It's Not Easy Being Green

I've discovered that Mika just changes his music to mimic different artists. Billy Brown could be a Beatles song. I love it. Also, I was all excited about The Fratellis until I discovered they didn't name themselves after The Goonies, so now I don't care.

DEATHLY HALLOWS COVERS! Okay seriously, why is it that only one of the covers for each book can be pretty? The UK covers for OotP and HBP were so pretty and now we get this crap. And all the last US ones have been much nicer. I'm gonna have to get a US copy as well, like I did with OotP. UK one to read, US one to look at. Eventually I'm just going to buy all seven in an adults' box set, because they are the best covers of all. The full, more intense US one is here, and the adult UK one here. VERY HI-RES, that one.

rakshi made a post of Fellowship of the Ring film images with book quotes, then one for The Two Towers. Must-bookmark for any LotR fan.

Vote for TAHMOH, people!! I keep deleting my cookies so I can vote repeatedly.

You know how Nicholas Hoult (the kid from About a Boy) grew up to be inappropriately pretty? Apparently he's also kissing boys. HOLY GUH. I wish Shia would go around kissing boys. (Although getting chummy with Frodo, Mr. Universe and Gina's babydaddy doesn't hurt.)

Huh. One of the Elvis quotes on these icons is pretty much my philosophy on life. I'm debating using it.

Speaking of Supernatural, two fic recs:

Accidents Will Happen by holli, because goth teenagers raise John from the dead and it's actually good. Great outsider perspective, too, and lovely dialogue.

Bad things, Good things, and Paul Bunyan by adibiase, for some of the most disturbingly disgusting imagery ever, with a good emotional kick.

Pinky and the Brain = House and Wilson. FTW!

Joss Whedon - the Dark Horse interview. He's also not overly thrilled with the campaign for Captivity.

Masi!

113 days - mistress of storytelling
Green Queen

I think that I would understand Brokeback if it were in a completely different language. I'd say as a silent film, but then you wouldn't have all the gorgeous soundtrack and aching silences and perfect sound effects. But it's a film that doesn't need a word of intelligable dialogue (and doesn't have that many.) The script is good, but it's visually and aurally perfect. Every scene is its own story and fits into the bigger story, every scene has a purpose, and the visual framing and mise-en-scene is always flawless.

Also, every single ad on TV is sexist.

I'm getting tired of the afternoon thunderstorms we get around here. Also, I was going to see Pan's Labyrinth again tonight with Mitchell but he opted out so I watched The OC instead. It all seems very anti-climactic for an end to a 4-season show. I liked it better this season without Marissa but I still felt like it was too much about the couples and not enough about the other relationships on the show. I miss the Seth/Ryan time mostly.

crumpeteer examines Sam in Born Under a Bad Sign. Much more in-depth than my 'HOLY SHIT THAT'S HOT SEX ME NOW' reaction.

Nominations for the important awards of the season - The Saturn Awards - are up. Children of Men may not have been nominated for an Oscar but if it doesn't win the Saturn there's something wrong with the world. SNAKES ON A PLANE AND SLITHER! I hope the girl from Pan's wins best young actor. Alfonso vs. Guillermo for Best Director is an interesting one. Alfonso Cuaron is my favourite director but Pan's Labyrinth was done beautifully. Heroes, Lost and Veronica Mars are all up against each other for Best Series - that's a hard one for me, and why no Supernatural?? My FAVOURITE category is Best Supporting Actor, there's only one name on that list I don't know and love (but I'm rooting for Masi.)

Also nominated was Battlestar Galactica, and I have a link to pictures from that signing event I told all you Californians to go to but I guess you didn't hear me or something. I want Tahmoh Penikett so badly, holy crap. He's just. I can't even. And I don't LIKE V-neck tops on men.

ack_attack made Jears icons!

These Heroes icons are hilarious.

Heroes cast spam (mostly Hayden, some stalkerazzi) at sinful_caesar.

Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 10 weird habits/things/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks. Then everyone has to post one weird thing about me in the comments. Okay, I made the last bit up. Humour me.

Dom will be on Kimmel.

The transcript of the CW press thing for Supernatural, pictures, pictures and more pictures, GORGEOUS arrival pictures. There's loads more linked from spnnewsletter.

Spoilers for an upcoming episode that seem to me to be very blatantly misleading, but nobody seems to be thinking that. I think that there are some very naive people out there.

Contraversial Rob Thomas interview. Reading this after reading a Kripke transcript has merely reaffirmed one fact in my mind: there is no new Joss Whedon. Joss is a one-off phenomenon who needs to come back to TV and write for us again, because he balances things properly and is funny and engaging and writes beautiful characters and is respectful. In other words, Joss is god and Kripke and Rob Thomas mere mortals.

Meanwhile, Veronica Mars will be temporarily replaced by "Pussycat Dolls: The Search for the Next Doll" in the next break. I think I speak for everyone when I say oh FUCK NO.

Heroes in Las Vegas, at the Winter Press tour.

Masi Oka interview on StarWars.com that I can't see yet. Just two days til I get my broadband connection back, and after that my cousing will be leaving and maybe, just maybe, I'll start to settle into my normal life again. For the last little while he's been staying here and melissajane14 and Clare's friend have been staying pretty much all day every day at the weekends and it's just been a little crazy. I'll get to the icon meme and Jake on SNL and everything soon, I swear.

13 minute BSG gag reel that I can't see.

The cancellation of ELF right after the collapse of the Flanvention doesn't bode well for cons.

I'm not dead, but my connection is, and it's nearly as bad. I have also been busy with family and melissajane14, and I haven't had time to go through my friends list when each page take 15 minutes to load. So if anything's happening, or you want to tell me something, comment here! Please?

LOOK AT THAT PRETTY CAST IN THEIR PRETTY CLOTHES! AND GUESS WHO JUST BLEW HER DOWNLOAD LIMIT? BRING ON THE GOLDEN GLOBES!!!

...I'm not excited at all. It's hard to believe only 11 episodes have aired (and I've only seen 8 of them.) There should be like some 'best character on TV' award that Hiro could win. I love how somebody always has a hand on little Noah's (the CONCERT PIANIST) shoulder. CAST OF GENIUSES. Genii. Whatever. Obviously I don't belong.

There's some Heroes behind-the-scenes stuff here too. I think the picture of Grunberg and Sendhil laughing is just gorgeous.

More stuff! The cast & Masi's reactions to their GG noms. Who NEEDS diamonds? Sendhil's prettier than most women LMAO.

...oh, just go here.

I am such a snob. There were icons I liked but then one had a spelling mistake on it and I didn't like them anymore. O.o

Hi and welcome to the snobbiest HP fan comment I've ever read. IF YOU WEREN'T AROUND HARRY'S AGE WHEN THE BOOKS FIRST CAME OUT AND READ THEM THEN, YOU AREN'T A REAL FAN.

Just a Wentworth Miller quote I thought some would enjoy posted by flamingo_killer:

"Certain people are going to have certain fantasies: if someone wants to imagine me with a woman or a man or one of each, that's cool with me as long as you keep watching the show."
