Via a knit/geek friend (and I see knitmeapony's picked it up as well), Empire magazine celebrates its twentieth birthday with...well, a 2009 revisit of some films. Seriously fun.

Besides this absolutely brilliant Silence of the Lambs shot (seriously, if you look at ONE of these...) here are a few favourites. Open in a new window, they do auto-resize, which ( Read more... )

Before I go to bed, you saw it here first: the Star Trek (2009) blooper reel.

Well, maybe not FIRST, as I got it from taraljc. I recommend the bit from 5:15 to 5:58.

And Animal Crossing: Wild World omgyey. Sadly, the only other person I know with a DS locally is rustyangel, I think. Erin, we will have to get together sometime to play ( Read more... )

For some reason, I feel the urge to watch Star Trek: First Contact. Don't ask me why.

Went on an errand run and picked up Doctor Who: The Forgotten #1 at Collector's Edge Burleigh, on the glowing rec from prof_pangaea. Guh. Bloody gorgeous art of Ten and Martha! Black and white flashback sequences! A David Tennant that actually looks vaguely like him! Opening page of gracefully sprawled Doctor ( Read more... )
