Happy Halloween! Again!

[cleolinda]

A band of trick-or-treaters just came to our door and sang my mother a song about pulling down her underwear. SOMEHOW, THEY ESCAPED WITH THEIR LIVES.

("What was that about my underwear...?" "When I was a kid, it was something about smelling your feet." "Oh...?")

Halloween linkspam!

Stan Lee's Acting Talents Finally Put To Good Use with Poe's "The Raven." Actually, I kind of wanted to post a reading of "Annabel Lee" in the last entry with the short-short stories--I've read it in public before, although I guess me reading it does put sort of an unexpected sapphic overtone on it ("I Buried a Girl and I Liked It"?)--but for some reason, I just could not get my mouth around the word sepulchre today. I can give you Christopher Walken's reading of "The Raven" instead, however.

Twilight (yes, there's a lot of it, WHATEVER): I re-uploaded the Rome clips; Better-quality Rome footage on YouTube for now, from bella_stella78 (plus a transcript). The thing I still find the funniest about the Rome footage is that Bella arrives at the house (okay, maybe the funniest thing is Edward speed-mo-ing over to open the car door for her), and the Cullens are just cheerfully cooking dinner for her. I mean... what? I would rather just not do dinner at all than try to have it with a bunch of vampires who can't eat staring at me. "You look THAT LOOKS delicious." AND THEN IT TURNS OUT SHE ALREADY ATE.

Was it the following?

Trick or Treat
Smell my (our) feet,
Give me (us) something good to eat.

If you don't,
I (we) dont' care,
I (we'll) pull down your underwear.

Ah, the classics.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

The first one's the one I remember; the one they sang to her seemed to be mostly the second verse only. Good times.

[viorica8957.livejournal.com]

Ywah, that's the one I remember as well. Never worked up the courage to actually sing it, though.

[poinsley.livejournal.com]

I remember that song. Don't think I ever sang it, though.

[miss-eponine.livejournal.com]

Have you seen this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nL3mrDzCuz0) yet? It's an extended promo for the next episode of True Blood. Spoilers obviously, but I'll just say one thing. WERECOLLIE!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I'M NOT WATCHING IT! The last time I watched an extended promo, I wished I hadn't!

[meglimir.livejournal.com]

some 4-8 yo kiddies just sang that one here - egged on by their mother no less!

RPATTZ IS LAUGHING AT YOU!

[jharrison19.livejournal.com]

so, i only noticed in that kstews on the couch when wardo is playing, which is really... strange looking.
i watched that interview where paddywagon is asked what nickname he's like and he came up with "spunk ransom." except spunk is slang for baby batter, so tween girls are screaming "I LOVE JIZZ" all over the interwebs. touche rpattz.

it works out perfect that todays the blog burfday, cause the tshirt can be your very belated present.

Re: RPATTZ IS LAUGHING AT YOU!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I didn't get to say this before, but... that t-shirt design is really kind of amazing.

[http://users.livejournal.com/__marcelo/]

Christopher Walken's reading of "The Raven" *Thanks* so much! That made my Halloween.

[venice-diaries.livejournal.com]

I'm listening to it right now, and it is awesome, amazing and wonderful. Perfect.

[padawansguide.livejournal.com]

OMG, the screaming in that Twilight clip was unreal! It was like listening to girl watch the Beatles or something. I'm a little afraid to see this in the theater now. That and because the clip was just terrible.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hee, yeah. You see what Robert Pattinson meant now when he said the screaming at Comic-Con sounded like "what you hear at the gates of hell."

It was like listening to girls watch the Beatles or something.

Which is also how I described the stroke of midnight at the Deathly Hallows release party, actually. For some reason I just love watching people make fools of themselves over something. You know, says the girl who had a hand-turned holly wand in her purse the whole time.

[missmp.livejournal.com]

#11 is my personal favorite

My very first thought, before clicking the link, was, "Viggo, right?" I must say, though, that I also have a soft spot for Stormare in Constantine. He's just so louche.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hee, true.

[flamingtoilet.livejournal.com]

Zack and Miri was great fun. Too bad no one is seeing it.

