SO MANY THINGS TO DO

I NEED MORE HOURS

Please, a warm welcome for rollfizzlebeef, aka Mark who Reads Harry Potter, joining us back on the previous entry. Also, pegkerr notes that the blog is syndicated at markreadshp, which may be easier to follow.

IMPORTANT: How to Disable Facebook Places: "If you're not convinced that posting your location can be a bad thing, check out PleaseRobMe for some evidence. Of course, if you're careful, check-ins aren't inherently a bad thing. Whether or not you want to disable them is entirely up to you, but Facebook—yet again—has made the assumption that you want to take part in all of their privacy-eroding new features."

Linkspam!

No Mary Jane for the Spider-Man Reboot? But they're looking at actresses, so... Gwen Stacy? I was about as sorry as someone who's never actually read comics could be that they didn't do The Gwen Stacy Storyline (Bryce Dallas Howard in a blonde wig for 20 minutes is not what I'm talking about), because that always looked really interesting to me. Meanwhile: David Fincher Can't Picture Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man. Well, no, that picture is not convincing me, either.

Did Alice Eve Leave X-Men: First Class Because of Script Problems? I don't know who I thought this actress was, but... she's not.

Inebriation, the Inception Parody: Your Mind is the Scene of the DUI. 

Two Clips from The Last Exorcism; 'Last Exorcism' Chatroulette Marketing is Excellent. The only problem is (since the setup is that the various guys think it's a girl who's about to take her top off) that I keep wondering where... the guys' hands are. Like... I mean, I know that's what most, if not all, the guys probably intended to do, because that's come to be pretty much the entire raison d'être of Chatroulette, exposing yourself to complete strangers, but... is it already happening even as we're watching these clips, out of frame? I mean... can you tell what they're doing, with these invisible hands? Is it possible to tell? Is it something we can ever really know? It's like Schrödinger's Wank or something.

After all the utterly cretinous bullshit they pull, it fucking boggles my goddamn mind that any sentient life form would still have a facebook account. Jesus.

[glenvorian.livejournal.com]

A friend of mine keeps bugging me to get FB, I'm sure she doesn't have a CLUE how awful it is.

[glenvorian.livejournal.com]

Orlando Bloom is gonna be a Dad, Miranda Kerr is four months preggers. :(

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

That's a bad thing?

[litlover12.livejournal.com]

I read that one sentence too fast and thought it said, "Let Me In's Viral Website Riddled with Updates and Surprises." Which, interestingly, still makes sense.

(Well, to an English major it's interesting.)

[cat-eyed-fox.livejournal.com]

Oh my gods, you have a Dorothy L. Sayers icon! I am making my way through Lord Peter Wimsey and I'm also reading "Creed without Chaos" about her theological writings. Clearly you are awesome.

[himhilien.livejournal.com]

At first I thought the 0% RT rating was for The Last Failbender, but I remembered some people like that movie.

[melayka.livejournal.com]

It held steady at 8% for a while, now it's to 7%. I can only imagine its miraculous avoidance of the Dread Zero is for a) those who have never heard of the show, and thus like the movie for its concept, or b) the MST3K value.

Appropriate icon, though. XD

I'm almost certain that Facebook wants us all to become the subjects of a series of Lifetime films focusing on the dangers of the internet.

Sadly, one critic gave Vampires Suck a favorable review and ruined things (the movie's now at 4%). Shockingly, it wasn't even Armond White. :P

[cat-eyed-fox.livejournal.com]

Funnily enough I was just at the "Vampires Suck" Rotten Tomatoes site and it's sadly at 0% no longer. 4% is still pretty bad, but not nearly as funny.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Aw. I haven't been this disappointed since Airbender suddenly went up to 6%.

[civilbloodshed.livejournal.com]

I suspect the guy in the blue shirt was totally palming himself subtly, but his face is possibly the greatest reaction to anything I have ever seen.

[greyduck.livejournal.com]

Wait, TMNT again? I... kind of liked the CGI thing a few years ago. (C'mon, that rooftop throwdown between Raph and Leo...) Oh well. Maybe they'll bring something new to the table, but I think I saw Michael Bay involved, so I'm not getting hopes up too high.

In other interesting news...another cat named Edward.

[andromedabastow.livejournal.com]

I got my first pet like two months ago a kitten and I of course named him Edward (Yeah I'm a twilighter... move on) turns out that when I went to the vet he told me there is a big change Edward is a SHE!!
Oh my is God trying to tell me something?!

I'm sure the haters would love a female cat named Edward.

Anyway its not that big of a deal I'm Team Bella too (yes we do exist...move on) so I would just rename her if the other vet agree with the gender. Of course the first vet was a fan and didn't charged me for take a look at her/him when he saw my Edward sticker on the top of the crate, not sure Bella would cause the same effect.

My husband says that I should keep the name anyway because is funny, but he is a hater so I'm wary of his intentions...Maybe I should just name him/her Twilight and be done with it. But then how do I name the other kitten we will get so he/she has company: Vampire Chronicles?

Re: In other interesting news...another cat named Edward.

[castleatmydoor.livejournal.com]

Don't forget that twilight was the time of day first. And if you ever decide you are no longer a fan, you could just tell people you like the color of the sky at twilight?

Also: How do you not know what gender a cat is? It isn't like rat kittens, or birds that don't have gender specific coloring.

