DISNEY WHAT THE HELL.

First Zac and Vanessa break up, and I realize this is not actually Disney's fault, but IT IS RELATED AND I AM SAD ABOUT IT OKAY.

And THEN a stupid TRAILER for POTC4 comes out. This being the film that I was quietly pretending was not happening, because any true POTC film must star Keira Knightley, this is an immutable rule. And yet this trailer exists, in which PENELOPE CRUZ STARS AS A SECOND RATE PIRATE WHO IS MOST CERTAINLY INFERIOR TO ELIZABETH SWANN, NOT THAT I'M BITTER, AND UGH I AM STILL FURIOUS ABOUT THIS YET I WANT TO GO SEE IT AT THE SAME TIME, AS IT IS THE FILM FRANCHISE OF MY LJ NAME AND ALSO MY HEART.



SO. MANY. FEELINGS.

OMG YOU GUYS, WHAT A CRAZY RANDOM HAPPENSTANCE. Guessss who decided to go to a Laker game this week, omg! ZAC AND VANESSSA, THAT IS WHO.

(NOTE: for those of you who friended me recently for Legend of the Seeker-related stuff, uh. SORRY, I ALSO LIKE OTHER STUFF TOO. I am a complex individual. If it helps, though, I only like things that are awesome.)

ANYWAY LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: their FACES.

( omgggggggg click this. )

OH AND THEN THESE TWO, which are just of Vanessa, but goodness is she still adorable. This also satisfies my ridiculous love of Pretty Girls Holding Coffee Cups, ever so nicely.

(I feel as though I have not, perhaps, been making entries about Vanessa wandering around getting stalked by photographers and looking hot. Possibly this is because shrewtee already has this covered, and has created cupcakemarriage, which is does exactly that and is BASICALLY GUARANTEED to make your day brighter. cupcakemarriage, you guys.)

( cut! )

In conclusion, how could you not recast Spiderman with the two of them as Peter Parker and - IDK, one of Peter's other girlfriends. (Gwen? Was Gwen his girlfriend?) Like, just looking at the two of them, it is a natural human instinct to just want to give that boy the chance to get paid to pretend he has superpowers.

!!!!!!

You GUYS.

( yet another outtake from That Elle Shoot )

He is HOLDING MAUI. Not going to lie, something in my heart just POPPED.

This post brought to you by the fact that tamaraface keeps making me write her ZVA 1950s AU ficlets.

So, I went to see Bandslam last night.

Mostly, my reaction can be summed up in this gif, thank you shrewtee for making me aware of it:



But then there is this deeply thoughtful part of my heart that totally got tugged by this movie, and guys you should go see it. Or maybe you shouldn't, whatever. I just know that I'm glad I saw it, and I really really want to see it again - it is a genuinely good movie. (Dozens of professional movie-watchers actually agree with me, SUCK IT.)

Like, I mean, obviously I have a lot of very very earnest and totally unserious thoughts about how Vanessa Hudgens is so cute, she could power a small city with her giggle, and how sweet and subtle she was in the scenes she had (which were not many, but still !!!!!).

But I also have a lot of very very serious thoughts about, like, the fact that this is a high school comedy about how music is important, and it is so, so, so awesome that something like that exists in recent cinema. That is the core of the story. Music is important, and it means something, and it's diverse and comforting, and also on the side there is a love story and a coming-of-age story. I don't know, that just got me, and even as I was all stoked about Vanessa and her cute not-smiles and her character's darling misfit-kid ethos and how good she sounded singing the song that's not in the trailer, I sort of also just loved the whole rest of the movie, for its own sake.

Also, behind a cut, I just need to quote my favourite line of the whole movie, in all caps. My apologies, I realize it is obnoxious, but still: ( !!!!! )

My heart just melted. Seriously, you guys. ♥_♥

OH MY GOD.

You guys, just when I was like, "OK, whatever, Vanessa Hudgens is way cute, but I think I understand just how cute she can be," SHE DOES AN INTERVIEW WITH HER DOG. HER TINY FUZZY DOG, WHO BTW HAS BOWS ON HER EARS, AND DISCUSSES HER DOG'S TEEN CHOICE AWARD NOMINATION.*




This is seriously the sweetest thing I have ever seen, and I am currrently alternating between going ♥_♥ AWWW and laughing at the fact that THIS ACTUALLY JUST HAPPENED ON THE INTERNET.

Oh man, pop culture is the best.


*Vanessa's dog Shadow is nominated for Choice Celebrity Pet, and this is the only TCA I am invested in BUT OH MAN, I AM INVESTED. If Katy Perry's stupid cat beats Shadow I may actually have to go sulk for a bit.

So, cidercupcakes is hosting the 2009 Home Team Matches, which are like the HBIC competition except CHICKS ONLY FOR REALS, and that is awesome. She's taking nominations at her entry here, but guys - if you do not reply to this thread to nominate Serena Van Der Woodsen, I will hold my breath FOREVER. Possibly even longer, if I am REALLY upset.



( and let us not forget )

Feel free to discuss why she is an amazing beacon of sweet, awesome giggly awesomeness anywhere in the comments. I will not mind a bit.

