Re: Fox picking up Narnia news: Am I really the only person who enjoyed Prince Caspian? I'm not saying either of the two Narnia movies are perfect, but I love them both and didn't find either one of them to be any kind of travesty.

(Although, yeah, Aslan's headgames in the second movie were kind of bullshit.)

Breaking news: Taylor Lautner Locked In For 'New Moon.' And those of us on Team Sparkle Motion rub our hands with a low, evil laugh. Meanwhile: Who Should Play Leah Clearwater In ‘New Moon’? An MTV Staffer Weighs In (rumor: Vanessa Hudgens to Join 'Twilight' Cast?); Twilight DVD Date, Art ( large enough to frighten children). Also, take your pick: ( Read more... )

So. I didn't get the quiet evening alone I wanted--I realized too late that the church music program my parents were going to (my stepfather plays drums) only lasted two hours; for some reason, I'd thought they'd be out a lot longer. And Lord knows you can't watch The Dark Knight in only two hours.* But the day itself went off quietly and without ( Read more... )

Oh, wow--someone sent me a book, but I'm not sure who it's from? There wasn't any name or card or information with it. It's something I had really wanted to read for Black Ribbon research, though, so--thank you so much, whoever it's from ( Read more... )

Annotated "Dracula" on Wednesday; wrote as much on "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Hidalgo" as I could without the internet (which turned out to be surprisingly little, compared to the other parodies--only 50 notes or so each). Ended up taking Friday and Saturday off, because my eyes had started burning and a bit of the vertigo came back (congestion ( Read more... )

Sweeney Todd: Can't stop listening to soundtrack, plz send help. The extras on the second disc are fairly decent, by the way. No commentary, but--have you ever heard a Tim Burton commentary? Forget a Depp and Burton commentary--the one on Sleepy Hollow was Mumbletown all the way. But there's a few good bits on the costumes (which, if you've spent ( Read more... )

Still congested, tired and lightheaded, so am taking it easy on the journaling front, backlog be damned. Been trucking on with my Sherlock, however--these are the books I have (I'm in the middle of the first one), and this is the third book I'm going to get. I particularly want the annotated A Study in Scarlet in the third book, for reasons that ( Read more... )

Ugh. I'm getting really depressed--not so much moodwise as just functionally, physically depressed. I don't even want to leave the house looking and feeling like this, much less do anything. Like I said before, I think it's seasonally related. It just sucks. Fortunately I have a hair appointment on Monday, which I think should help at least a ( Read more... )

Not a bad day. Not a productive one, but not a bad one, either.

Sister Girl and I were talking just now, and I was telling her about this History of the Universe show Mom was watching (I think?), and how some of the people on it were, like, the dumbest people ever. ( Lauren, I think you're in the wrong field )
