1. WTF, iTunes? >:(

2. YAY FOR MUHNEY ON Y&R! I can't wait until I get sound on YouTube back and can hear this. I will be cross if there is no kissing.

3. Wow, I clicked a link to startrek from ontd_startrek, and discovered that apparently, appreciating the hotness of the new cast and appreciating the content of the universe are mutually exclusive. Excuse me for thinking with my sexual organs and my brain. Maybe this would help them mellow out. Also, watching Shatner reacting to the 'Star Trek' trailer - there's like five clips or bits of dialogue there that aren't in the movie at all. WHY IS THERE NOT A DVD OF THIS ALREADY?!?!?!?!?!

4. O2STK.com.

5. New Dom, new Maggie.

6. Same-sex relationships may play an important role in evolution.

7. Icons, icons, iconny-icons.

8. Two movie reviews of the stuff I've seen this week that wasn't Star Trek:

Premonition

I suppose this movie's silly and surprisingly predictable ending was unavoidable considering its premise, but it disappointed me how quickly this movie went downhill after the intriguing start. Sandra Bullock is better than she's given credit for, and she does bored housewife/grief-stricken/slowly-going-crazy really well in this movie. The premise - that a woman wakes up the day after her husband's death to find him alive, days earlier - is really cool, and it drew me in with its lovely cinematography and spooky mood, but there's these huge plot holes that they can't quite make up for. What I really don't understand is whether or not she experienced the days leading up to her husband's death twice in different ways. It seems like Wednesday starts a new reality wherein she erases the previous few days over again, changing events that lead to what she experience on Wednesday, but she lives Wednesday twice in different ways and both have to exist for the movie to work. Uh. That probably didn't make sense. SO CONFUSING. Essentially, if this movie had stuck to the original, Connor-lite script, it would have been way cooler. And Russian Pikachu rocks.

Terminator: Salvation

You know how it's currently popular to make webisodes of TV shows that kind of fill in the gaps but aren't remotely necessary for the story? This movie is like a Battlestar Galactica webisode. It's a decent action movie with a cool visual style, LOTS OF YELLING, some awesome shots and a decent enough story, but it doesn't really fit anywhere into the Terminator story. It's just silly fun. I reckon it would've been better with a hell of a lot less John Connor, and Jamie and I agreed that the most kickass character in the movie was the little girl who didn't talk. Also, we thought Marcus should've just kept the heart and led the Resistance himself - he would've been a damn sight better than John Connor. It's almost like John Connor just became John Connor by virtue of...being John Connor, rather than having leadership ability. I mean, his whole rescue mission hinges on him making sure he comes into existence and not really giving a fuck about anything else. It would've been better if Sarah Connor had stuck around, at least she had balls.

3. That wanky post on startrek kept me entertained for hours, I just couldn't stop reading the comment battles. I first thought the initial post is some sort of joke. lol

What did iTunes do?

That startrek post pissed me off, but somewhere else someone said that the OP is actually a notorious troll whose sole purpose in life is to piss people off and get his accounts banned. Have you looked at his icons? Well, if you haven't, spare yourself, because they're extremely obscene and gross. So basically he's succeeding in his goal in life. >.

OP may well be a shit stirrer (although his response to my comment was actually not so bad) but that whole community is pretty dour and no fun, and there was a lot of support for his comments, which is more disturbing.

I love how in that guardian.uk article, it says that the female couples in the albatross community are more successful at rearing young than that hetero couples. :) Somehow, this morning, that's really funny.

YAY FOR MUHNEY ON Y&R! I can't wait until I get sound on YouTube back and can hear this. I will be cross if there is no kissing.

HEE. HEE. You can partially thank Luke and Noah for that. If they weren't so popular with the soaps over here, American daytime tv still wouldn't have gay characters. One Life to Live and Guiding Light are doing it now too. :P Let's see if Y&R or OLTL will actually have it's first gay male sex scene that actually happens on-screen. Still waiting for Luke and Noah to do that. *le sigh*

Doesn't Guiding Light have a female gay couple? overthemoo kind of loves them.

I've heard that Y&R will imply that the guys have sex but not show them kissing. Pussies.

[frances-veritas.livejournal.com]

Yeah. GL has Natalia and Olivia. But apparently, that's storyline has been frustrating too. GL has been canceled so they have until Sept. I wonder how they'll end it.

1. That article on same sex relationships was good, but it really could've used more... substance. I think I need to read some academic papers on the subject.

2. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII think we should have sex with it. I LOL'ed SO HARD.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

This article (http://www.subversions.com/french/pages/science/animals.html) has a whole lot of substance, but is called 'animals prefer homosexuality to evolution'. I think it makes a similar point about female pairs of birds, though.

ME TOO. So accurate.

[virginhuntress.livejournal.com]

Oh! Thanks for the article, hon. :)

It really is too accurate for its own good.
