The second most exciting was when the cat clawed me

[cleolinda]

HEY YOU GUYS THEY ARE NOW SELLING BPAL AT THE WHOLE FOODS IN BIRMINGHAM!

This is the most exciting thing that has happened all day.

Linkspam!

Clay Aiken Out in People Magazine: Full Scans, for those Claymates claiming that his evil twin is responsible (Rocked By Public Outing, A Shell-Shocked ClayNation Responds); Simon Cowell: "Wow, that's a shock. It's like being told Santa Claus isn't real--unbelievable." Heh.

'Do Not Disturb' creators: Sorry our sitcom sucked.

Anna Paquin dating 'True Blood' co-star Stephen Moyer. There is a little tinhatty part of me I wasn't even previously aware of that is filled with glee. There is another part of me that is... not looking forward to the overly explicit (IT'S NOT TV! IT'S HBO!) sex scene that will surely happen at some point in the future. Because... awkward, y'all. The show is already so porny that I spent the entire Jason-Dawn sex scene (I know, I know. "Which one?" The really athletic one in the second episode) trying to figure out how they managed to block it so that no one's bits were actually shown while he was throwing her around the room. Also: THAT WAS LYNN COLLINS? PORTIA, I AM SCANDALIZED.

(I am also a huge fan now after her big scene in the third episode, which I just caught up on this afternoon. >>"GET OUTTA MY HOUSE, YOU LIMPDICK MOTHERFUCKER!" *BANG BANG*<<)

(I really need to accept my fate and knock out a couple of recaps, don't I?)

Why Has Heroes Failed To Save NBC? One suggestion: "Maybe they just had an hour to fill before the show properly started, but I can't have been the only person completely turned off by the masturbatory 'countdown' to the third season premiere." Which had red carpet arrivals, by the way. I can confirm their hypothesis with anecdotal evidence, because my mother is a Heroes fan, and even she said, "Well, they think highly of themselves," and changed the channel until the show itself came on.

‘High School Musical’ Star KayCee Stroh, Kurt Loder & More Ring In Harry’s B-Day With ‘Potter’ Reading; Celebs Weigh In As Harry Potter Fans; New UK Slim- Line HBP Calendar Scans; New HBP calendar scans; New Remus/Tonks pics (excuse me while I go sob a little bit); Harry Potter Display at National Library of Medicine; Emma Watson, Dan Radcliffe and Robert Pattinson are Hot.

By the way, the Harry Potter Lexicon is back.

It's Official: Depp is the Mad Hatter in Burton's 'Wonderland'; pics: Alice in Wonderland Set (Cornwall) ("The security guards said that Johnny was in the film but only in CGI form." Huh). So it is really, definitely happening.

'Twilight' Stars Kristen Stewart, Nikki Reed, Taylor Lautner Get Cagey About Reshoots; New Twilight pic of, I am assuming, the Cullens at the hospital after the Death Van incident ("Oh, Edward. Shine on, you prissy diamond"). Of course, since Rosalie is there, it could be the hospital scene at the end, or a different scene they added, for that matter, since they seem to have done a good bit of that otherwise 90% of the movie would have no one but Bella and Edward in it. Also: still not over Blond Peter Facinelli. It's just wrong.

Entertainment Weekly just dumped a ton of reviews into my RSS feed reader: Battle in Seattle, Blindness, A Thousand Years of Good Prayers, Slacker Uprising, Forever Strong, The Lucky Ones, Miracle at St. Anna, Nights in Rodanthe, Choke, Eagle Eye.

‘Blackbeard’ To Give Epic Treatment To World’s Most Famous Pirate, Will Feature Cat-And-Mouse Struggle:

Producer Barry Josephson (”Men In Black,” “Enchanted”) is banking on exactly that, hoping his upcoming “Blackbeard” does for pirate pictures what “Gladiator” did for sword and sandal epics: namely, bring it out of caricature and parody and back into being a serious genre. It certainly won’t hurt having David Franzoni, the screenwriter behind “Gladiator” and “Amistad,” penning his script as well.

Will Kirk Cameron Be The Surprise King of The Box Office This Weekend? It's "No. 1 in advance sales on movie ticketing site Fandango.com with 31% of this week's business." You know, I started to wonder last night if Fireproof might actually do really well, even though it looks like it was made on a budget of $2.99, if only because there's nothing out right now and churches might get behind it the way they have with other religious-themed movies.

AHH LUCKY! BPAL needs to come to Philly for reals.


