Full Victorian is great. But everyone knows you never, ever go full Edwardian.

Elba should totally play the boxer. Bare knuckle fighting was something that gentlemen weren't allowed to do, so Elba as a guy who's made a name and fortune for himself by succeeding in boxing as a "lower class" person of color teaming up with Poe who in theory was more acceptable to society but who was a shambling…

Somewhat tangentially related, but Larry Zerner (of Friday the 13th Part 3 fame) wrote an AMAZING blog post on the difference between registering a screenplay with the WGA vs the U.S. Copyright office, which is a must read for anyone who has ever thought of trying to sell a script: https://zernerlaw.wordpress.com/2010/…

While I am not a lawyer or an expert in clearances, the song lyrics are copywrited separately from the music, so just quoting the lyrics may leave you open for a claim. Are you making a commentary on the lyrics/is there a parody involved, are you making a statement about pop culture, or is one of your characters just…

Are you practicing law until the Dord Fiann is sounded three times and you have to go back to hero-ing?

The only study I've read (and it wasn't recent) was that children raised my opposite sex lifetime cohabiting couples don't feel as secure as ones raised by opposite sex married children. This study was before gays could legally marry is most states which is why I specify. If you ask me what the benefits of not…

I'm watching DS9 right now. It is also amazing no matter how timey wimey/ mirror mirror things get people just accept other people's stories. "Oh clearly you're from the other universe because you don't act like OUR so and so." Or, "Warf- those smooth headed klingons in the past aren't actually KLINGONS, right?" "Oh.…

I'm not very skilled at arguing my point either. I usually just say, "Well we can agree to disagree." Because ending one's opinion statement with, "That's just how I feel" usually doesn't work well. How do you usually handle it?

I'd think that too if I hadn't worked with him at one point. He makes his own action figures somewhat frequently. It was not uncommon at all to walk into his office and see him soldering stuff, or see him in the fabrication shop borrowing tools. One time I came back from lunch and not only was he leaving me some Adult…

If you can still make a good Dalek joke after life's repeated punches in the face, you sir will be just fine. Remember to breathe. No reference, that just really helps me, to stop for a second and just focus on breathing.

This is game changing for the next season of Community.

I started out strong watching both Once Upon a Time and Grimm, gave up Once when I realized it was a Fairy Soap, gave up Grimm when I realized it was CSFae, then when back to Once because I could listen to it while doing a giant data entry project and not be too distracted yet not lose my mind because giant data entry…

I'm just going off memory, it could be in summer. My super Christian auntie told me when I was a kid that according to context clues in the Bible Jesus was born in spring/summer and the church moved it so it could absorb/replace the winter pagan holidays. Pretty cool of her.

A guy came to my work Halloween party dressed as this painting, and when I took a photo my phone's camera facial recognition software didn't register his mask as a face.

Oh man, and I stopped watching Grimm! My former boss was on as the Porcupine Man and I haven't even seen his episode.

Because of this, I get kind of excited when I've known someone for awhile and have no idea what they do for work. I've made two brand new friends in the past year where it didn't come up for months what either of us did for a living, and we didn't think to ask.

I was the kindergartner whose father was a statistician, and every time someone said, "What's your daddy's job?" I would start spitting Ss like a had a lisp.

So it was really SATAN that Kurt Angle defeated in that wrestling match. So he's actually a good guy? http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5y3lm_k…

What movie is this from?!?

Clearly consumerism has won the fight with Christianity, and it is all Santa's fault. Not the pagan tree, or the Easter Bunny, or Irving Berlin, or the moving it from Jesus' spring birthday to December...
