Sometimes, I open the browser to start blogging, and then I get distracted by the Internet. I have planned 3 separate blogs out today. None of them will come to pass, at least not today.
Sigh.
HERE ARE SOME THINGS:
1. America Ferrera got married! And looked GORGEOUS:
Seriously. AND, in the world of things that warm my heart and moisten my eyes: Blake Lively and Amber Tamblyn, aka Bee and Tibby in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, (in which America played Carmen), were there! They're really friends! Apparently Rory Gilmore (aka Alexis Bledel, aka Lena in TSofTP) had better things to do, what with her phenominally successful career and all...oh wait.
2. I stumbled across a website of Harry Potter related things, and have found myself in a glass case of emotion about the final film. I just......ugggghhhhh. The 2nd half of the Deathly Hallows is like having JK Rowling repeatedly punching me in the face with sorrow while I can't stop audibly weeping. I mean, come on. Come ON. And this will be the movie, that when they mess things up, make them different from the books, as I KNOW they will, I will freak out like a crazy person in the middle of the theater, and throw my body through the screen like a human torpedo. No, just kidding. Kind of. Although I'm crossing my fingers, because they did a very good job in the last one, of not doing stupid made up things, or destroying important scenes by making them different from the books in important ways. Except for that one scene that was actually the most important in the movie that they did not do to my liking. Sigh. But ohhh my god. Fred! The resurrection stone! Ron! Hermione! Everyone! Everything! Arrggghhh!
In the immortal words of Colleen Weiler, performing Destiny's Child's "Emotions" in her senior year audition for Measure 13, the a cappella group at St. John Fisher College, from which she was cut by freshman director Megan Newell, possibly in part because she spilled chili on Megan at the first Fisher Players meeting of the year, "It's just emotions taking me over, caught up in sorrow, lost in the soul".
3. So in the summer of 2006, there were few people I hated more in the world than Katharine McPhee. She was the second place finisher on American Idol, season 5, finishing ahead of both Chris Daughtry and Elliot Yamin, which was straight up blasphemy, considering how soul-sucking-ly annoying and over-hyped she was. WELL I just heard about a new show called Smash, on NBC next...winter? I think? Anyway, it stars Katharine McPhee, which is something I'll have to deal with, BUT it's a musical show, about makin' it in the theatre biz! And more importantly, it costars DEBRA MESSING and CHRISTIAN BORLE and MEGAN HILTY and ANGELICA HUSTON and THAT BRITISH GUY THAT'S IN STUFF! It might be great! It might also go the way of Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip (Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford?! What a winning combination! This show is a guaranteed success! No.) or Mr. Sunshine (Matthew Perry and Allison Janney?! What a winning combination! This show is a guaranteed success! No.) (Matthew Perry, please just do Friends 2: Electric Boogaloo).
In closing, I hope you have Emotions stuck in your head for the rest of your life like I now do. You're welcome.
I saw Smash advertise this week, as well. LOOKS AWESOME!! I hope it makes it...K Mac can be annoying at times...she's just so damn goody-goody 2 shoes. But...hopefully her acting skills outweigh her elitist persona.
ReplyDeleteUm, I totally watched studio 60 (mostly because I was a West Wing slut) and Erin and I will think of you when we see Harry, Hermoine and Ron!
