It's Not Easy Being Green

Happy birthday anteka & leeshy_s!!

For Australians not wanting to miss out on Australian shows, austvclub.

Why did they recast Pansy? I know movie!Pansy didn't resemble book!Pansy in any way, shape or form, but I liked her. This one looks a lot more like book!Pansy, I suppose, but recasting just irritates me.

WTF Bobby Flynn released a CD?!?! DO WANT. CANNOT AFFORD. *cries* Also, does anyone have Roar! (Cloverfield Overture)? It sounded so great.

By the way, did everyone who's seen Cloverfield read Cloverfield in 15 minutes? If not, WHY NOT?

LOL, got this off foxysd: Sendhil in a drunken Zach sandwich.

KTHXBYE. This made me laugh way harder than it had any right to.

Uh, not that I'm complaining, but looks like the BSG fans pulled out a Supernatural-style fan force for that one. GO TAHMOH. SEXIEST MAN THERE BY FAR.

I'm seeing 100% chance of giant fucking monsters
Green Queen

Ugh. I couldn't get to sleep last night, and today I had to get up early for a work meeting (which went forever and was sort of uncomfortable). Then I had to go shopping (with Clare, Tom, Melissa, Erin, Helen, Helen's mother and my mother), which I hate (though I did find something to wear for my mother's Op Shop birthday party - it's a matching cream-coloured bow-tie & vest. I love it.) And THEN I went to the gym. Tonight I played chocolate Cluedo and watched Bride & Prejudice with Clare and melissajane14 and by the time I got into my bedroom at all of 11 pm I wanted to collapse on top of the bed and sleep. The dog protested and kicked me off.

MOAR MUSIC PLEASE! Does anyone have Respect by Aretha? And anything else that's good party music?

LOL Adrian Pasdar uploaded videos of Masi Oka doing 'Yatta!' in Time Square to YouTube. Nobody even notices, and some guy actually asks Masi to take a photo for him. It's pretty funny.

Hints about new Heroes villains. Really, they're just teasing us at this stage - it's hardly spoilers.

Ausiello interviews Kripke.
We are not turning into One Tree Hill with monsters — I swear. I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
He really know how to put things delicately, doesn't he? Although I did like this:
Our fans are notoriously protective of our boys.
Comparisons between Buffy and Supernatural always get my hackles up.

There's a few genuinely amazing Hairspray graphics here - I like the banners.

Stephen King: J.K. Rowling's Ministry of Magic. The pre-release spoilers were cruel, man, I don't care what he says. Also, I feel like there's plenty of time now for critics to look critically at Harry Potter, and if he thinks blogs haven't been analysing language and plot in depth...man, he ain't reading the same blogs as me.
Dan Radcliffe talked about his reactions too. I think that's an old link. LINK! One-track mind? Nah, at least two.
(Speaking of which, I was playing games on my phone while 'watching' B&P tonight and at one point I put it down and went 'Boytouching coming up, ready? Now.' Melissa laughed at me. I can't help it if I like the boytouching!)

ETA: Yeah, there were four coding mistakes the first time I typed this out. I am TIRED.

You know how my journal has pretty much become Potter central lately? What with both the fifth movie and the seventh book coming out REALLY RIDICULOUSLY SOON, this will only escalate. If you hate Harry Potter, you might wanna take a holiday from my journal for a few weeks. *ponders* actually, if you hate Harry Potter, why are you here anyway? Heartless heathen.

I have 3 windows chock full of tabs open to share with you guys tonight :)

LotR boys:
nothing_to_say made a bunch of caps from a rare Dom & Billy interview. DOM IN GLASSES!
morebliss made a little LotR boys spam that is supercute.

Harry Potter stuff:
The movie premiered in Tokyo.
First newspaper review of OotP. OMG it's like TWO WEEKS away, you guys!

Veronica Mars stuff:
Ask Muhney a question on a new Dutch site.
Jason Dohring's been cast in the new Angel ripoff. Which I will totally be watching, by the way, but that pretty much crushes ANY hope of the TV show coming back.
Not-quite-news about the possible comic book.

Icons!
Cool movie icons including some rare stuff like Some Like it Hot.
Nice Lost icons here and here.
Speaking of icons, wtf is up with all these private communities? I'm not joining any community just to get icons.
I like the Nathan 'Big Damn Hero' ones here.

Joss-related stuff:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTIAN KANE! Sexy omg. See below for pictures XD On the subject of Christian you can see a video from Kane's England tour at YouTube.
River is Triumphant statue which you can buy, and you can also pre-order Inara Strikes. I'm waiting for "Simon Gets Naked."
2007's 'Can't Stop the Serenity' take eclipses 2006's. Yay, you guys!
Joss Whedon & Marti Noxon attended a Buffy Sing-along. LOVE.

Adorable video of the BSG cast, and part 2. Be warned: very long.

Ryan Gosling cast as the father in The Lovely Bones. He's very young for the part, apparently.

Breakthrough male stars of summer according to MSNBC. Wow, so many boys I love right there. How can Dan Futterman POSSIBLY be a breakthrough male star, though? He won a screenwriting Oscar for Capote! Srsly.

TV Guide's Top 30 Cult TV Shows. Firefly needs to be higher.

Old pictures of John Barrowman. WIN WIN WIN.

