Lots of crap for vooooou!

SETH GREEN TURNED 30 TODAY! Please excuse me while I pass out. 30?! Yeah, holy crap batman. He's mighty tasty for a 30-yr-old. ... Did I just say that? o_O

Good news! Only 10 more journals to read and I'm DONE. Two of those are communities. WHOOP!

Whoever came up with the idea for Bruce Willis Sunday deserves to be honored and adored for the rest of their life. Because 4 Bruce Willis movies in a row immediately followed by Farscape (omgtheirloveissopuuure!) is the quickest way to produce "GABBY-GOO! A new and improved product from the makers of ranDOOM! and Billyissomyboyfriend!" /announcer-type voice. *ahem* I am so contented right now, you have no idea. By the way, I don't think I've ever seen "The Siege" before tonight. Was unimpressed. Who puts a movie that barely shows any Bruce on a BRUCE WILLIS MARATHON? Crazy people, that's who. SO not a fan of Denzel Washington, also known as "I'm in every scene in this depressing movie." It's okay though, because John and Aeryn are SO IN LOVE!

OH, AND TONY SHALHOUB WAS IN THE SIEGE! I WAS SO SURPRISED AND EXCITED WHEN I SAW HIM THAT I POINTED AND SQUEALED (okay, so not an abnormal thing for me)! It was very weird for all of 15 minutes to see Tony in a serious movie until he cracked his first joke and all was again right with the world.


For those who have not yet heard: PJ won the award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film at the 56th annual Directors Guild Awards in Los Angeles, Saturday, Feb. 7, 2004.

Frodo Lends a Helping Hand

There was an uproar at the Central Japan International Airport as fans assembled to meet the stars of the last film in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy: The Return of the King. Actors Elijah Wood, Viggo Mortenson, Andy Serkis, Dominic Monaghan, Billy Boyd and director Peter Jackson were given a very warm welcome as they stepped off the plane, with fans showering them with bouquets of flowers. Young Japanese girls were screaming for Elijah Wood as he led the group. The mob of fans were so excited that amidst the rush to get signatures, two fans were pushed to the ground and could have been seriously hurt had not Wood managed to notice. He diverted the large crowd and helped the two up asking if they were alright. Return of the King will be showing here on February 14.

Have I mentioned that I adore him lately? 'Cause I do.

Yet another article on RotK. Personally I think FOTR is PJ's "Crowning Achievement," but that's just me.

---

An article out of USA Today.
The studio also has the rights to create its own original prequel or sequel to The Lord of the Rings, but would pursue the projects only if Jackson would be involved again.

If. that. ever. happens. New Line. will. receive. my. wrath. and. fury. in. the. way. of. a. machine gun. and. a. machete. Anger will not even begin to describe my feelings if ever such a project ever arose. I'm praying that PJ has enough sense in his head to reject any such ideas.

A 360-degree view of the RotK New Zealand Premiere. Use your 'shift' key to zoom in, 'ctrl' to zoom back out, and hold down your mouse and drag it to see all around. WHOA-OH. THIS IS THE COOLEST THING EVER! And am I mistaken, or are there HOBBITSES on the red carpet? Okay, who's wearing the gold jacket? My bets are on Dom. ;) THIS IS COOL, I CAN SEE SO MANY PEOPLE! LOOKIE! IT'S ME CATE BLANCHETTE ME ON THE RED CARPET SNUGGLED NEXT TO... ER, SOMEONE... TO GET MY PICTURE TAKEN! WHOOT! Honestly people, it's the simple things in life.

If EVERYTHING in life were presented in cool 360 degree effects (with a fell beast towering over a building somewhere) world peace would ensue. Because everyone would be home, hunched over their computers like me big assed nerds, giggling over how FREAKIN' COOL THIS IS!!!

Billy singing "Across the Sea" I am dead. DEAD DEAD DEAD. I knew Billy Boyd would someday be the death of me.

