Lather, Rinse, Maim

Something very darling is coming to the big screen-



So I'm guessing this is the first time she's dropped off at daycare from her POV? (Even though there's been quite a few episodes where she's been put in daycare and has had to deal with lousy caretakers or been a little scared of being away from her parents...)

That movie was good if you could remember 1 thing-"Don't think of it being based on a board game." And while it wasn't great like "The Avengers", it DID have someone who's a part of the Marvel Universe in it-



Yep, Asano-san from "Thor". :D I'm guessing that might be one of the reasons why the movie was released in Japan first because he is a HUGE star there. :)

Also noting Gary Grubbs (Luke's dad from "Growing Pains") and Peter MacNichol ("Ally MacBeal", "Harvey Birdman") make appearances as well. :)

Though the movie overall reminded me of "Independence Day" and "Aces: Iron Eagle II". I'll let you figure that one out on your own...although with that "Aces" reference, it's probably better than failed novel by Brian Griffin where he didn't know he copied the plot of "Aces"...

So if you guys are reading from a place which hasn't gotten far in the show (Like the UK or Australia, for instance...there's no word on Japan, even though you'd THINK with a series where many of the characters dress like Visual Kei artists, it would make perfect sense...) I'd avoid reading this until later.

Anyway, we're unsure if they'll make us wait until October again (I hope not!) but season 2 starts filming in Vancouver in July, so this means there's going to be a big lull until then.

So without further ado, an episode which spawned too many "Kingdom Hearts" and "Eragon" flashbacks...



SEE?!

( Spoilers, Snark and WHAAAAT?! )

This has more dignity than the song "Crank Dat" for something like this...of course, does one think of a Paul Williams-eque tune to be the theme song of a demon possessed psycho?



On the plus side, I haven't listened to the Scissor Sisters in a looong time...

I've been up and down as of late...I hate being in this situation. Even though finding out the real reason for some things is helpful, I'm still upset everything is just stagnant now. Like I try to get back to do things I want, but it doesn't work. I hoped yesterday would've been a distraction, but it wasn't.

On the plus side, I've lost three pounds this week. That's enough encouragement for me.

I will begin by saying this was a good placeholder until "Breaking Dawn Pt. 2". (That didn't run with the trailers, though...)

But if you watched the original series, this is WAY different. They set it in '72 (Which is after the series ended) and a great thing personally, as I love when people make fun of the '70s. (Keep in mind the only version I saw in its entirety was the '90s version...so I'll be referencing that...)

( SPOILERS LIKE WHOA )

In short, the end is very WTF, but if you love when old TV shows are intentionally funny, then check it out. :)

The bad news is, I had applied for a job at the Marriott Lincolnshire box office in hopes of getting close to what I REALLY want to do. And apparently, by the form letter that was sent, they decided to not ask me for a job interview.

I'm down but not out. Except this make me think maybe auditioning would just be easier. Except there's two problems-

1. I'm not sure if I'll be working at the time the fall auditions are held. Sure, I'll have money, but I couldn't ask for time away that soon.

2. I am not sure if I will be considered as I really couldn't afford to enroll in Equity. (There's SAG, AFTRA and Equity...they're all too expensive to enroll in, even though SAG and AFTRA are supposed to be merging.)

And apparently, they're only looking for dancers that can sing in one production. Sorry, but I can only fill half that request. (Besides, I'm not familiar with "My One and Only".)

As for the local theater that I don't have to pay a participation fee for, they don't have any auditions posted. So yeah, I'm disappointed, but I'm not discouraged. I am not going to give up. Giving up made me more miserable than I was when I was trying and I'm not going to do that again.

I had watched that episode of the UK version of "Cracker" Robert was in...which was...scary. (It's on YT, and it has a lot to do with racism and someone snapping to the point he's gone on a killing spree... 0_0 I think I find violent crimes that could happen to innocent people to be the scariest thing in the world. :( ) And thankfully, by the time I sat down to watch this, I wasn't scared anymore. But still, he excels at those 'hide under the bed' performances...



Hmm, what use could he have for that globe?

( Spoilers and Snark )

This is what happens when you have a favorite "Robot Chicken" bit...


Too Much Robot Chicken by ~LaDracul on deviantART

EDIT-The video which spawned it...it gives new meaning to the term "Mustache twirling villainy".

And the "Robot Chicken" bit-

This is just so out of left field...and it's GOOD...

As for my future cosplay efforts, ID'ing wigs for Mr. Gold and Loki have been successful, but I still have to wait before I can do anything. -sigh- (BTW, not happy that Disguise, Inc. hasn't made a replica of Loki's tessaract staff. I'm not paying hundreds for custom built, I'll try to figure out something...)
