(Hello, new unlurkers! A few folks mentioned getting LJ accounts so as to comment on that entry, so welcome aboard and enjoy your stay.)

Meanwhile, I am hearing disturbing rumors that NECA might not put out The Littlest Bella until JULY. Y'all... I am gonna be so screwed if I have to tread water on this for another three months. I am trying very hard not to email them like a wingnut and plead for information.

Meanwhile-meanwhile, I've been clenching my jaw again, fnarr. Got a lot of work done today, though (which is probably why).

Oh man I have to agree. I loved that his live version pretty much sounded like his studio recording. I don't really like the personality he's trying to present (well maybe not dislike, but just indifferent to it) but I gotta give him props for his vocal skills.

Hello! Recent delurker here, been following your blog off and on since Phantom in 15m but am currently entralled in SLoD, especially after the newest arrival (Holy shit! It's all on!). Just had to point out that you've no reason to be ashamed of listening to the Phantom Soundtrack, considering that both me & my flatmate go about our daily business with it on our iPods. Oh, and a friend of mine used to work at a pub where she would occasionally play it. I think the manager told her to stop doing that, because, for whatever reason, boozy old men don't like Andrew Lloyd Webber. *shrugs*
Their loss.

Dude, the original PIRANHA is an awesome movie (Paul Bartel! Kevin McCarthy! Barbara Steele!) Shue should be so lucky!

"Richard Jenkins joins Julia Roberts in 'Eat, Pray, Love' movie."

I read that as Richard Dawkins, causing a serious 'WUT' moment. I maintain that I might actually want to see that version.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sure--I've had a couple of requests to link to Save Chuck stuff, so I need to post it anyway. : )

Doesn't Vahalla Rising sound like an epic name for a death metal band?

And Mads Mikkleson will always be "Tristan with the samurai helmet and bird" to me.

Woody is totally awesome!

I have just made a thing and sent it off to you (here's hoping it doesn't get lost in the sea of last-minute tax returns), but have uncharacteristically *not* taken a picture of it for fear of being unable to contain my squee (oh, ye ghods and little fishes, what has become of me?). I hope you like it. :)

[robinmc.livejournal.com]

I try not to think about Breaking Dawn as a movie. I just...I don't see how anyone (actors or audience) could possibly get through any of those scenes with a straight face. I tried to tell myself "well, Michael Sheen could bring much needed dignity to the final not-showdown..." but really, unless they just embrace the camp and hire John Waters, I think it's just gonna be one of those "so bad it's bad" things.

"fffffff-actually, to me that sounds like a reasonable fee for being Mel Gibson's wife"

AHAHAHAHAHA!

O HAI. Re: TBE's hair? I hope you noticed this fellow did an edward/bella repaint, and the hair is fantastic! (and trimmed!) Perhaps a little snippage would help the situation?

But I REALLY would not like to see JRM (in all his awesomeness) as a fat slob that Henry VIII becomes.

How to Piss Off Iron Man at 'The Soloist' Press Conference

LMFAO. I love the horrible inevitability of that situation. Seriously, raise your hand if you can actually get through a commercial for that movie without thinking "YOU NEVER GO FULL RETARD!" at least once.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I was like, dude, you can't blame the guy for asking. You're gonna get asked that question A LOT.

'The Tudors' to end in 2010.


This is to be expected. After all, they won't have any more wives to go through after Catherine Parr and then Henry dies, so, really, what's the point in continueing?

I can happily send you a spare box of Twilight conversation hearts if you want 'em. Otherwise they're just going to sit in the back of the pantry for years at this rate. I should've only gotten one box to try 'em - turns out they're not for me, taste-wise. ^_^;

...They are, however, hilarious. XD

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hee, awesome. My PO box is on my user info page, if you really do want to send 'em on.

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

Yay, thanks! I love the show. :)

[barrelgoddess.livejournal.com]

Sweet, thank you! ♥ *is also a huge Chuck fan*

[beaulieu-hill.livejournal.com]

Now that Michael was cast they should just make the whole movie about Aro (who wouldn't love backstory, anyway?) and then just give Bella and Sparklepire like five minutes... the Volturi are obviously where the real actors are anyway...
