Well, at least it's nice out

I feel really crappy, probably because the weather's been hideous for several days now, but it's sunny now, so here's an early linkspam so I can go recharge my epidermal solar panels.

(Re: Yesterday's Secret Life: There are a ton of awesome reader-made icons sprinkled through the comments; The Littlest Hat is courtesy of MaggieCat; and TLE is not technically napping [sparklepires don't sleep, if you will recall], so he has actually stopped for a Q-tip snack break, if you look closely.

Old comments come back to haunt Eclipse director David Slade: "Twilight drunk? No, not even drunk. Twilight on acid? No, not even on acid. Twilight at gun point?

Did the package of Twilight convo hearts make it to you?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

It did! I just checked my box yesterday--I was actually trying to dig up the comment where you mentioned it so I could tell you. Thanks!

[khaman.livejournal.com]

I need that statue on LOST to be revealed so that this damn Tawaret thing can die. Be anything. Something made up. Be Alpert. Be Anubis. Be Seth, god, I'd love it if it were that. But not Tawaret. Fat hippo Goddesses don't look like that from the back.

[plazmah.livejournal.com]

My money's still on Anubis. *crosses fingers*

re: Last Voyage of the Demeter

[stokerbramwell.livejournal.com]

This would be movie idea number 64317071 that I wish I had come up with first.

[robinmc.livejournal.com]

Poor David Slade. He, KStew and Rpattz should really form a support group.

Also, I'm totally pulling for Thomas Lennon and Paul Rudd to win Best Kiss.

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

But where is my link titled, "Deadpool spin-off confirmed; Ryan Reynolds cast; will retcon entirety of Wolverine: Origins"?

Oh, wait. That's still just in my dreams!

P.S. Who is Garrett, again?

[maisontv.livejournal.com]

I hear Deadpool is on the shortlist of spin-off movies to be made if Origins did well at the box office (which it obviously did). Ryan was perfect casting and he really seems to love the character.

P.S. Garrett is Emmett's friend who comes to fight in the Cullen Sparkle Army and has a thing with Kate.

This is why I love the MTV Awards:

Anne Hathaway in BRIDE WARS vs. Kate Winslet in The Reader.

Miley Cyrus vs. Freida Pinto

"Jai Ho" vs. A MILEY CYRUS SONG

*cries inside*

[maisontv.livejournal.com]

It's like a big orgy of WTF.

[misachan.livejournal.com]

Is 'Wolverine' the most homoerotic superhero movie ever?

I don't know about ever --- it would have to beat Xavier and Magneto practically being married in the X3 flashbacks, Tony and Rhodey openly flirting in Iron Man, and the Handshake Scene in Watchmen --- but Wolverine and Gambit had great chemistry.

[celticangel76.livejournal.com]

I loved Wolverine except for one thing.... Gambit couldn't keep his southern/creole accent for five seconds. That bugged me BIG TIME as I love that character. I hope to the gods that if they have him in something else they either get that actor a voice coach or cast someone else.

You know Josh Holloway was up for that at one point. Can't you just hear him saying, "Do I owe you money?"

[misachan.livejournal.com]

Gambit's only twenty or so in Origins. Too old for Holloway, even if he'd be a badass Remy.

I'm used to Gambit's accent wandering. Everyone who writes him give him a different one.:)

[queenthesixth.livejournal.com]

I'm glad The Road will finally be released this year. I'm going to make it my business to see it in the cinema.

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

So long! GeoCities is no more. Yeah... I'm gonna need to get those domains back from them.

This saddens me, just because they are part of internet history. Also, lots of ancient fandom stuff (including psychotic fandom stuff) is going to vanish forever. Mind you, I recently saw GeoCities described as, "the abandoned amusement park of the web," so I understand why it has to go.

[greedyskunk.livejournal.com]

Oh, poor Dom DeLuise! I hope they show Cannonball Run on TV to mourn his passing.

[cmdr-zoom.livejournal.com]

Aw, Dom.

