I de-friended you for a SAMMICH! (See what I did there?) Anyway, Facebook has a new application, where you de-friend 10 of your facebook friends and get a free Whopper. Considering how srz bzns friending can be, and to throw it all away for a sandwich, I predict WANK. |

A New Year's Day shooting in which a subway police officer fired a deadly shot into the back of an unarmed man has the San Francisco Bay Area demanding answers as authorities appeal for patience.
Bay Area Rapid Transit spokesman Linton Johnson told CNN affiliate KTVU-TV in Oakland, California, that the officer is presumed innocent and described him as devastated.
Attorney John Burris called the shooting "unconscionable" and said he filed a $25 million claim with BART on Tuesday, alleging wrongful death and violation of civil rights by use of excessive force. BART has 45 days to respond, Burris said.
"It's a clear shooting in the back that should not have taken place," Burris said, characterizing the incident as a case of "overagressiveness by police."They have two videos of the officers forcing this guy to the ground and shooting him, and they call it 'overagressiveness by the police'? That's the understatement of the year. What really gets me is that further down in the article it says that he was trying to calm everyone down and get them to do what the police said. |

And Jacob Black Will Be Played By... Taylor Lautner. Good news about New Moon from director Chris Weitz:
I'm very happy to announce that Taylor Lautner will be playing Jacob Black in New Moon and that he's doing so with the enthusiastic support of Summit Entertainment, the producers, and Stephenie Meyer.
The characters in Stephenie's books go through extraordinary changes of circumstance and also appearance; so it is not surprising that there has been speculation about whether the same actor would portray a character who changes in so many surprising ways throughout the series. But it was my first instinct that Taylor was, is, and should be Jacob, and that the books would be best served by the actor who is emotionally right for the part. I think that fans of Twilight the book and the movie will be surprised by the Jacob Black that Taylor will bring to the screen in New Moon; and I'm looking forward to working with him and the rest of the cast in realizing the film.
very best
Chris Weitz
I'd just like to add that I was very much a part of this decision. My first priority was always what was best for New Moon—what was going to give us the best possible movie. I'm truly thrilled that Taylor was the one who proved to the director, to Summit, and to me that he is the best possible Jacob we could have. And I'm very much looking forward to seeing what he's going to bring to Jacob's character this year.

LJ, redux Is LJ being exceptionally robust, or is it just me? Vandalism by pissed-off ex-employees? It's probably just me. But I can't get to LJstatus to find out for sure, so I thought I'd post here. Sorry to bother everyone (okay, I'm not. Not really.) Edited to add: Okay, not just me, then. On the one hand, Phew. On the other hand...I bet this has the potential to become epic. Even when it turns out to be just a hiccup. Edited again to add: Now when LJ comes up it shows the following message: LiveJournal.com is currently unavailable due to emergency maintenance. Don't worry, this has nothing to do with our recent company layoffs! It's a technical problem, not a lack-of-personnel problem. Thank you for your patience.
Final edit: It's baa-ack. And I'm going to the bookstore. |

Jacob casting announcement coming sometime this week And it doesn't stop the lovely members of lion_lamb from wanking about it before it even comes out. From the EW article: This week, Summit is expected to announce its decision for the next film based on Stephenie Meyer's wildly successful series of vampire romance novels. Kristen Stewart, 18, is set to return as Bella Swan, the beautiful human who falls for a softhearted bloodsucker. And Robert Pattinson, 22, has a lock on his job too; his turn as Edward Cullen, the hunky, soulful vampire, has made him an overnight superstar with young female moviegoers around the planet. But Lautner, 16, has a more uncertain future. That's because the character he was so perfectly cast to play in the first Twilight film—a slim, baby-faced teenager—will be greatly expanded in the sequel. And by greatly expanded, we mean into a hulking, snarling, seven-foot Lycan.
''Jacob is a totally different character in New Moon,'' says Melissa Rosenberg, screenwriter of both Twilight films. ''He's a foot taller and huge—and he's supposed to look 25. It's really a question of whether or not the same actor can play the role.'' Rosenberg is quick to add, however, that ''everyone would love to keep him. We all think he's the loveliest person ever.''
Fans of the Twilight novels—specifically those who identify themselves as ''Team Jacob''—are divided over whether Lautner has the machismo to carry New Moon. In fact, pro-Lautner/anti-Lautner fights have been breaking out on the Web for weeks. As screenwriter Rosenberg puts it, ''He has to play a romantic lead against Rob, who's a 22-year-old man. That's a tall order.''( Cue the choruses of ROB'S HOTTER, NO TAYLOR, NO U! )ETA: It is officially announced that Taylor will continue to be Jacob in 'New Moon.' And there was much rejoicing in TwiLand. Also, arcaneshinigami - the browbeaten Jacob fan - posts a rant about all the mean lion_lamb people ganging up on her in sortofbeautiful. |

Posting to multiple journals with Semagic? Back when Strikethrough was happening, I started using Semagic, and found instructions on how to use it to post to more than one journal at once. Of course, I forgot how to set it up, and the directions I'd bookmarked were on Greatestjournal. I have a new computer and I'd like to be able to simulpost; does anyone know how I can set that up again? Thanks in advance! ETA: Copious thanks to whiteserpent and tephra! |
