I need a B-12 shot or something

[cleolinda]

Just a teensy bit of linkspam, because I'm going to try to get that fourth True Blood recap done:

Days of Our Lives & Passions headwriter, James E. Reilly has passed away at the age of 60; The Creator of The Best TV Show Ever, 'Passions,' Has Died. Please refer to our discussion here if you're unacquainted with the wonderful madness that is (was) Passions. ("In 2002, Julian and Timmy [the Talking Ventriloquist Doll] set out on a journey in the magical land of Oz as Theresa was 'executed' for Julian's 'murder' "; "Passions also broke new ground in 2007 with its portrayal of Vincent as a hermaphrodite who becomes pregnant with his own father's son." This is not even to speak of the Salem Stalker/Crazy Love Cage Jan storyline on Days that I recapped for a few months there.)

Neal Hefti, Composer, Is Dead at 85; 'Batman' TV theme composer dies.

Gale Harold of 'Desperate Housewives' injured in motorcycle accident; 'Desperate Housewives' Star Seriously Injured.

Madonna + Ritchie Confirm Divorce; Madonna And Ritchie Face 'Biggest Ever Showbiz Divorce.'

The EW Star Trek cover, on which you finally get to see Zachary Quinto in full Spock makeup. Oh, and also the dude playing Kirk.

ETA: Pete is home from the vet--pitiful but okay.

ETA 2, from bella_stella78: We have sparkling! Or we will, by the time the effects are put in! Y'all, I am gonna get thrown out of this theater.

Zachary looks AMAZING.

[adventurat.livejournal.com]

Aw, that's sad about James E Reilly; I used to love DOOL.

Also? Slashiest, poutiest Kirk and Spock pic evar!

And I hope Pete's on the mend for reals, soon.

[clodia-risa.livejournal.com]

Eyebrows of doom, wowzah! And I don't mean Spock's either.

I can't decide if Quinto looks just right because he does or because of the ears/eyebrows/hair/outfit masking his face.

I have a feeling the Madonna/Ritchie court battle is going to make the Mills/McCartney one look tame

[megalion.livejournal.com]

You really think so?

I see Ritchie as being too laid back to try to go after Madonna's money. And she's got too much of her own to bother with going after his.

If he brings out the big guns, it'll only prove to the world that he only married Madonna for her money/name/fame. And I always thought that he was man enough to deal with the fact people would say so but really was just with Madonna because he loved her.

I could be projecting... we'll see. I'm interested to see how it'll all play out.

Maybe it'll just come down to the kids?

The guy playing Kirk looks like 15 in that picture D:

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

There's something... kind of Van der Beekish about him.

[schmoo999.livejournal.com]

God Passions was just so awesome. I watched that my whole bedrest pregnancy every day.

[misachan.livejournal.com]

I can't judge the guy playing Kirk until he speaks. Once I hear him say, "The LIVES...of over 400 crewmen are DEPENDING ON ME," then I'll know whether or not he can play Kirk.

[cassildra.livejournal.com]

This.

[revid.livejournal.com]

Oh Gale!
Thanks for the news about Gale Harold. I hope he recovers quickly.

[diddakoi.livejournal.com]

The guy playing Kirk is too... pretty. It's just not right.

[cassildra.livejournal.com]

I think he's hotter than The Shat ever was, but I apparently go for pretty boys...

[goonie-freak.livejournal.com]

Yay for Pete...

I wonder if Zachary shaved his eyebrows for it or just put fake skin over them... hmmm I would give him props for shaving them off...

[drpeprfan.livejournal.com]

He definitely shaved them. My friend showed me an interview with him where he only had half his eyebrows, it was amusing.

[wearejustducky.livejournal.com]

I made the mistake of looking at the Twilight pics and just made the world's most inappropriate snarfling sound in the middle of my Negotiations class.

This basically confirms that I am going to have to watch this movie at home, because I am going to be unable to hold it together in public.

[cindyg.livejournal.com]

I have a feeling that when the movie gets over to Philippine shores, hubby and I (if we manage to see it) will need to go to the earliest possible showing, when the theatre is still empty.

Or else the fangirls will be treated to such nitpicking and carrying-on as they have never heard before. ::grin::

[madeline-may.livejournal.com]

I am feeling feelings of utter, utter want towards Spock.

It's making me uncomfortable.

Truly.

Damn you, Quinto!

[clodia-risa.livejournal.com]

I have been lusting after Spock since I was in ninth grade. Welcome to the club!

[greedyskunk.livejournal.com]

I love how it's Zachary Quinto as Spock...and that other guy. Spock looks so innocent in that pic.

Aaaannndd, bringing it back to the Twilight. Will anyone be near Corvallis, OR and want to see the movie when it comes out? I am 99% certain that I will be going solo because no one else I know even wants to be tainted by this. Anyone know of a site to meet up with fellow lovers of the cheesy, the cracky, the sparkly lolfest that will be this movie?

[girlthethird.livejournal.com]

I know, I'm thisclose to creating a group on facebook for lolfans to arrange to see Twilight.

[iraenicole.livejournal.com]

Blah use of the word hermaphrodite and the character altogether seems pretty horrible.

The guy playing Kirk looks kind of way to young.

[dives.livejournal.com]

Oddly enough, my first reaction about this Madonna/Ritchie thing was "Oh no, the kids:-(" It must suck enough that your parents are going through a divorce, but it must suck even more to have it all happen in the public eye.

[missmp.livejournal.com]

Oh god, please tell me they're going to CGI out RPatzz's unfortunate belly hair. Otherwise it's going to scar the prepubescent girls for life.

[meleth.livejournal.com]

No, it's just going to end their prepubescence.

[poinsley.livejournal.com]

The more I see stuff about this movie, the more I want to see it. Damn it!

I need to find someone to go with me...

[wendyzski.livejournal.com]

I didn't even know Madonna and Ritchie were getting divorced. Sorry for them, I guess.
May Pete get well soon :)
Yay the True Blood recap soon! I'm guessing you caught ep.6, BTW? What'd you think (in a spoilerless, brief sort of way winkwink)?

[bella-stella78.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm anxiously awaiting the recap!
Have any of you read the books "True Blood" is based on by the author Charlaine Harris? I just started the first book, Dead Until Dark, and it's even better than the show ... except for the fact that there's been no sign of Tara as of yet.

[padawansguide.livejournal.com]

But I want sparkles now, dammit!!

:-)

Glad Pete is doing better...

Gale Harold of 'Desperate Housewives' injured in motorcycle accident; 'Desperate Housewives' Star Seriously Injured.

I read these really fast, and I guess my brain has issues or something, because for a second there I thought Gale died. ...It's not like it'd be that big of a stretch, this year. :(

[canadian-plant.livejournal.com]

Saw this (http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/2008/10/confessions-of-cake-wrecker.html) and thought of you (and your readers).

[batmaz.livejournal.com]

Bravo. That reduced me to tears of laughter. And topical too!

[cassildra.livejournal.com]

Okay, seriously, FUCK YOU 2008.

[bunnymonkey.livejournal.com]

YES! True Blood Recaps! The prospect has made my previously crappy day.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Aw, hee. I've just felt so shitty the last few days that it's been hard to get any work done.

Craziness

[serenityjayne.livejournal.com]

I don't know if you've seen this or not, but I often use babynames.com to research/find names to use for characters in my stories. Anyway, I went there today and look what I found:

They're actually encouraging this madness!
