So here I am playing with lots of promptathon prompts, and thinking about one that has the Avengers as bikers, and I know very little about motorbikes so I think to myself that I will go looking for inspiration online. There is, after all, a photo of Jeremy Renner on a motorbike that stuck in my brain. I will see if there are ones of the rest of ( Read more... )

Just been updating the community banner for be_compromised and issuing July's challenge and I realised that in the tags, and the guide to tags and tagging, and the photobucket account I had it labelled as 'banner challenge 2012'. No time like the middle of the year to realise that it's 2013 *shakes head at self*. Now corrected. Although, how come in a ( Read more... )

I went to see Iron Man 3 today! It's hilarious, exciting, twisty, full of fun dialogue and banter, and all round superb. And for the love of all things, stay until the very end of the credits because the extra scene is a gem ( Read more... )

Last summer myself and a bunch of friends passed around some DVDs and books, because there are some fannish things where we have an overwhelming urge to share. (We're all still working our way through stuff. Shhh, we're slow.) For my part, I'm making sure they're familiar with Firefly, Dollhouse, and Neil Gaiman amongst other wonderful.

From here on tumblr: “Tinker Tailor Solider Spy: aka that awkward moment when ( Read more... )

Current number of icons in my batch for/because of the be_compromised epic promptathon stands at 76, phew. Anyone wanting to request icons from me over there here's a link. I'm taking requests until August 8th so the can go up before the promptathon ends on the 10th.

I've been saying for ages that I need to watch The Hurt Locker. Well, I saw a shot in a ( Read more... )

I’m working on organising my bookmarks and favourites again. This time hopefully I won't accidentally delete things *shakes head at self*. Anyway, found these that I meant to share and haven't, so sharing:

THIS Avengers thing made me laugh.

THIS from a interview with RDJ and Scarlett Johansson on the Avengers sums up a lot of what has annoyed ( Read more... )

I remember watching the first Mission Impossible film and thinking it was thrilling and clever with a cracking twist at the end. I’ve never rewatched it, so forgive me if I’m remembering it wrong. Regardless, the sequels have never seemed as good. Like most action films they’re okay. They have some bangs and funny lines. Mission Impossible: ( Read more... )
