Sunday 'spam

[cleolinda]

New Secret Life of Dolls thataway. I think we might be able to get to The Package after two more entries. That second entry, though? Ought to be pretty exciting on its own. And keep in mind that the last time I said that, I brought in the My Little Ponies. So keep an eye out for that.

Linkspam:

Fox News Illegally Downloads "Wolverine" and Reviews It; Roger Friedman Brags About Downloading 'Wolverine'; Fox News fires renegade Wolverine reviewer Roger Friedman. Oh my God. This is one of the stupidest, and by "stupidest" I mean "funniest," things I've ever heard. "Please enjoy this review of a stolen movie that I pirated which was MADE BY THE COMPANY THAT OWNS MY SITE." Way to Darwin yourself out of a job, man.

'Fast & Furious' grosses huge $30.1 mil on Friday, on pace to shatter box office records; Fast & Furious Fires Up Record $72.5 Million! I don't know if it's just that there's nothing else fun, loud and stupid for people to go see right now, but God knows I wasn't expecting the fourth installment in a broke-ass franchise to break records, and I don't know anyone else who was either.

BAHAHA!
FOX NEWS!
WHEN WILL YOU LEARN?

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

NOOOOOO Viggo. DONT YOU QUIT ON ME.

[madeline-may.livejournal.com]

Cloris Leachman to costar in 'Bonnie and Clyde' film.

I remain unimpressed.

[girlalmighty]

That Fox News one has been cracking me up since you posted it on Twitter. Man, that's some impressive stupidity there.

Anyway, I'm so excited about this Emma adaptation. It's really great to see Romola Garai getting more leading roles.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

He was just so enthusiastic about the pirating! Of a movie made by Fox! On a site owned by Fox! I can't stop laughing about it.

[glenvorian.livejournal.com]

LMAO @ Fox. I hate them most of the time, but this wins in stupidity.

Oh, Viggo. Don't quit. :(

[queenanthai.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that Buffy thing? Never going to happen. They all got too old and Joss is VERY busy writing for and "executive producing" the BUFFY comics. Which, incidentally, are FUCKING AWESOME.

[visceralvamp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this. I mean, SMG and Alyson (and Michelle) could probably pull it off, but Nicholas Brendon? Not so much. And Marsters and Boreanaz have clearly aged, so that's sort of a problem for the whole immortal vampire thing.

[emmaorgana.livejournal.com]

I don't know what I think of Grindlewald-wannabe-boy. He looks kind... floppy. I dunno. I'm very meh on him.

Also, Stay out of Pirates Efron!

[crunknwj.livejournal.com]

new nightmare on elmstreet = do.not.want. i love me some horror movies, but i seriously can't watch that one. it honest to god gives me nightmares. i had to watch it for a film class and despite the fact that i was a) in the library surround by a bunch of people and b) scrolling through most of it just to get the important stuff for the quiz, i still had a fucking panic attack over it.

i won't even click on the link to see who they got. it's bad. *cries*

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Aw! Just Jackie Earle Haley who was Rorschach in Watchmen. I think it's a good choice... which means you'll probably want to stay far away from it.

Life Lessons

[julietvalcouer.livejournal.com]

When you pirate a movie and write a review, make sure that the movie was produced by the media conglomerate you work for. Because then they won't be mad and fire yo' ass. Or not.

Next: reviewer for ABC will pirate the next Pixar film.

[mogumogu.livejournal.com]

Oh, phew. It's just the little siblings getting in on Ponyo on a Cliff. Don't scare me like that.

'cause if Miley or the Jonas Brothers proper were to go anywhere near a Miyazaki film, I'd implode.

[visceralvamp.livejournal.com]

"'cause if Miley or the Jonas Brothers proper were to go anywhere near a Miyazaki film, I'd implode."

YES THIS. Good god.

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

The idea of a renegade movie reviewer makes me lol at the best of times, but that it a) involves Wolverine and b) Fox News stupidity just adds that certain je ne sais quoi that raises it from entertaining to hilarious.

[ppyajunebug.livejournal.com]

Romola as Emma? YAY! I've been wanting a new costume drama...especially since I'm not such a big fan of Wuthering Heights...

Also, Buffy as a mother? Only if her babies are Spike's...

[queenanthai.livejournal.com]

Spike's shootin' blanks, kiddo.

[awanderingbard.livejournal.com]

That Sesame Street thing is awesome. Though the Lion Tamer was swaying off-beat. Perhaps she dances to the beat of her own drum.

Yay for a new Emma! Not that we need another one, really, but I love Jane Austen adaptations.