..... WB is going to win that one, right? RIGHT?

[starnightmuse.livejournal.com]

because... eww. that's just... eww
*shudders*

I really, really hope WB force them to change their name because seriously that's... *shudders*

can someone pass me the brain bleach?

Re: ..... WB is going to win that one, right? RIGHT?

AUGH HARRY POPPER WTF
Not only does that scandalize my HarryPotter brain, it sounds also vaguely like Mary Poppins and... and... NOOOOOOO!

[deadwoodmt.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for linking to those Mark Reads Harry Potter things. It's literally like reading them for the first time all over again, only he's experiencing them as an adult and reacting to them as an adult. I love how he connects with the characters - the way we all did - but in a way more mature fashion. I can't ever really do that because my first reaction will always be the one I've had since I was a kid - I don't get to Obliviate myself and read them for the first time again.

It's fun, though. I keep getting excited about future events, like, "OMG, it's gonna be SO MIND BLOWING when he gets to X or Y part!"

Cleo, you always have the best links.

[stormarrow.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the facebook heads up. THEY NEED TO STOP THIS SHIT THO OMFG.

[hopeandmemory.livejournal.com]

seriously WHAT THE FUCK is mark zuckerberg's deal, i don't even. "privacy" apparently has no place in his lexicon.

they should probably just stop with the spiderman movies altogether, i have a bad feeling about this whole reboot thing.

[diddakoi.livejournal.com]

So I was thinking today: In a love triangle, the three people involved are the vertices, right? With the love between them being the sides, if you will. So technically, in a love triangle, each of the people involved should be in love with a different person, otherwise the sides won't be connected correctly; i.e., Steve should be in love with Jane who is in love with Bob who loves Steve. So, in Twilight, we have a... love V? Love carat? I may have officially given this too much thought.

Maybe it's the day/week I've had/am having, but the "Harry Popper" thing is sending me into fits of uncontrollable laughter.

SO MANY THINGS TO DO

I NEED MORE HOURS

SECONDED.

The Inception parody cracked me up. Heh.

P.S. I don't know that I've used this PANIC icon since...studying for law school finals four years ago? But ZOMG so much to do before trip aieeee!

[iluvbroadway06.livejournal.com]

I also want to thank you for linking to Mark Reads Harry Potter. I just love how he starts off oh so skeptical and has now been converted! I'm cracking up about how he thinks the word "Muggle" is racist or something at first.

On other topics, I am not on board for this Spider-Man reboot. Just not at all. I don't know why they can't just leave well enough alone. Maybe in 10 or 15 years, a reboot would be welcome. Like, the culture of the Internet, media, and Hollywood is turning everyone into old people before their time. Like, I'm NOT OLD ENOUGH to gripe about new people ruining my beloved franchises, okay? I can't believe I'm going to have to tell my kids, "Back in my day, Tobey Maguire played Spider-Man, and there was this girl named Mary Jane. She was kind of important." And I'm not even a comic book person either. I just love the (first two) movies. GAH. Anyway, rant over.

[wirrrn.livejournal.com]

Andrew Garfield is neat. He's been in DOCTOR WHO, and flirted with David Tennant. Clearly he has the correct Sexy Geek-Credentials to take part in SPIDERMAN *g*

I really enjoy the CHILDREN OF THE CORN films. The recent remake was the most canonical Stephen King project ever- every line of dialogue, even the character's clothing, was exactly the same as in the short story...

[jennnlee.livejournal.com]

You know, I read that Facebook article last night, and rushed in a panic to my Account Settings, to find that I wasn't opted-in after all. All my privacy settings are set to "Friends only" or "Friends of Friends" and my Places (or whatever it's called) was also set to "Friends only." And I also don't understand the part of the article where it says to click the "enable" button to... disable something? What?

Re: Gwen Stacy. Yeah, I didn't really understand why they stuck Bryce Dallas Howard in a wig to do nothing in the third movie, but they did kind of steal part of Gwen's storyline and give it to MJ in the first movie, so... I dunno.

[leucocrystal]

I must thank you profusely for linking to "Mark Reads Harry Potter". I've been reading through it and cackling and grinning and falling in love all over again with the series for the past few hours now. It's just delightful.

[iamsmr.livejournal.com]

YES, I love that you discovered and enjoy Mark Reads Harry Potter. I get absurdly pleased when my fave bloggers find each other.

Keira Knightley looks really pretty, but surprisingly bland outside of period costume.

The Chatroulette marketing is GENIUS. It's all in the dude in the blue shirt's eyebrows. (Ignoring the guys'-hands issue, you are probably totally right. Although...why would some of the guys be in groups? Ugh.)

[jubilantia.livejournal.com]

OH HEEEELL YE- oh, for a second I thought the Uwe Boll slot was talking about Avatar: The Last Airbender. I suppose I'd purposefully ejected the Vampires Suck crap from my memory. Oh well, I'm still glad. I can't stand those movies.

[jubilantia.livejournal.com]

The Tempest looks so awesome but what is Russell Brand doing there? I don't get it.

[sethrak.livejournal.com]

Yeah, pretty much the only reason I got my FB in the first place was to stifle nagging relatives and see adorable baby photos of people I don't get to see often. (I'm a military spouse, and an awful lot of our friends are military too. Makes for far-flung friendships.

If this keeps up, though, I'm killing it. With fire. or at least with a very vicious mouse-click.
