Polls!
Hilarious fake posters of Chris Evans' character in 'Scott Pilgrim vs. The World'.
Damon & Carlton news.
Lost: The Auction. Cool stuff.
Lego Serenity!
Lineup of writers for Torchwood season 4. As much as I love Jane Espenson, I'm not watching it without Ianto.
'Glee' creator Ryan Murphy developing a musical series for pal Kristin Chenoweth. AWESOME.
'Glee': Carol Burnett is Sue's mum. Hee.
Joss posts about the Joss/JJ panel at Comic-con which I was totally at, by the way. It was epic. I'm on Team JJ regarding 3D though.
Human Relations vs. Drones aka Amber Benson vs. SyFy. It's all making me very sad.
Enver Gjokaj and Tom Lenk are doing a play together!
Tim DeKay and MattBomer Boner at Comic-con. I must've walked past there a dozen times and never saw anything that cool.
Dom's Eminem video:
Article one, article two.
I have to say, I'm creeped out by the idea of Eminem and Rihanna, of all people, doing a duet about what'e essentially an abusive relationship. It's obviously very close to home for both of them, and Rihanna isn't exactly a poster child for women's rights at this point. Also, it makes me feel bad about how hot Dom is in it.
Icons:
Lord of the Rings
Multi-fandom including Psych, Chuck
Multi-fandom including Veronica Mars, Star Wars, Harry Potter
Multi-fandom including Supernatural, Chuck, Harry Potter, Inception
Multi-fandom including The Princess Bride, Buffy, Gilmore Girls
I haven't reviewed a bunch of the movies from my holiday, but I want to review this one while it's fresh in my mind and before a possible rewatch: Inception
Flawless. This is seriously a perfect movie. It makes you think while simultaneously entertaining, it is perfectly cast, and every technique is used in the service of the movie. The structure was fantastic - they drop you in the thick of it, and explain things along the way as you need to know them. Nolan has completely outdone himself. I don't like the Batman reboot as much as other people, and I felt like this movie threw out some of the problems I had with that one - the bleakness and the feeling of being hammered into the ground - by keeping us on the edge of our seats but inserting a fair bit of character-driven humour. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tom Hardy were fantastic, and Marion Cotillard was ridiculously good. I want to watch it again now that I know how the pieces of the puzzle fit. I could watch the part where the van's falling over and over again. I love a good action movie, I love a good heist, and I LOVE a good ending.
There were some interesting shades of Shutter Island in there, I thought, just from the Leo point of view. The only thing that annoyed me was the use of "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien", because it is so linked in my mind to 'La Vie En Rose' and it brought me out of the illusion of the movie by reminding me of Marion Cotillard's most famous role. Also, why did JGL insist on calling Saito "say-toh"? And while I appreciate the means-bad-in-Latin-ness of Mal's name, I wish the Americans could pronounce it. *sigh*
