A couple of things

[cleolinda]

Let's take a look at the Cosmo Bedside Astrologer, shall we? Because I spent a good hour this morning snickering over this.

@cleolinda: Heh, Cosmo's 2010 Bedside Astrologer supplement. Always entertaining in a "This is so not a life I will ever lead" way.

@cleolinda: http://twitpic.com/soa7s - All of this is going to happen. I totally believe it.

"Under energetic Jupiter, you're not ready for the holiday-party season to end. On the 20th, organize a night out with a competitive edge, like bowling." Sexy bowling.

Also, "solo sex" is recommended for April.

(Just April?)

@cleolinda http://twitpic.com/soajj - NO, COSMO

@PhurieDae: @cleolinda Sorry, all I can see on that horoscope spread is Superintimate Octopus.

@cleolinda: Apparently my "spiciest" match would be a Leo, like... Daniel Radcliffe. COSMO, Y U DO THIS?

@cleolinda: My "sweetest" would be an Aries, like... Hayden Christensen. I give up.

@count_01: @cleolinda At first, it was all right, you're a Potter fan. Now a pattern emerges, and you sound like more of a creepy pedo/cougar.

@cleolinda: @count_01 Okay, first off, no, it was NEVER all right. Not Harry Potter! I reviewed the first movie when I was 22 and he was A BABY.

@cleolinda: @count_01 AT LEAST THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME ZAC EFRON OKAY

He's all yours, Libras.

@cleolinda: http://twitpic.com/sob15 - Interestingly, I'm a Virgo ascendant.

I have to admit, "Your Guilty Pleasure: Being a Bad Girl" made me laugh, because "getting a huge kick out of shocking friends with occasional naughty exploits" is not too far off "being mostly prim on the internet, except for really filthy jokes now and then, just to keep people on their toes."

@cleolinda: I do like how the Virgo one is specifically like, "He has to be able to fix your PC." WHERE WERE YOU DURING THE COMPOCALYPSE.

Secondly, I feel like we need to have a little linkspam.

Exclusive: The villain's song from Disney's 'THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG.'

The Snow Queen is One of Disney's Next Hand-Drawn Films.

Peter Jackson Provides an Interesting Update on 'Temeraire.'

'The Lovely Bones': Hitchcock Meets Dali In Purgatory. 

EXCLUSIVE: Here's What Ryan Reynolds Wants From A 'Deadpool' Trailer.

First Teaser Poster for 'Twilight Saga: Eclipse.' (It's a hi-res version of the one I posted a couple of weeks ago. YEAH, I PAID FOR THE TWILIGHT TRACKER iPHONE APP, BITE ME. Believe me, you can't hate me anymore than I hate myself.)

"There is a fiercely protective immortal hero who longs for your heart AND HIS NAME IS JESUS."

New NECA figures! 1) The Littlest Jasper is portrayed in the throes of Mad Hair Disease. 2) The Littlest Jacob is freakishly lifelike. For real. It's kind of disturbing. 3) WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THE EDWARD. SERIOUSLY. They HAVE a perfectly decent likeness on file! (This would be their... third Edward figure now, I think? Not counting Edward 1.2, Sunglasses Edward?) For those of you who did not see the movie, the little shirt rip is to represent the hole in his soul now that Bella is dead ("dead") or something, whatever. Look, go catch up. Also: "SPARKLE MOTION!" I can't tell if that's a joke or a feature--oh my God, I literally just now noticed this--they're listed as "Edward" and "Sparkle Edward"! It IS a feature! As are crossed eyes. PAINT MORE BETTER, NECA. OH MY GOD. I don't think The Shelf will be able to handle any of this.

ETA: Tonner Bella is selling out and NEW MOON TONNER BELLA WILL BE OUT SOON. And yet, I STILL HAVE NO ALICE.

Okay, the Littlest Jacob is CREEPY. Just...no! Can you IMAGINE what someone might get up to with that?

And you did NOT just compare Jesus to a vampire, did you book? I THINK YOU DID. OH NO YOU DIDN'T.

<3 this icon! Hatter ftw!

