You missed some fun, wierd stuff. BIG TIME SPOILERS: She basically goes insane with loneliness. She biologically engineers the monkeys herself, using surgery more than magic. She and Fiyero become lovers; he is later captured (likely killed) by the authorities, and as Dorothy and company approach her castle she…

Especially since the art is evocative of "101 Dalmations" and its contemporaries. Of course, my second thought was "Aren't all those guys dead by now?"

I went to the musical with my parents, and I was excited because I loved the book. My dad fell asleep, later describing it as a "chick flick". He was right. The Defying Gravity setpiece is the only thing that justifies its existence.

I just want to note that this is how far down I had to scroll to find someone talking about something other than Community.

I met a possum.

You must be girls!

THEN: You can do anything you want to do!
NOW: I was poor at your age, too!
THEN: I can…

It's not everyone. The problem is the level headed ones are a very small minority. Their opinions tend to get the least attention, unfortunately.

Did you just read something on the Internet, take the most possible offense to it, and then make a vague statment showing how morally superior you view is? Because that would be delightful to me right now.

No one who beats their breast over social justice on the internet actually does anything for social justice, they just want credit for caring. The entire commentariat at Gawker et al. are in a frenzied race with each other to be the most outraged in the shortest amount of time…and then they turn on Netflix and zone…

Or when the Penguin rises from the pool in the sewer and blood is pouring from every orifice in the face. I mean, damn.

I now want to watch this again, and I look forward to tonight when I discover it is not on Netflix instant, HBO Go, or On Demand.

Nice burn! You, however, are still not married to June Diane Raphael. You lose!

Speaking of music-preaching, did anyone see Dawes on Conan last night?