Masi at the Ratatouille premiere and with Hayden at the launch of the OotP game. Is it wrong that I want to see the game and not them?

Any Aussies with Exetel might want to read about how their hosted MP3's are being taken down at night.

From leeshy_s: List seven songs you are into right now, no matter what the genre,whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your LiveJournal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.

1. Wonderful by Leon
2. Anna Banana by Two Shots for Poe
3. Effect and Cause by The White Stripes
4. Another Girl by The Beatles
5. Eee-O Eleven by Sammy Davis Jr.
6. Lollipop by Mika
7. The Order of the Phoenix soundtrack sample by Nicholas Hooper

Oooh, they're all so modern and current! Well, mostly. I tag Bob Saget.

22 days - detour to Atlanta
Green Queen

Today was really fun, if not overly exciting (except for the parts where tuatha_de broke up with his girlfriend and my side hurt like a motherfrakker.) I hung out at home with Mika and Mitchell, went to coffee with Mitchell and Melissa, and played boggle with Melissa. Too much excitement to handle!! LOL. I've had loads of painkillers and a little alcohol too, so I'm feeling pretty good. ;)

Much like the Grimmauld Place kitchen tour, you can now tour Umbridge's office.

Covet.

OMG! Wife, looking the hottest she's looked in ages. Goooorgeous.

This song, off The White Stripes' new album Icky Thump, is like my family theme song right now: Effect and Cause. THIS IS WHAT MY SISTER AND FATHER KEEP DOING.

The Phuck Attack Icon Challenge! This is going to be really fun. I claimed Chris :) Also, phuck made Harry Potter spell icons.

27 days - welcome to the winter of our discontent

Okay, there is a clip of the next Veronica Mars episode up on CWTV and it is PIZTASTIC.

Speaking of PIZTASTIC, I got two new Two Shots for Poe songs from superfrayed's LJ:
New York You've Done It Again
Three Blind Mice
Anna Banana's still my favourite, though.

Seriously awesome SPOILERY Heroes article with a picture that I can't wait to see big. Covers are here. MASI & ADRIAN FTW. Even if Adrian's looking a little Sylar right there.

While reading that I checked the links at the side of the page and found a couple of great Battlestar Galactica interviews. Also VERY SPOILERY.

Go vote for your favourite show! It's a French contest.

Review of the upcoming Supernatural episode that specifically asks the question: Who knew Ackles was such a strong actor?
Uh, hi. WE DID.

The Chaser & Spicks & Specks boytouching videos FTW!!! I love the Adam/Hamish kills. Spicks & Specks is my favourite non-fandom show.

Okay! I have an icon community: thegreenscene. But, as you can see, I haven't done anything with it yet, and I'm not sure how to go about prettifying it on a free account. Any tips?

I love Frank Iero. You know, fyi. I love how he totally calls people on their shit all the time. He also has the sexiest voice of everyone in the group. And he's so pretty. Also, does one just automatically friend people back on MySpace no matter how godawful they are? I suppose it doesn't matter since you don't have a friends list. LJ is so much easier.

This is my favourite gag ever.

Entourage hires picspam!

Kristin Veitch asks the Lost cast questions. Largely boring questions, though the cast is cute (Dom especially, n'awww!)

Keep guessing TV shows!

Does anyone have the Goonies soundtrack? I watched it tonight with Mitchell. I love that movie.

Aaron Douglas (Chief Tyrol), Karl Urban (Eomer), Billy Dee Williams (LANDO CALRISSIEN omg) and Ron Glass (Book) are going to be in BRISBANE in APRIL. Queenslanders had BETTER be going - I sure as hell can't afford it. I went up a few years ago, but that was for Sean fucking Astin.

OMG YOU GUYS TAHMOH IS WINNING NOW! I love the power of fandom.

Dom TV Guide outtakes posted by dryope.

I'm not usually much for the fancy 'save our show' ideas, but this Veronica Mars one is cute. You'll never guess whose ID I'm sending.

LOL! ack_attack (of course) Hilarious Lost icons - spoilers for 3.12 'The Man From Tallahassee'.

Reasons to be nice to people in fandom.

The Lady is a Tramp:

Eventually, I will have my entire flist educated on the merits of big band/jazz music.

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.

Jared & Jensen posing with postcards sent by cards. Cyrus Yavneh, too. Best comment, by the_oscar_cat:
Jensen holding 'lunch' and Jared holding 'LUNCH!!!1!
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!

Wife doing stuff!

Okay, if ANYBODY has a spare pro-Snape sticker from the Borders promotion for Harry Potter, can I PLEASE have one? I would be SO appreciative. Thankyou!!

I haven't mentioned how awesome Nathan Fillion is lately, but 'I Do' was on TV tonight, and OMG I absolutely love him. Really. Every time Kate was all 'I love you!' and hugging and kissing him I was thinking 'right there with you, sister.'

ack_attack's having a Jack Face Caption Contest, so go get on board!

Lost renewed for a fourth season! I mean, it wasn't in doubt very much, but I'm still really happy. I still love my show. (Unless they do you-know-what.)

Battlestar Galactica fans, ask Bear McReary a question!

Peter Jackson has a cameo in Hot Fuzz! I HAVE to see this movie. OMG.

Seven seasons of Buffy icons. Want. Take. Have. Meanwhile, my beloved Bronze went away again and now it's all next-gen and confusing and not comfortable. I am sad.