[trampchic.livejournal.com]

So in my opinion, MTV missed out on a great opportunity in not nominating Edward Cullen for Best Comedic Performance, because seriously.

[divadeanna.livejournal.com]

LOL That would've been fantastic. I think MTV would be too scared to do it, though, considering how far up the Twifans' butts they are.

[angelene.livejournal.com]

nd was quickly consumed with the rich storytelling and the beautifully honest characters that Stephenie Meyer created.


................ hahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

No wonder he writes comedy.

>:p

[divadeanna.livejournal.com]

Whoa. I'm surprised no one from Equus was nominated for a Tony. And Frank Langella got the snub too, from what I heard. Sad. I love him.

[aestasbeyond.livejournal.com]

Oh Cleo, don't believe it, the zombie strain of the swine flu is totally real. But don't worry, I'll protect you, we will need you in the new world order.

In other news, has anyone else seen the Avon commercial in which they are marketing a prodect that looks eerily similar to the T Virus?

[maisontv.livejournal.com]

The Olay Regenerist Serum commercials always reminded me of those fake Umbrella Corporation commercials they used to advertise the second movie. Creeps me the fuck out...

If Mia Farrow goes much longer without food, she's going to be a stick figure. I mean, more then usual.

AUDREY TAUTOU! <3

And this is extremely weird, but I'm almost jealous for Robert Langdon. I mean, I know the movie relationship was totally different from the book, but...anyway.

I'd love to see her do a quirky movie in english this time, though :) I adored Amelie.

[darth-teca.livejournal.com]

Oh for the love of Pete, MORE Death Note? When will this series just ever END and go AWAY. >X/

[melayka.livejournal.com]

IDK, I'm kind of enjoying the Zefron wank attached to the completely unnecessary ohgod it burns American version. It's the first time I can remember somebody being "cast" for SRS BSNS because he has the exact same hair as an anime character. Kind of beautiful in its crazy, y/y?

[maisontv.livejournal.com]

Hugh Jackman Already Officially Working on Wolverine 2

YESSSSSSS. Do want Wolvie's samurai training! I was just saying that this movie could have been greatly improved by the presence of ninjas. And the whole "way of the samurai" thing is a huge part of Wolverine's character in the comics.

[bumblebee-1983.livejournal.com]

Agreed xinfinity!!

[sugarcages.livejournal.com]

I cried when Constantine was eliminated from American Idol (I know, I know). But I'm glad he's doing ok now!

[chulacabra.livejournal.com]

Do you really think the Twitards are going to freak over Little Ashes? There's been clips and plot synopses all over the net for months. They can't be very shocked by anything in it at this point.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

My understanding is that there's some pretty graphic sex in it--I've heard it described but not actually seen how much is shown, so I'm not sure--and the majority of the fanbase, from what I've seen, is both really conservative and really sheltered. I've already seen some of them get upset about it.

Besides, this is the fandom that was all like "RUSSELL BRAND TALKING OVER RPATTZ IS A **CRIME**!!!" and sent hate mail to the guy after last year's MTV whatevers. They get riled easily, is what I'm saying.

[msilverstar]

Zombie Strain Of Swine Flu Just A Crazy Hoax. ya think?

My record on hoax-catching and wank-analysis is pretty good, I'm rather proud of myself.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Seriously. I mean, it's a great mockup, but... really?

[mudpuppy83.livejournal.com]

Concerning the whole Twilight MTV thing, I'm distressed by the idiocy of Robert Pattinson being nominated for "Best Breakout Performance". Umm, hello? To quote Ripley: "Did IQs drop suddenly while I was away?" Have we really forgotten him in Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire?!

You can't have two breakout performances in a single career!

Also, they invent a new category called "Best WTF Moment" and it's practically the only category where something from Twilight is not nominated? Seriously? "Sparkling vampire" didn't make the list?

[And you just know Forgetting Sarah Marshall will win because male nudity is apparently more disturbing than diving into a pool of human waste]

Lastly, am I the only one amused that the MTV movie awards has a new category--and it's "Best Song"? It's like like AMC announcing a 24-hour marathon of classic American movies.
