I dunno, call me crazy, but I think calling an author a "bitch" in a public forum, regardless of whether or not that person is a member of said public forum, is very bad form.  But, maybe it is just me...

The weather hereabouts in PA has gone wacky.  Here it is the end of July when, normally, we'd be sweltering in 90-100 degree heat and shriveling ( Read more... )

One of the movies on that list in my last entry was The Last House on the Left.  I'm assuming they meant the original, as the remake was not due out till Friday and no one would've had a chance to see it yet.  I've seen the original a couple of times and have rather ambiguous feelings towards it.  It has good and bad, but either way, it made a mark ( Read more... )

Meme-age!  Seen a lot of places, actually.

SUPPOSEDLY if you've seen over 85 films, you have no life. Mark the ones you've seen. There are 239 films on this list. Copy this list, post to your LJ and paste this as a note. Then, put x's next to the films you've seen, add them up, and use your number as the header.

So, things folks will warn of in fic:

Insect eating
One character criticizing another character's looks.

Things folks don't warn for:

Leaving a major character with a permanently debilitating, deadly disease at the end of the fic.

Alrighty, then.

And, on a completely different note, a meme! Seen at nakeisha's:

Hey, folks, I hope you all had a Happy Holiday this past week, whatever you celebrate, and if there was no holiday for you, I hope you had a splendid week!  For myself, Santa was generous.  :-)

I had occasion to watch/re-watch some Christmas movies over the last couple weeks, and here are some scattershot thoughts:

Home Alone 1 & 2:  Kevin ( Read more... )

Since I missed it, I love TNT for sending me a free flash drive with the screener ep of Leverage. Free, for nothin'! I've no idea how they got my name and address to do so, but yay! I love Timothy Hutton, unreservedly.

Lifetime Movie Network is on my list, however, for 1) not airing Michael Shanks' Under the Mistletoe this weekend as originally ( Read more... )

Okay, I make no secret of the fact that I hate summer.  And why not?  Folks who hate winter sure make that known, plus free speech and all that.  So, while I was sitting in the back seat of my mom's car today, sniffling and snorting and just trying to breathe through all the pollen-y crap in the air and through the kind of oppressive heat only a ( Read more... )

So another cycle of America's Next Top Model ends, and yet again the best girl doesn't win.  Well, we wouldn't want to break with tradition at this late stage, now would we?  Ah, well, I'm okay with Whitney's win.  She was at least the second best girl of the Final 3, and I knew going in she was gonna.  Thanks to our fabuous spoiler at TWoP, who ( Read more... )

Y'know, I've seen many a movie and TV show over the years with scary, creepifying stuff in 'em, but I think there's little that freaks me out more than the simple sound of thousands of unseen Zulu advancing on a tiny British bastion.

Yes, Zulu is on TCM right now.  You should watch it.  It's very good.  But be prepared to be freaked.

Have you ever read a summary of or rec for a fic and thought "Hmm, maybe!" then saw the link led to Fanfiction.net and decided "Uh, maybe not..."

Have you ever read one of those "looking for a story" posts and thought the description sounded like the baddest of bad fic ever, then realized, if the fic was about your character/pairing of choice, you'd ( Read more... )
