Hilarious capping of THAT SCENE from Island of the Haunted by Piecesof.


And now: some thoughts on Twilight and New Moon, by Stephenie Meyer

( I am torn between love of Alice and love of Carlisle )

I'm just clearing out some links:

Prince Caspian has been cast.

Hmm. One Cranky Asian During the Oscar Season.

Some very pretty Children of Dune icons.

An awesome set of Pretender icons.

The impact of daggy vs revealing sporting uniforms on the sporting choices of girls.

I stumbled across fragglevids; I wish it was active at all, but I hold out hope!


And also, I'm really grateful to everyone who has left a comment on my list of instances of languages other than English in English language texts, but if anyone wanted to mention it on their flist or whatever so I could get more examples, that would be really awesome.

Stuff:
An awesome Shiri Appleby photoshoot here.
Fahye wrote a Stealth/TWW crossover: untitled.
Sloane wrote some James Bond fic, post Casino Royale: Non Sufficit. I love Sloane (and her fic) <33.
Imry wrote Narnia: Lay Down Your Jewelled Head (Lucy and Edmund, for meeee); Lights That Were Golden (Susan, returned from Narnia). Imry is so awesome.
Grace Park does the robot (and also there is some other BSG stuff at SC's journal).



A Meme:

There's a meme going on at ack_attack's lj, where you post your username and Let your friends tell you what reminds them of YOU! It can be a picture, a song, an icon, a video, an inside joke, a celebrity they think you look like - whatevah!

And I am fascinated. I would love to know what reminds people of me, but I am not actually a fan of these huge, multipage memes. All those names I've never seen before kind of intimidate me (amongst other things). So this is twofold: please tell me what reminds you of me! And, if you want me to, I am happy to reciprocate (here, or elsewhere). Although a caveat: if nothing reminds me of you, I will let you know.

So, again in the interest of how quiet the internets are today, a post of links.

My favourite Back Dorm Boys clip: 不得不爱.

Recently there was an Australian movie called Boy Town. The premise: Boy Town (population five) were a wildly successful boyband in the eighties, before they fell to obscurity. The movie follows their attempts to become successful again, and it spoofs reality television and the popularity of the modern boy band, and it's fabulous. If you have a chance to see this movie, you should, because it's very good and it's quite funny. And not in that slapstick, embarrassing way either, but in a genuinely funny sort of way. I Cry, which was the trailer for the movie, and Special Time of the Month. The songs are so awesome, the tunes are catchy and I love the lyrics - my favourite is probably 'Tough Titties,' and I really want to buy the soundtrack (I just keep forgetting to go to JB's). And I'm going to stop flailing about it now!

Something you should watch (but not if you're feeling sad): Kiwi!

Whose team are you on? Team Servilia vs Team Atia.

We've just started on season four Pretender. Sometimes, I think that Mr Parker actually loves his daughter. Lyle has this crazy hardon for his sister and for Jarod, and the next time you send me into a building that's about to explode, she says, you'd better make sure it explodes. And the boxes that Jarod leaves for her are like love letters. So a tP vid, in amongst these links: Blind, a vid by StuckHere.


OH WOW. Just as I thought I was ready to make a new header, move on from All Pretender, All the Time, I start rewatching s4 and nope. Sorry.

sinful_caeser has some Grace Park photos here and they are from an awesome photo shoot. I love them.

In addition, SC also has photos of a Jamie Bamber photo shoot here, and they're HYSTERICAL. I particularly love the one with the robotic dog.

Also from sinful_caesar, the coolest Bones promos.

Shiri Appleby, fugged.

Finite Simple Group (of order two), an hilarious song about maths.

bellanut has an ode to season three of Spooks. That ode is in pictures.

I don't even know from where I got this link, but A is for Albus, who choked on a sweet, through to Z is for Zabini, Blaise, the late. It's a bit contrived, but oh how I wish I could draw.

A, Miscellany:

Signups for the xmmficathon ficathon close Saturday. Sign up!

Ginnifer Goodwin photoshoot

Amanda Seyfried looking awesome

Seth Green and Nicholas Brendan gropage.

This is the most awesome advertisement for anything ever.

Kovsky made a list of recs for The Office fic.

Stop British movies from flopping by looking to Australian films for guidance? Clearly crack smokers!

Stacy's dad is gay, a BSC theory.

Pinky and The Brain do Prison Break.

