A quick break from the Twilight Zone marathon

[cleolinda]

Now that I've had a couple of hours to listen to the lulz lamentations of the POTO fans across the land(s), let's get a couple of other things out of the way:

From laerwen: Sir Pterry! (Write Well, Be an Advocate (and a British Citizen) and You Too Could Be Knighted.)

If you'd told me there would be Yeti Field Goals, I would have gone to see this movie.

New Watchmen Featurette Probes Separation Between Superhero And State; VIDEO: Why Is Fox's Sister Company MySpace Hosting New 'Watchmen' Sneak Peek?

Hold on a second, 2009: Extra tick goes on clock. NOW YOU'RE JUST TAUNTING ME.

I like the fake cut. I don't know why, its just really amusing me.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Oh crap--I didn't even mean that to look like a fake cut; I don't want people to feel deceived or anything.

[skeptiik.livejournal.com]

Oh, I feel deceived. So very deceived. Your fake cut/link has ruined my day with its utter deception.

Only not.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Can you tell I've had people jump all over me for tiny random things before? ; )

[skeptiik.livejournal.com]

Pshh, nawww.

Watchmen

[madripoor-rose.livejournal.com]

Y'know, if they keep releasing these trailers and clips, it doesn't really matter if Fox delays release, we'll already have seen the good parts.

[sweetsyren.livejournal.com]

Go Pterry! If anyone deserves one it's you :)

[tenaya-owlcat.livejournal.com]

Admittedly, the Yeti field goals were the best part of the movie. :P

[glass-radical.livejournal.com]

Its true.

I saw the whole extra second to 2008 thing on the Colbert Report and almost cried. ONE SECOND D: D: D: *tear*

The bit about the British not wanting to give up their Official Keepers of TIME bragging rights to the (filthy) French is so "charmingly" 19th/18th/14th century.

There's a Doctor Who/Timelord (and possibly Jerry Lewis) joke in there somewhere but 2008 has beaten the last of the cleverness (if there was any to begin with) out of me.

I swear I heard that Cameron Macintosh's Barnum had fallen through. I don't remember where I heard that, but it's in my memory. (I'm saying it here because no one's going to see it after 90 comments, are they? I should have said something earlier.)

Then again, anything with JB is speculative. The BBC is still trying to convince people that they've shortened S3 of Torchwood to "make a splash on BBC 1" and not because they had to let half the production crew go for budget reasons.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, if Barnum fell through, that would explain why ALW is so certain that he's got Barrowman. If that's who he's referring to, anyway.

POTO

I'm confused...the sequel will be a movie?? Ugh.

[roseredhoofbeat.livejournal.com]

HEY! I DON'T USE TWITTER AND WHAT IF I DON'T WANNA FOLLOW YOUR FAKE CUT, HUH? HUH?/

/kidding

Happy New Year! IT'S ALMOST OVER!

[cmdr-zoom.livejournal.com]

Thank God.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Heh. Actually, the FriendFeed thing would help people who don't use Twitter, because it collects the twits or tweets or whatever and puts them with shit from other services I have added in there. Basically, it's stuff I wouldn't have put in the linkspam anyway, but it's there if people want it.

[soulforophelia.livejournal.com]

The yeti field goals are pretty much the best part out of that whole movie. lol

[batmaz.livejournal.com]

Your icon is just the best.

*shakes fist at 2008* It's slowing down the closer it gets to midnight, no matter how many times I rewatch that Watchmen clip nothing is passing the time, argh!

Also, it doesn't help that I have 'raging tonsilitis' (that was how my doctor phrased it after peering inside my almost-closed-up throat). 2008's parting blow.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Aw! I hope you feel better soon!

(I actually made the icon after I posted the entry and was like, no, I have to go back and put this in, I love it too much.)

[numb3r-5ev3n.livejournal.com]

You know, I hadn't thought of that. Why IS FOX's sister-company Myspace hosting the Watchmen sneak-peak? :/

Methinks I detect some shenanigans here.

[alexdrovna.livejournal.com]

Also, too.

Why would you take a break from the Twlight Zone marathon!? The best marathon all year! So good, I plan my New Year's Eve Party around it, just so everyone comes to my house and I can leave the Marathon on!!

We call it "New Year's in the 5th Dimension"

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I can't remember which episode was on at the time, but I think it was either one I didn't care much for, or it was a commercial break. I've had it on in the background at the very least all day.

[cyranothe2nd.livejournal.com]

Wow. 2008 really fucking hates you.

[thefireisblack.livejournal.com]

One more second, wow, 08 really does do sucker punches well.

But after that one second, we shall laugh at it.

I'm still not getting the POTO thing. Because by then, aren't we going into the realm of fanfiction here?

Hooray for Terry! Sandra Kidby emailed me the news yesterday, but like a loser I didn't even check my email until today. I'm so happy for him, especially since this is the 25th year of Discworld. Yay! :)

Also: Happy New Year!
