stepliana needs your help: "Would you mind throwing a link to a poll I have in my journal in somewhere in your next linkspam? It's about regional differences in the 'Miss Suzie/Lucy/Mary had a steamboat' song, I want to see if the lyrics you learn to the song are due to where you grow up, or if it's something else."MOAR CLOVERFIELD: A Cloverfield fan blog does a more in-depth trailer analysis, revealing that... the surprise party has been reshot. Huh. Also, you get a good comparison shot of the old Statue of Liberty head and the new one. Meanwhile, More Cloverfield Promotional Photos; 'Cloverfield' Monster Still Undecipherable in Slow Motion; Slusho Meets Heroes.
Also, I showed the trailer to my mother (who loves 1) monsters and 2) disaster movies), and she made me run the trailer back and forward and in slo-mo like a dozen times. MOO HA HA.
(You know, after watching the Lizzy Caplan/Hazmat sequence over again, I really think that's her [character's] chest opening out like a book, rather than some kind of swelling. Also, listen to the ripping sounds. Eeeeeeh. And I hate that this piece of "production art" has been debunked, because last night when I first saw it, I went from "What? That? No!" to "Omg... it's a... with... omg" in about five seconds and kind of fell in love with it. I mean, as much as you can fall in love with a... well, go look at it.

Facebook Unveils Ad Strategy. In which users proclaim themselves fans of various products. You know what? I'm actually okay with this. The fact is, we have to have advertising unless we want to pay for free services ourselves. And I'd rather see personal recommendations than random, obnoxious ads. Really, it's not all that different from when I post here and go, "Y'all! I just tried this lip gloss today and it is FANTASTIC." You know, use the ad thing sparingly, but if there's something you're really crazy about--the example they give is of "someone renting Ratatouille and rating it highly"--aren't you likely to recommend it to people in casual conversation anyway? So why not use that to help keep a service you like free? Meanwhile: Facebook drops "is" from status reports.