But then I would never spend money on food, clothing or education. Decisions

[blackdiamants.livejournal.com]

DDD: I wish they'd sell BPAL here! I just went to my local Irish/Pagan shop today that usually sells hand mixed original perfume oils and they WERE GONE. I've been going there for years and they just vanished. ;_;

[all-ephemera.livejournal.com]

If BPAL would come to MA I would be happy. Closest so far is Vermont, which, not so much.

Also, yes, Cleo. Accept your fate. WE CRAVE BLOOD RECAPS!

[laurelin-kit.livejournal.com]

Oh my God, tomorrow I'm driving to my Whole Foods and looking for BPAL.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Be warned, they sent out an email to the effect that it was specifically the Whole Foods in Birmingham, and another non-Whole Foods location somewhere else. I mean, you can check, but don't go too far out of your way.

[macbethchild.livejournal.com]

Ha, I love how the only comments so far have been BPAL worshipping.

That said... I was SO thrilled when they started using Whole Foods to sell BPAL. The Upper Hembree Whole Foods in Roswell, GA, where they originally launched BPAL, is about twenty minutes from my parents' house. Every time I have the car to myself and an extra few bucks, I go buy BPAL. It is a dangerous thing to have it right there, man.

Re: Paquin and Moyer, I hope he's a better lover than he is an actor, because, wooden.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

wooden

too many jokes, send help

[elina.livejournal.com]

(I really need to accept my fate and knock out a couple of recaps, don't I?)

YES. YES YOU DO.

I love this show so much for all its campy, sexy, fangy, bloody glory. I was just informed of Paquin's and Moyers' apparent relationship last night, and I made noises that had dogs howling miles away. THEY ARE SO SEXY TOGETHER, OMG.

[elina.livejournal.com]

Also, apparently Lynn Collins is married to Steven Strait, who played the (literally) hot hot hot bad boy in Sky High. They are a match made in sexy heaven.

[moogleybacon.livejournal.com]

Did no one else realize just how drunk Hayden Panettiere was at the red-carpet premiere? It was ridiculous. Stop giving her alcohol before important events, Milo.

"It's Official: Depp is the Mad Hatter in Burton's 'Wonderland'"

Huh. Can't say I'm surprised. And hey, whatever happened to the American McGee's Alice movie that was supposedly coming out last July? I wanted to see it. D: That game was so bad ass.

[blackdiamants.livejournal.com]

Oh, Milo. You make me sad. DDD:
Also, just started playing Alice again the other day. The Duchess is a BITCH, jesus!

[blackdiamants.livejournal.com]

Quick note on True Blood: SO MUCH LULZ FOR SHREVEPORTIANS. I love how all of Louisiana is automatically voo doo vampire swamp country to Hollywood. They actually film here in town, too, but I've never seen signs for it like they put up for movies.
- ACCENTS. WTF. At least there is a good Cajun amongst them.
- I have a friend who is exactly like Lafayette
- Cher is "sheh-ah" not "share." Thank you. I will end my rant about discrepancies there.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I didn't know the correct Louisianian way to say "cher," but I had a feeling it wasn't the way the guy playing Sam was saying it.

The accents don't bother me, but then, they seem pretty generic Southern, which is probably not what you actually have in Louisiana.

[pinstripe-bindi.livejournal.com]

Wait, Fireproof is a theatrical release? When I saw the post on Best Week Ever mocking the trailer, I just assumed it was a PAX Network movie-of-the-week or something.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I know, man. When I saw the trailer in front of Hamlet 2 *after* reading about it somewhere else, I was like, WHAT?

[madeline-may.livejournal.com]

Anna Paquin dating 'True Blood' co-star Stephen Moyer.

I totally read Stephen Moyer as Stephanie Meyers. I choked on my cranberry juice.

Yeah, the Heroes countdown... I didn't even bother. Stop teasing me, Heroes, you're not good enough for that.

I didn't mind it so much last night, which I can hardly seem say about the majority of the viewing audience.

But I guess the big difference between me and the main population is that, while I love Heroes like some sort of crack, I don't take it very seriously. I go to Lost for my thought-provoking, well acted, edge of your seat drama, whereas Heroes is like campy, fun, addictive filler. In the best sense of the word.

Long story short, with Heroes, I just enjoy the ride and the pretty colours and the pretty cast. With Lost, it's wrapped its tentacles around me and won't let go.

[moogleybacon.livejournal.com]

I totally read Stephen Moyer as Stephenie Meyers.

HAH. I did, too! XD

And I don't take Heroes seriously, either. I make fun of it. With gay incest jokes, mostly. :3

[robinmc.livejournal.com]

If you did recaps of True Blood, it would probably make the show more enjoyable.

