A very quick linkspam, because I feel like it, but short because I have a headache:

Cult author JG Ballard dead at 78; 'Empire of the Sun' author J.G. Ballard dies.

EXCLUSIVE: Watch Two Minutes Of Elijah Wood’s Post-Apocalyptic Ragdoll Fest ‘9’! I saw the trailer in front of Watchmen and it was amazing, by the way.

Lost's Michael Emerson Is Just As Creepy/Sweet In Real Life.

Set pics from Bella's birthday party in New Moon (this is where Jasper decides that Bella's flavor is too outrageous to be denied). So keep this in mind when you see the "AP article" about how post-production was "shut down" because Stephenie Meyer was accused of plagiarism. Excuse me, "plagerism." Yes, it's an admitted hoax, although Summit Entertainment also told the Twilight Lexicon officially that it's not true. Hoax more better next time, guys.

Plastic and Plush reviews the Tonner Dumbledore.

Total Recall: The Woman Who Can't Forget.

Man shoots wife in head and himself; he dies, she made tea and greeted deputy.

Meanwhile, it appears that the Secret Life of Dolls has now hit Fandom Secret. Bless.

(I don't know where "three possible candidates" came from, though. Which three are they supposed to be?)

(I'm working on the next one, but... yeah. Headache.)

Michael Emerson is an absolute cutie-pie in real life, and it always throws me for a loop.

[bomburjo.livejournal.com]

I love Michael Emerson so much. His interview with Jimmy Fallon had me giggling the whole time.

[dives.livejournal.com]

Oh Michael Emerson, I love you and your creepy illustrations.


WHUT at that shot-in-the-head story, shades of Phineas Gage there...

[poinsley.livejournal.com]

That story about the woman with the perfect memory is amazing.

[reticent-lass.livejournal.com]

shame about the title, though. Did they have to name it after a film involving Ah-nold on Mars talking to a mutant chest baby?

[hulamoth.livejournal.com]

she made tea?
JFC. Yay for her. I hope she recovers quickly.


this is where Jasper decides that Bella's flavor is too outrageous to be denied
hahahaha, yes. You are making me so pumped SO PUMPED for New Moon and I'm one of those hating Twilight peoples too

[lalumena.livejournal.com]

They do say tea is a coping mechanism...?

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

I love that they made the Dumbledore doll based on the orginal and far better Dumbledore!

That story about the woman shot in the head is amazing! Karma shows that once again, it is a bitch.

[ktbass.livejournal.com]

Is it just me, or does the Dumbledore doll look a hell of a lot more like Ian McKellen than either Richard Harris or Michael Gambon.

[glenvorian.livejournal.com]

I noticed that, too!

... even when I saw that new HBP trailer, it made me think of Ian. >.>

[emmaorgana.livejournal.com]

That memory article was fascinating. Thank you for posting that.

[glenvorian.livejournal.com]

I'm a bit jealous of that woman - I wish my memory was half as good.

[scornedsaint.livejournal.com]

I'm going to have nightmares about Michael Emerson reading "Little Boy Blue" now.

[le-brouillard.livejournal.com]

Christ, I think that Dumbledore doll's hair is longer than mine!

[glenvorian.livejournal.com]

It's as long as mine, and it's almost right at my waist. xD

[maudelynn.livejournal.com]

I wish Jasper would decide my flavour couldn't be denied... although I am more of a grapefruit jasmine kind of girl than a freesia/heather kind of chick

[trash-addict.livejournal.com]

I spend a good portion of my day puzzling over the shot-in-the-head-tea lady yesterday.

I'm pretty sure that my Mum is just addicted enough to tea to do something similar ;)

9 is basically the only movie coming out this year that I care about at all.

[saramiskismet.livejournal.com]

The trailer is ::stunning::. It's one of three I care about.

[saramiskismet.livejournal.com]

Byrd said the bullet apparently passed through the lobes of the woman's brain without causing major damage

IS ANYONE ELSE THINKING OF COLONEL AURELIANO BUENDIA IN ASTONISHMENT?

[saintawesome.livejournal.com]

I cannot deal with Jasper's Confederate bouffant. What is going ON with that wig? Other than shame and hilarity, that is.

[maudelynn.livejournal.com]

yeah, it is a bad wig... bless. And I think Southern boys would object to that shag, hair wise, I mean

department chairperson Dr. Peter Benton

[mustangsally78.livejournal.com]

I guess nobody watched the first eight seasons of ER!

This makes Eriq La Salle cry.

9 looks like it might pan out to be the next Dark Crystal. These days, it's as if movies are afraid to give kids nightmares. I mean The Two Towers isn't a kid's movie, but when one of the Ents is set on fire, we see him put it out later, so he's all right. We do not see even one Ent get ripped apart by Uruk-hai; they're all fine. Nothing to be scared of, pat the little LoTR fans on the head.

The Dark Crystal was, at least nominally, a children's movie. But when the Landstriders fight the Garthim to the edge of the cliff, they go over the side, the two big ones and the little baby one. Yes, it's puppets, but it's loss. TDE is the kind of movie that keeps a nine-year-old awake and staring into the dark and when he does wake up, he's got that empty place inside him where he's afraid to go, and when he goes there he has a chance to create something.

So the question is this: Is 7 really okay or did she just go over the side? Because it doesn't look like she went over the side.

[tabbyclaw.livejournal.com]

I assume she's really okay, just because the trailers seem to paint her as a significant character and this footage is probably from early in the movie.

[thor-axegrinder.livejournal.com]

Man shoots wife in head and himself; he dies, she made tea and greeted deputy.

Sounds like inspiration for a horror story. Or at least a parody of one.

Unsolicited advice

I am a complete lurker- In fact this may be my first post to you. I just want to say as much as I love SLOD I also don't want you to burn out. Even my favorite tv shows go on summer hiatus! If you need a creative break or a palate cleanser take it or work on something else. No one will howl too loudly I'm sure.

Enjoy the spring time!

[genmaicha.livejournal.com]

9! Oh, 9!

[jubilantia.livejournal.com]

I saw the trailer for "9" as a trailer in front of Coraline, and it looks pretty amazing.

And as for the "three candidates", I think they must be thinking of Faramir 2, but I can't think of anybody else obvious. Although you've mentioned doll death, I don't really see it going there. Hopefully.

[constancedh.livejournal.com]

I would KILL for that Dumbledore doll.

[khaman.livejournal.com]

Any new Emerson article makes me happy.

I DENY ALL KNOWLEDGE OF THE FANDOM SECRETS. But I did say it would just be a matter of time.
