Luke Wilson is a really nice dude, as far as I know. He was filming a movie on the college campus where my mom worked several years ago, and he really went out of his way to get to know the staff and be friendly to everyone as long as he was there.

But the Southern Wang has proved controversial in Alabama.

I will second all the hatred for "Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts" in Dragon Age: Inquisition, and add "every single thing about Orzammar" in Origins. Fuck those dwarves and their stupid fucking roads, and fuck Branka and her anvil especially. Sometimes I end up betraying Caridin just because he's the easier one to…

Oh, man. I always procrastinate on that quest as long as possible—not necessarily because of the duchess fight, because I usually end up being able to skip it, but just because there's so much shit I feel obligated to do and collect and it gets so tedious.

My god, it's full of assholes.

I didn't realize that the Ackame was regionally specific to Philly. Huh.

Is that the one where the kid's heart explodes? Because if so, that one fucked me up.

I mean, there is something to be gained from reading above your comprehension level when you can. I was about the same age when I first read Watership Down, and I didn't understand the epigraphs, but I wanted to, so I looked up what I could, and what I still couldn't figure out, I came back to later.

It definitely wasn't up to the standard of the original, but I did like the parts that fleshed out the El-Ahrairah mythology. I don't remember much else about the book, but I liked the extra legends.

Let's not go off on a tangent here.

Claudio's such a tough role to pull off, too. Modern sensibilities make him detestable, but he's still a protagonist, and so you have to find a way to make him someone the audience isn't rooting against, while still acknowledging in some way that he's a real bag of dongs and doesn't much deserve his happy ending.

I've noticed how Joss Whedon always seems to find weird but really talented nobodies and get amazing performances from them, and then when he's done with them, it's like he locks them in a basement so that you never see them in anything else ever again.

All those convents out in the country, where they're focused on country matters.

Most of the people who love it so much haven't seen it either, though. Its popularity is built largely on the soundtrack, which is free.

Alan Cumming

I would be okay with Jared Leto winning an Oscar for the Joker as long as it was also a posthumous one.

What's a God Particle to a non-believer particle?

What is Azerbaijan? (We just don't know.)

I thought pissed-off trees made everyone in The Happening crazy. Hot dogs would make more sense.

I just want to see Teyonah Parris in more things. She was so underused on Mad Men.