[krzychk12.livejournal.com]

I, too, am completely surprised the stupidly-titled "Fast and Furious" (really, guys?! just taking out the articles? REALLY?!) is such a success.. but then again, Beverly Hills Chihuahua did well, and I did not see that coming, either.

Reserving judgment on the Grindelwald casting.. he doesn't jive with illustration in the book (not robust enough, methinks) but the actress who played Umbridge didn't either, and she was freakin' fantastic.

[internal666.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm a little skeptical of the whole Buffy movie thing, if there really were talks we would've heard Joss squeeing about it by now.

And really, I kinda don't want one to happen. Like sweetdragon said, everyone's gotten old. And what would it even be about? It would be hard to take something from the comics at this point because they haven't really gotten to the main storyline yet. We don't even know who the big bad IS, let alone what he's actually planning.

And then there's the question of who would WANT to do it, SMG may be game (Which surprises me a lot) but Michelle Trachtenberg? Alyson Hannigan? Anthony Stewart Head? I'm not sure about them.

[internal666.livejournal.com]

I forgot to add, I'm pretty sure Eliza Dushku and Joss himself would be game as well, but only if it didn't interfere with Dollhouse (You know, provided that it's still on the air by then).

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

Oh, they'd better do a WM director's cut!!

I'm actually pretty glad IM2 isn't going with Demon in a Bottle. It's a great storyline, but there's plenty to work with between his origin and that point. And also, it would be weird if he lost his company so soon after becoming Iron Man.

OK, the James Franco video is kinda funny. Heh.

[sturmclan.livejournal.com]

Oh GOD. Thank you for the Jason Isaacs interview link. Just seeing him devolves me into a 16 year old fangirl. He's so delicious. And the jackie Chan story made me laugh so hard I scared my dog out of the room.

[chulacabra.livejournal.com]

Viggo Mortensen has so much going on besides being an actor. I saw an exhibition of his photos and he's damned talented. I don't blame him for bailing on films if they're getting in the way of his other artistic pursuits.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was thinking about how he's got a lot going on. I'm not saying I want him to quit, but I'd be happy for him if he decided that's what he wanted to do.

[orca-girl.livejournal.com]

Wow. Shows what kind of guess-fu I have. Or how much I'm paying attention. I was convinced that the "Wolverine leaked!" thing was an April Fools' joke, because I could swear that's the day the news broke.

It'll make me sad if Viggo quits, but I can respect his reasons. (I hope he makes an exception for a Hobbit cameo, if necessary; I think he's said in the past that he was up for that.)

[ipomoea.livejournal.com]

Today I was in the Half Price Books on S. Lamar here in Austin and a saw a few brand-spanking-new copies of the original hardback print run of M15M for sale there (I'd say there were at least 4 or 5 on the display table, and possibly more over on the shelves). Just thought I'd let you know about it, I know people have been looking for the book and so if any of them happen to be in Austin, they can definitely get it.

[unicornluvr.livejournal.com]

Oohh! I am in Austin, and I have some books to sell to them as well so methinks there is a trip to the store in my Monday-near-future. Thanks for the heads up!

[wolfsilveroak.livejournal.com]

Oh my God. This is one of the stupidest, and by "stupidest" I mean "funniest," things I've ever heard. "Please enjoy this review of a stolen movie that I pirated which was MADE BY THE COMPANY THAT OWNS MY SITE." Way to Darwin yourself out of a job, man.


Wasn't that hilarious? I mean, how freaking stupid can you be???

Quitting Time for Viggo Mortensen?

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

'Nightmare on Elm Street' reboot: Jackie Earle Haley to play Freddy Krueger.

I guess I can see Rorschach playing Freddie.

Will Zac Efron appear in ‘Pirates’ 4?; DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN. Bottom line: "I wish I could confirm it was anything but a rumor, but I haven't heard it."

The gods willing, it'll STAY a rumor.

[swordmage.livejournal.com]

Looking like I'm the only one here - but good for Viggo if he does quit. He's on top, doing well, and I wish him the best.

ETA: and it appears i'm not - so woot!

[lyrangalia]

This linkspam made me go "WHAT?!" so many times.

[sirius20-81.livejournal.com]

I must agree, there is epic fuckwittery in the linkspam tonight. I think everyone in hollywood is off their meds

[mudpuppy83.livejournal.com]

I am totally amused by the announcement of the Star Trek porno.

Part of me now wants to see it, just for the express purpose of finding out if it turns out to be a better Star Trek film than J.J. Abrams is giving us. Because I will laugh most heartily if it does.

Cyrus And Jonas Siblings Team Up For Miyazaki Movie.

The only good I could imagine coming from that, based on the headline alone, was that "Miyazaki Movie" was the actual title of the latest spinoff of Scary Movie. How great would that movie be?
