Fun Find of the Day
I borrowed X-Men 3 from the library today, since I felt like rewatching for Colossus, Iceman, Angel, and especially Beast and Kitty Pryde (while ignoring the crimes committed against Cyclops, Phoenix, and good dialogue), and found this Easter Egg deleted scene.
Officially one of the Best Things Ever. -
Feminist Hulk Smash!
A few days ago I found out about the PURE AWESOME that is Feminist Hulk.
What could make this even better?

Up With Pixar
Rachael, her mom, and I saw the new Pixar movie "Up" this afternoon, and definitely are pointing all our thumbs that way. It starts out wacky and gets increasingly zany as it goes (so by the end it's a perfect melding of Looney Tunes and action movie), but also has a really beautiful melancholy throughout. I can't remember another kid's movie that ( Read more... ) -
Show's Not Dead Yet (they can dance and they can sing)