[redcurrantbasil.livejournal.com]

I love Walkens rendition of The Raven.
Hmmm?Stan Lee?! If they say so.
Christopher Lee would be pretty awesome.He has a distinct voice like Vincent Price. My parents and Oma and Opa have always called me Annabel Lee and then my AP English teacher started calling me Annabel Lee because he thought I was really really emo.
I happen to love E.A Poe's poetry but he has a lot of critics in that specific area.

[melayka.livejournal.com]

Note to self: When Cleo says she wants to share Twilight clips, what she really means is "I WANT TO MELT YOUR FUCKING FACES OFF, RAIDERS STYLE. LOOK UPON THE DAZZLE AND DIE, BITCHES. MWAHAHA!" From now on, do yourself a favor and move on to less horrifying prospects... like whatever's in the Uwe Boll slot.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I'll be honest, that really is pretty much why I post them.

[madelrocio7.livejournal.com]

IDK... I kinda might check out KStew when when she comes to D.C. Don't judge me. Nothing like this happens in D.C. Politicians can be boring. Plus I actually like Twilight. I know, I know. Don't say it. (If I go, should I take earplugs?)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I can't remember the list--is she going by herself to DC? Because if it's just her, you could probably go and come back out of it alive. If any of the guys are coming, take the earplugs. If it's Pattinson--take riot gear, and God help you.

[psychovmhpgrl77.livejournal.com]

Is it weird that I noticed Edward doing almost exactly the same move that Bill did a few weeks back? Like the whole speed-mo to open the door. I could've sworn it was like the same way Bill opened Sookie's door after Fangtasia and glamouring the cop. I will laugh so hard during this movie, when I'm not drooling over Jacksper of course.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Honestly? I noticed when Bill did it, because I was like AHAHAHAHA JUST LIKE IN THE BOOK WHEN EDWARD DID IT. Except that True Blood made a bigger deal out of Bill startling Sookie, I think, whereas in the Twilight clip it seems to be more of a throwaway detail. But then, I probably have an unofficial degree in comparative vampirology by now, just from writing all these recaps and things.

WHAT IS THIS MOCKERY THEY ARE CALLING HALLOWEEN NOWADAYS?

Only ten houses in a thirty-block neighborhood were giving out candy. I don't know if it was because we live in the Bible Belt or what.

Anyway...

I'm having an lolparty for the Twilight premiere. I'm planning for it now, including a mock scene of Edward eating Bella's uterus.

[siromygod.livejournal.com]

Even reading the transcript of the Rome footage makes me cringe.

[ohkaye.livejournal.com]

I thought you would appreciate this.

[gwynnywonk.livejournal.com]

I can't look away

[ofshoesandships.livejournal.com]

Downloading Viva La Hova now. I love Jay Z mixes.

Halloween as Edward and Bella slightly successful. I wound up using white glitter eyeshadow as his face makeup.

I saw Zack and Miri Make a Porno (while dressed as Bella) and I enjoyed it in a particular kind of way. I'm a Kevin Smith fan to start with and Jason Mewes and Jeff Anderson crack me

[moogleybacon.livejournal.com]

So... for some reason, this pretty much made my Halloween: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr2cAuye_SM

I knew it was gonna be a good night after my friend linked me that. I love Tim Curry, oh-so-much. The cape just made it full of win.

And thanks for the link to Walken reading The Raven! I'm definitely going to have to check that out later, when I am putting off homework wake up.

Oh, also, on the weird-Halloween-costumes-note: My friend's Geology TA dressed up as a baked potato. I'm not even kidding. He like, wrapped himself in tin foil, and had a thing that looked like the potato inside with butter and shit. He walked into the lab dressed like that, and so she took pictures; I cracked up, it was hilarious.

[ofshoesandships.livejournal.com]

Tim Curry is so awesome. Now I must go see RHPS next Saturday

I'm confused by this interview and by Kristen Stewart in general. And after our lovely little "Twilight is a metaphor for abstinence" from Robert a couple days ago, I'm just wondering if these two actually talked about the book while filming, and their characters, like at all. Cause it seems they're on opposite pages. Sort of.

Or maybe Kristen is just trying to be as polite as possible about this whole crazy Twilight situation erupting around her...

I buried a girl and I liked it!
Tossed her in her coffin plastic

(...ok, someone else should try to continue this song. I was at a gay bar last night and the last song I heard before I left was a mashup of IKAG and Barbie Girl.)