January 15: Brit chiller URBAN GHOST STORY to haunt U.S. video

MTI Home Video has announced that it will release the British-made URBAN GHOST STORY on VHS and DVD April 27. Despite the title, this is not an opportunistic African-American-oriented film, but a gritty and evocative supernatural thriller made way back in 1998 (and covered in FANGORIA #198); despite strong response at festivals, it found no U.S. distribution until now. Written, produced and directed by Genevieve Jolliffe and Chris Jones, URBAN GHOST is set in a rundown Scottish tenement where a mother and her young daughter are haunted by spectral forces, and centers on their struggle to find belief and help from an uncaring society as the hauntings only get worse. Stephanie Buttle, Heather Ann Foster and Jason (WISHMASTER 3) Connery star, with a supporting turn by a pre-LORD OF THE RINGS Billy Boyd. MTI has yet to release details of any special features on the DVD.

*dances around the room*

1994 Nickelodeon Magazine article on Elijah and the movie North. I remember seeing this on a shelf when it first came out and begging my mom to buy it for me. She, of course, did not.

And am I the only Elijah fan among us that saw all of his pre-LotR movies BEFORE LotR came out? I'm feeling old here, people!

(gacked from my friends pages)
BSB fans, you know how yesterday was Nick's birthday? Well, he spent the day in the recording studio with the other Boys and Paris Hilton surprised him by coming in with a birthday cake. That seems fine to me, but the birthday cake had a photo of her on it. *rolls eyes* WTF?! That just rubs me the wrong way. If I was Nick, I would be a little worried about that.

[As a BSB fan I should be horrified by this, and yet, all I can think about now are dirty jokes. Help me, I've been corrupted!]

As a Backstreet fan, other people . . .
- Will automatically deduct seven or more years from your age, as well as ten points from your IQ.
- Won't take your opinions of other musicians seriously because you obviously don't know anything about music if you like BSB.
- Will assume that it's all about the BSB's looks and not their vocal ability.
- Won't believe you when you tell them that the Backstreet Boys are a "vocal harmony group."
- Will think that you have a narrow musical taste range and only listen to pop music.
- Won't think twice about the real reason you are a fan.
- Will openly make fun of them in front of you, despite the fact that you haven't said a word about their taste in music.
- Won't realize that any bitterness that you uphold from "simple joking" was a build-up process, seven years in the making.
- Will be shocked to see that you have 40 BSB CDs, but won't think it has anything to do with the actual music on those CDs.
- Won't treat the Backstreet Boys as a group of musicians, but as a disease that you'll hopefully recover from a few years down the road.
- Will ask you when you'll outgrow the BSB, then are appalled when you ask them the same question about, say, The Beatles.

As a Backstreet fan, I . . .
- Will wake up with a smile on my face whenever their CD is in my alarm clock.
- Won't let other people decide whether or not the Backstreet Boys' music is in.
- Will take comfort in the fact that my mood will do nothing but improve when I hear their songs on the radio.
- Won't get sick of a BSB album that I've heard a million times before because I know I'll always find something in a song that I love.
- Will unabashedly cheer for them when their song/music video is #1 on a countdown.
- Won't care if my tickets for their concert are in the back of the venue, just as long as I can still hear them singing live.
- Will listen to other kinds of music, but won't forget where my loyalty remains.
- Won't lose hope that one day they will win a Grammy, become accepted and respected by critics and people the world over, and be viewed as musical legends for rejuvenating as well as dignifying pop music.
- Will support them even when they're not popular.
- Won't forget what I felt like the first time I heard them sing live a cappella.
- Will defend the group in a mature fashion against those who are not so mature.
- Won't get mad at other people for disliking the BSB, as long as they say so in a respectful manner.
- Will always remember that because of my love for their music, I am alive today.

Good lord, every single one of those are right. on.

I am truly passionate.

Find your soul type
at kelly.moranweb.com.


Virtues: You appreciate humor like none other. Puns might even spark laughter in you (TEHY R FUNNI). You seek adventure and connection with your surroundings. You seek friends who will not only share laughs with you but actually form a deep bond of trust and empathy beneath the surface. You look for adventure and courage in people, and variation is necessary to keep you under control. You see yourself as multi-faceted, so you need people who can see you in your many lights. You're constantly trying to figure yourself out while analyzing the people around you. Silly, silly people.

