So I was reading this TWOP article about SyFy's upfront for this year, and their centerpiece is show called Defiance, which is about humans and aliens running around in post-apocalyptic St. Louis.  They embedded a Hulu video of the first 14 minutes, and it looks like it will be mainly CGI St. Louis (now called Defiance because of reasons), but I ( Read more... )

So tonight, I re-watched the original 1978 Superman movie for the first time in six or seven years.  It was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid.  Then again, so was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

It holds up fairly well.  I can handle the somewhat cheesy special effects---they were great for their day.  Christopher Reeve was the perfect Superman, ( Read more... )

A lot of the time, fanficrants posts are pretty frivolous, but... oh, dear Jesus, WHY?!?!

I laughed 'til I cried, but it's still pretty damn horrifying.

Dammit.  I should be working on one of two papers due this week for my classes (particularly a short story that won't end), but I somehow ended up watching this fascinating and rather adorable Tom Hiddleston interview.  Curse you, Internet!  I swear, when it's done, I'll work until 2:00 A.M. if that's what it takes.  *headdesk*

I was trying to watch the season (series?) finale of Spartacus: Blood and Sand, but my mother walked in and won't leave the room, so I'm making my first foray into Twitter.  I haven't done so before because I don't have an Internet phone, so it would be pointless to get one.  Anyway, @BuschSquirrel/ @TortyCraig OTP.

BIRTHDAY!!!

So I think I might have actually gotten drunk for the first time.  The friend I went drinking with said I'm not drunk because I could still pronounce "technically" properly, but I am super dizzy.  I also discovered that I am a LOUD GIGGLY DRUNK.  And I can't keep a secret when I have imbibed alcohol.  Crap.

This is basically how I feel ( Read more... )

1. I couldn't even get on LJ for the past two days.  WTF?  During that time, I learned that LJ is like a security blanket, and I get all antsy without it.  That can't be good.

2. I just watched the re-run of last night's Colbert Report episode, and my imagination wants to believe that the fellow he interviewed (a Mancunian partical physicist) is the ( Read more... )

I just thought I'd share this:

...But I kind of wish this were an actual movie:


Taylor Lautner is so much more tolerable when KStew and RPattz are nowhere in sight.  But what really made me squee was Marshall Faulk as a commentator.  I totally had a Faulk jersey when I was 10 years old.

To my American friends:  Happy Independence Day/Fourth of July!  I hope you guys have fun and stay out of the heat, wherever you are. :D

To my non-American friends:
