links: random
Have some completely random links, so I can clear them out of my bookmarks.
The Atlantic magazine had an interesting article on The Invisible Borders That Define American Culture. My favorite map at the link is the fifth one down: a breakdown of where people say "soda" versus "pop" and "coke." (I grew up saying pop, switched to calling it soda, and have noticed a lot of people around me calling it coke.)
Author Sarah Rees Brennan discusses the glorious Miss Marple.
She also talks about adaptations in reference to the whole Sherlock/Elementary brouhaha. (Personally I can't wait for Elementary, but I also have a huge fondness for male/female detective buddies of all sorts. Bonus LUCY LIU!)
Johnny Lee Miller will play the role of Sherlock in Elementary. Here's a moment from a previous stint on an American tv: Eli Stone, episode 1.01 (George Michael, y'all). Bwah, that is awesome.
Fempop magazine: Why Do People Hate Black Widow? (I hadn't read about George R. R. Martin's comments before this article. Yet another example of someone not watching the same version of The Avengers as me. It seems to be happening a lot.)
The costumes and characters of The Avengers: Black Widow and Hawkeye. This blogger has a whole series about the costumes and characters in The Avengers.
