I was the one who had to wait for the pizza to be delivered because my mother was otherwise occupied: "I AM GOING TO BE WATCHING THE SUGAR BOWL!" And I was like, what? Why? What the hell do you expect it to do?

I'm not allowed downstairs for the duration of the game now.

Things I did today that were awesome: Actually got off the computer and read

It goes to show how out of it I am that I thought Lionsgate had already kicked the bucket. *shrugs*

[siliconhero]

Me too. In fact, I thought they'd bowed out two years ago.

The MAJOR DOCTOR WHO SPOILER is that tomorrow night they'll be announcing who's replacing David Tennant, so...not that major yet, really. Just Prelude to a Wank.

Here's the io9 article: http://io9.com/5122414/new-doctor-who-actor-named-tomorrow

No, I know. It's just that the last time I said they were replacing Tennant (with someone, anyone), people raised holy hell because I posted a "spoiler." I'm saying, when we actually know who the replacement is and I have a link to the announcement, I'll put it up.

[scornedsaint]

Ah, okay. That makes much more sense. I'm sure many helpful, inevitably angry emails will fling your way when it's announced. (Honestly, I'm so out of the loop when it comes to Who news I thought he'd already been recast)

[manekikoneko]

You won't wake up to it unless you sleep in; the show they're announcing it on airs at 5:35 GMT, so it'll be the afternoon before anyone knows.

"Will Lionsgate Be the Next Studio to Kick the Bucket?"

One can only hope. That crap parade of a movie studio should have thrown it in a while ago.

I'm terribly depressed about the death of Jett Travolta. Was it epilepsy? I've heard of people landing badly on their head or neck. My heart goes out to his family.

It's mysterious, actually. Not "Call Dr. House!" mysterious, but no official confirmation of what's going on. Travolta and his reps have always said that Jett had Kawasaki syndrome, but that's not a chronic condition and doesn't seem to account for his symptoms, especially this late in life after he supposedly contracted. There's long been a rumor that Jett really had autism. John Travolta is a Scientologist and they don't acknowledge psychiatric or neurological conditions as real, so that would explain why he would refuse to acknowledge it in public. Actually, Jett could have had autism and Kawasaki syndrome.

[numb3r_5ev3n]

Oh, don't get me started on the Scientologists' tendencies to deny some symptoms are real...that's why I was born seven weeks premature and almost didn't make it. But I really feel badly for the Travolta's loss.

Re: "

[redcoast]

I do too, it's really tragic.

Of course, if it comes out after the autopsy that his parents had something to do with his death because of negligence, my feelings might change, but I sincerely hope that's not the case.

that's why I was born seven weeks premature and almost didn't make it.

Really? Were your parents Scientologists? What happened?

In other news...

I was in a press conference with Zack a couple months ago and he basically said that they're not stopping us from making the movie. In fact it sounded awfully like Fox was contributing to the press and marketing campaign. So it looks to me like a big spoof that just engages. It looks like a big spoof that ends up with a lot of money changing hands down the line and the audience won't notice the difference. But I think Warner Brothers' coffers will be lighter. I think somebody made a mistake along the way, and they're going to pay for it. But I don't think anyone is going to stop the release of the film, that seems foolish for all.

I sure hope to God this is the case. And wow, finally the picture of Twilight Lady!
