1. Saw The Maze Runner last week and super enjoyed it. I haven't read the books since I heard they suck, but the movie was quite entertaining. And of course Dylan O'Brien was the main draw, and he was so good! Also he looked incredibly beautiful throughout. I'm so happy there's no gel in the post-apocalyptic hellscape ( Read more... )

Saw two flicks recently that I really enjoyed!

I generally like Ron Howard's work, and Rush was no exception. Exciting racing scenes, and a nice performance from Chris Hemsworth (and his abs, as always), but Daniel Bruhl really made this movie. Niki Lauda was such a unique, compelling character. I really loved his blunt manner, and his comeback ( Read more... )

Here you go, zoicite! :)

In October when fenwic, amelialourdes and Fenny's friend Deb visited, we saw the new Les Miserables production here in Toronto. Twice. And I'm going back next week with my mom and got a ticket for closing in Feb. If there was a rush or lotto, I'd be down there every week. Needless to say, I loved it ( Read more... )

Just submitted a new book to my editor.

Why are there so many bakery and coffee shop AUs?

There are a ton in Teen Wolf, and now as I'm looking through The Eagle fic on AO3, I'm seeing them there, too. Granted, I'm not an AU person (canon divergence, sure, but true AU -- no), but coffee shops and bakerys seem so BORING. I just do not get the appeal whatsoever when you take canon that's ( Read more... )

1. That presidential address address last night really messed up my SYTYCD watching. (The nerve!) Trusty TiVo didn't know to record for an extra 15 minutes, and of course I don't blame him. I was able to download, at least. I totally got spoiled for who won, but it's all good. Top four was awesome and I would have been happy for any of them. Amy ( Read more... )

Saw two fantastic movies at TIFF this week: Belle and Kill Your Darlings. The former was inspired by this painting:

aivilo_18 and I finished our TW S2 recap and we are primed and ready to go for S3. You guys, my Dylan O'Brien crush is stupendously a little ridiculous. I'm sure everyone's seen this, but just in case: 16 Reasons Dylan O'Brien is the Dork of Your Dreams.

I was totally unspoiled and hadn't even seen the trailer. Man, I enjoyed the motherfucking hell out of this movie. I need to see it again.

Just watched Ken Burns' new doc on PBS: Central Park Five. God, what a miscarriage of justice. Fascinating look back on how New York City has evolved as well.

Of course I remember the case, and I don't recall giving a second thought as to whether the boys could be innocent. I totally bought what the police/DA and media were selling. I was in high ( Read more... )
