I saw this one in the theater, but the only thing I remembered about it was that "I Fall to Pieces" was a plot point.

Now the only things I remember about it are "I Fall to Pieces" and A LOT OF REALLY LOUD NOISES. SERIOUSLY, THIS MOVIE WAS REALLY FREAKING LOUD. I don't think I caught any of the dialogue, because I turned it way down to avoid ( Read more... )

Netflix calls this movie Contamination .7, and I don't blame them. If you were trying to get people to watch a movie, would you advertise it as a sequel to Troll 2? Well, maybe you would, since I can't imagine anyone watching this without knowing what it was. And it has about as much to do with Troll 2 as Troll 2 had to do with Troll, which is to ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I took Baby to the library, and I took a look at the children's section for some Animorphs books, because goddamn I love that series.  Best child-accessible science fiction series ever.  I will accept no competitors.  No, not even A Wrinkle in Time.

Anyway, I picked up The Ellimist Chronicles, the only non-ghostwritten book of the series ( Read more... )

I love telling Baybeh very involved bedtime stories. Last time, it was the story of Bluff King Hal and His Six Wives, and His Three Children, and Their Reigns, and Mary, Queen of Scots and her Exploding Husband, and How Queen Elizabeth Was My Hero Since I Was A Little Girl And Fuck The Patriarchy. It got away from me a little bit toward the end ( Read more... )

Resolution #1: Gain ten pounds.
Resolution #2: Write at least twelve complete stories this year. Six issues of Villainy and six one-shot or three multi-chapter fics for the CATverse are my goal.

In keeping with this, I have written two full pages, and will now eat a bowl of ice cream.

Today I got paid actual money to have a snowball fight in a museum. My boss is made of awesome.

Here's hoping the next year is equally awesome for everyone.

Also, I forgot to get cabbage and black eyed peas for luck and money. Now I'm the stores are closed. OH!

Just realized I was missing the Twilight Zone marathon. I love you, SCI FI ( Read more... )

When I was a little girl, I had a crush on Scott Bakula.

Oh, that's a relief to say. I haven't been willing to admit it since EnterpriseI can't sleep, because I have too much sugar in my system, because of all the ice cream, which I ate in the hopes that it would stabilize my mood, because I was so upset earlier I was slamming doors and such, ( Read more... )

Last night, Ops and I watched New Trek and The Motion Picture, back to back.  New Trek made us happier than it did last time, so we added an extra star to its rating.  (It's up to two.)

I was much more impressed with Uhura this time around, because I was less distracted by the Spock facesucking.  She does stuff.  She does important stuff.  She's ( Read more... )

You know what I love?

The Stepford Wives.

You know what I hate?

Remakes.

This remake is actually pretty funny. And the coffee scene came off really well, almost as creepy as in the original. (Bette Midler's breathy vacancy is just so jarring.) This is watchable. But the original is really, really good. Because, yet again, the original is about ( Read more... )

The other day, Rose wanted to see The Legend of the Guardians, so we went to the movies.  She sat in front with her friends because that's cool, and I sat in the back with Alice and Meimei (who doesn't get a Twilight-based nickname because her middle name is neither Esme nor Isabella, although she was almost stuck with something similar to Esme, ( Read more... )