Also, oh my GOD, there is all this new Bandslam stuff leaking and I am FREAKING OUT over how cute Vanessa is going to be in this movie. One of these days I will have to do a round-up, because. Just. OH MY GOD.

Hahaha. So a bunch of people at oldmarrieds posted a whole bunch of Z/V related pictures yesterday, but I missed the boat, which is TRAGIC because I have this epic moderately-sized collection of .jpegs in which Zac is basically just being a total dude and I want to punch him in the arm and tell him he's gross. THEREFORE.

Times Zac Efron Perved On His Hot Girlfriend In Public: A Love Story

Hint: If the perving is not obvious from his eyeline, look for his hands. I left out the tits in the sunglasses pic on purpose, because IDK. I feel like it's getting too much airtime. HE PERVS ON HER LOTS OF OTHER TIMES, TOO.

( i like that dress. it really brings out your boobs. )

And because I could not resist SERIOUSLY GUYS THEY ARE ADORABLE:

( MOAR! )

. . .yeah. That's all I've got, but if you guys have ~more somewhere that I didn't put up here, IDK feel free to link me to them in the comments. This is not exactly an exhaustive picspam, I'm sure.

So. The MTV Movie Awards, Y/N?

I am a little devastated that Vanessa did not win anything, because let's be honest: she's my FAVOURITE. It was, however, really sweet seeing her all :D :D :D over Ashley and Zac winning, and I kind of loved the colour of her dress. Ashley had this weird long-lost Jetson daughter thing going on that I thought was kind of cute, but apparently I am alone in that? Whatever.

LET'S LOOK AT SOME PICTURES OF PRETTY PEOPLE.

( i think you know which people. )

Also, Twilight swept the awards and it was lame. The only good part of it, really, was watching the presenters and non-teen-girl-audience get progressively more confused and creeped out as Twilight. Kept. Winning.

Also best? Kristen and Rob pulling the rug out from under the fans when they won best kiss, because let's be honest here - I'm kind of petty and really wanted Zac and Vanessa to win, and the next best thing is the winners effectively giving the middle finger to their fans because they are deeply and adorably cynical (Kristen) or belligerent drunks (Rob). OH ALSO I DON'T EVEN CARE, I HAVE SUCH A CRUSH ON KRISTEN STEWART. I mean, I can't actually bring myself to watch Twilight because I have a lot of issues with it, but DID YOU SEE WHEN SHE WON HER AWARD. AND SHE WAS ALL SHY AND AWKWARD AND GUYS SHE WORE CONVERSE WITH HER LITTLE DRESS AND THEN DROPPED THE AWARD AND WAS SO FLUSTERED AND OMG. I do not understand the hating, all I want to do is gay marry her.

SERIOUSLY. IF THIS IS NOT THE CUTEST OUTFIT YOU HAVE EVER SEEN, I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT.

( !!!!!!! )

In conclusion: Leighton Meester looked PHENOMENAL. (And also presented an award to MILEY, who was ADORABLE and possibly the only person there who took the awards the right amount of seriously.)

( you REALLY want to click on this cut. Trust me. )

I feel like I should reaffirm my passionate, ridiculous love for a) Gossip Girl, b) Blake Lively, all the time, EVER, and c) Georgina mother-effing Sparks. I've been letting myself get really, really behind on TV, mostly because I am slammed with stuff that requires critical thinking skills (and partly because I've been saving those eps for days when I have time to work on my thelittlebang fic, which is never), but I caught up on a couple eps this weekend. (Seder Anything and the one after, for the record. I am still two eps behind.)

STILL. I remain in love with this show PRETTY HARD. Serena is gorgeous! Blair is scheming! THEY ARE RIDICULOUSLY GAY FOR EACH OTHER AND ONE DAY THEY WILL FLY AWAY TO PARIS AND RAISE GAY, FRENCH-SPEAKING CHILDREN WHO WILL HAVE SO MANY ISSUES, BUT BE CUTE. Nate is dumb as a rock, YET HILARIOUS. The parents are boring and also dumb, but take up not too much of my TV time, so that's okay! GEORGINA EXISTS ON MY TV AGAIN! Also, ( Chuck did some stuff in ep 2.21! It was lol. )


Oh, right. And I'm completely in love with Ashley Tisdale's twitter, which I am not going to stop mentioning until everyone I know knows how hilarious it is that she is gangsterish and her dog is sad that she's leaving and she omg loves Miami. And ALSO new pictures of Vanessa in Bandslam keep leaking, like the one in my icon, and guys. Guys. I can't even explain why this movie is going to be good. All I know is that they appear to be dressing her to hit like every single little thing that could possibly make me happy. And this pleases me.

You guys you guys this coming week is going to totally suck, BUT DO YOU KNOW WHAT I DID THIS WEEKEND? I worked on my thelittlebang, and I know how douchey it is to brag about your word counts when other people are stressed, but I am SO PROUD OF MYSELF, this is officially the longest single story I have ever written without a cowriter, AND I THINK IT'S KIND OF GOOD ALSO?




So anyway, Zac and Vanessa are cuter than a basket full of collie puppies wearing tiny bandanas, chewing little rubber bones with glitter in them. I dare you to disagree.
