OMG YOU GUYS

I actually paid to see the Percy Jackson movie in theaters and left really angry about all my life choices.

Someone told me on the internet once that you can get a copy of it, but I don't remember if it was legal or illegal or what kind of software you need to run it.

Yes, but….a signficant portion of the marketing strategy for the first one was around the irritating minions.   And that shit worked like crazy for the kids who are their main draw.

Wow, this is a thing I didn't know I wanted!

Which is so weird, because it's not like the UK DOESN'T have plenty of bigoted people who want television attention.   It's just that apparently the British showrunners have some sort of moral code?

Has she done other "acting"/TV hosting in the past?

Scrawler, Tumblr is awesome!

Tell me more about Now You See Me?  I'm a 14-yr-old at heart, and I like Jesse Eisenberg.

Also, I spent all afternoon playing phone/email tag with two different interviewers, so I didn't get any of my writing projects done.  On the plus side, I'm feeling like there's an 80% chance I will be employed by them in the fall!

The more you know about Islamic history, the better it is.  Paul Atreides literally goes on the Hajj.

Oh, my rant about Mulan is MUCH, MUCH longer.   That is an amazing feminist movie because it manages to be both subversive to gender norms (especially with Shang, the love interest) without disrespecting Confucian ideals of family and honor. And the music is great.     I really, really hate her being seen as a

David Suchet???  Reasons to check it out for him alone!

I had three terrible roommates/subletters in a row and finally said FUCK THIS and got a studio.   Then I discovered how terribly lonely I am without people around.     Everything is awful.  :-p

That movie runs on cable every few months and confuses the hell out of me when I'm scanning listings.

I want to see this, but without paying for it.   Haven't decided if that means library in a few months or, uh, Internet…

You know, I was so shocked at how much I enjoy Awkward that I think I'm going to give Zach Stone a try.   After I catch up on GOT and Mad Men and Shameless and….
