Beauty sleep? I must be gorgeous by now

Aug 20, 2007 20:11

God, I hope I'm not coming down with something. Except that I'm always coming down with something, and this time it's being blamed on allergies (my mother seems to be coming down with the same something) since I've been spending a lot of time outside. Basically, I slept all Sunday and woke up sneezing and coughing. Outstanding. Today I still went ( Read more... )

Jessica Biel: It's getting VERY DIFFICULT to find stripper roles where they don't ask you to take your clothes off!

I kind of figured about the crime novel thing. "My wife saw her writing it!" Um . . . yeah, I'll wait for official confirmation.

I have Rowling-related linkspam: Fake eighth HP book getting pulled off shelves. Also, if you scroll down in the article, it says that slash sites are getting shut down. I have a bad feeling about this. I mean, my OTP *points to icon* is safe, but I don't like the idea of censoring fanfic. I'm not big in the HP fandom, but I respect the pairings, barring a) Insane fans, like the ones who went nuts after HPB, or b) Stuff like Harry/Sirius, because that is wrong on more levels than I can contemplate.

I think I saw that article earlier--people are thinking, since it doesn't name any actual sites, that it may be a very garbled version of the deletions here on LJ, plus some statements WB made for a previous article about fanfic.

God, I hope so. One of my favourite fandoms (Anne Rice) was utterly destroyed when the author went on the warpath about fanfiction. What did WB say?

*is thankful that the author of my slash OTP died in 1885*

OH COME ON, LIKE WE EVER THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO STAY IN. We're damn lucky it looks as faithful as it does.

I just hope they keep the gay angels.

All they even have to be is male. Fandom can supply the rest.

Wicked, wrong, and utterly vulgar.

I salute you, madam.

You know what's weird about that? One of them was a woman when they were alive. I don't understand why everyone thinks they're gay. One was a man, one was a woman, and now they are both just angels. Maybe I missed something -- I read the books a while ago.

Oh, badness. I could see Kristen Bell maybe fitting in on Lost. Maybe. But not on Heroes.

That "10 movies" article lost me about two paragraphs in, right where they said that Becoming Jane was "superbly written". I swear, nothing has made me want to smack people through the internet more than reading all the glowing reviews for that...thing.

And seriously, cutting the anti-religious bits out of The Golden Compass? Not a surprise. I feel like I should really finish The Amber Spyglass before that movie comes out, though. I guess I have a couple years.
