cosmob.livejournal.com]

I will see this comment and raise it a "And I'll buy it for myself and my friends, which isn't a ton, to be sure, but I will buy it multiple times."

Spippo's one of the scary talented pony folks, right up there with Aikarin and her Borg ponies (http://borgpony.deviantart.com/gallery/).

[theelusiven.livejournal.com]

From someone else who's located in Alabama, seriously, oy with the rain already. I feel like I've moved to Seattle, but without all the attendant hipsterism.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I know, dude. If we're going to put up with this, I at least want some ridiculously hot sparklepires in exchange.

[awanderingbard.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing a Spielberg version of Tintin would include less cannibalism and exploding heads than a Jackson version.

"Eureka! Ces têtes tranché doivent être une indice! Allons au temple, Milou. Ils me donnent le wig.

[sneaky-minx.livejournal.com]

Okay, if you do not get hired for MST3000 I will lose all faith in that institution! *sends good luck vibes*

Seriously, though, Joker will cut a bitch if you don't get it!

[girlthethird.livejournal.com]

Totally OT but that icon cracks me up everytime I see it. Joker + Miracle Max = hilarity.

[maliekai.livejournal.com]

Shirley Manson is the shit.

[sailorsilver.livejournal.com]

This has nothing to do with anything you've linked today, but I've been wanting to ask you just the same: I know you have linked the Tonner dolls in the past, but have you come across any movie merchandising site that makes working replicas of the PoTC Calypso/Davy Jones music box?

Heck, it doesn't even have to have the box, if you know of a site that makes the mechanisms and a handcrank, I'd be happy.

Thank you!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

http://www.noblecollection.com/catalog/catalog.cfm?catid=54

It's not there, but keep an eye on that page--they tend to have fairly decent collectibles. I'll see what I can find--I don't know anything about music box mechanics, unfortunately.

(Funny you should mention the Tonner dolls, because I just found out they're going to make a Tia Dalma.)

[edda.livejournal.com]

If you put in for MST3K and they don't hire you, THERE IS NO GOD.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, it sounds like they're doing a user-created content thing where anyone "good enough" can sell their iRiffs. It's not really a matter of being hired, although if you're really good, they might do one with you.

[sneakypixie.livejournal.com]

I don't tend to comment on the LJ's I shamelessly stalk, however...

As a hapless Starbucks' employee I'd just like to say, "son of a bitch." That is just one more machine we have to clean, stock, learn how to use, etc. You know each store is going to have one jackass who demands their coffee be made from the Clover. And you know that jackass is going to be pissed each time it takes more than 30 seconds to get his extra-special, extra-expensive cup o'joe at 6:00am because we have to drag that machine out of the back room, set it up, and figure out which button turns the damn thing on. And this says nothing about actually having the extra-special coffee in stock when the one jackass comes a calling.

Just thought I'd get that out.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I just keep imagining it as shaped like the Cloverfield monster. You know, "Clover."

[mustang-bex1126.livejournal.com]

Suddenly I am very disappointed that I didn't receive any my little ponies for my (25th) birthday... even if they *aren't* as cool as those...

[chaosmonkey.livejournal.com]

Wow... So much joy in this post! Though it could be abridged...

I think that Woody Harrelson's zombie-fightin' partner should be Scott Pilgrim!

Oooooo...! Faun Pony! *want to hug*

[wirrrn.livejournal.com]

I seem to be one of the few people on this planet who actually liked the original CHILDREN OF THE CORN. How can you not love Linda Hamilton crucified on a corn-cross whilst Peter Horton plays whack-a-mole with a satanic gopher-monster and Courtney Gaines runs around a deserted town yelling "Outlander! We have your woman!"- it even has a few moments that are less camp and more unsettling. Corn is creepy...

Plus the second sequel, CHILDREN OF THE CORN III: URBAN HARVEST has an early appearance by Buffy's Nicholas Brendon, whilst the third sequel, CHILDREN OF THE CORN IV: THE GATHERING has Naomi Watts and actually manages to be genuinely terrifying

Can I just say that this:'Twilight' Star's Hairy Chest Frightens The Tweens (http://defamer.com/5024430/twilight-stars-hairy-chest-frightens-the-tweens-as-alan-ball-preps-hotter-cooler-vampire-series) is the best title for an article ever?

Cos it is.

Oh my god, MST3K tryouts and old-school Married to the Sea in one post? My day, she is made.

Terrorism Thriller 'Traitor' is from a Story by ... Steve Martin?

Ok, that's pretty cool.

[batmaz.livejournal.com]

'Shut up Meg.'

[bluebren.livejournal.com]

Okay, since I saw you do it, I'll ask, because it's been bugging me: Who exactly originated saying "...I ask/say to myself, 'Self, ...'"?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

You know, I have no idea. I just thought of it as one of those general expressions floating about.

[batmaz.livejournal.com]

So much amazing WTF-ery in this linkspam. Like

JIM CARREY AND EWAN MCGREGOR KISSING? I'm scared because it turned me on a little.

And an Alice in Wonderland adaptation set in Sunderland? SUNDERLAND? Oh dear. Oh dear, dear.

And the headline: "Robot Slaughter Is Disney's Desperate Bid For Male Eyeballs" reads as though Walt Disney's cryogenically frozen body has been encased in a mechanised suit and has gone on the rampage for organs so that he can be fully revived. At least, that's the image in my head.

[shoepixie.livejournal.com]

And that image, by the by, is deep fried awesome all over the place.

Anyhow, The whole story went down in Sunderland; I mean, it's a bit hard to pull the Alice story away from Sunderland, isn't it?

....terrifying/depressing as that is...

[padparadscha.livejournal.com]

That's actually the SECOND My Little Alien I've seen. For some reason I've been loving the pony smile on this one (http://eruna.deviantart.com/art/My-Little-Xenomorph-Dark-Star-66290104).

And d'aww My Little Joker!
