Some kind soul has posted a playlist of 48 prose and poetry recordings by British actors - mostly Tom Hiddlestone, Benedict Cumberbatch, Richard Armitage and David Tennant but a few other voices snuck in there too. It is very soothing (mostly, there are some that are less so just because of the text in question) so I thought I would pass on the ( Read more... )

Unseen Academicals is my favourite Discworld book since Night Watch and pretty high up on the list of favourite ever, mostly because of Nutt and Glenda Sugarbean. And this fic, Interlude With Some Vampires by binz and shiplizard is not only a fantastic coda to the book but pitch-perfect both in the general Discworld tone (I laughed several times) ( Read more... )

An amazing person on tumblr has uploaded all of the extras from the Marvel films, which means that those of us who don't have BluRay or who are Region 2 for DVDs *glares at Disney* (yes, I'm still pissed about the extras being cut for Europe compared to US DVDs for Avengers) can actually have access!

Links are here. Get 'em while they're hot.

And thought I would share a couple of the joyous things I've found:

Catherine Tate interviewing David Tennant for the radio show Chain Reaction. Very funny and if the BBC wanted to give them their own show where they get to talk about anything they like that would be fine with me.

The Ballad of Russell and Julie, which is David Tennant, ( Read more... )

10 minutes of behind the scenes from The Hobbit. I am in love with the whole LotR crew all over again. There was Alan Lee! And John Howe! And Dan Hennah! And Richard Taylor! And of course Peter Jackson (looking much less like a hobbit himself these days)! Oh guys, I've missed you guys ( Read more... )

monanotlisa just posted these and they must be passed on - if you haven't seen the missing scenes from the DVDs, check out:

Scene bridging The Eleventh Hour and The Beast Below

Scene bridging Flesh and Stone and The Vampires of Venice

Both full of utterly marvellous interaction between Amy and the Doctor - adorable, fascinating and hilarious.

Here I was watching this vid of Dean and Castiel's funniest moments (I may have to cave in and actually watch the show proper at some point) when I had the most bizarre moment of actor recognition ever. One of the clips is from the episode where Dean takes Castiel to the brothel - and the hooker called Chastity he sends Castiel off with? Is ( Read more... )

Okay, this is seriously addictive. It's a vocabulary test, and for every word you manage to assign the correct meaning, someone donates 20 grains of rice.

For every word you get right, it also apparently gets trickier, and there is a score that goes up and down at the bottom depending on how well you do... my best is at 49.

Go play.

Comment if you want to do this and I'll give you a letter. Then you go and list ten things you like starting with that letter.

Seems an unlikely mix, but hth_the_first has added Ronon, Rodney and sex and made it work in Ode.

And inspired me to reread one of the poems she references as it is very cool.
