Where did my evening go?
Welcome, MSNBC readers! This is the kind of entry I wrote--still do, obviously--before Twilight ate my brain. I also post the occasional movie parody at m15m and put out a book of them overseas a couple of years ago. (Yes, I have promised to write "Twilight in Fifteen Minutes" or die trying.) Feel free to friend the journal, comment or lurk as you please, and enjoy your stay!
(Uh, y'all? I went back and looked at one of my old entries, and... the userpic wasn't mine. I'm not even sure who was in the picture. It seems to have eaten my favorite Reiko Shimizu icon--I think I've heard about this kind of glitch before? I'm just saying... if you see an icon that looks out of the ordinary for my style... that's why. It's a glitch. I don't usually have guys in my icons, for example.)
(It might have been Jackson Rathbone? Even Livejournal glitches know that I write about Twilight? I'm kind of scared now?)
I keep meaning to post variations on this story and forget, so: Ancient Vampire Killing Kit Sells For 15K. (How is the garlic still fresh?) For those of y'all who remember the Black Ribbon novel I'm still working on--man, I would love one of those.

See, the lack of Bond trademarks in the new movies doesn't bother me, because I assume that they're working up to those--they're making the character earn them, since they rebooted the series from "Bond first becomes a 00" up.

There’s a Lot of Pressure Being Put on Cruise, MGM and ‘Valkyrie’; Scoop: Tom Cruise laughable in ‘Valkyrie.’ "Sources tell the Scoop that 'Valkyrie' is nowhere near as exciting as a thriller should be, and Tom Cruise’s performance elicits uncomfortable and inappropriate laughs." I have to admit, I giggled through the trailer when I saw it in front of Quantum of Solace. I couldn't even put my finger on why he seemed so wrong for the role--he just was.
