Two quick things

[cleolinda]

I posted a few more batches of Formspring question cross-posts last night. These are the earliest questions that glitches may prevent you from going back and seeing. Also, at Formspring itself, I answered a few new ones. We're up to 225 answered, and still 99 in the inbox. I don't even know, y'all. One of the reasons I started doing this was that I'd been wondering if I should ask people here if they had any questions (I get them in the comments or on Twitter sometimes), or what should go on an FAQ page. Well, apparently I am way more interesting to y'all than I thought.

There's no real good segue to this, so... Corey Haim, '80s heartthrob, dies at 38.

One thing about living in Santa Clara I never could stomach. All the damn Coreys.

It's very sad about Corey Haim, but unfortunately not that surprising. Corey Feldman seemed to have turned it around, kinda, but Haim seemed to be living in the past more.

[soulforophelia.livejournal.com]

I think what is so horrible about his death is that I wasn't surprised... at all. It's still sad and I dislike that so many people who are young and I would watch in movies growing up are one by one dying. I feel like at this rate by the time I'm 40 none of my childhood heartthrobs will still be around.

Boo. Dammit.

[last-haven.livejournal.com]

Seconded the sadness that is Corey Haim's death, but what in dear god's name is that thing in your icon? O_o

[fragmentedsky.livejournal.com]

On formspring you mentioned your great affection for Sleeping Beauty, so I thought I'd link this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQeTlxhhmEo) on the off chance you hadn't seen it yet.

[tenalto2.livejournal.com]

Ha! I saw that a few days ago. It's brilliant, isn't it? :-D

[dendritejungle.livejournal.com]

Core Haim. Is dead. Corey Haim.




My god, I feel old.

[mazarin221b.livejournal.com]

Jesus. Me too. Sigh.

[evilsimon.livejournal.com]

Oh what no I just got the Lost Boys soundtrack for old times' sake. Man.

[lederhosen.livejournal.com]

I love that soundtrack. The movie, too.

Poor guy :-(

[jadis17.livejournal.com]

Damn. I always vaguely hoped Corey Haim would pull it together.

Since if anyone knows you've probably heard, is there any word on the variations of the New Moon Dvds? Or is it all standard 1 disc or 2 disc sets?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

There's like a ton of retailer-exclusive "special edition" versions, and they're all different. I think Twilight Lexicon had a run-down somewhere.

[littlecodfish.livejournal.com]

I work at Best Buy and we're selling some special steel case edition, which is--from what I can gather--your typical movie in a special shiny box. Also, if you pre-order right now you get the chance to receive an ~exclusive~ cell phone skin.

[jadis17.livejournal.com]

Thank you.
I think it's even worse this time. I hadn't realized.

Corey Haim, '80s heartthrob, dies at 38.

WHOA. I was never a major fan or anything, but I did have a small pinup of him on my wall in high school. RIP.

[chulacabra.livejournal.com]

Reviews are coming in on Remember Me, and oh dear. I was going to see it this weekend but I think I'm going to wait for the DVD. Between the pans of Pattinson's acting and the "surprise" ending, it's not looking too good.

[littlecodfish.livejournal.com]

...Surprise ending? I'm mildly curious.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I think Gawker has a post about it.

[chulacabra.livejournal.com]

So does New York magazine.

[misachan.livejournal.com]

Aw, Corey Haim. I had his picture on my wall when I was wee, right next to Jordan Knight and Luke Perry.

Cleolinda, the Tonner Virtual Sale is on again and they have Bellatrix for $99!

SAD

[veronica-grace2.livejournal.com]

The sad thing about Corey Haim is his mother was the one who was with him when he collapsed. As a mother myself I know it is my greatest nightmare to lose or outlive my children.

Re: Remember Me.
In Australia there is no "suprise ending" as they are giving it away in the reviews by mentioning the set up of the movie, and then saying:
"...and you can easily guess what happens next".
I felt like saying: Well yes I can now that you've all but spelt it out for us all..

