Majel Roddenberry. So sad. :(

[amberdulen.livejournal.com]

54 weeks?? Are they filming the book in real time??

[mollywobbles867.livejournal.com]

lol No, but they're filming both parts at the same time.

I wonder if this includes hiatuses, because for the other films, they filmed for like 10 months each. I really expected it to be longer, unless this is without hiatuses, then it sounds about right.

[crumpeteer.livejournal.com]

Keanu frickin' Reeves in Cowboy Bebop. Thanks for ruining everything sacred to me, Hollywood.

[falco-conlon.livejournal.com]

Hollywood is really good at that

*tries not to think about the breakfast club remake (http://www.filmstalker.co.uk/archives/2008/02/is_this_a_breakfast_club_remak.html)*

[hespiria.livejournal.com]

Stop, wait. They are making a Cowboy Bepop movie? Oh ruin my childhood Hollywood.

Have a good rest!

[elizardbits.livejournal.com]

NOOOOO NOT LANCE THE ACID-TRIPPING, PUPPY-CUDDLING SURFER. :/ Stupid 2008.

Also, 54 weeks for Deathly Hallows sounds INSANE. Although - it's for both movies, right? Cause 54 weeks for only ONE HALF of DH would be total madness.

(Ironically, I think Apocalypse Now took about 54 weeks to film. Hm. Let's hope DH doesn't have any alcohol-related heart attacks, nervous breakdowns, animal sacrifice, suicide attempts, or unscheduled armed insurrections.)

Scoop: Group bungles ‘Valkyrie’ protest.

dare I say it? DOIN' IT WRONG.

[flamingtoilet.livejournal.com]

Majel and Gene reunited at last. Godspeed Number One/Nurse (Dr.) Chapel/M'Ress/Lwaxana/computer voice.

[marginaliana]

No Oceans 4? *sadface*

[kirsdarke.livejournal.com]

You know, I loved every single one of the first three, and I would've liked a fourth, but I really don't think it would be the same without Bernie Mac.

[sun-star-n-moon.livejournal.com]

I really wish they would stop pushing the hobbit back, Being a die hard LotRs fan, I've been looking forward to a possibility of The Hobbit for years and years.

Bah! I keep getting this feeling that they are just going to give up on it entirely.

[flaxenescapee.livejournal.com]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[barrelgoddess.livejournal.com]

Majel Roddenberry. :(

Dammit, Anonymous. XD

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, no Keanu Reeves in my Bebop. Head explosion imminent. In fact, please no live-action Bebop, period. ONLY anime, with that perfect, perfect English dub.

And now I'm going to get my whine on about the Hobbit being delayed. :/

[sabra-n.livejournal.com]

Because I feel like the whole world should be supporting this right now: Emma Thompson thinks (http://weblogs.variety.com/thompsononhollywood/2008/12/thompson-wants.html) Hugh Laurie should play Henry Higgins.

Also, isn't Keanu Reeves starring in Cowboy Bebop something of a whitewash, too? I know he's part Asian somewhere along the line...but still. A part-wash? Just silly casting?

Finally...54 weeks? Isn't a year 52 weeks?!

[zrath.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, like Spike Spiegel is such a Japanese name! XD

Just because they're anime characters don't mean they're Japanese.
As weird as that may sound.

[zrath.livejournal.com]

I loved Lwaxana Troi in ST:TNG.
I loved how everybody on the Enterprise would freak out and hide whenever she showed up. :D

"Hello Jean-Luc!"
"Merde..."

[huehau.livejournal.com]

She was probably the only thing the Captain Picard genuinely feared.

[efyyness.livejournal.com]

have you seen the new pictures of Rupert Grint in his movie Cherrybomb? If not:

http://eruditefics.livejournal.com/27370.html

[mollywobbles867.livejournal.com]

lol That's one of my friends!

The original source was ICM (http://www.rupert-grint.us/~taoicm1/gallery2/v/promo/chb/malandluke.jpg.html). They fucking rock.

[trash-addict.livejournal.com]

The Sydney Morning Herald announced today that Disney and Walden Media are looking for a new location to shoot The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and that Australia is on the list of possibilities

Ben Barnes? I think they should film in my backyard. New South Wales for the win! We don't so much have the islands thing going on, though...

Chattanooga Woman Fakes Breast Cancer (http://www.counton2.com/cbd/news/national/article/chattanooga_woman_fakes_breast_cancer/18246/)

She is an embarrassment to my city.

[miss-eponine.livejournal.com]

You're from Chattanooga? I grew up there! I lived there until I was 25 (5 years ago), and I love that city so so much. Every time I go home, I have so many restaurants that I just have to visit.

Also, what a horrible thing to do.

[bella-stella78.livejournal.com]

That was an epic linkspam, Cleo, no less for the info that U2 is releasing a new album. Thank you for posting that, because it srsly made my day! :D

re: whitewash

[hulamoth.livejournal.com]

OH YOU DON'T SAY, NAACP.
Sorry. About half of my conversations today have been about Avatar. And this is with people who've never even watched the show.


sorry. Still pissed. Anyway, thanks for doing this, even though you're tired. Now go sleep and eat some chocolate. Not in that order.

[eridian-tea.livejournal.com]

...Wait, are they saying Keanu wants to play Spike Spiegel?

I'm trying to imagine him with Spike hair and it's blowing my mind a little. I mean, I love Keanu, but... damn.

[artemis-archer.livejournal.com]

haha I wish I could take credit for making this, someone posted it on the ohnotheydidnt post regarding that article last night and it just cracks me up for some reason

[msilverstar]

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to Film for 54 Weeks. DAMN.

They are going to hate it so much by the end.

Also: the IMDB thing about the Hobbit delay looks very suspect to me. TORN doesn't have anything on it.

[robinmc.livejournal.com]

Baby Polar Bear Attack, om nom nom.

Well, now I know that it is actually possible to die from exposure to extreme cuteness.

[cherrymaryberry.livejournal.com]

"Keanu Reeves Eager To Do ‘Something Good’ With ‘Cowboy Bebop’ Movie"

DO NOT WANT!!

[ohkaye.livejournal.com]

For a second I read "Tim Curry will play Papa Stark" and I nearly died of joy.

Alas.

[madeline-may.livejournal.com]

I would literally keel over, were that the case.

[delurker.livejournal.com]

Dawn Treader may be coming to Australia? Sweet!

[shenniefish.livejournal.com]

So, basically, Dawn Treader is going to be filming TWO HOURS FROM WHERE I LIVE.

*dies*



*plans trip*
