At all. Meanwhile: Entertainment Tonight New Moon Preview Number 2; Alexandre Desplat doing the score this time; Jamie Campbell Bower Tweeting Away. Buried in this story is the far more important fact that Michael Sheen, who is awesome, has a Twitter as well. And in case you missed it yesterday: Stephenie Meyer Lawsuit Story is bogus.

Eeeeeeeeeeevil!!!

[glenvorian.livejournal.com]

Torturing us is half the fun, though. :P

I know your seeecreeet!! (At least, I think you mentioned the doll you won on, uh, that place where you mention these things. *winks, taps nose* ) Does this mean I have power over you now?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I don't think I actually mentioned which one it was this time, though.

[elizardbits.livejournal.com]

A wee little disturbed part of my mind is really hoping that this new and quasi-rare doll is actually an Earring Magic Ken.

IDEFK THIS PROSPECT MAKES ME GIGGLE FOOLISHLY AND FRANKLY THIS IS ALARMING.

[emmaorgana.livejournal.com]

I preferred Shaving Fun Ken, myself.

[aka-paloma.livejournal.com]

Buried in this story is the far more important fact that Michael Sheen, who is awesome, has a Twitter as well.

That, more than anything (or anyone), is sorely tempting me to start Twittering... uh, Tweeting... whatever. (Clearly, I'll be very good at it too, since I have NO IDEA what I'm talking about. My technopeasantry, let me show you it.)

[missjessica.livejournal.com]

I was not excited about the X-Men movie until now. My advertising company handles Fox and throwing this premiere in one week (!!) is going to be the craziest week in my little interning life.

[emmaorgana.livejournal.com]

I will probably by that xkcd book. I friggin love those stupid stick figures.

[linwenilid.livejournal.com]

So do I, so badly. They make me laugh even hours after. Too bad I can't get the book: it'd be awesome.

[rina2o6.livejournal.com]

Agggh Alexandre Desplat is doing the New Moon score? I listen to instrumental music when I wrote, so its mostly film scores and I have some of his stuff - its beautiful, but I just can't imagine his Adagio of Death by Sparkling In The Vampire Capital (No, Really) or Elegy to A Fickle Romeo. The allegro to In Summary, She Did Jump Off a Cliff, I would listen to though

[robinmc.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHA.

[miss-eponine.livejournal.com]

I don't know if this has ever come up before, but today I was looking on Amazon for your book for the ISBN to see if I could order it for my library (I can't, woe), and when I searched by your name, three things came up. The first two were your book and the repackaged book, and the third was The Gift of Fear. I know you pimp that book a lot, but for the life of me, I couldn't figure out why it brought that up. Do you know why?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I saw that--the only thing that I can think of is that a lot of people ordered it through my affiliate account there?

[robinmc.livejournal.com]

MICHAEL SHEEEEEEEEN! IS ON TWITTERRRRRRR! Should I be less excited about this? I think I probably should be...

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

And he even replies to people!

[athenaktt.livejournal.com]

Because of SLoD I was reminded of a bunch of dolls I wanted to buy 10 years ago, so I spent the last week bidding on too many dolls. Now I'm might cry when my bills come in this week.

Even though Ebay is Evil for my wallet... the glee the comes with winning at the last second is so fulfilling! So I share your glee in winning! :D

New Dean Koontz Novel Proves Book Critics Are Evil.

Well I suppose being evil is more flattering than being mauled to death by grass-dogs.

As for the Hellraiser remake, ugh. Please please please don't turn Barker's chilly madness into a generic gore flick.

[rahrahmah.livejournal.com]

I am the only person on earth who likes Lady in the Water. And even I thought that scene was stupid. And I can totally accept the idea of grass dogs.

Like, did nobody take him aside and say something like, "Look, Dean. I get what you're saying. And you have every right to say it! But maybe make him a film critic or something, going after a director. It's just a little...personal."

[bruinhilda.livejournal.com]

For some reason, I laughed harder at that Dragonball funeral video than I have at anything in weeks. Of course, I'm an anime fan (though not into Dragonball), and can kinda see doing something like that. If a bunch of other people go with, of course.

[syrika182.livejournal.com]

TEMPE?! I LIVE IN PHOENIX ALREADY.

But I have a concert to perform at that night.

WHY ME? WHYYYYY?

...I wonder if I could skip out. Hugh Jackman, or band concert? Hmm...