SPOILER NOT SPELLED OUT BUT YOU CAN PROBABLY GUESS IT FROM THE WAY I TALK ABOUT IT

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Almost every single review I've read so far has given away the ending, and I honestly think media outlets are doing it on purpose because they know how upset people will be when they're hit with it. I don't so much mind something happening to the character in general, but--oh God, anything but THAT. Jesus. I wasn't even in NY and I felt ill when I heard the ending a few months ago. ANYTHING BUT THAT, what is wrong with you people. If they had at least sold the story as BEING about that, maybe with a frame story, and so you at least knew it was going to happen, although maybe not who would be involved, that would be one thing. But--UNEXPECTED NATIONAL TRAGEDY IS UNEXPECTED, I just don't know how people who this happened to less than ten years ago are going to deal with this.

And the reason it really upsets me is that I read a Stephen King short story dealing with it--about someone who wasn't there that day, but kept finding the belongings of people who were in his apartment--and the descriptions of what it was like to be there just--augh. I don't want to imagine that happening to a character I've spent two hours with in an otherwise normal romantic drama.

Re: SPOILER NOT SPELLED OUT BUT YOU CAN PROBABLY GUESS IT FROM THE WAY I TALK ABOUT IT

[veronica-grace2.livejournal.com]

Yes, I was going to warn my sister who was going to take her daughter to see it. Esp the way they've talked about it, as it seems he looks out the window and knows it's coming. I mean all I thought was - WHAT???????????
That's how the movie ends????????? The thing is if they've done it just to be confronting/ gritty it would be in the worst possible taste.
And thing of all the early/ mid tweens that will be streaming in to see that movie this weekend. It could end up very messy.

Re: SPOILER NOT SPELLED OUT BUT YOU CAN PROBABLY GUESS IT FROM THE WAY I TALK ABOUT IT

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I was curious as to what the literal, actual, final scene of the movie is. Do the other characters cope with it? Is there some touching coda that ties in with the title? Because I cannot IMAGINE that looking out the window is the last shot of the movie. I cannot for one second imagine that someone put out a movie where the last thirty seconds of the movie was THAT, with no lead-up and no reaction afterwards. I'm almost to the point where, if you could tell me exactly where the rest of the movie ended, I would pay to see it and then walk out right before it happened. My, that was a nice movie!

Oh, and on the Today show, Matt Lauer mentioned that a ton of fans were encouraging people to get together for "Remember Me Saturday." It's gonna be so ugly if they don't know the ending before they go, Jesus almighty.

DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOw REMEMBER ME SPOILER!

[veronica-grace2.livejournal.com]

Aparently he has a fight with his g/f and goes up to his fathers office. Which is in one of the top floors!
As he is waiting to see him he can see out the windows and he can see it coming toward him. So Remember Me is actually a ref to Remembering Him and all the others. I have not heard that there is anything else after that.

Re: DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOw REMEMBER ME SPOILER!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I heard that much.

Honestly, the moment I heard the title, I knew someone was going to die. When I found out she was the quirky "I eat dessert first" one, I thought, she's totally going to die, but he is going to have Learned to Live from her.

And then THAT happened.

I just--I can't even. I want this to do well for Robert Pattinson's sake, just so he can finally do things that are not Twilight and have a shot at playing ANYTHING other than Edward; he can stand or fall on his own at that point, but at least he'll have a shot. And I think his fans will turn up on the first weekend, certainly; they might or might not see it a second time, given the ending, but people generally look at the opening weekends, so if it makes a huge splash, people in the industry will go, "They went for him, and the money dropped off after people actually found out what happens. If we put him in a movie that doesn't have A REALLY TRAUMATIC ENDING, we'll have someone who can open."

Re: DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOw REMEMBER ME SPOILER!

[veronica-grace2.livejournal.com]

OK I've found the original script which was called "Memoirs"
and there is a voice over and a What Happened next afterwards.
The link for the script is:

Re: DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOw REMEMBER ME SPOILER!

[veronica-grace2.livejournal.com]

P.S: there have been 2 script revisions since then but I don't think they'd mess with the ending.

Formspring

[gamethyme.livejournal.com]

FYI, the AP Story (http://www.benkling.com/uploads/formspring.html#associated-press/google_hosted_news&AP=425/articelid=93404272313000347) about it is a hoax (http://www.inquisitr.com/66425/formspring-to-reveal-users-private-data/).

So when someone inevitably links you to the hoax, you don't need to panic.

Re: Formspring

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Heh, yeah. Someone did, and I was like, "benkling.com? You might want to look at that again..."