Roswell:
There are a whole bunch of gorgeous Michael/Maria and Brendan/Majandra icons here. Even after all these years, I still consider Majandra one of the most beautiful women in the world. And even if you have a problem with RPF, it's okay to ship Brendan and Majandra, because they really were a couple for years, and now that they've split they've got joint custody of their boxers (the dogs).
Amy wins for this.

Muppets:
Sesame Street vids that Jules found on youtube.

X-Men:
Some icons I have liked: here and here.
I'd like to mention x3denialfic, for any not based on x3 canon stories.

A, Miscellany:
There are some random love memes going on, just these huge, sprawling things, here and here, but if you're really interested, there's a BSG specific one here, which I think you should all play because it's nice to receive some affection and/or appreciation sometimes.
Yee & Lan: the most adorable story about planets ever.

A Favour: No hurry, but sometime in the next week or so I'm going to require a beta for a Stargate: Atlantis fic. It's for the Teylaficathon, except I accidentally sort of - well, I've had a few problems thematically, so this won't be a simple point and shoot beta.

I updated unproductive with 12 x Law and Order: SVU and 13 x BSG recs.

A picspam of Tina Majorino, brought to you by an unstoppable army of lizzens!

HP: Slytherins on a plane!

Here are some MirrorMask icons by Imry; also some cool stills (not by Imry).

fox1013 made about on bazillion icons of The Muppet Movie.

The Office golf photoshoot.

Dilbert's ultimate house.

The Abhorsen Trilogy:
In a conversation with koalathebear here, where she briefly outlines why people should read the Abhorsen Trilogy, it occurred to me that I once wrote Abhorsen fic, and never mentioned it here. So I shall link it now: A Time For, about Sabriel and the bells and the time after Rogir. And it's not the best I've ever written (and was written about thirteen months ago), but there. I've linked it now.

The Abhorsen Trilogy is a trilogy of books set in The Old Kingdom, where there is magic and old spirits. Sabriel is sent to live across the wall in Anclestierre as a child, because away from the Old Kingdom magic does not work as well, and her father wanted her to learn and be safe. Anyway, that makes it sound lame, but the first book, Sabriel, was the seminal book of my high school years. I read it when I was thirteen, and I was obsessed from that point on with the science fiction (and fantasy) section of my local library. So. I just want to put that out there.

Narnia:
koalathebear has a whole lot of caps and also some thoughts.

Random Fandom:
The SVU valentines
A whole lot of Serenity cast photos
Jason Behr, hot and in black and white and tied down. A photoshoot.

Fic:
The One Where Ken Meets GI Joe, by fryadvocate. I think the title tells you all you really need to know.
Almost Was Good Enough, by maddeinin. Narnia. Susan, there and back again and it's so soft and sad. It's AWESOME.
Sidekick by 3jane. A DCU/BSG crossover. Roy and Lee.
Secret Identities, by resmin. DCU/Smallville. The thing about secret identities that the new Batgirl hasn't figured out yet is that they're supposed to be *secret*.

In conclusion, for serious guys, I want some Anna Nalick. I have Breathe, Consider This, In My Head and Catalyst. FURNISH ME, FLIST.

Constantine:
I am very slowly working my way through Constantine things, but first you should all be entertained by this review of the movie.

Narnia:
These Anna and William icons (scroll down) reminds me that I found the crazy fireplace photoshoot in large. You need to register, but it is worth it OMG. roz_mcclure and twinkledru I AM LOOKING AT YOU.
Some nice textless movie icons
A whole set of promotional pictures

HP:
I don't know how I feel about this. A Cedric and Cho fanfiction page that has what seems to be a complete list of links to fics written about Cho and Cedric. And I suppose it's like me compiling my lists or whatever, but still, it throws me a little to see links to my fics there.
ALSO, on that note, why is that Out from Under is specifically listed as "Cho's POV"? Why does that need to be specified? It is a Cho and Cedric page! Why is primacy then given to Cedric's POV? HELLO HP FANDOM WE'RE STILL HAVING ISSUES HERE.

BSG:
There are random Gaeta and Dee ficlets to be had. And they are HILARIOUS. AND CYLON FILLED.

DCU:
Gotham Public Works: an AWESOME site of some Gotham City cosplayers.

Random Fandom:
A review of Memoirs of a Geisha by somseone from the hanamachi district.
An incest challenge - a lot of fic for many fandoms in the comments.

Random Things:
