Let's talk about cheerfuller things today
Made some more Secret Life of Dolls icons. I'm to the point where I can't really imagine anyone wanting to use them (you're free to, obviously), but I still like making them. They're like tiny little movies! If movies had lots of text and still photographs! Uh.
Also, it has been brought to my attention that Sideshow does, in fact, make a Faramir. And a Boromir. And an Aragorn and a Legolas. We must never speak of this again.
(Oh, you have got to be kidding me. It's like Playgirl for dolls.)
(Buy $169K dollhouse, get real home 'free.' I swear to you, I looked over at The Shelf and blurted out, "I DO NOT EVEN WANT TO HEAR IT.")
BREAKING NEWS: WHAT IS THIS SHIT? I mean, it's a lovely doll. IT'S JUST NOT TIA DALMA.
You know how many good movie trailers just came out? I'm putting them above the cut, that's how many.
Trailers and clips: 'Revolutionary Road' Trailer Online; New 'Day the Earth Stood Still' Footage Sunday; Witness Meryl Streep's Reign of Terror in 'Doubt' Trailer; Must Watch: Tom Tykwer's 'The International' Trailer With Clive Owen! ('International' Trailer Creates Little 'Interest' [See, Because It's About a Bank]; The 'International' Trailer Uses a Scene From 'Ghost Rider'!); Clint Eastwood's 'Changeling' Trailer With Angelina Jolie; First Look: Gilliam's 'Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus' Featurette; 'Two Lover's trailer; Exclusive Clip: 'Rent: Filmed Live on Broadway'; Get Bloody Musical with the Trailer for 'Repo! The Genetic Opera'; 'Feast 2' Trailer Is A Pretty Little Massacre.
Okay, I didn't say that they were all good.
(Also, nerves_patterns says thanks for your help with her project--it seems to have gone really well.)

Twilight: You too can get hammered on Forbidden Fruit; from shocolate: Rupert Grint a fan of the "Twilight" Books? Not... exactly:After [he replied] to the text message, we found out that Rupert recently lost a bet to actor Robert Pattinson, who was once part of the Harry Potter cast in a previous film, and insisted that Rupert read the bestselling book. Rupert is now "stuck reading 'Twilight' " and that Rob was just texting him to see how far along he was getting.
Rupert admitted he had only read the first five chapters of the bestselling book and we just informed him that there were three more books in the series. "No, really, are you serious? I thought there was just this one book?" Only now realizing he has to read three more, Rupert took his phone out and sent another message to Rob. By the looks of things, we can bet it wasn't a very pleasant message.