Aspirations: You can't decide what you want to be yet, but you know you want it to be adventures and interesting, with constant changes. You don't know what love will do for you yet, but it's competing with adventure for a place in your heart. An internal conflict has begun: can you be a successful worker, lover, and parent all at once?

Quirks: Noise of any sort is irritating when you're in the mood. Smacking gum, loud chewing, humming- it's about as pleasing as bodily noises. You dislike emaciated people because of jealousy and just plain disgust. You're a procrastinator but a hard worker, too.

Factors: You need constant attention and support. You're high-maintnence, but a great, reliable friend. Nature needs you and you need nature; it's helped thus far, so keep in touch with the outside world.

Future: Who knows! You absolutely need constant change, so vacationing is surely in the cards. Will you settle down or not? Love will find you eventually, as it does to everyone. Will you choose the sweet home life or the rewarding busy-bee life?

gingahsnap25: *giggle* okay, so the guy that pretty much invented LJ lives here in Portland and belongs to a Portland community that I belong to. He commented to someone's post about something and I jokingly replied with "Holy Crap, it's Brad - the LJ guy."
gingahsnap25: he responded with "Holy Crap! It's somebody way to obsessed with LotR!!"
mustang_girl14: hahaha, my dad is treebeard

gingahsnap25: LOL
mustang_girl14: I'm under the weather today, and when I get sick my back acts up (I know, I'm a mess already ain't I?) because of some chronic back pains. So I jumped up from the couch to hightail it down here back to you and my back spasmed so I had to stand there for a minute hunched over taking in deep breaths to relax the muscles
gingahsnap25: oh, sweetie
gingahsnap25: You don't have to feel like you have to rush back to me... I'm trolling the Internet, man
mustang_girl14: and my dad walks up and is like "ooooh, see you can't be doing that any more" and I answered "That's right, because I'm so old and feeble right?" and he says "That's right, when you get to be my age you'll notice how I move very sloooooow and steadily" and that's when I laughed and announced he was Treebeard :D

I should probably take this moment to thank all of you for the links and quotes and things in this post, because I forgot where I got what and feel bad for not giving credit where credit is due. People, be assured that my friends ROCK, okay?

Note to self: I NEED to raid frodoandsam.net AND bagendinn.com desperately. And soon. Honestly, people.

NOTE: [livejournal.com profile] bstem03!!!!!! CLICK HERE IMMEDIATELY!!! I HAVE NOW DECIDED THAT THIS SHALL BE YOUR THEME-SONG AND I WILL BE SINGING IT EVERY FREAKING TIME I SEE YOU OR THINK OF YOU, WHETHER I MENTION IT OR NOT! AAAAHAHAHAHA!

Edit again: TODAY'S THEME FOR THE DAY (B2, this one's for you...):
bria: here take these: Hands you Merry and Pippin (found looting my kitchen) as well as Jack (for some reason he keeps coming back)
bria: *takes Legolas, Will and 'lijah and runs to bedroom, locking the door*
me: "Jack came back the very next day, ooooh jack came back, we thought he was a goner but the Jack came back the very next day..." (ten points to whomever correctly identifies the actual song in question first)

me: "Jack came back the very next day, ooooh jack came back, we thought he was a goner but the Jack came back the very next day..." (ten points to whomever correctly identifies the actual song in question first)

Its, "The cat came back, the very next day oh the cat came back, we thought he was a goner but the cat came back, he just couldnt stay awaaaaaaaay!"

I dont know the title offhand, but thats how the real song goes. I remember it because it used to give me nightmares.

........ dont ask.

[identity profile] lordoflorien.livejournal.com 2004-02-10 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
LMFAO! Well, despite being deranged and weird, you are %100 KEEERRRRECT (Correct in a weird announcer-type voice)!

You have just won yourself 10 points and A BRAND NEW CAR! *GASP SHOCK* Mailing address for where I can send your new "cars of america" stamp? ;)

And come to think of it, I can't remember the title either, but I know it's from "Cats" the musical.

[identity profile] myplanetvenus.livejournal.com 2004-02-10 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
Really? I didnt know it was in Cats. Probably because I've never seen Cats. I just know it used to be on this LP my brother and I would listen to as kids. And I think there was a cartoon w/ it..... eitherway , still creeps me out to this day.
