Tom Wolfe wins 'bad sex in fiction' award -- It's really sad reading that article and realizing that you've read better sex in bad fanfiction. Like, really bad fanfiction. Like, Adultfanfiction.net bad.

A new movie trailer for The Interpreter. Sean Penn and Nicole Kidman? Yeah, that'll make me want to see it. *eye roll* However, to offset the boring, it's a new Batman Begins trailer! *squeals and flails* I swear, Christian Bale's got to have a clause in his contract that he has to take his shirt off in every movie he makes. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. If he can be as good a Batman as Michael Keaton while still being pretty, he wins hands down at Angst-Ridden Gajillionaire.

The yule log is going national. Meh. Forgive me if I don't get the appeal of the yule log. It's a log on fire, obviously having been set on fire because it's possessed by an evil Christmas orchestra. And it plays holiday tunes in a futile effort to distract itself from its fiery torture instead of screaming in agony as it burns to death. I swear, there's a much more interesting Christmastime horror story behind the yule log that we're missing out on. Hmph. It probably attacked an orphanage or stomped Tokyo or something. You don't know. Maybe it deserved to get set on fire. Did you ever think of that? Huh? Huh? Did you?!

Ahem. Anyway, ALEX, the freewheeling character on "The O.C." played by Olivia Wilde, will embark on a lesbian relationship with Marissa, says show creator Josh Schwartz. Yes, that's why nobody likes Marissa with Ryan ... because they want to see her kiss a girl. *eye roll* Oh, wait, I'm sorry. I forgot I don't want to see Mischa Barton kiss anyone. Unless it's the nutritionist who tells her it's okay to eat again.

EDIT: You know, I know every Lost fan and their God's-friggin'-gift-to-humanity brother have checked out the anagrams for 'Ethan Rom', but I wonder if anyone besides me has checked out the ones for 'Hugo Reyes'. 'Cause there are some seriously interesting options there.

I love you for things like this (among other things). It's good to know that I have friends who have the same twisted thoughts about things that I do...and are brave enough to say them out loud.

May I quote this on my LJ with a link back to you? It's too great not to share.

Bwahahaha! Personally, I like the "oiled berry" euphemism. Classy..

I saw that and I totally agree

[phillyexpat.livejournal.com]

I read I Am Charlotte Simmons. Normally, I love Tom Wolfe, but lord, that was a BAD book. And the sex scene only gets worse. "Rut rut rut rut RUT."

I kid you not.

Yup. Her tongue "slithered"? ::shudder:: Eyew. Was he on dope when he wrote this? (And not the good kind, mind.)

[whispersinink.livejournal.com]

mmmmm Batman goodness....

[etod.livejournal.com]

I can't *wait* for Batman. And Christian Bale can take his shirt off any time. My personal favorite is in Equilibrium.... *rowr*

[saltroseortopaz.livejournal.com]

Equilibrium; the one with Sean Bean?

So that's who Christian Bale is.

[etod.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's the one. I didn't think I would like it, as I'm not fond of "blow everyone away" action flicks, but I was pleasantly surprised.

[etod.livejournal.com]

And just I realized I just wrote "blow everyone away" which just has a bad conotation when discussing Sean Bean and Christian Bale. Must get mind out of gutter...

[ficangel.livejournal.com]

And it's the very first interpretation that I leapt to, too. Time to step away from fandom and back into the real world of sunshine and puppies and cigars that truly are just cigars, methinks.

[wtfbrain.livejournal.com]

The Interpreter does look pretty boring. And what the hell kind of accent is she supposed to be doing, anyway?!

I want Batman to come out already. It looks quality.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

YoudotoofancyChristianBalesothere. ;P

(It's okay. Christian Bale is a Get Out Of Heterosexuality Card for everybody.)

From your mouth to DC's ears.

[catystorm.livejournal.com]

... why is Qui-Gon JinnLiam Neeson in Batman Begins?

He's playing DUCARD? *has an absolute fangirl moment and dies*

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

This movie makes me happy in ways I can't even begin to describe just in theory. When I see it, I'm probably going to die of the happy. :)

[catystorm.livejournal.com]

I'm going to combust in my glee, that is most assured. When I saw the teaser on the Village, I squee-ed and vibrated and squee-ed again... and everyone within five or six seats turned and STARED at me. XD

God, the movie can't come out fast enough. =D

[etoilepb.livejournal.com]

If prose like that gets published by supposedly respectable authors... well. I should really finish one of my writing projects, because it appears I have nothing to worry about! (A tip for Mr. Wolfe: no word of longer than five syllables should ever appear in a sex scene, no matter HOW clinical you want to be. Yikes.)

Hurley's Anagrams

[drewbeartx.livejournal.com]

Grey house.
Heroes guy?
He Eros guy?
He use orgy?!
...
Yeah, m'man's getting a whole LOT of action off-screen. I knew there was a reason I liked him. ;-)

Re: Hurley's Anagrams

[ladysorka]

He use orgy

He sore guy.

[dragonsinger.livejournal.com]

What were the anagrams for Ethan Rom?

[palmetto.livejournal.com]

Not having looked them up? First one I see is OTher Man.

[fmith.livejournal.com]

That one makes the most sense, I think.

[shadowcat]

Off topic...

I *love* your icon. :)

[fmith.livejournal.com]

Hee, thanks. I got it from weasleys__queen -- there are a bunch of really cool ones over there, if you want Sayid for the holidays or whatever.

[doqz.livejournal.com]

more than

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I know "other man" was the best one, although I noticed "more than," too. Most of the rest were pretty much gibberish.

[dragonsinger.livejournal.com]

Aaaahhhhh....

[fmith.livejournal.com]

I get the feeling that names are really, really, important on 'Lost.' Philosophers, anagrams, fake names, nicknames (who thinks that 'Metro' means 'Boone is totally gay for Jack?')... has anybody looked up the meanings? For example, 'Michael' means 'Who is like God?' in Hebrew according to babynames.com. I don't know if that will have anything to do with anything, but maybe his last name means something. Anyway. Not quite sure what I'm talking about anymore, but I think it might be interesting to go through everyone's name.

[sorcha-feanor.livejournal.com]

HEE ORGY US is my personal favourite anagram for Hugo Reyes *giggles*

[zeelee-penguin.livejournal.com]

How NOT excited am I about the whole "Marissa becomes a lesbian!" storyline? GAH.

I don't get it. How can they do something so perfect--bringing gay onto the show!--yet fuck up and do it to *the most* boring character in the show? Color me mystified.

[tv-elf.livejournal.com]

I dunno. The Yule Log has become one of our twisted traditions. The game is to figure out where the cuts are and when they put a new log on.

Yes, our family needs help. ;)
