A very parenthetical mood

[cleolinda]

Aw! An anonymouse sent me virtual milk and cookies. And did I need them today. Today has not been a good day. Although y'all were a life-saver with my POTO question--what I wanted to do for the annotations was take my favorite chapter (the one where Christine sits Raoul down and tells him, in flashback, the scenes that basically make up "Phantom of the Opera" and "Music of the Night," but in a vastly different tone. In the book, it is blood-curdling) and footnote that as well. You know, as a bonus feature. And since the novel's in the public domain, I can legally do it. And I got all of that out of the way today, amazingly. So at least that was productive.

I'm kind of not having a very good day other than that, though. Like, nauseated with tension. That kind of thing.

By the way, yes, here is the Twilight Script reimagined from MSN. I love y'all, but please stop sending it to me. (I know, I know. I'm sorry. I'm just sick with anxiety, is all.)

(Yes, I saw 'Twilight' actor open to 'Doctor Who' role, which basically translates to, "Hey, you're British! Would you ever play the Doctor?" "I LOVE DOCTOR WHO!" Aw.)

(This is the best thing ever. Just watch it. "Are we still getting married this Friday?")

(Oh God, the seven-year-old girl story is so much more horrifying the way he tells it himself.)

(Ever wondered what "Run, Bella, Run (Stay, Bella, Stay)" would sound like? Now you know, courtesy of ftsor.)

I think I saw the headline in passing? It was a long night.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yup, Dewey.

[sneaky-minx.livejournal.com]

I don't, maybe it's because I read about the possible AIDs cure earlier today and have digested it, or maybe I'm just a bad person - because the LOLCat made me smile the most in the linkspam.

'Dark Knight' Score is Disqualified from Oscar Contention.

I...don't quite understand why. They credited the score to too many people?

[scarletsherlock.livejournal.com]

If Twilight was anything like either of these two books, I might have an interest in reading it.

I have so much hate for the Academy right now.

Well, if you're in need of a good giggle, the picture really says it all: http://videogum.com/archives/bloopers/hugh-jackman-peed-his-pants_035391.html

I hope tomorrow's better for you.

I know I'm late to the freak out but:

WATCHMEN. TRAILER. OH. MY. GOD. Y'ALL.

Watchmen Trailer

[suzeclues12.livejournal.com]

Hah! With Muse playing in the background! Very meta, Cleolinda, very meta.

Somewhere, deep in the wilds of Arizona, SMeyer is rolling around in ecstasy.

Re: Watchmen Trailer

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I like to think that the Muse guys were just like, "Please, get us associated with another movie. Any other movie. Preferably something awesome. Please?"

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Actually, the characters discuss WH a lot in Eclipse. Mostly to the tune of, "So I'm jerking this one guy around 'cause I kinda like him but he's not really my Heathcliff."

[miss-eponine.livejournal.com]

Seconded. The crazies come out full force at the library during the full moon.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Heh, thanks.

[all-ephemera.livejournal.com]

OH GOD SEND HELP. RPatzz and Kristen whateverhernameis are going to be at the mall around the corner from my house tomorrow. Literally, I can see the mall from my roof help send help!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Oh good Lord.

(You know, I'm a little worried. I haven't heard A WORD about Philadelphia tonight yet. Usually by this time of night we're hearing about riots.)

[all-ephemera.livejournal.com]

I'm so tempted to go harass the Twihards, but my husband already has a broken wrist. I don't know if I want to risk more broken bones. ;)

[brainchild129.livejournal.com]

I can't say I'm upset over the shunning of The Dark Knight score for Oscar consideration. Most of what I heard were reused themes from the first one, and I'm sorry, but holding an atonal note for all eternity is not a theme. That's just lazy.

I love the film as much as anyone else, but both the Burton ones and even the Schumacher ones beat it in the musical score department.

[urizanegao.livejournal.com]

That song is great! Thank you <3.

[urizanegao.livejournal.com]

IA.

[stokerbramwell.livejournal.com]

WHAT

I was actually JUST TALKING about how Dr. Claw was the only reason I watched Inspector Gadget as a kid...and now THIS??

WHAT

[ipomoea.livejournal.com]

I could barely watch because the excessive fake laughing at every single thing that came out of his mouth was getting on my nerves so much. Was this a fangirl who won a "interview Rpattz!" competition or something? Professionalism FAIL.

[awanderingbard.livejournal.com]

You know, I've been hearing all the RPattz stuff and I haven't actually seen him interviewed anywhere until now. He is incredibly charming. He's very...I don't know. He seems so grounded in himself. Like, there's this swirling vortex of CRAZY around him and he's just so very normal and not fake. Very cool.

Run, Bella, Run is now stuck in my head. It's a very catchy arrangement.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm not saying it should win. I'm just sad it can't even compete. I will agree with you, though, the Danny Elfman themes will always be the best.

[brainchild129.livejournal.com]

Oh I absolutely agree (although I've always liked the score for Batman Returns more than Batman and have never quite understood the hate most soundtrack critics have for that score).

It's quite a shame about Elliot Goldenthal's scores for the Schumacher Batmans: they're pretty good (especially the one for Batman Forever), but few people notice because they're attached to such awful films.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I believe that was Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson, actually. As in, someone who's worked there for years.
