today's breaking news: achivements in DUH

In my Google Alerts: John Barrowman to snog a man on Torchwood.

On MSNBC: Unpopular girls gain more weight.

On Facebook's daily politics poll: Will Americans know everything there is to know about their candidate before they vote in '08? No.

In an e-mail from my sister: Jodie Foster comes out! (this one's not the same big fat DUH as the above, it's just it's own special kind of DUH and plus we all saw it happen three weeks ago.)

The real question is, which one of these things, if it WEREN'T true, would best indicate the coming apocalypse? I think it'd have to be a world where John Barrowman only invites girls back to his room to eat their only snogs girls, where the popular girls are all obese, where we know every hidden thought of every politician, and where Jodie Foster is, somehow, magically straight. I don't wanna live there, though. Somebody come take me home!!!

Oh also I saw Sweeney Todd and was astounded by its definite somethingness. Even while watching the movie I felt like I'd seen it four times before and was bored already, and that had nothing to do with being familiar with the original musical, and more to do with...something? Maybe it's time for Tim Burton to stop with the steampunk shabby chic, lay up on the dried-blood eyeliner and let Johnny Depp and HBC do something new? Then again, that kid had some great pipes and Alan Rickman was Alan Rickman indeed. And to reiterate what someone else on LJ also pointed out: surprise!Anthony Stewart Head! Always a bonus.

I would be laughing so hard if the house wasn't sleeping. How is that news?!

Hold on, though. That doesn't just say Captain Jack is going to snog a man (well, AGAIN.) That says said man is played by James Marsters! Holy blast from the past, Batman!

The problem with surprise!ASH is that all it did was make me wish harder he'd been cast as Todd.

I love the way they describe it as "Jodie Foster's lesbian romance with Cydney..."

Shudder. But then again lesbian romance is so much more fun than, you know, romance.

OMG, I totally didn't know about Jodie Foster. But that is AWESOME. :)
