Monday, doing pretty well
Trying to get the linkspam out early so I can spend the rest of the night annotating. It's not that I don't want to be doing them or I want to "get them over with," it's just... you know how sometimes you have to work on something for longer than you expected, and there's a point where you just feel like you should be done with it so you can move on with life? It's kind of like that.

Pele robbed by armed gang in Brazil.
Storm Worm invents fictional events to entrap victims.
Dude Says Diamonds Are "Profoundly Anti-Feminist," And Not Just Because He Can't Afford One. You know what I kind of want? A big faceted rainbow moonstone ring. Which... I could buy for myself, actually.
Nancy Drew, Heroine To Nerd Girls Everywhere [Appreciations].
Nerf War! Things that made me laugh: the action/war/Matrix/John Woo movie cliches lovingly reenacted; the guy bleeding styrofoam peanuts; the IT leader who uses a CD as a mirror; the "fallen" comrade used as a human shield around the 3:11 mark; the glimpse of a "ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY ROCK INTO MORDOR" macro taped under the clock at the very beginning.
6 “Ghosts” Caught on Film. And of course the best ones are fake.

Joe' Has a Subtitle, Cretinous Billboard; First Pics Of Starship Troopers' Armor And Heroes' Gun-Toting Ex-Blonde [Morning Spoilers]; First Poster for Rob Zombie's Tyrannosaurus Rex; Fourth 'Disaster Movie' Teaser Poster! FOURTH! And They're Still Just Teasing Us!
Also, re: new images: Batman Bitch Slaps The Joker. It's awkward, because there's part of me that's like, "NOOOOO DON'T HIT HIM HE'S NOT WITH US ANYMORE!," and there's another part of me that's like, "BITCH WENT DOWN!" This whole movie is going to be an exercise in conflicting emotions, isn't it?
Christian Bale Out, Sam Riley to Play Robin Hood? Well... that's certainly a tumble down the fame ladder.
Hopkins Confirmed As Lear. Apparently Naomi Watts will also join Gwyneth Paltrow and Keira Knightley as the third daughter. Quoth the director, an "American newcomer," "It's pre-Roman, Celtic, very raw. It's a period in British history, from which Tolkien took a lot of his inspiration, where there were thatched-roof roundhouses and fortresses." AND THE TROGDOR COMES IN THE NIIIIIIIGHT!
New Hints About What Mulder And Scully Are Searching For; Tender, Top-Secret Geek Riot Ensues as Duchovny, 'X-Files' Share Four Minutes with LA [Los Angeles Film Festival].
Could You Shoot Bendy Bullets, Just Like in 'Wanted'?; Ann Curry is on the prowl; James McAvoy is her potential prey. Man, this is worse than the time Katie Couric all but threw her panties at Hugh Jackman.
Interview: Wall-E's Writer and Director Andrew Stanton; Is Pixar's 'Wall-E' The Most Expensive Silent Movie Ever Made?
'Hancock' Billboard Amuses Passing Londoners, Film Bloggers Across Pond.

David O. Russell's 'Nailed' Suffers Fourth Shutdown, Time to Leak Those 'Nude Jessica Biel' Rumors.
Anna Faris, Sam Rockwell Looking At Summer For Linda Lovelace Biopic.
Remix The Moaning Ladies Of 'The Spirit' [Contest].
Stallone and Arnie Have an 'Incredible Love.' Not the movie it sounds like, although I think I might have gone to see it if it was.
