Long day, low blood sugar--tomorrow is Sister Girl's birthday (I told you December is a busy month chez Jones)--so the linkspam is somewhat compact. 'Cause I'm tired.

The Shorty Awards at Twitter: Please notice that Stephen Fry is somehow not winning the Humor category. I demand that this be rectified immediately. Also, winners will give 140-character speeches in New York. I'm not even making that up. You know you want him to be there.

(Full disclosure: I have received one vote in this category. Reading over my twits or tweets or whatever they are--they are really not award material. They are "random thoughts I now don't have to squeeze into a linkspam post." So this is not a beg for nominations. However, if you would like to nominate my friend David in the social media category--he writes for AdFreak and has his own blog, The Social Path--feel free to do so, because he really does deserve it.)

However, I did solve one of the great Twilight mysteries today: The lipstick's not Cargo or Nars. It's Benefit Cosmetics. I'm surprised they went with a Betty shade rather than a Gabbi with his coloring, but there you are.

(I can't wait to see what they put on Ben Barnes.)

Ii may be sadistic of me, but I just want to see Ben Barnes sparkle.

[bat-ho.livejournal.com]

If he is up for Aro then you won't get to see him sparkle I'm pretty sure. Aro&friends threaten to kill Edward for threatening to sparkle ... so...

[arden-ranger.livejournal.com]

I'd never even heard of Delgo.

Also, that Wolverine trailer? So much hotness. Woof.

[robinmc.livejournal.com]

I'd never even heard of Delgo.

Had anyone?

[malsperanza.livejournal.com]

Speaking of dolls, you seen this?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hee, yeah--is it only just now coming out?

[tabbyclaw.livejournal.com]

Apparently if you don't tell people you have a movie coming out, they won't go to see it. Who knew?

[zeroxgirl1201.livejournal.com]

Tyler Perry! <3

[robinmc.livejournal.com]

I do remember thinking at one point "that is a really awesome shade of lipstick he's wearing."

Do I have to register on Twitter to vote for Stephen Fry? Because I totally will if I have to. I have loved that man since I saw Jeeves & Wooster when I was a kid.

[fallingmallorn.livejournal.com]

The Christmas stockings made me go O_o and then I think I may have facepalmed before passing out from too much headdesking.

Although, the fact that the lipstick shade was, in fact, Ms. Behavin', made me go XD Oh, RPattz Edward, you queen!

Robert Pattinson to Play Jack Sparrow’s Brother in Next Pirates Movie

This rumor is so incredibly unbelievably fantastically ridiculously impossibly WONDERFUL, that I almost wish it were true for the sake of sheer cracktasticness.

[niiicko.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

[emisi.livejournal.com]

I really want Ben Barnes in New Moon. Really really really. I was actually just commenting (after finally seeing Twilight today) that he would have made a better Edward (being that he's hot and not sorta funny looking). Ben Barnes!

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

By the way, what's the deal with the lipstick? Can you translate why this is funny for someone who knows nothing about lipstick?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

It's funny because we were all joking about how they must have put lipstick on Robert Pattinson in the movie, and then it turns out they really did? And I found proof of it (i.e., the specific name and brand)? I mean... that's really all it is. There's nothing specifically funny about it being this brand or the other. Benefit's great and all.

[door.livejournal.com]

Thanks for solving the lipstick mystery! I was kind of coveting everyone's super-rosy lips in the movie.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Apparently the makeup artist put a cranberry Noriko gloss on everyone as well, so I'm wondering if that's actually what people need to get. Of course, I then looked it up, and it seems like you can't actually buy it online.

[annemjw.livejournal.com]

Check out the brutal firing (http://george08.blogspot.com/) of George Oates from Flickr by Yahoo! Cold, man.

Oh I'm so glad they're staying loyal to the Twilight texts, just think what would happen if they actually tried to make decent dialogue from it! The fangirls would never follow...

