Today's Journal Birthmonth Flashback: Let's be lazy and link to The Happening in Fifteen Minutes from earlier this summer, since it's out on DVD today. I highly recommend that you at least Netflix it or something, if only to shock and amaze yourself with the number of things I did not, in fact, make up. (Extramarital dessert... the mood ring... "cheese and crackers"... the trees rustling on the phone... Hot Dog Time...)

Dude - Open Office! Never crashes!

[sucrelefey.livejournal.com]

If I had a way of sending you my WP7 I would but someone "borrowed" the install disk never to be seen again.

[kijikun.livejournal.com]

I've already seen pictures of Mia Wasikowska as Alice. I'm so looking forward to it. While I'm not surprised that Helena Bonhama Carter is going to be in it (she's in every Tim Burton movie isn't she?), I'm a bit surprised at Ann Hathaway being cast.

I take it back she'll be brill as the White Queen.

I can't tell you how happy I am that the last word in that title is "skills."

Is Anne Hathaway Guaranteed an Oscar Nom?

And I thought that was just going to be the laws of probability kicking in.

And as soon as I find an efficient way to Twitter my heart rate at any given moment, I'm doing it.

I hate headlines like that "Power Rangers actor kills someone"

I've never watched the show but it's this guy's only IMDB credit. At best he's a one shot 'guest star'. NOT a Power Rangers actor!

[last-archangel.livejournal.com]

Tim Burton's really good at putting whoever he's fucking at the moment in his movies. That's one of the reasons why Planet of the Apes was so awkward and terrible - he was transitioning from one to the other.

Honestly, I can't stand HBC. And I haven't enjoyed a Tim Burton movie since Sleepy Hollow.

Open Office also cures the sick, makes dinner, does the dishes, is fabulous in bed AND wants to cuddle after.

[pinstripe-bindi.livejournal.com]

I had this feeling of childlike amazement when I saw The Happening, because I truly thought all the stuff I'd read about it HAD to be an exaggeration. WHY YOU EYEIN' MAH LEMON DRANK.

Did you see that skit on last Saturday's SNL, Mark Wahlberg Talks To Animals? It was hilarious, not least because it reminded me of that scene in the movie when he talked to a plant that turned out to be fake. But also because it was so random, and a dead-on impression.

[kijikun.livejournal.com]

She was lovely in Charlies and the Chocolate Factory. But I've had a crush on her since Howard's End, so I'm a bit bias.

He's been seeing her for a while, hasn't he? And does that mean he's fucking Johnny Depp?

[allthelivesofme.livejournal.com]

I second this.

[kilted.livejournal.com]

My theatre has been doing that opera thing for almost a year... I think we have Salome playing live from the Met next week, actually. All the (lovely old) people who go to see them say it's better than actually being there- cheaper, they do behind the scenes stuff, they zoom in on the singers, etc.

[jharrison19.livejournal.com]

I could not stop laughing at that skit. "hey chicken, alotta people wanna eat chu, but i just wanna talk to you OK?"

[pinstripe-bindi.livejournal.com]

Say hi to your mom for me, okay?!

[rinnamarie.livejournal.com]

Nah, I think that's more of a man-crush. Either that, or a 'holy shit, people will see any crap thing I put this guy in, and he will make me a shit-ton of money' thing.

Is Spike Lee’s ‘Inside Man 2’ Moving Forward Without Jodie Foster?

Who cares! As long as it has Willem Dafoe in it again for round 2, I'm there. :D

[zzinnia.livejournal.com]

and i.

[last-archangel.livejournal.com]

We can dream.

I just don't like her, and never really have, although I'm not sure why.

[rinnamarie.livejournal.com]

I know... there was one a couple of weeks ago that said something like "High School Musical star arrested!" and it turns out the kid in question played Athletic Teen #3 or some such nonsense. Don't get my scandal hopes up, stupid entertainment media.

[kilted.livejournal.com]

Also- it's not often you see the phrase "Icelandic Thriller"... huh.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

Okay, first headline is a little bit misleading, since imdb tells me the guy did ONE EPISODE. imdb has been wrong before, and it doesn't change the "oh jesus god that is awful" factor, but I grew up watching MMPR and I am TRUMATIZED ENOUGH by Trini's death-by-no-seatbelt. If Billy killed some people and got the chair, I don't know how I'd cope. D:

American Ab Fab WHAT

...wait. Dude, did no one else watch Cybil? God, I miss Marianne.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

And then there was "Harry Potter actor stabbed to death".

I hate you, media. LEAVE MY CHILDHOOD ALONE.

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

Oh! I saw The Happening a few weeks ago! *goes to read your parody*

Anne Hathaway! I have a growing fondness for her.

Mood disorders and creativity linked?

Everybody say 'duh-huh.'

Lord, everyone knows that crazy people are more creative. It's the ONLY good thing about mood disorders!

[etod.livejournal.com]

It is a pretty awesome thing--I saw the Barber of Seville that way which was nice seeing as I'm stuck in Texas. :[

[harveypenguin.livejournal.com]

I'm totally going to the movie theater opera things this year. Particularly Doctor Atomic. Tickets are like $20 though, which is lame.
