I was over at Caitirin’s lj today, and she’s linked to The Best (Worst) Fantasy & Science Fiction Book Covers. They made me laugh, which is important, because it’s snowing again and I’m still unemployed. Warning: I have no idea what the MPAA would rate the site, but I give it an R for thematic […]
My sister went to see a stage production of “Fame” a couple weeks ago, so we put the movie version in our Netflix queue to check it out. Here are my thoughts re: the movie: 1. I’d seen the movie before, and I laughed when the Netflix site reviews from other people in the same […]
Since Harry Potter was the first fandom in which I was willing to read pretty much anything, I thought I should put a HP fic up here. Raspberry Jam, by vvc. As the author says, “This is a slow, soft, sort of love story. Quite smarmy in parts. There is no action. There is no […]
More Memorable Moments from 4×18 8. Record Number of Missions Per Day Moment: The whole episode. It starts with Team Sheppard returning from plague planet #8. Then they go to Teyla’s vision planet. Back to Atlantis. Off to Hoff. Back to Atlantis. Off to Todd’s oddly dinosaur-skeleton-like base/ship. Back to Atlantis. Lunch. Back to Todd. […]
Just a note: According to TV Guide, Teyla’s mystery lover and baby-daddy’s name is spelled “Kanaan.” Memorable Moments (part 1) from 4×18 1. Witty Exchange Moment: (Ronon) “Maybe we just came to kill you.” (Todd) “Did you?” (John) “Unfortunately, no.” (Todd) “Well, there’s always next time. 2. Creepy John/Todd Moment: (John) “That’s not gonna happen.” […]
Wraithbaby! I can’t be the only person who was instantly suspicious of Teyla’s mysterious Athosian lover / father of her unborn child. When could she possibly have found time for that? And now she says they were friends since childhood? And that he also had the Wraith DNA? I’m absolutely not convinced. I know this […]
Days unemployed: 75 Inches of snow so far today: 3. ish. (that may be wishful thinking) Hours until SGA is on: 2 Level of confusion (scale of 1-10, 1 being a feeling of godlike omnipotence, 10 being a sense that competence and I don’t even have a passing acquaintance) about how tv shows are being […]
Overheard Fanfic is a site to post all those amazing quotes from fanfic that you want to share. Rodney waved his hand. “You know—weird. Like, he’s gone all quiet.” “Yes,” Zelenka deadpanned. “You and the Colonel adopted refugee babies and have become lesbians, but the quietness, that is what I noticed.” Overheard Fandom is a […]
I’m doing two posts about this movie, just as an easy way to make up for not posting yesterday. A less creeped-out view of “Ratatouille”: 1. It kind of reminded me of High School Musical 2. No, really, it did. Because the message of that movie was all “stick with your friends,” but it actually […]
I finally saw “Ratatouille,” and it was … interesting. My sister and I had this long talk about it today, and she had many very clever and insightful things to say about the negative and often disturbing themes of the movie (unfortunately common in the animated film genre). Here was my problem with the movie: […]
