Today was pretty much awesome, in spite of the freezing, rainy weather. I saw Tom, Squishy, Mitchell, TG and Melissa, and I got to play Guitar Hero and eat cake and watch movies, so that's a good day in my books.
Pretty icons: Supernatural, the BSG-at-Comic-con ones here.
Pre-order The Tales of Beedle the Bard! I will look into it once I have paid for the con I'm going to next weekend. (PS. Twilight is pwned!)
Javi's hinting at something. Americans, send M&Ms to ABC Family! I'm sorry, I love the show, but I'm not paying for shipping to send M&Ms. Maybe I'll send a couple postcards.
LOL! Dr. Horrible: The Early Years.
Exclusive: Joss Whedon Tackles Darwin, and Tahmoh shows his dark side.
Joss & Tahmoh interview.
An interview with those other Whedons/Whedons-to-be. God's hot brothers and soon-to-be-sister-in-law!
Orson Scott Card apparently a homophobic jackass.
So, in response, I give you Ben Browder laying one on Michael Shanks (video! at Comic-con and, later, a review of yet another homoerotic old movie I saw at Film Group :D
Tonight I saw Brick Lane
About a Bangladeshi woman who was sent to marry an older man and live in London, and embarks on an affair with a younger man. I thought this film was beautiful. It had a slow pace, but I didn't end up finding myself getting bored terribly often, which is quite an achievement, and I think a lot of that is to do with Tannishtha Chatterjee in the lead role and how gorgeously the film was made. The music was phenomenal, too. I did find the plot a little frustrating at points, and the fact that her youngest daughter has pretty much no personality grated on me - there was plenty of time to give her one - but overall, I was impressed. It was a sensitive portrayal of cultures coming together. It's also cool that this was a very woman-centric film - directed, written and starring women.
3.5 out of 5
Followed by Road to Morocco
Having never seen him in anything before, I hadn't realised that Bob Hope was gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide. The flirting, my God! Plus BOYKISSING! This movie also made me laugh more than I expected to, with plenty of slapstick comedy to go around - for every miss there was at least one hit, so it paid off. The dubbing is terrible, though. Bob and Bing have great chemistry, and I love all the breaking of the fourth wall. They're obviously already settled into a routine with these films, because there were in-jokes I know I didn't quite get and all the leads were very comfortable with each other. Yes, this movie was racist (I've never seen a whiter portrayal of Morocco) but you can't really expect anything different. Mostly it was just fun.
Boykissing!

That's the way to do it. The only thing they really listen to is snail mail, lots and lots of snail mail. Everything else just pretty much annoys them and that's really not what people should be attempting to do if they want to save a show/character/whatever they love. I've been in the trenches with these sorts of "campaigns" back in my soap opera days and know of what I speak.
