So, Johnny Weir finally came out, eh? (And the internet gets so predictably sarcastic)

I adore

Protip: Prince of Persia is bad. Like, really bad. Embarrassingly, aggressively, I would even say offensively bad. It's baldy plotted, badly written, badly cast, and badly acted... and, insult to injury, the awesome freerunning stunts that a Prince of Persia movie obviously should have don't even measure up. In every way that a movie can be ( Read more... )

Point the First: I am having good luck with obscure movies lately. Where the Heart Is was almost embarrassingly adorable (not to mention surreal, bizarre, hilarious, and highly entertaining). Treed Murray was actually quite good- good in a very particular, writerly, theater-feeling kind of way. Actually, it reminded me of nothing so much as ( Read more... )

I had an attack of total randomness and watched "Men With Brooms" today. It turns out that 1.

I find Molly Parker stunningly hot, with her freckles and her dimples and her laugh, when she' ( Read more... )

The thing about SF fandom, sometimes, is that the porn is hilarious. And I don't mean this in a bad way at all- not even a teeny-tiny bit. It's great.

I am speaking, you see, of john_farr, the multiple-AU built around that time John Sheppard went into Ponn Farr (subtitle: because mating cycles are hot!). Or at least, it starts that way (you should ( Read more... )

Just wanted to point out to everybody that A Dog's Breakfast is on Hulu. You guys, it's adorable. Seriously. It's totally, "David Hewlett calls his best buddies and says, hey, I found 20 bucks under my couch cushions, wanna put on a show?" The snarky meta commentary is hilarious. The writing is hilarious. David's physical comedy is hilarious ( Read more... )

AppaloosaThis whole "resurrection of the Western" thing we're doing right now? I LOVE it. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. This movie? Is slashy like an astonishingly slashy thing, and is gorgeously shot with beautiful landscapes and sets, and moves with gorgeous, deliberate, careful pacing, and has some of the most beautifully perfect, stoic, quiet, funny, ( Read more... )

I just saw Wall-E and I am all a-squee. As a sweet anthropomorphic little love story of surpassing cuteness, it rules. As SF, of course, it sucks big donkey balls, but that's not what we came for, no? I understand everybody being pissed about the fat-people mockery. Except that was actually a ham-handed attempt to shortcut the entire process of ( Read more... )
