Saturday night, tired

Okay, before we start with the linkspam catch-up, I have a musical request. One of my top favorite songs ever, seriously ever, for reasons even I can't fully fathom, is the Divinyls' "Pleasure and Pain." Here is the original, 3:50 in length. Now, I have been looking for a long time for an extended version, which I did find (here's that one, 4:32 in ( Read more... )

stardust, harry potter, narnia, movies, neil gaiman, pirates of the caribbean, brokeback mountain, books, his dark materials, cloverfield, music, x-files, asshaberdashery

Oh god. Oh god.

That article by the screenwriter for The Dark is Rising is so very frustrating. That man is talking out of his ass. God. DO NOT WANT. ICON DOES NOT WANT EITHER.

What I find so interesting is that his idea of the story being about family, well... that's not all that crazy in and of itself. But it also doesn't explain all the severe, non-family-related moments of fail in that trailer. How'd that happen, pal?

It was the "Harry Potter is great. That many people can't be wrong." bit that had me rolling on the floor. Uh, remember this little thing called Nazi Germany? Were that many people right as well?

And Goodwin gets splattered all over the windshield five seconds after the debate cars have started the race. NOBODY saw this coming.

Okay I can buy Keira in the biography but for the love of all things, can't somebody in the promoting of said movie get it right that the Duchess was one of Di's ancestors.

*gets off of the Princess of Wales history soapbox now* ROFLMAO!!!

Oh. My. God. Can John Hodge please go get hit by a truck? Seriously. I would like that. In fact, I would put it on YouTube.

Ooh, how about he gets hit by a truck full of copies of Susan Cooper's books?

I would watch that.

And there would be the sound of distant cheering...

Totally Off Topic, but your icon just makes me LOL! I so wish I'd done that in a math test, somewhere in my high school career! ;D

Re: How to save our show. So a letter like: "Dear Bonnie Hammer. You are a vindictive bitch whose only joy in life is crushing the hearts of Sci-fi geeks, whose sole enjoyment is dervied from an hour a week of your former programming. Burn in hell" isn't a good idea? Oh. Well, I can still write about renewing The Dresden Files *sigh*

Damn, Ben Barnes is fineThe obits made me snicker. Well, except for Lupin and Tonks's, but there weren't any jokes there. I especally liked Bellatrix's guinea pigs, and "REDACT, REDACT, POTTER IS ALIVE ( ... )

What on Earth is with Emma Watson's site? The Flash is killing my Internet!

No joke. I never thought I'd find an official site worse than Melanie Griffith's.

The more I read about The Dark is Rising the crankier I get. Now it seems the screenwriter is projecting his own issues in order to fuck up a completely lovely story, which, ew.

At the moment, the only person attached to this whole mess not feeling my wrath is Christopher Eccleston. For he is Christopher Eccleston, and also, he gets to play the Rider. COME ON.

He is Christopher Eccleston, and he's playing a horse-riding baddie in leather. It is a travesty that there must be something wrong in this scenario.

rclementmoore August 5 2007, 16:30:07 UTC

Eccleston is not free from my wrath. Because he is in it, I will be forced to sit through this travesty of an adaptation of one of my favorite books ever.
