First of all: in case you missed it, since I did post on a Saturday when everyone was out actually doing things,
there is a new Secret Life of Dolls. And bless y'all for actually commenting on the "
Explain what you like about Secret Life" entry; I didn't think you'd actually do it. I was hoping for maybe a couple of quotes I could use in the future, not 100+ comments. Bless. So I have now written the next four entries (
you can see some of the titles here; two of them are just too spoilery to post), and I'll have to take pictures, but I hope we can get to #78 by Halloween, and since they're drafted, I don't see any reason why (OH GOD DON'T LET THE HOUSE BURN DOWN) we can't.
Meanwhile, I was extremely productive yesterday because my internet connection decided to hate me. Over and over and over again. As such, there was no linkspam. But a few key things happened, and I would like to mention them briefly and then catch other things later tonight or tomorrow:
'Titanic' co-star Gloria Stuart dies at 100;
Gloria Stuart: Remembering the ‘Titanic’ grande dame. Tarantino's Longtime Editor, Sally Menke, 56, Dies in Los Angeles Heat Wave. Is 'The Hobbit' Cursed? Peter Jackson Threatens to Move Production Over Union Woes. Did you guys try to film something over an ancient burial ground? Because, seriously, I can't figure out why we can't make this happen.
This is the best publishing wank in a long, long time. A Turkish woman criticizes Christopher Pike's sloppy, stereotypical take on Turkey in The Secret of Ka. A Pike editor shows up to mansplain to her why it's all totes okay and she doesn't know anything anyway. Then it is revealed in the ETA that... the "editor" IS Christopher Pike. Also, he leaves himself sockpuppet reviews about how his own books are masterpieces that changed his life. AMAZING.
Teaser Trailer for the Coen Brothers' 'True Grit.' Aronofsky in the Running to Direct Superman leading to
inevitable speculation that Natalie Portman will play Lois Lane. First Look at Daniel Radcliffe in Woman in Black. I... how old is he, again? I don't feel so good.
Snicker Bitch
Maggie Grace to play villain Irina in ‘Breaking Dawn.’ She and Ian Somehalder need to go out for drinks and shoot the stepcest vampire breeze or something.
Newcomer Mackenzie Foy to play Renesmee in ‘Breaking Dawn.’ You guys.
It's really happening.