[gannet-guts.livejournal.com]

SNOW QUEEN. I love The Snow Queen!!! EEEE.

[sarcasticwriter.livejournal.com]

I was going to say the same thing, but is there any possible way they're not going to fuck it up by introducing some goofy comic relief and overly chipper protagonists?

The Snow Queen is a serious, beautiful fairytale. What's the likelihood any of its pathos will make it to the screen (and through the marketing machine)?

[julietvalcouer.livejournal.com]

So am I the only one at least mildly creeped out by the fact that in some shots, the villain in the Princess And The Frog is costumed as freakin' Baron Samedi? Seriously, black top hat, black suit, white skull face? Are they TRYING to bring the wrath of the lwa down on the production? And then if they make any toys out of him...if I ever had the time (or owned enough shares to bother) to go to the shareholders' meeting I would want an explanation, Disney. (However, hey, if it sells...)

[brigidsblest.livejournal.com]

I had the very same thought, right down to le Baron's colors: purple, black, and white. I know what movie I won't be seeing this holiday season. Yikes.

[summersdaughter.livejournal.com]

The Snow Queen!! OMG, I love that fairy-tale. ♥

Also, I'm not sure who really does live that sort of Cosmo life. :|

[fineprnt.livejournal.com]

Girls in LA.
Seriously.

[iczer6.livejournal.com]

They also have a bit of concept art on the site of the new queen, who looks much more like a villain than a hero (but maybe that's the twist in this story).

She was the villain in the original story. It's not a twist.

[elbales]

IKR? Does nobody read anymore? O_o

[xander77.livejournal.com]

I can totally hear Deadpool doing the trailer voice in my head. It kinda sounds like the deadpool from "I'm a Marvel, I'm a DC", but still.

...

I used to have such a crush on the Little Bandit Girl back in the day. Disney better do her justice.

[litlover12.livejournal.com]

Noooo! NOOOO!!! I don't want Zac Efron!! :-(

[nicolars.livejournal.com]

If any of you are interested in a Tonner Edward or Bella, get them from Amazon. They just dropped the price by $20 today:

http://www.amazon.com/AMAZON-EXCLUSIVE-Tonner-Turn-Bella/dp/B002CMLDUU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1260320815&sr=8-1

http://www.amazon.com/AMAZON-EXCLUSIVE-Tonner-Twilight-Edward/dp/B002CMLDUK/ref=pd_bxgy_t_img_b


That's super cheap by Tonner standards - you could buy both and it is still cheaper than the price of Victoria. Or Laurent.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I can't say much, but... the situation is under control. No matter how the in-story attempts to buy a Bella go, offstage, it's under control. *cough*

(DAMN! I almost can't NOT buy Prom Bella for that price! Prom Edward weirds me out, though.)

[cupcakery.livejournal.com]

If they ruin The Snow Queen, I will cut them. I mean it. I will cut them like the Robber Girl wanted to cut Gerda.

[nicolars.livejournal.com]

I think now that John Lasseter is overseeing Disney's animation department, a lot of care is going to go into the story as well as the animation.

[anne-jumps.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry but they are so right about the independence and the overindulging XD
(For me, at least!)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hee, they so are, for me too.

[hazakaza.livejournal.com]

Wow, that linkspam makes me excited about Disney again!

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

I hope that they let Ryan Reynolds call a bunch of shots on Deadpool because that right there is a man who UNDERSTANDS.

You can't see it, but my eyes are hearts right now.

[ahirutwin.livejournal.com]

I KNOW, RIGHT? He's on our side!

My question is if it would be too much to ask for little yellow boxes. Because I would love that so, so, so hardcore. (They could just pop up like in the corners of the screen! And then Deadpool could be like "Hey, get out of my limelight!" and cut them in half!)

[robinmc.livejournal.com]

"There is a fiercely protective immortal hero who longs for your heart AND HIS NAME IS JESUS."

I'm sorry, but I see that and all I can think is "Rock me, rock me, rock me Sexy Jesus!"

[christiespace.livejournal.com]

The Libra one is way too accurate for me... Kinda creepy really

[unicornluvr.livejournal.com]

Do tell a fellow Libra sister.

