So I was watching Buffy with my sister and it suddenly occurred to me that I couldn't remember when Willow and Tara got together. Officially. It just sort of happened. It wasn't a big deal and it wasn't really like, "Dude you're dating HER now?!" the way new couples tend to be christened in shows nowadays. It just....sort of happened ( Read more... )

So since seeing Avengers I've been slowly developing a bit of a fan obsession. I mean. Look. I love me my heroines and Scarlett Johansson was really quite fantastic as Black Widow but I am a heterosexual female and I do have a deep disturbing weakness for big, buff, blustering alpha male types. Or cocky funny male types. Or male types. Or whatever ( Read more... )

Now THAT is how you make a fucking summer blockbuster ( Read more... )

( So here is my second trickle of contemplation on Cabin in the Woods. Now featuring extra over-thinking. )

So I FINALLY got around to watching Cabin in the Woods.

Right off the bat I'm going to tell you that it was awesome and you should all watch and do it now!

And now that we've gotten that done with....( let's discuss the film )

Gah I am so excited for May! And the Avengers movie! And Spring!

So I'm browsing the magical world of Hollywood and some interesting stuff floated to the surface, or at least stuff I found interesting.

Joss Whedon's directing an adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing and it's featuring all his regulars, including Nathan Fillion, Amy Acker, Sean Maher, Alexis Denisof, and Fran Kanz. How exciting. Fillion and ( Read more... )

Apparently Salman Rushdie is writing a TV show for Showtime. He wants to do it all by himself. And while he's at it he's going to watch a ton of TV to get a feel for how TV shows are done narratively. I think that's cool, if not for the fact that he seems to put one of my favorite shows at the bottom rung of what makes quality television. That show ( Read more... )

Watched some movies this weekend because I was feeling anti-social and was spending more time with family. I also saw Phantom on Broadway. So I'd like to share my thoughts on all that.

Phantom of the OperaSo Phantom was pretty good. I especially loved the Phantom's voice. Michael Crawford sold the hell out of those high notes back in the original ( Read more... )

I've never read a DC or Marvel comic book in my life. True story. Though up until sophomore of college I was an amazingly nerdy otaku. But that doesn't mean I don't ridiculously love DC and Marvel characters. I watched the X-Men, Justice League, Batman, Superman, Teen Titans, ANYTHING superhero cartoons on network television and Cartoon Network. I' ( Read more... )
