I got 21/30, which I think is pretty good because I've never read any Batman, and all the Shakespeare quotes I got wrong were from plays I haven't read, so...you should try it; it's fun :)

And speaking of Batman, that pic of Tom Hardy as Bane...I am so ready for this film. Damn youse, ( Read more... )

....but this is not one of those times.

Because I just found out that there is a movie in the next year or so that will have Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ciaran Hinds, and a slew of other people I thought I didn't know but apparently have seen in dozens of films according to their pages and it's not my kind of story ( Read more... )

How did I miss this beautiful video? Gary Numan + Nine Inch Nails = EPIC WIN. For realsies, yo. And it's also like...bringing it together with The Mighty Boosh. In spirit, anyway. I love how they fucking rocking that 80s shit on their respective keyboards. And Trent + tambourine!

It was really surreal watching the oscars on Sunday and seeing Trent ( Read more... )

Guesssssssssssss who's no longer working at her crappy call center job?

Me, that's who! I am free! Oh yes, yes I am!

Friday was my last day, and it was AWESOME. Especially since right when I was pulling out of my complex to get onto the street, what should start playing on the radio but "Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys? It was the most perfect timing ( Read more... )

I was just reading something, and I laughed so hard I choked. As in, airway completely blocked, if only for a second or two. It sort of gave me a starburst of joy even as I hacked and coughed. I was so delighted, not even my body could handle it.

Granted, I watched Death at a Funeral for the first time last night, and I almost got to that point as ( Read more... )

...that good (semi-)Greek girls like me need to get the fuck on top of my shit.

I have so many reviews to consider:

Major Works, Alfred Tennyson
Sideways
Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus
Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland
Smoke and Mirrors, Neil Gaiman
Shaun of the Dead
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Jane Austen/Seth Grahame-Smith
Shades of Grey, ( Read more... )

It's like the changing of the guard, but with less pomp.

I assume I'm not the only one who takes it very personally what pictures show up on calendars for her birth month. Strangely, I have two calendars this year: one sent to me for free from Middlebury [in order to weasel money out of me, ha! Nice try.], and one that I randomly got for Xmas that's ( Read more... )

-and this will be the shortest and most spoiler-FREE review I have ever written. Behold:

PLOT: Oh, James Cameron. Why did you go the way of George Lucas? Why oh why, as you sip Dom Perignon in a diamond flute bought from Titanic royalties, could you not have hired brilliant scriptwriters? But nooooooooooooo, you had to write it yourself. The result ( Read more... )

The new Alice in Wonderland trailer. It looks like across between, well, Alice, and American McGee's Alice, which was my favorite, favorite, FAVORITE game when I was growing up.

Is everybody ready for their singing cue? And a one, and a two, and a- JIZZ - IN - MY - PANTS!

So I just came across an article saying that a movie has been made about the Donner party.

Let's get this straight, okay? Maybe cannibalism is just a squick of mine, since I'm really squicky about meat anyway, but it is NOT an acceptable main element of a film.