AND TAKE BACK THE ZEFRON CLEO! TAKE HIM BAAAAACK! Do not want.

[erinya.livejournal.com]

THERE IS A FIERCELY PROTECTIVE IMMORTAL HERO WHO LONGS FOR YOUR HEART AND HIS NAME IS JESUS.

LOLOLOLOL

THAT IS SO WRONG IT IS FANTASTIC

Also, OMG Temeraire! Somehow I missed that that was in the works.

[reticent-lass.livejournal.com]

I remember hearing about it, like, the day after the news broke--and then thinking 'Great, this is gonna be like the next Duke Nukem Forever of film, isn't it?' But Weta's working on the design already! And a miniseries! Normally I would be wary of such a thing, because the budget is often visibly lower to accommodate the extra runtime, but if Peter Jackson is working it... I have hopes. High ones.

God, if they make enough money to get said miniseries all the way to Black Powder War--can you imagine a full-sized film version of Iskierka? All steam and spikes and wicked fury?

[remys-haven.livejournal.com]

That whole hole over the heart thing is a Jewish custom. EDWARD IS A JEW!!! Who knew? :P

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

AH! The screenwriter is Jewish--that explains a lot.

[ppyajunebug.livejournal.com]

Honestly, the figure that scares me the most is Jasper. He looks freakishly emaciated. And his hair makes him look like an escaped mental patient.

I want an Emmet figure. Then I can reenact my favorite Growing Up Cullen scenes.

[remys-haven.livejournal.com]

OMG! Me, too. You should film it and put it on youtube. That would be so awesome.

[mogumogu.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen it, but there's a Russian version of The Snow Queen that I've heard of that apparently was a huge influence on Hayao Miyazaki. That story sounds so... dark, brooding, serious business, you know? Right now the artwork seems to fit, but this is Disney and Alan Menken, and as much as I love Mermaid... I don't know how I feel about this.

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

The original version of the little Mermaid was actually really dark.

Seriously. It ends with the prince marrying a different princess and the little mermaid committing suicide.

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

I just fangirled so hard over the snow queen news.

I loved that fairy tale when I was younger.

[ahirutwin.livejournal.com]

Is it just me, or do you guys recall something about Rapunzel being the next Disney to come out? It strikes me that there was some interview with the execs in like August that said they were working on The Princess and the Frog and Rapunzel at the same time. :/

[mogumogu.livejournal.com]

Rapunzel's CG, which is probably why they didn't mention it.

I cannot WAIT

[dakiwiboid.livejournal.com]

until the Shelf sees this. I am stocking up on splorfles.

Re: I cannot WAIT

[fineprnt.livejournal.com]

! your icon

[summer-breeze01.livejournal.com]

Hee, I am happily imagining TLE's reaction to Sparkle Edward. :D
Jasper is a travesty. And Jacob is rather... life-like. Um.

I saw the Cosmo thing on Twitter and promptly cracked up at the "Superintimate Octopus." I think I saw a porno like that once...

[aranel13.livejournal.com]

I'm just finding it amusing that your response to mentioning you bought a Twilight app is to say "Bite me."

With, or without fangs?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

THEY DON'T EVEN HAAAAAVE FAAAAAANGS! /TLE

[lori.livejournal.com]

"2) The Littlest Jacob is freakishly lifelike."

Actually, I'm of the opinion that Taylor Lautner is freakishly doll-like.

[cherrysakura5.livejournal.com]

The Littlest Jacob - Whoa! That is so realistic, It so odd/creepy that the only doll they got right was the buff kid with no shirt on!

Apparently my "spiciest" match would be a Leo, like... Daniel Radcliffe.
Is that like for all Sagittarius or just a certain kind? Because if you don't want him I'll gladly take him. I kind of love him
He's 20 I just turned 20 it's all good. ;)

I do like how the Virgo one is specifically like, "He has to be able to fix your PC." WHERE WERE YOU DURING THE COMPOCALYPSE.

LOL just LOL.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

All Sagittarii. He's all yours!

(I mean, I love him. But... yeah. He's your age, not mine. I was in college and he was a little wizard BABY.)
