This is probably the funniest thing I've read (or heard) in about a week. Thank you, thank you, Mr. Isaacs.

Heath Ledger, 28, Found Dead in NYC Apartment

First Brad Renfro, now Heath. This tears me up, as A Knight's Tale is one of my favorite films, and I am adamantly looking forward to seeing Dark Knight this summer, and his take on The Joker.

I'm so shocked by this I simply don't know what to say about it.

Okay, so, I don't know how many on my f-list watched this last night, but Masterpiece Theatre on PBS began its Jane Austen adaptation series last night. Hosted by Scully (Gillian Anderson), no less! I was all atwitter with anticipation, as the very first installment was set as a new adaptation of Persuasion, my all-time favorite Austen book. Yay, ( Read more... )

So... I just saw Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End for the first time. *gobsmacked ( Read more... )

*sigh* Unfortunately, CBS did not give me what I really wanted for Christmas: an official website for the mini-series Comanche Moon. Apparently, broadcasting conglomerates are as bad at picking up on my telepathic suggestions as my mother, who once again gave me a bag of dried banana chips, despite the fact that I really don't like dried banana ( Read more... )

Mel B. and Maks were totally robbed last night. Robbed, I say! Doesn't everyone know they were supposed to vote for them because Maks' arse is totally the Eighth Wonder of the World? And this is the last thing ever - EVER! - about Dancing with the Stars that I will post in this journal.

Ugh. I have developed the biggest geek-crush of my life on ( Read more... )

So... somehow my most stupid of cats (the hair eating, bathroom sink pissing, random screaming, cat who tries to hump anything made of fabric) set his tail on fire today. Yes, you read right - tail, on fire. And, let me tell you, burning cat tail takes the cake for bad smells. I keep thinking this cat has finally done all the odd things a cat ( Read more... )

The only good thing about crappy drive-time radio shows is that they occasionally point out something priceless. Like, classic footage of Alice Cooper dancing around with Muppets and singing "Welcome to My Nightmare". I just about laughed myself silly with joy, remembering how wonderfully strange The Muppet Show often was. Ah, memories ( Read more... )

Okay, am finally getting around to talking about some of the movies I've seen over the last couple of weeks. It's a diverse list, and I still have Prick Up Your Ears to finish at home tonight (damn that young Gary Oldman, he's simply too engaging and crazy at the same time).

( Gangster No. 1, or that movie in which Paul Bettany aims lots of suggestive looks at David Thewlis )

OMG, MY CAT KEEPS TRYING TO EAT MY HAIR. Does anyone else have this problem? It's especially bad after I've washed my hair and am letting it dry naturally. Then the little snit practically falls all over himself in his attempts to sneak up behind me. The first time he did this was cute and hysterical, but now it's just creepy and worrisome. I'm ( Read more... )
