Y'all, I don't wanna do a damn thing tonight. It took me this long to do a simple linkspam, Adam Lambert's got steel cage shoulder pads on, and I haven't even had dinner yet.

ETA re: American Idol: Aaaaand my mother is rending her garments downstairs. Even Kris Allen is just standing there shaking his head over and over ("Adam deserves this!"), because he knows he's going to get his ass kicked. Like, even Adam is standing there laughing at him. Oh my God, this poor guy. Congratulations on winning The Guy Who Wasn't Supposed to Beat Adam Lambert, Kris!

I loved that jacket. I pictured him mugging a JRocker and running off with it cackling. (curses! Of all the times not to have a Gackt icon!)

Of course, who knows who that J-Rocker mugged it off of... XD

I thought you were joking. I should know better by now, shouldn't I?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Holy shit. I'm so sad that I said that without even looking at the choices, and I was still right.

[crumpeteer.livejournal.com]

Vampire Diaries. Which is in NO WAY riding off the popularity of Twilight. IN NO WAY. It's merely a coincidence that they're sitting in a tree. I REPEAT, NOT A KNOCK OFF!

Meanwhile, why is Ian Somerhalder suddenly a dead ringer for Eric McCormick? FIX YOUR HAIR, BOONE.

Vampire diaries=FAIL

[greenfairy-87.livejournal.com]

You know what's really sad? Elena is a blue-eyed blonde in the books and in the TV she's a brown-eyed brunette. Also: Stefan and Damon aren't 200 years old, they're at least 500. And I say this having barely gotten through the frist book and stopping there due to how much a pathetic Mary Sue Elena is (dumping your friends for a guy you barely know! Always getting saved by him in the knick of time! He's a vampire, but he feeds off animals!) It's like Twilight was a coplete rip off of VDs, (yes, I like that abbreviation) only with LESS character motivation and writing style.

[wellowned.livejournal.com]

that scarlett johansen and gwyneth paltrow drama is so blah....


but i should just say that seriously?? i love zach quinto. he's a little tiny package of awesome. as is that boondock saints sequel. nothing but love.

[anonymeet.livejournal.com]

ICON LOVE!

[insomniacafe547.livejournal.com]

I don't wanna do anything, either. Probably not a good mindset to have, because I've got a final exam tomorrow (!!!)

Anyway, you don't have to do a damn thing tonight as long as you do plenty tomorrow night (*cheeky grin*)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

... what's tomorrow night?

[mogumogu.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, another hollow, soulless, corporate movie adaptation that remakes an old franchise's sound that has a plot about hollow, soulless, corporate types ruining a franchise by making it not be true to itself.

New '9' Trailer: It's the Ragdoll 'Terminator Salvation'

We so cannot wait to go see this.

New '9' Trailer: It's the Ragdoll 'Terminator Salvation'

I thought that the moment I saw the first trailer.

I actually don't want to watch this one. I want the backstory to be a surprise, because that's half the fun.

[ppyajunebug.livejournal.com]

The reason I'm not totally flipping a shit over Adam not winning:

Now he doesn't have to sing that godawful song and has abut 70000000 times more freedom with his first album.

Also, it's all Gokey and his wholesome fans' fault. DAMN YOU GOKEY.

This is TWICE that my Idol winner predictions have been wrong. I was gleeful last year when I was wrong, but this year all I keep saying is "The internet is going to burn the hell down tonight, isn't it?" ONTD is probably asploding as I type.

(But on the plus: OMG THEY ARE HAVING AUDITIONS IN DALLAS THIS YEAR, I MIGHT GO AGAIN.)

[insomniacafe547.livejournal.com]

Heh. I remember that video of those girls screaming and crying b/c Archuleta didn't win.

I predict something similar this year.

[diddakoi.livejournal.com]

I think Twilight may be stalking me. First last summer I vacation in Port Angeles and drive through Forks, only to learn of the Twilight phenomenon after my return. Now I just got back from Italy on Sunday, to find out that they're filming New Moon in Montepulciano, which we definitely drove right past...

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Oh, Lord.

... where are you going next?

DISTRICT 9! *cheers*

[reticent-lass.livejournal.com]

God, I want to see this film so fucking much but I'm kinda :/ that a movie set in Joburg looks set to have a Great White Hope protagonist. They couldn't find any black South Africans?

[flameraven.livejournal.com]

Wait wait wait whaaaaat? Ghostbusters 3? Seriously? I mean, Indiana Jones 4 was pretty good (I was convinced it was gonna suck), but Ghostbusters? AND Footloose? Just how many 80's franchises are we going to try to breathe life into?

