So this happened:




\o/

Meanwhile, here are the songs that get stuck in your head when you are sick in bed and helpless to do anything about it. Like too sick to even get on Twitter and rid yourself of whichever song by inflicting it on others. Yeah. It was pretty bad.

Usually it was about this point that I would ask for more Aleve and pass out again.

Meanwhile, I am still mulling over what to do about the Dracula recaps, because I am straight-up loath to give up on them. I had a project I just finished out of SHEER GODDAMNED CUSSEDNESS, and on the whole, I liked it enough that I'd kind of like ~Finishing Things~ to be how I roll from now on. At the same time, I have learned--both from my own experience and the very, very painful experience of other people I know--that sometimes you have to know when to fold 'em. And somewhere between the two, I have to remind myself that this is the internet, where you can do just about anything any way you want to do it, and there's no reason I can't try to get this done by taking a completely different approach. I just don't know what that approach is yet--

OH! Official notice: For reasons just discussed, I will not be liveblogging the Golden Globes on Sunday. I'm thinking about doing sort of a judicious live-tweeting combined with collecting the best tweets I see and putting them together on Storify. I've done liveblogs of award shows since--Jesus, I don't know, 2001 or 2002? I feel like I need to move on from a format that exhaustive at this point, given the massive widespread availability of videos, recaps, tweets, other liveblogs, etc. I don't know--the way I look at it is, if I try less labor-intensive formats, maybe I'll be around more often. So we'll see.

@joshc: Are Jodie Foster and Kevin Costner being loaded onto the White Ship to sail to the Undying Lands at the conclusion of the Golden Globes?

I'm a little concerned, yeah.

Sigh. Blurbly doubled BLAR BLAR sound on the TV again. Damn, Halle Berry has a great dress. Like a big kind of raspberry pink floral pattern ballgown and--

Please welcome! John Goodman and Actual Tony Mendez, Real-Life Hero of Argo, to present the Argo montage! The sound is terrible in a way that is not my TV's fault and I can barely hear what he is saying. I still need and want to see Argo! Yay!

Please also welcome! Jason Statham and Jennifer Lopez with meager swaths of lace painted onto portions of her body, it is kind of magnificent!

You guys, you need to know ahead of time that there are power outages in Tuscaloosa and heavy rain, lightning, thunder, etc., here in Birmingham. In fact, I lost TV reception for a while. Also, I have a sore throat and combination chills/hot flashes and an earache, I feel like ass warmed over, and I have been talking myself out of crawling into bed for the last hour. All the grimdark forces of the world are arrayed against us, is what I'm saying. *hair breeze*

Ricky Gervais rolls back in with a wine glass. "Our next presenter is the Queen of Pop! No, not you, Elton!" You know what's super edgy? Working a bunch of song titles into a Madonna introduction. Madonna is even less impressed than I am. "If I'm still Like a Virgin, Ricky, why don't you come do something about it?" OHHHHHHHHHH. "I haven't kissed a girl in a few years." OHHHHHHHHHHH. Man, everyone is Lol Edgier than Ricky tonight. Read more... )

I'm still working on the previous entry when Rob Lowe and Julianne Moore come out to introduce Miss Golden Globes (uh) and at first I thought, after a looooong pause, that Moore was totally drunk but then I realized it was just that the teleprompter didn't work, so they bring the script pages up to her. "And this is why we LOVE THIS SHOW!" says Lowe gamely. "When was the last time you did a cold reading in front of Steven Spielberg?" Also, Downton Abbey wins stuff.

@scottEweinberg: Again, the HFPA is a moronic farce of a critics group. They're asskissers who live to shake hands with Clooneys and such. Remember this plz.

@cleolinda: And also, there's booze and Meryl always gets her drink on and no one gives a shit by the end of the night! And that is why I love them.

@cleolinda: I'm just saying, the Golden Globes are intellectually bankrupt but they also don't make us watch interpretive dance.

"Of the song from Crash with trash cans on actual fire and someone slo-mo groping a Thandie Newton double" is what I didn't have room to say. "Of sad serious music from Holocaust movies" would have also been acceptable. Still, even the truncated point stands.

@ebertchicago: Stars love Golden Globes cuz if they lose it means nothing. Also if they win.

That one too.

Welcome to! The 69th Annual! Drinky Oscars! BA DUH DUH BA DUH DUH BAAAAAA. Read more... )

So I pushed through a depressive funk and liveblogged the Golden Globes last night, because once the Heather and Jessica were on Twitter talking about how cracked-out some of the fashions were, I knew I would hate myself for sitting this one out. I have been doing this for far too long to give up now. Also, I decided that if I got over myself and fought through it, I could go buy myself a small treat (a 40% off coupon relevant to the situation didn't hurt). I think I will keep it off-story, because we already have enough vampires characters running around The Secret Life of Dolls. But yeah. /cryptic

Please welcome! Joseph Gordon-Levitt! Don't mind if I do! He is here to introduce the Inception clip! This is pleasing to me. In large part because I actually managed to see it.

Please welcome! Matt Damon! Pretending he doesn't know who Robert De Niro is! This is going to be a very, very long Cecil B. DeMille award. I mean, even more so than usual. It involves impressions, for God's sake. Although I do enjoy how De Niro "disappears" in Taxi Driver "as a blonde, thirteen-year-old hooker. He just disappears!"

Gervais: "Our next presenters are young, and thin, with the hair, and lovely teeth. Which is just as well, because they're presenting Best Foreign Film, which no one in America cares about!" Please welcome! Robert Pattinson and Olivia Wilde's gigantic black tulle ballgown! Seriously, I had to get on Twitter and ask who it was wearing.

BA DUH DUH BA DUH DUH BAAAAAA. Please welcome! Michelle Pfeiffer in dark blue! Maybe purple? I can't tell! She sounds completely dead inside as she introduces the Alice in Wonderland clip. It's okay, bb, you're done. You can go hit the bar now. WHOA! Helena Bonham Carter's hair is UNPRECEDENTEDLY LARGE. It goes without saying that it is also in charge.
