I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS. I love Diana Prince; and Diana, Princess of the Amazons; and Wonder Woman, and I did not expect to have so many feelings about Steve Trevor and Diana, good god.

I've seen Star Trek Beyond three times since it's come and and twice in the past week, and love it a little more each time. I'm awash in an ocean of feelings about starship families and the captain Jim Kirk has grown into. The 2009 movie has always been a favorite, a comfort movie of sorts, of delightful tropes and characters and a wealth of ( Read more... )

It was actually a lovely movie that balanced, I thought, the romance, the identity struggle, the overarching theme of race and slavery, and the court case ( Read more... )

Current life theme: Fall Out Boy's "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark". This is partly the fault of hockey and its love affair with this song, but damn, it's also just catchy ( Read more... )

I watched Gravity last Wednesday in IMAX 3D (fucking pricey tickets, holy hell) - it visually stunning, though the characters and their stories were not particularly fleshed out or nuanced or original. But oh man, let me repeat: visually stunning. There definitely ought to be all sorts of technical awards for that ( Read more... )

Sometimes BuzzFeed makes me shake my head. Sometimes their pictures and lists entertain me (or make me want to visit Taipei again).

This time, they shared a collection of beautiful words found on Craigslist, of all places:
