Not a great day, but not bad, either

Two things first:

1) After a few nights of feverish procrastination copypasta coding, I finally have a Secret Life of Dolls read-through for you. You can jump in anywhere you want and, by means of hitting "next" or "previous" as you wish, read the entire saga from beginning to end or end to beginning. That's all you right there.

2) Trufax:

@cleolinda: Okay, since at least six people will have my back: the best song from any Grease movie. Yes it is. YES, IT IS. http://tinyurl.com/dfu6w4
@cleolinda: Yes, that is Michelle Pfeiffer riding a ladder. I think this argument is done.

The Terrorists Won When 'Glitter' Bombed.

Didn't we all win, really?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Heh, that's what I was thinking.

[headphone.livejournal.com]

I just watched Grease 2 the other day...and I sincerely hope that it is Michelle Pfeiffer singing, because if that voice is a replacement that is better than her-I SHUDDER TO THINK.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I really truly think that's her singing. I mean, it sounds like her.

[painter-girl227.livejournal.com]

Just so you know, you are a GENIUS!!! i LOVE Secret Life of Dolls...it is the one thing i truly look forward to during monotonous school days. ^_^

thank you for being made of win!

Yup, definitely the best "Grease" song. *grin*

I'm kinda really totally stoked about the Macgruber movie. Fuck yeah Will Forte.

[hulamoth.livejournal.com]

yes, of course the Michelle Pfeiffer one was better. How this can be questioned is beyond me. And her motorcycling boyfriend? >>>>>>>> Danny Devito

[wenelda.livejournal.com]

MacGruber's been the only thing on SNL (besides Justin Timberlake's appearances) to make me laugh in a really long time... Yeah, I would see it.

Quileute Nation Hires PR Professional;

Oh thank God. Because you know people are going to be stupid enough to think that the whole thing's based on actual legends and at least one dorkass is going think it's goddamned real.

I don't want to be the guy stuck answering their phones, that's all I have to say.

no way!

[keeps3.livejournal.com]

those abs are NOT real. they can't be! I refuse to believe..

Man, I wish Hot Toys dolls were not so expensive. I am still saving up for an Iron Man, and now they are probably doing a whole line of Watchmen? I should just rob a bank.

How About An Animated Movie With A Female Lead Who Isn't A Princess?



(I agree with most of the article, but she failed to get a mention, which I thought was a ghastly oversight.)

[callie-girl.livejournal.com]

But Disney has marketed Mulan as a Princess in her own right - though a B-list one. She's rarely featured along with the A-team of Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Belle. Still, according to the Disney marketing machine, she's a Princess.

First, Cool Rider is the shit. Second, thanks for the read-through. I want to get my TwiMom to read these (she liked your Movies in 15 Minutes of Twilight) and having them in order will help. Plus, all I have to say is "Edward's in it" and she's interested. I'm considering showing her the TwiMoms message board and explaining how a board works and how to post on one. She already watches the movie nearly everyday and at least this way she can be social with her own kind.

Related: I am seriously afraid she's going to wonder why everyone's always being so mean to Tonner Edward.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

... awww? Like, seriously, I don't know how to describe the sound I just made. It was mostly tinged with pity? I'm not sure which one of you it was for?

(Well, tell her that we're gearing up for his redemption arc. Which is true. It'd be interesting to see how someone who sincerely likes the Edward Cullen character would react to the Edward doll characters, though.)

[rina2o6.livejournal.com]

I will completely back you up on that being the best song from Grease! I don't know if it was just that I watched it more frequently, but I would totally pick Grease 2 over the original when I was little. I might be weird, I don't know.

You're also right that there aren't going to be any more original movies ever, ever again. Studios think its smarter to bank a lot of money on the 11th something or the reboot of this rather than present an audience with a brand new idea. Balls to that, I say.

[harveypenguin.livejournal.com]

I am SO EXCITED for the MacGruber movie, you don't even know.

[chulacabra.livejournal.com]

Grease 2 was one of those movies that got run to death on HBO back in the day so I think I've seen it at least 40 times. Michelle was the shit doing that song, and Maxwell Caufield was the hotness back then (not so much now. The years have not been kind to him).

Meanwhile, I love this from the article on muscle-bound RPattz:

Lutz tells the New York Daily News, "Taylor been training Rob a lot, and that's why he's got such ripped abs..."

And thus a thousand slash fics were launched.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah... that kind of raised my eyebrow. That's a whole lotta good hoyay wasted on Twifandom, I tell you what. Most of them wouldn't know what to do with slash if it bit 'em in the ass.

[manekikoneko.livejournal.com]

The Silk Specter doll looks realistic... but not much like Malin Ackerman :S

[dramedy.livejournal.com]

Personally, Reproduction is my favorite song from any Grease movie (followed by Cool Rider then You're the One that I Want then Hopelessly Devoted to You). XD

[aliaspiral.livejournal.com]

Where does the pollen go?

[internal666.livejournal.com]

Some of us are more than hurt over the mess that was X-3, some of us are a little upset, and it's going to take a lot more than an "I'm sorry" for some of us to get over it.

A proper Dark Phoenix movie for starters, one without a bunch of random characters thrown in, one where Phoenix doesn't die from a little stab wound.

And I can't seem to upload any new userpics even though I have another slot free, so I'll have to use Willow as a powerful redhead substitute.

What Will A ‘Deadpool’ Solo Movie Involve? Co-Creator Rob Liefeld Shares His Thoughts

Oh, and I'd take Singer back to the X-franchise in a hot second. He wasn't perfect, but his results were freaking masterpieces compared with the stuff that came after. Brett Ratner killed my fandom!

[maramala.livejournal.com]

I still miss that community. So much lulz, gone forever.

And totally add my vote for Singer. He didn't kill the franchise, people!

How About An Animated Movie With A Female Lead Who Isn't A Princess?

But what would an animated female lead do if she's not a princess?!

[jubilantia.livejournal.com]

My friend and I discussed this at length today, and came up with: spying, policing in a world like ours but with monsters, being an astronaut (time-travelling if at all possible), archaeology... I know there are more, and whatever Pixar does will be awesome. Still, I don't have anything particular against princesses- I grew up right smack dab in the middle with Belle, so maybe that's why. Although she's not technically a princess...

[sunraven.livejournal.com]

Hey Cleo, I was reading a webcomic today and came across this page. I thought it was hilarious and that you might enjoy it.

I probably need to say this more often, but Cleo, you rock! Can't believe there have been so many entries for SLoD.

Also, astronauts = ♥ ♥ ♥ , and Studio Ghibli pwns both Pixar and Disney in the awesome non-princess heroine stakes.

Holy wah, did you read my mind? I was surfing a bit today to read SLoD from the beginning, but was getting a little lost, and wham, you post it! Thanks!
