In the middle of an Alias rewatch (well, if I can finish up Torchwood that is) and the best part about the series, besides SpyParents, are the blooper reels. Jennifer Garner has the most infectous giggle. No matter how many times I watch these, I always giggle. Today, started out with some crappy news (plus, you know MJ's funeral), so I did this to make myself feel better.



( Stop Is What I Mean.... )

Yes, it's back and a few days early! Technically, this is Wednesday night fangirl fight, but since it is a short week in the U.S. and it's Canada Day today, I thought, well, it's almost Friday. Close enough. This week's fangirl fight might make some of you hate me, but I am expecting that. Believe me, even I don't know who I would vote for. I might have to flip a coin. As usual, please adhere to the following rules. Just be nice. That's all I ask.

Rules of Conduct:
1. The gist:
Imagine yourself at a friend of a friend's party. You mingle with other guests, strike up some conversations, and generally get along with everyone else even if they might not share the same opinions as you do on everything. You don't go ripping on people for having a different view of something, jumping up and down on the couch and calling them stupid. Same rule applies here. Be respectful, agree to disagree when differences present themselves, and never ever make things personal.

2. Don't be a jerk:
Don't start your comments with words like "this may offend some people", "you're so wrong and ...", or anything similar. Nine times out of ten, those words precede a snotty correction directed at another someone else. It's rude, don't do it. Don't talk down to your fellow commenters, don't lecture them, and don't state your opinion as fact.

3. Don't harp on why the other choice is so terrible
Don't build your opinion of your choice up by tearing the other down. If you spend one sentence on why your pick is awesome and fifteen sentences on why the other choice is horrible .. that's what I'm talking about. "I picked X and now I'm going to rant about why Y SUCKS!"

4. Don't bring other fights to this post
I realized that a few people brought debates going on in other people's comms and journals about the poll to comments here. Please don't bring fights going on elsewhere here. Stick to debating comments left in this journal.

5. DON'T ATTACK FANDOMS!
For the love of god, do not single out any fandoms! Do not resort to grouping an entire fandom block into a bunch of adjectives. Don't call fans of something you don't like stupid, childish, dumb, etc. Do not. This last point will get your ass BANNED from ever commenting on my journal again. I'm serious.

Have I scared you all away? Ha. The only thing you really need to remember is just don't be a dick and you will be fine.

The Battle of the Super-Cute Dimples.

( Killed By Dimples ....Lethal! )

I've moved on to another mega-marathon re-watch. Alias, how I've missed you. This show is CRACK, straight up and simple. I do not know how I managed to watched this show once a week without tearing my eyes out waiting for the next episode. First season was full of "oh, snap" endings to episodes. This is how I've cleared two disks a day fo this damn show since the weekend. Alias really is just Jennifer Garner crying, running, crying some more, looking mad, kicking ass, crying, shooting shit, crying and SpyDaddy looking pissed. I love this show. I'm sure I will picspam as soon as Lena Fucking Olin makes an appearance. I say again, I love this show.

Another stuff happening...

— Is anyone else missing Mad Men like crazy? New season three promo that doesn't have an ounce of new footage, but still makes me yearn for the next season like WOAH. I need it. I want it. NOW.

— Interesting story about a journalist visiting Johnny Depp's private island. My word, did Pirates make that much money that he could afford an island?

— Yesterday, the trailer for Rock Band: Beatles was released and HOLY CRAP, it looks amazing. I spazzed for most of this trailer. Ohmigod, you can play Shea Stadium. OHMIGOD, you can harmonize. OHMIGOD, I AM THE WALRUS. I'm dying to play this thing so I can do my Ringo head bob while playing the drums. Unfortunately, I can't sing any of most of these songs. I can't hit McCartney or Lennon notes, but I can kick the crap out of Harrison vocals. "Here Comes the Sun" indeed. Also available for purchase will be custom Rock Band Beatles guitar and drums. Eeeeeeeeeee!

In today's totall pointless picspam, something I've been meaning to post for ages. Glee promo pics in HQ

In other news ... OTALIA!

( Dude. Someone. Anyone. Throw down. Right Now! )

And your YouTube Moment of Zen... how come I had no idea this existed before today?

It's a snow day! Well, every day is like a snow day for me, but that's beside the point. Since I have little desire to venture outside in sub-freezing temperatures, making me way through wet snow, I decided to make good on a threat to bring to you a picspam of my favorite kisses. Truthfully, this was a welcome distraction from trying to rank my favorite episodes of The X-Files.



( I'd Kiss You If I Wouldn't Kill Me )

I spend a large portion of my weekend watching Blade: The Series. God damn I miss my weekly dose of craptastic vampire action with a side dose of gay with the coolest, kick-ass vamp ever featured .... on Spike TV. Krista Starr, I miss you, girl. Would you come make out with me? This got me thinking about the other television show I miss. The list is long and distinguished, but something tells me some of you weren't born with L.A. Law and thirtysomething were in their heyday. This season's helping of new TV not getting terribly fangirl. I blame the writer's strike and people like Ben Silverman heading networks. They look for the big hit and the quick buck which means we have to suffer through shit like Knight Rider, which just got a full-season order, by the way. It is definitely a time to look back fondly at the shows that I once went all gooey fangirl over. Sadly, BSG will soon be added to this list. For the love of god, why! Feel free to add your own "already gone" favorites. And please hit me up with some recommendations. Now that I've finished The Wire, my Netflix queue is lacking. Truth be told, I would have just picspammed Blade if I could find some decent screencaps!

