I'm still feeling completely immersed in everything Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. It's just one of those films. And I'm so so happy it's doing so well in the UK. I'm sure it'll do well in the rest of Europe too. Can't be sure about the US, though. It is rather different in its tone and pace ( Read more... )

Now this is a really, really good article about fanfiction, from time.com. An excerpt:
Fan fiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of brilliant pop-culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker. They don't do it for money. That's not what it's about. The writers write it and ( Read more... )

The sequel to Sherlock Holmes (the movie) is shaping up to become really interesting indeed. Stephen Fry will be in it! Yay! It's a congenial choice. More unexpectedly, fellow Swede Noomi Rapace has also been cast, as something or other. Too bad we won't see it for another year ( Read more... )

Does anybody but me feel like the whole SPN/J2 fandom is getting more and more surreal, the way it's so meta and self-referential?

As always - it seems - I'm late to the party, but I just need to point out that this is obviously Jared's version of a flashmob. He pops up, attacks and then goes on his merry way, like nothing happened. Thus: textbook case of a flashmob! Ahahaha! This is why flashmobs are so great. ♥

At times like these, when the Supernatural boys are very much in focus, so are also the crazy, delusional part of fandom. Between the Jensen is married/Danneel is a crazy stalker person and the J2 is real/I will beat you (including girlfriends) over the head if you don't agree, there's a lot of lunacy going around. It always makes me cringe ( Read more... )

I may be slightly cynical about Valentine's Day as a commercial trick, but when it brings everyone love, I'm ALL for it. It's even better when *I* get love, of course. So a million thanks to wpadmirer for the vritual valentine! I'm touched by the gesture. *mwah*

Also, I got a very sweet comment at svmadelyn's Valentine project! Thank you ( Read more... )

I got my SPN DVD today! Woohoo! I didn't expect to get it this fast! Also, now that they've cleared up the whole silly regional differences which has plagued earlier releases, I could safely get it from Amazon.co.uk (now that the pound is cheap and getting cheaper - I'm going to London in few weeks, so that's good for shopping *g*). This means I ( Read more... )