I've watched the first three episodes, and again I feel it's like the Twilight-effect, but with more sex: it's so ridiculous and silly and melodramatic (and don't even get me started on the "Southern" accents)...and yet I can't wait for the next episode. I don't really know why.

Maybe it's because I keep hoping against hope that Robert Pattinson will just show up.

[all-ephemera.livejournal.com]

"You do not sparkle! Must I do everything around here??"

[elvensapphire.livejournal.com]

The whole Clay thing is just...amusing, somehow. I mean, honestly, Claymates. You really didn't know? Really?

Ew, I don't like Nicholas Sparks. Please tell me I'm not the only one who doesn't.

Heroes has gotten so weird. The first season was pretty awesome, but since then...meh. I'm ambivalent about it. It's not really hype-worthy. And I didn't watch the hour before the actual premiere, either. Because the whole idea was just silly. Oy with the poodles, NBC.

Peter Facinelli looks like a vampire with that weird blond hair, and I don't necessarily mean that in a good way. I'm glad they reshot prom and added Jake, though.

True Blood - should I watch or no?

YAYSQUEE JOHNNY DEPP MAD HATTER!!!! *flails incoherently* Ah. I am so excited for Alice, because I ♥ Alice. Johnny Depp is like a chocolate covered cherry on top. Not that I really doubted that Tim Burton would use him.

[all-ephemera.livejournal.com]

I can't stand Nicholas Sparks. My mother handed me one of his books (they made it into a movie, with.. Kevin Costner, I think?) and I read it. It was... bland. Boring. Really poorly written. I couldn't force myself to give a shit about anyone in the book if someone was waving cupcakes in front of me as bribes.

[misachan.livejournal.com]

Man, we got a whole group together to watch Heroes and even we didn't watch the preview. Just give me my plot-twisty live-action comic book, NBC.

[girlandetc.livejournal.com]

BPAL ♥ Let us know how the store is! I will have to go next time I'm in town to visit family. I'm so jealous.

[joe-pwnz-pete.livejournal.com]

whatheshitwhattheshit.

that's enough, disney. i just looked up your upcoming movies AND I AM SEVERELY CHAGRINNED.

BLONDE!peter is beginning to look like brock from reba.

UMMMMM....

[jharrison19.livejournal.com]

on that twilight blog at MTV, they had a link to like an entire scene from the movie where edward actually talks, and it scares me to say this, but honest-to-god he sounds like hayden christensen, which scares the shit outta me. i HATE that dude. jumper was a good 2 hours stolen from my life. actually, though, its a bit sexy on rpattz.

also, true blood minus HBO = i LUFFS the internet

Re: UMMMMM....

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

You know what's weird? I happened to walk through the den while the last twenty minutes of Jumper was on, and... there was Kristen Stewart. Huh.

[anne-jumps.livejournal.com]

We've had BPAL at my Whole Foods in Alpharetta, Georgia.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

How does that work, anyway--are the bottles at all sealed? I mean, when I was in the pharmacy...ish section I saw a lot of essential oils with tester bottles, but BPAL has such obsession around it that I'm not sure I'd trust a bottle to be unopened and full.

[sweet-pessimism.livejournal.com]

You know what? I just had a thought. It's tragic. Dawn from True Blood and Sawyer from Lost would be.. perfect together. But they're TV shows apart! Woe!

[diner]

Also: still not over Blond Peter Facinelli. It's just wrong.

I agree. It's ... frightening.

[jennnk.livejournal.com]

HEY YOU GUYS THEY ARE NOW SELLING BPAL AT THE WHOLE FOODS IN BIRMINGHAM!

but you still can't buy a vibrator in alabama.

[hypocriticalme.livejournal.com]

Hey, did you know that there's going to be a sequel to Donnie Darko called S. Darko?

Also, I am watching Project Runway right now and LL COOL J IS THE GUEST JUDGE!! :D

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think I've posted about it a couple of times.

[allie-meril.livejournal.com]

*aghast* I'm insulted on Nora Ephron's behalf. Even leaving aside her awesome movies, I love her essay collections! They're hysterical!

[softnewtowel.livejournal.com]

Blond Peter Facinelli

so so so so wrong

[angulique.livejournal.com]

I was excited about the Blackbeard movie possibility, but I am fucking ECSTATIC that they are FINALLY doing Tim Burton's version of Alice in Wonderland! I remember hearing about that like 10 years ago and really wanting to see it!