Without further ado...


( I Miss You... I Miss You.... )

My biggest accomplishment of the day was changing into different pajama bottoms. Go me. Okay, I did update my layout, create new header image and my profile page, but that is fangirling and that doesn't count as anything remotely productive. I also did successfully avoid being sucked into an America's Next Top Model marathon on VH1 and believe me, that took willpower I didn't think I possessed. Since I was around, I thought I'd put in a rare Saturday update. My little cold has my trapped indoors.

First off, a couple of bits of useless information:

— Just in case you didn't hear, the Jennifer Garner Broadway play Cyrano de Bergerac will air on PBS's Great Performances later this year. Woot.

— In really bad writer's strike new, SAG has advised its members not to attend the Golden Globes, which means that there is little point in a ceremony. Damn it. I love the Globes. They are like the Oscar's younger, brattier, funnier, drunker sister.

— In surprising news, the WGA has reportedly reached an independent deal with the Tom Cruise run United Artist Studios. This is the first crack in the united producers/studio front. It might be the beginning of the end people. What does this all really mean? Well, if true, it means that has soon as the deal is finalized Cruise and his company will have A FIRST SHOT at any film spec script/idea currently out there. Plus, it will be able to now hire any WGA members to work on these projects. This is HUGE. I have to give Cruise and his partner Paula Wagner credit here. This move is pretty much frakin' genius.

Cashmere Mafia premieres tomorrow night and I harbor fears that it will be as bad as I think it will be. I just hope it isn't third season of The L Word bad. Some promo pictures have surfaced from episode three.


( It get so much cuter until here.... )

And now for a bit of Captain Jack. Torchwood series two premieres Stateside January 26. Thank GOD, we didn't have to wait very long for this...

( Captain Jack... and, you know, William the Bloody... hee! )

In between fiddling around with CSS and coughing, I have started to watch the last season of Alias. I feel an epic Alias fangirl picspam coming on. In the meantime...

Alias Season Five Bloopers


And thinking of Alias and Kelly Peyton .... and then Amy... then Fred... ulimately lead me to this...

Angel Bloopers

Alyson and Alexis making flirty eyes at each other... priceless! And Puppet Angel!!!

And someone needs to stop me from buying this. Urgh. Just keep it away. AWAY!

Why am I at work on Christmas Eve? So fucking pointless. I'm watching Elf right now with no shame or guilt. I hope that some of the Christmas presents I ordered on Amazon actually make it here in time (was supposed to get them Friday). I am not optimistic. Not a hell of a lot going on right now, so just two small (pointless) bits of business. My random thought of the day, Dina Meyer and Emily Deschanel need to play sisters in some cheesy television movie about Christmas on Lifetime... or not.

Next up, old pictures too cute not to share....

Rachel Nichols @ Monte Carlo Television Festival Photocall



Not that this needs to be said again, but ... Zooey Deschanel needs to stop being so awesome. She's right, by the way, everyone should see that movie.

And finally our YouTube Moment of Zen... and the only reason I am posting...

Zooey and Jake Gyllenhaal sing at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival


In about an hour and a half, I will officially be on holiday until 2008. Hoorary! Icon making time.

My last day of vacation time I feel ill. So very ill. I've spend the entire day inside, watching television and falling in love with Scrubs all over again. In the last episode of season one, Elliot and Jordan are having a heated argument near the elevator, all up in each other's faces. The doors open with The Todd on the other side who utters, "kiss her.... kiss her." It is a sad, sad day when you realize you are like The Todd.

But moving along, the big news of the day besides The L Word previews, are brand new Indiana Jones promo stills have hit the net. Dude. Just. Dude. I think I shall call in sick May 22, 2008 and see it on the day it comes out.





There is something entirely too comforting about Harrison in that outfit.

The following is for thrace_. I have to say that this shameless picspam is not that great, but I was preoccupied with other things while looking for these pictures. I am sure someone with greater resources and more time could have put something better together, but, this might be just as good for the time being. Behold, a "hot law enforcement chicks with gun" television picspam. I didn't realize how many of these shows are on the air and how many of them have a "hot chick" who will aim her gun at some dude who was asking for it at least once an episode. I know I missed some of the major players, so feel free to hit me up with some screencaps and I shall add them to a future entry. For instance, I couldn't find Veronica Mars in her FBI garb with her gun pointed at crazy serial killer or Victoria Pratt in body armor from Daybreak... I apologize for these oversights.

And finally, now that I've hit the rather mind-boggling number of 100 LJ friends (which must be some mistake), I thought I'd dust off that old reader's poll. Please take it if you have a moment.

( So many questions, so many answers, why? )

And I must get ready for that Earth shattering event on Bones. If I have the energy, I shall return to squee about it, but something tells my illness may prevent me. Oh, whatever, I'll be back to squee.
