Pretty much the only thing that has been standing in the way of getting The Hobbit made is one thing: money. MGM is bankrupt. However, now comes the news that Warner Bros. has agreed to foot the bill for the movies. $500 million for both Hobbit movies, since it’s going to be split in two parts. That’s astounding. Meanwhile, Andy Serkis and Ian McKellen are officially confirmed to be signed on for the movie.

The Wonder Woman tv show that was going to be written by David E. Kelly?

Gail Simone could end up writing the comic of Buffy Season 9. The job is hers if she agrees to it.

The Dark Knight Rises will be filming in Detroit—and Nolan says again that it will not be in 3D. Which makes me like him even more.

C. Thomas Howell has signed on to the Spider-Man movie. He will play someone named Ray.

Someone made their wedding cake one of the Ghostbusters using their proton packs against the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, on top of Dana’s building. And it’s glow-in-the-dark.

I redid the Character Expression Meme that I posted before, because I just wanted to be able to fill it up entirely, with the icons that I both use, and would use if I could. So I uploaded the latter to the LJ Scrapbook to get that to work, and made a tag there for the person that made each one. It’s that, and I just didn’t want to see the thing remain unfinished.

On another Meggan-related note, I just realized that I’ll be having the poor thing doing a driving test in February. So...yes. Her driving test will be filled with snow and ice and sleet, as she navigates the streets of New York. And she’ll probably attempt to practice driving in a bit of that, unless someone talks her into doing March instead. When things should thaw in New York, provided there are no apocalyptic scenarios.

I also realized she would probably be first in line to the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie in May—whatever that one is called—given her love of all things pirate related. This means extensive research of the Wikipedia pages is in store for me.

ETA: Please bear with me, while I try to find and remove the small scrap of code that is centering the bottom half of this post.

ETA 2: Fixed!

This was found via a few people on my Insanejournal friends list. A link to the chart’s coding should have been placed at the bottom of it automatically. I don’t have enough room in my icon space for a lot of the ones that could apply to this chart, since I don’t have a paid account with the journal in question. For evil, I’m using the icon I used when Meggan was possessed by Selene. There were two or three others I wanted to upload that looked equally odd and/or evil--but, again, no room, and so they stay on the external hard drive.

I’ve also realized I don’t really have any angry icons of Carey Mulligan to use for Meggan. Not unless I want to use the evil one--another one that I used when she was just starting to fall under Selene's control works for now. For the Flirty one—my only thought is “be afraid.” I don’t think I have one for either Flirty or In Love.

( I'm putting The Character Expression Meme beneath the cut, since the chart’s a bit long, and I’m not positive as to whether or not it would stretch the page for those on my friends list. )