:)

[mercat.livejournal.com]

Kind of sad that Delgo failed, I guess, but it did honestly look really awful. And on the flipside, Dr. Horrible was a huge success.

[elvensapphire.livejournal.com]

Dr. Horrible was a huge success. :D Because Dr. Horrible is made of shiny, happy things. (I hear the DVD is going to have musical commentary?! Eeee.) I feel a little guilty because I have never ever heard of Delgo, but I guess...I'm not the only one.

[civilbloodshed.livejournal.com]

WTF?! That is the most disturbing mash-up of Donnie Darko and American Psycho I've ever seen.

...I'm glad it's the only one too, or I'd die of awesome.

[dramaturgca.livejournal.com]

Aww... Sister Girl and I share a birthday! Happy birthday, Sister Girl!

STEPHEN FRY IS A GOD. All should love him and despair!! Fools. (I painstakingly transcribed this whole quote (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1090278/quotes) from Kenneth Branagh from "Stephen Fry: 50 Not Out" because I thought it was outstanding.)

I never even heard of Delgo until I saw it on Rotten Tomatoes. That is oddly sad.

R-Pattz kind of already is one of the Sparrows. Oddly pretty, unwashed, hilarious, often prone to the mumblies, scared of hysterical shrieking fangirls/undead pirates (same thing, really)...I would love it. SO MUCH.

[iluvbeingme23.livejournal.com]

Zefron in a remake of the wonderful Footloose?! Shoot me.

[azzy23.livejournal.com]

Have you seen this?!?!?!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think I linked it about a week ago. : )

[stokerbramwell.livejournal.com]

Okay, I must have missed one of the original posts about this, but I have got to know: HOW are people getting these Coraline Boxes of Mystery?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

You know, I really don't know. Apparently the Coraline people picked 50 bloggers for reasons known only to them and started sending them out--I got an email asking if I'd accept one and gave them my address. Each box seems to have been tailored to the site or blogger in some way, and with a personalized letter--I think "girl power" was the theme they went with for me, but a gothic site, a knitting blog, a Neil Gaiman fan, an animation archive, all kinds of people got them, based on whichever way the production company chose to relate the movie to them. I haven't seen all fifty, but I have a link around here somewhere to a blog that was cataloguing all reports of boxes (including mine). I have no idea how they knew about me or how I made the cut.

In the "dream cast," I was so excited about Christopher Lee, even though he was pretend-cast as Caius rather than Aro. I'm sad about the lack of Christopher Lee in this film.

WOLVERINE: Film looks good- Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool is just *perfect*; but why are Gambit's eyes normal, instead of Black conjunctiva with red irises? Just to give the fanboys something to criticize? *g*

A quick TWILIGHT question: Was Taylor Lautner (Jacob) wearing a wig in the film, or was that his real hair?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I think it was a wig?

[elvensapphire.livejournal.com]

omg, the stocking of doom. *hides*

[mycenae.livejournal.com]

For some reason I read "Twilight sequel" as "Twilight PREquel" and was filled with an all-too-short hope for an awesome Carlisle-centric movie.

[kosher-jenny.livejournal.com]

Thanks for reminding me that I desperately want Rouge d' Enfer (http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P2865&categoryId=C10476), but I can't spend 24 bucks on lipstick right now without feeling like a fool. :(

Also, am I alone in thinking that RPattz could work as Jack's brother? But more along the lines of being the black sheep of the Sparrow family, i.e. the one who went "straight" (and filling in the straight man role that Will was in during the previous movies). Yeah, I think it's almost certainly a false rumor but I might have been drinking a little and that little plot idea probably won't sound so good tomorrow, but it kind of does right now...

And the supposed reason why Brand was taken out of the running is hilarious.

[kosher-jenny.livejournal.com]

Also, they really are trying for next November? Wow, this really will be a train wreck!

[abbreviated-kt.livejournal.com]

I am so excited for I Love You, Man. :) So glad to finally see more about it.