Although...mm, Boondock Saints sequel. :3 Normally I hate action movies but that one was fantastic. I blame the Irish accents. They make everything better.

Don't forget GI Joe and Transformers!

First time I watched AI. I'm surprised, but not upset. Kris is excellent as an acoustic rock/songwriter artist. And now he won't be forever in Adam's shadow, and the allegations that the judges, etc, were leaning things too far in Adam's favor have no impact now that it's Kris that won. Adam is almost guaranteed a career out of this.

(I did still root for Adam. Turns out one of my friends went to high school with him.)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hee, yeah. Adam does seem like a really nice, cool guy. I just got so sick of the show kissing his ass because it wasn't even subtle. So it really cracks me up that it didn't even WORK.

THAT was the New Moon poster? Srsly?

[greenfairy-87.livejournal.com]

And I thought the first one looked horribly photoshopped...what's hilarious is that if they posed just a bit differently and the background was white, it'd be like the Sixteen Candles poster...oh dear god, I just gave new meaning to its tagline, "It's the time of your life that may last a lifetime."

[guinevere33.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, Zachary Quinto doesn't use capital letters. There goes my incipient celebrity crush...

[greedyskunk.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am displeased about that, too. However, he seems to use correct grammar and punctuation beyond that fault. He also has interesting things to say, so I am prepared to forgive him.

[divadeanna.livejournal.com]

RE: Idol

Can I just say that Adam and Kris closing the show with Queen kind of made my week? When Adam sang with KISS, I turned to by bf and jokingly said, "I don't see how anything is going to top this, unless Kris comes out and sings with Queen or something." You have no idea how hard I fangirled when it actually happened. lol

[mein-zwitter.livejournal.com]

That's exactly what happened when I watched it with my mom! My boyfriend just had unfortunate timing and called right in the middle of our squeal-fest. Poor guy.

The whole KISS performance had me flailing around like a nutjob. I think that's a first for me, at least as far as Idol is concerned! XD

Kevin Smith On Trying To ‘Breathe New Life’ Into The Buddy Cop Genre With ‘A Couple of Dicks.’

Excuse me there, Mr Smith, but Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg already succeeded back in 2007 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0425112/).

[kokopellinelli]

I have such a huge crush on Simon Pegg because of Hot Fuzz.

[mudpuppy83.livejournal.com]

Wow, watching that trailer for V just reminds me of how much Godzilla: Final Wars ripped off the original miniseries (and probably the TV series and the second miniseries, but I haven't seen them yet). I still love Final Wars, but damn is it unoriginal. [Basically it's V, The Matrix, X-Men, Return of the Jedi, Independence Day, and The Last Dragon all thrown in a blender--but with Godzilla and shitload of monsters for him to fight, in case you were wondering]

On the one hand, I really want to see V. On the other...

Well, it's nice that it looks like they might be playing down the heavy-handed Nazi allegory of the original miniseries. Even though I'm glad there's still keeping the "Hmm, these invaders are evil and planning to annihilate the human race, OH MY GOD THEY'RE UGLY LIZARD PEOPLE! KILL THEM!" aspect, if only because I love me a good space lizard. (Wonder if these guys ever teamed up with the Gorn)

However, it's groan worthy that they missed the point of the show's title. It's not called V because that's the name of the aliens--it's called V because of "V For Victory"! It's about the uprising against a hugely powerful oppressor, hence the resistance spray painting "V" all over everything.

Still, I'm hooked already.

Funniest moment of the night:

When it's announced that Kris Allen has to sing No Boundaries again. Straight up, watch it again. He shoots a look at Glambert, and Glambert gives him a "NYAH NYAH" face.

Here. Have some manlove.



And here. Have it even slower.



I swear. Glambert put his tongue in Kris Allen's ear.

MANLOVE, I TELL YOU.

Oh, and also...

Chace Crawford in Footloose? Half the time, I can't even tell him and Zefron apart!

completely random but

i was thinking about vampires when a commercial for 'drag me to hell' came on, and it made me think that i REALLY want sam raimi to direct breaking dawn.

opinions?

Re: completely random but

[emmy-scarlet.livejournal.com]

Only if Bruce Campbell could be in it somehow. Because Bruce Campbell makes everything better, and if anyone could save the trainwreck that is Breaking Dawn, it would be him.

[oohasparklie.livejournal.com]

I seriously can't believe Kris won. After all of that (deserved) Adam hype. Wow. (Not that Kris isn't good in his own right, but over Adam? WTF?)
