The Fangirly Diary of a Geek Girl: All your lists are belong to us!
TUESDAY
First of all, Happy Birthday, Steven Spielberg! As Hiddles calls him, “the architect of my childhood imagination”~
And talking about Hiddles, he would love to direct! And he also says his approach to judging the Jameson Empire Done In 60 Seconds short films competition will be much nicer than if, say, Simon Cowell did it.
No way, absolutely not. I know how hard it is to make films and to be in them, so I will be much more compassionate.
Peter Jackson and the cast of The Hobbit talk about the second movie of the trilogy, The Desolation Of Smaug. They keep mentioning scenes that really interested me in the book, so yay!
Game of Thrones Season 3 will be super-sized! That is most of the episodes will be slightly longer; which means if you count all the extra minutes, it’s like having another episode! Sorta…
So Spider-man #700 leaked, and crazy fanboys disliked how it ends, so poor Dan Slott is getting death threats over it. Seriously? Come on! This is comics we are talking about! As much as I love them, the status quo hardly changes that much! I’m sure it will all be fine in the end, whether it takes months or years to get there.
In less awful comic book news, here’s a list of The Top 15 Comic Book Moments of 2012! Wow, I cared about most of these! I’ve been extra geeky this year~
Samuel L. Jackson doesn’t know if he will have any participation in S.H.I.E.L.D., but he does have something in mind:
I don’t know. I keep hearing about it, and I haven’t talked to Joss about it. But in my mind, I would tend to think that he would, if nothing else, be like Charlie in Charlie’s Angels. At least be the voice!
Now, a fun list: 7 songs about Hobbits NOT by Leonard Nimoy. Although, I enjoy “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins“~ These song are all awesome in different levels, but my favorite is, of course, “They’re Taking the Hobbit to Isengard“.
aw man Marceline and Lizzie Bennet and all the geeky things
@Diandra Rodriguez, Duuuuuude, the Marceline & Ice King song killed me! KILLED MEEEEE!!!
This magic keeps me alive //
But, it’s making me crazy //
And, I need to save you //
But, who’s going to save me? //
Please forgive me for whatever I do //
When I don’t remember you //
@mirella, tearrrsssssssss
“Top Ten characters of the year by MTV! I like them all except for 3 and 8.”
What’s wrong with Matthew McConaughey (Magic Mike) and Ezra Miller (Perks)? Both were easily the best parts of the movies MTV ranked them. Is it because they’re not geek-friendly?
@Rodrigo, exactly XDDDDDD Also both were pretty “meh” for me.
@mirella, Still better than nearly everyone in The Hunger Games. Considering this is MTV, I’m surprised they managed to ignore the people from The Hobbit (great film, btw) or Twilight (whom MTV sucks dick to).
Oh wait, it’s a Top 50 ranking. Joe (Looper), Silva (Skyfall), Bilbo (The Hobbit), Calvin (Django Unchained) are a bit too low in this last. And the likes of Snow White (Huntsman) and Arthur Kipps (The Woman in Black) shouldn’t be there, lol.
@Rodrigo, @Rodrigo, Yes about The Hobbit. I guess it was too soon for they to chose one character? I’m surprised about their lack of Twilight too even if I don’t give a fuck about that franchise :P
@Rodrigo, I would vote Ted off the Top10, push Silva up and kick Snow White out to include Theron’s Evil Queen instead.
@amy, Speaking of voting people off the Top 10, Loki needs to be lower — Silva shits all over Loki literally as a villain — and I’d add either Joe or Cid from Looper.
@mirella, Freeman’s Bilbo and a Twlight character appear lower in MTV’s ranking. But characters from Django Unchained are there and the film premieres on Christmas. I’m sure MTV has passes to see films in order to put them there.
@Rodrigo, Oh, I didn’t mean they mean they haven’t watched The Hobbit. Just that the buzz for those characters ain’t that hight yet, because they movie has only been there for a week. I’m guessing the lists is not only about MTV’s dudes personal favourites alone but also what generated more buzz on their sites. I guess while Twilight was a good buzz generator in MTV, the dudes doing the actual ranking didn’t like it that much XD
