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.)

Yeah, I'm still not sure why everyone freaked out. It was just some random reporter in--Dallas? Chicago?--being like, "Hey, uh... British things, British things... Doctor Who?" "I LOVE DOCTOR WHO!" Nobody signed a damn contract, chill the fuck out.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I don't watch AH that much, but I really don't remember her digging on an interview subject quite that blatantly before. The perkiness/laughing is pretty normal, though--it's like, you laugh at all a celebrity's jokes to keep them talking and in a good mood. Ah, entertainment "journalism."

(I do like that you can hear the entire crew behind them laughing.)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Aw, no! You were actually the first person to send it to me. It was the other fifteen people who sent it to me after I didn't update later in the day that got me a bit down.

[bella-stella78.livejournal.com]

Oh, good. Yeah, I can imagine your frustration. But hey, at least we have a new Watchmen trailer! Isn't it awesome?! I can barely contain my squees, I am that excited. Thanks so much for posting the trailer.

[scarletsherlock.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. People don't understand when I tell them I'm a Phantom fan--"Oh, isn't that kind of a lame romance?" NO, it's scary and disturbing, actually. Not that I don't enjoy some of those adaptations, but I'm sure you know what I mean.

BTW--if you write fanfic--masked_ball /pimp/

Uh yeah so I Quantum of Solace was really quite good! There were lots of shots of Daniel Craig in a suit, Gemma Arterton was adorable, Olga Kurylenko was awesome, Mathieu Amalric was slimy, and all was good with the world. I wouldn't say it's as good as Casino Royale, but it's a very solid Bond movie.

Mostly, though: UNF Daniel Craig. I have no idea what makes him so hot.

I finally watched the few Access Hollywood interviews and I wanted to punch the interviewer. Could she giggle more? And her giggling when RPattz is trying to tell the story of the horrifyingly creepy 7 year old is irritating!

[hulamoth.livejournal.com]

and that I did not know.

[hulamoth.livejournal.com]

oh shit. If there's rioting, can you sue?

"the Forest Scene of 'Deathly Hallows'"

Wouldn't that be about 2/3rds of the book?

My first impulse when I saw that link was "GOOD GOD, THE CAMPING GOT *LONGER*?!?!?!"

[gaslightgallows]

I don't get it... no one ever confuses Trilby for a lame romance, and it's almost the same story... then again, I'm not sure anyone reads it anymore.

Dammit, you're gonna force me to start my PotO novel again, aren't you?

@.@

Of all the...! "Modern retelling" my left foot, it doesn't even sound like the same story?
