I'm late to the party with this one, but it needs to be linked: An Open Letter to Harry Potter Fangirls.

Awesome icons made from HP in 15 Minutes--seriously, I envy the Photoshop skills on display here.

Desperately behind on the movie news, although this sounds good. I also heard that the ROTK EE has been delayed until December. Boo.

I felt a great deal of despair when I realized that, as sick as I am of the Chronicles of Riddick trailers I've been forced to watch at every single movie I've seen since last July, it is quite clearly a perfect candidate for Fifteen Minutes. However, I am broke refuse to pay to see a movie that has pissed me off for several months now. Therefore, you should not, under any circumstances, download a bootleg, and you should not burn it to a CD, and you should certainly not email me (my email is not in my user info) and ask for my mailing address, which I will certainly not give you as that is bad, bad, illegal, and very bad.

In other news, I still feel achy and feverish and cold. In Alabama. In June. Yeah, I'm sick. I'm desperately behind on a ton of things, and basically the only way I was able to get the Harry Potter Fifteen Minutes done was to drop everything else for about four days. I'm starting to wonder if I should just call it a week and drop everything until Black Ribbon gets finished.

Just in time for Christmas, those tricksy studio execs.

Hope you feel better, Cleo.

That letter is awesome. I so hope that whoever it was who acted like such a bitca, reads it and feels shame.

Because I am my Mum, I prescribe lots of fluids and bed rest. It's the only way to get rid of these things. (Unless it's a bad-ass infection, in which case ignore me, I'm stupid.)

Aww, thanks for the prescription. That's basically what I'm doing, plus some Tylenol. I have some sort of weird swelling under my arm, actually--my doctor's seen it before, and said it was a very garden-variety sort of thing, but I probably ought to call him for some antibiotics.

Though I would feel the pain of a Cleo-shaped hole in my life for that indeterminate time, you do what you gotta do. While Fifteen Minutes is a most enjoyable diversion, you should have your priorities, and sadly, "Ribbon" trumps almost all else. I don't think anyone would fault you for that....

Hi, I don't know you, but saw your comment in Cleolinda's LJ. I'm in love w/ your 'piggy' icon and wondered if you knew where I could find a similar one or if it would be possible I could gank yours. I'll credit whoever's responsible.

Thanks!
A piggy fan.

Oh, man. Your icons and those new icons are The Awesome, and it's almost making me want to forsake my Troy set.

And if you feel achy and feverish and cold, SEE A DOCTOR. Just saying so because my brother's had what he thought was a cold for a week, but oh no, it's bronchitis. Whoops.

Oh, no! I couldn't accept anything like that. Besides, Riddick would still get the money. ;)

Dude, sometimes? They play it TWICE. Like, when I went to see Van Helsing, I think it was, it was the very first trailer they played, and then they played it again almost at the end! It's like "OMG LOOK AT US WE ARE SO COOL LOOK HE PUTS OUT CANDLES WITH HIS BARE HANDS!!!!!1"

GOD. I saw it each time I saw Pirates of the Caribbean, each time I saw ROTK, before Peter Pan, and every time before, after, and in between. "I AM DA MONSTAH." Great, now get out of my face.

Will you hate me very much if I confessed that I have yet to see a single Riddick trailer? Maybe it's the U.K., but I've seen Troy and HP3 and Kill Bill, and some others, but no Riddick, not even a hint...

I'm hoping you feel better. You're a wonder woman for having put up the m15m while sick!

I'm the same and I go to the big cinemas in Manchester. I've only seen the Riddick trailer at Van Helsing. Maybe its the rating? Or maybe Riddick is just crap?

Feel better, luv. Don't shortchange yourself on getting your rest. That's most important.

Thought the letter was brilliant... and am contemplating posting over at TORn (theonering.net). Even though our movies have all come and gone, there's a lot of cross-fandom peeps there. It might do some good.

As for Chronicles of Riddick... I must admit that I have been looking forward to this for a looong time. Which is ironic because I can't stand Vin Diesel. But I am a shameless fangirl of Karl Urban's and that overtrumps my dislike of his castmates. Also, if Dame Judi Dench deemed the project worth her time... it can't be a total loss. Can it? I've been assured that Dench and Urban are the only things that keep this movie from sinking.

Get better, Cleo!

I ended up with a free ticket to see Riddick, so if I go, techincally I'm not giving them any money .... however whoever I drag to go with me will. Oh well..

I doubt I'll go to see it anyway. It looks awful.

From: [identity profile] cleolinda.livejournal.com
Yeah, they've gotten Mike Newell to do it. (I'm not sure why--the Four Weddings and a Funeral guy?--but...) They may be out there filming as we speak--Alfonso Cuaron wanted to, but he said there was no way he could overlap filming for 3 and 4 because he would die of exhaustion, and he had no idea how Peter Jackson did it. He did say he'd like to come back for a later one, though--I'd like to see him on Order of the Phoenix. :)

I totally agree with you about Chronicles of Riddick. It looks like utter crap, but I was so over it by November. I wonder who they paid off to be a trailer for every--freakin'--movie--in--existence.

Feel better, by the way!

You know, hate to be a bother by starting uncontrollable trends, but i really really wish you'd do a movie in 15 minutes on "Queen of the Damned". It's got just the right amount of crazed fans, unfulfilled potential and bad scripting that would make for a very good spoof script.

Anyway, i hope you'll at least take it into account.

I beliong to the x_men100 drabble challenge community and we had length challenge MST3K-ing as a challenge and yer 15 minutes parodies were much the helpfulness!

CoR trailers? God I'd give my, well something I like, for a CoR trailer.

All I've been getting is Spiderman 2 and 'typical shitty comedy that could be used as a torture device' trailers.

At least CoR has nifty explosions and Vin Diesel.

See, all I was getting was shitty comedies and Riddick. By the time the Spider-Man trailer showed up, I was willing to sacrifice virgins to get something new.

Oh, and whoever thought of "White Girls" should be *smote.*

One of my best friends wants to marry Vin Diesel, so I'm sure she'll be first in line for tickets Friday...

By the way, the weird swelling under your arm that you mentioned in a previous comment may be an infected lymph node. They do go away a helluva lot faster with antibiotics. Anyways, I hope you're feeling better soon. Make some chicken noodle soup and add Kentucky bourbon to the mix -- it does wonders for a cold. ;)

As sick as I am of both the Riddick trailer and Vin Diesel (and the whole "Pitch Black" thing in general, seeing as horrible horrible HORRIBLE things happened when I first watched that movie [Gross people. Going at it. Despite the ironic and extreme brightness of the movie. I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it again]), at least in the newer trailer (as opposed to the teaser trailer, I mean), they put the main titles for Tim Burton's version of Planet of the Apes in there. Danny Elfman = my "future husband", and thus, a sucker for anything involving Danny Elfman music = me.

Either way, I really hope you feel better! Boo to sicknesses!
