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.

New Harry Potter, Yogi Bear and Due Date Preview Pics; Warner Bros. Goes After 'Harry Popper' Condom Line. Oh dear.

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.

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

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

That's a bad thing?

[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]

I'm crushed, a little!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I have one--well, I have two, one for my real name and one for my pen name--but I ignore them studiously. That said, I'll friend anyone back on the Cleolinda Jones one. I just don't do anything else on it.

[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.)

[himhilien.livejournal.com]

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

[library-of-sex.livejournal.com]

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.

[rollfizzlebeef.livejournal.com]

I am a sentient life form with a FB. :/

A bit of a justification: Old job required I get one years ago (NO, REALLY, THEY DID), I ignored it for two years, then discovered it was kind of neat for following close friends and sharing my writing with them.

Then the privacy fiasco hits, I freak out, but I don't know what to do with my FB, so I turn most things off and donate to Diaspora.

The day Diaspora launches, I delete my Facebook.

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.

[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.

[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.

[litlover12.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks! I don't know if I am, but she sure is. :-) I've read everything I could find by her -- novels, stories, theology, plays . . . I love them all.

[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.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

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

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?

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

I have a FB account purely as a marketing tool. I occasionally post to it the same things I am willing to post to Twitter. I mainly set up a FB account to make sure that no one else "helpfully" made one for me. (Yes, I'm slightly paranoid about that sort of thing.)

[snippy]

Oh, an even *better* Wimsey icon!

awwwww

[starnightmuse.livejournal.com]

that;s cute!

Re: awwwww

[glenvorian.livejournal.com]

I am so jealous of the kid's genes, lol.

i keep one

[starnightmuse.livejournal.com]

but it's kust to keep in touch with friends i know since middle school

i put all my privacy options on.

[deadwoodmt.livejournal.com]

I'm kinda interested in Diaspora, but it sounds confusing to me. IDK, all my friends are on Facebook anyway. I just check my privacy setting often and keep super personal things elsewhere (like IRL).

..... 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?