[fineprnt.livejournal.com]

HUGH. JACKMAN.

Er... not that I'm projecting on you for not living close enough to go or anything.

[kitrinlu.livejournal.com]

Number of dolls I am keeping secret from you guys: back up to 2

OMG, 50 thousand kinds of squee! :)


I wonder if it's wrong how very much I want to see a vampire teeth c-section on the big screen? >:)

[fineprnt.livejournal.com]

Personally I think they're going to tone it wayyyy down. I mean, I know it'll be (theoretically) the last movie and lots of people will already be committed to "finishing the sage," but can you imagine the moms and their reactions to their teenage daughters seeing that the way it was written?

[tabbyclaw.livejournal.com]

I live less than two hours from Tempe and April 27th is my birthday. Now if only I cared about this movie at all.

Having made an ass of myself for it before, I'll champion it forever in misplaced disgrace

[mdmbrightside.livejournal.com]

Though the new Trick 'r Treat trailer is identical to the previous trailer, the very pleasant surprise is the end announcement of the film being released on DVD & Blu-Ray this October!!1

Though I'm trying to keep my thrill in check as Warner Bros has promised releases of TrT before. But two years of waiting and faithfulness may yet pay off! Sure, it's not the longest anyone waited to see a movie, but it's the longest I've waited to see a completed movie.

[gwynnywonk.livejournal.com]

Awwww heeellls no! I really wanted Alexander Skarsgaard to be Thor... I'm holding out for him just being cagey about it.

A LITTLE HELP HERE

[beaulieu-hill.livejournal.com]

I'M THINKING ABOUT JOINING TWITTER JUST TO FOLLOW MICHAEL SHEEN, WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

(damn that ridiculously awesome man, I swore to never join that tomfoolery)

Re: A LITTLE HELP HERE

[aka-paloma.livejournal.com]

SHUSH, YOU! THAT KIND OF TALK WILL ONLY WEAKEN MY WILL AS I VALIANTLY STRUGGLE AGAINST SIGNING UP.

(I've also sworn to never join that tomfoolery.)

[snowwhite2421.livejournal.com]

okay so don't quote me, but the weird hollywood rumor re: THOR that I had heard a while back was that they were looking at Kevin McKidd (Dr. McKillYouInYourSleep on Grey's Anatomy) to play Thor.

This seems incongruous and stupid and I can only hope it isn't true, but the rumor was out there nonetheless.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Huh. Well, I loved him on Rome.

X-treme Kansas College of Dentistry!!

[reticent-lass.livejournal.com]

XKCD BOOK. Sweet Summer Glau in a sundress I want this so hard. I've printed out like thirty strips and stuck them all over my binders and everyone I know thinks I'm nuts.

Re: X-treme Kansas College of Dentistry!!

[linwenilid.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't a book actually confirm it? ;)

[flaxenescapee.livejournal.com]

Everyone should see '17 Again', it was hilarious. The entire thing was one big Star Wars joke, seriously. x]

[flaxenescapee.livejournal.com]

And wait-- Noooooooooooooooooooooo Dr. Hawking!!!!! I'm an astronomy nerd and therefore love him! :(

[linwenilid.livejournal.com]

I don't know, it sounds kind of generic. "The lost... symbol... whatever... thing. Hey, look over there! The church is evil!"

My thoughts exactly on anything Dan Brown.

Camping with Harry and Hermione in Scotland for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Was it you who said at one point that the camping scenes would work best as a montage? I've been fully on board with that and was thinking that realistically that's probably what they'd do but seeing this headline reminded me that Steve Kloves' love for Harry/Hermione rivals that of Mr. Weasley's for plugs and batteries. Scenes where Ron writes himself out? Dude must be having a field day.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think I said that at some point. You know how Fellowship of the Ring has this montage between the gang leaving Rivendell and then whatever the next scene is? Yeah. Like that. Except shorter.

And yeah... I'm already sorry we don't have the OOTP screenwriter staying on.

[pietoro (from livejournal.com)]

I really enjoyed 'The Lovely Bones'. Great book. I have high hopes for the movie.

The artwork for the Pride and Prejudice comic is horrendously bad, imo. Terrible style.

[persian-freak.livejournal.com]

No ‘Thor’ For Alexander Skarsgard?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *sobs*
Why God, whyyyyyy??

[beaulieu-hill.livejournal.com]

it is very simple, I have no more reason to go see this now.
