Still out of the habit of checking Livejournal. This is the fault of Tumblr because... Tumblr. Yes.

Anyway, saw The Dark Knight Rises last week, like everyone else. It was an unquestionably flawed movie, but... I don't even know, man. I saw the plot holes as they went sailing past but -- for me, at least -- they were incidental and unimportant. ( Read more... )

Aw, dammit. Looks like, irrespective of its weak box office performance, Warner Bros. is going ahead with a Green Lantern sequel. Don't get me wrong, the movie was fine -- somewhat generic, but entertaining enough -- but, as someone who was hoping Green Lantern's lackluster returns would free Ryan Reynolds to make the Deadpool movie Deadpool fans ( Read more... )

I have officially reached the tipping point where alcohol ceases to be conducive to writing* and starts serving an active hindrance to progress.

Oh, well. At least I'm making excellent strides re: forgetting the hockey game.

By the way, as I somehow seem to have not commented on it yet, X-Men: First Class. It isn't flawless by any means, but it's ( Read more... )

So, apparently my slumbering, World of Warcraft-addled mind last night thought what I really, really needed was a night of saccharine, totally out of character OFC/Arthas dreck. I'm talking every badfic cliche known to man, here.

...

I don't even like Arthas. I'm a Thrall girl, dammit.Why, brain? Why ( Read more... )

Huh.

Spirit of the season, etc., etc., have some Valentine's Day sketches from Hark! A Vagrant. My favourite's number three.

I spent most of the Sunday watching movies. It was an eclectic mix, to be sure, but I like to think that the day kept to some kind of theme. Given that the movies in question were Megamind, The Special Relationship, and ( Read more... )

I watched Whistle and I'll Come To You (the BBC 2010 remake) on the recommendation that it was an unsettling, creepy movie. Indeed, given my luck recently, I was a little worried it was going to give me nightmares.

( Behind the cut lay reactions, yo. )

a) I spent an uncomfortably large part of my day yesterday reading the Beetle Bailey tag at The Comics Curmudgeon. The blog traces a number of narratives in the strip, including rampant man-on-tree lovin', General Halftrack's crippling alcoholism, and the abusive, unhealthy relationship between Beetle and the Sarge.

Oh god, I ship it. Beetle/Sarge ( Read more... )

OKAY SO, er, it's been, needless to say, a very busy couple of days in San Diego.

I still haven't written up Friday, but that's going to take forever, so, uh, have Saturday instead.

... yeah.

Saturday

( I'm just going to throw all this behind a cut. )

Taking a break from my weeks-long World of Warcraft-induced stupor to flail about the most recent (to me) Captain America casting spoilers. Now, "in talks" isn't finalized by any means, but still.

( Casting spoiler talk behind the cut. )

I've spent the whole day almost asleep, some might even say "barely alive", and when I got home this evening I fully intended to go to bed immediately after dinner. Except for the part where Rifftrax streamed footage of the 2009 SDCC panel (that I missed last year because I was stupid) and then, suddenly, through use of some terrible, terrible ( Read more... )
