Life After Tomorrow is streaming on Hulu Plus. It might be in other places, but that is how I watched it :) I've never heard of the UK documentary, and now I am also sad that there's no way to watch it! Boo!

YES! Kate's a real stand-out in the movie — both her and Pepper. I love Kate's solo in You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile, too. When I watched the documentary Life After Tomorrow it suddenly made sense that both had been on Broadway and/or in the national tour; Pepper actually played Annie but was too old for…

PREACH. The episode "Eggs" is one of the best episodes of a comedy I have ever seen—started off laughing, ended up crying. New Girl is totally on point ALL. THE. TIME.

I love reading the wikis, etc. and going back over the best wanks. They still blow my mind. I was also more or less missed the big ones — I was just getting into fandom whe most of the Clare and later Ms. Scribe stuff happened, but later on I ended up getting to know a lot of people who saw it all first hand. No…

Totally agree. I'm in/was in Harry Potter fandom, and the super-fan one-upmanship is sometimes eye-rollingly annoying. There are factions of HP fandom, and I was firmly in the "fanfic writing/meta online discussion" crowd. In my "real life," I ended up in the sphere of a different kind of fan/group: IRL fans who have…

Yeahhhh... this is the part where the happy ending of the real life story probably won't mirror the show. Excited! On the bright side: I'm pretty sure Pensatucky will be able to get new teeth! :P

Hopefully we get more of it in season two. When they reveal that her parents are upper middle class and white? Really piqued my interest. I wonder what her crime was, and why she's not being properly medicated for whatever it is she has. I also really want to know more about Taystee.

YES. I love Orange for all the same reasons. I just love the humanity of every. single. character (good or bad). I had this surreal moment around episode 10 where I really processed HOW MANY WOMEN were on this show. I'm so not used to seeing it.

I didn't like the first episode, either, since I find Piper to be the least interesting character. But I have a "first three episodes" rule for trying out new shows, and I'm glad I stuck with it. After the first episode, the show really starts focusing on all the other characters, and some of them are amazingly well…

It just premiered on Thursday, so my guess is the staff needed the weekend to watch it...?

I love going to Disneyland as a childless adult. Admittedly, I like children, so being surrounded by millions of them doesn't bug me (oblivious parents who let their children run amok, on the other hand...). I was skeptical at first, but then I fell in with some Disney fanatics and experienced it with them. It's just…

I want to love this, I do. But the trailer leaves me kind of "meh," and it was produced by Stephanie Meyer. So I'm keeping my expectations low in the hopes it exceeds them. Hopefully it's better than Lost in Austen, which I desperately wanted to love but just couldn't.

Disneyland still does largely look like this. It is of course modernized and super commercialized, but Disneyland, as opposed to Disney World in FL, has maintained a lot of the charm of yesteryear. It's not very big, for one, and the people who have maintained it clearly love it. (disclaimer: I know some hardcore…

Yeah... he described her as really intense, focused on the work and not very warm. Me: "this describes every male geek producer/director ever." Like what? Is she supposed to hug the crew and bake them cookies? You are there to work, on a project that is her brainchild; she is in charge. (note: she wasn't actually…

He was on the crew and got fired. She was, of course, a "bitch" for this. In my mind, I'm going "if she were a man, that would not even come up." Made me like Felicia Day 1000x more for basically being a baller, passionate creative professional. But generally he felt that hot nerd women got everything easy because…

I don't knowwwwww. He skeeved me out. Wayyyy too earnest and over-sharey. I think I dodged a bullet there :)

I was on a fairly good date with a guy who checked plenty of boxes. We were seeing a Whedon film (HUGE PLUS), he was ginger, funny, etc. Then he went on a rant about working with Felicia Day on The Guild and basically said she and other female nerds don't have to work as hard to achieve their success because they are…

B&N already has that sub-section! At least, my local does. It's a stack on the end of a shelf, but that still kind of counts :)

Oh, I know. But there's a difference between asking a child what they'd like for dinner, and letting every dinner/outing/TV/life decision ever revolve around your children (and being permissive of tantrums, demands and rude behavior). Sometimes we have to eat things we don't like, and sometimes everyone gets Kraft…

I can relate to this, as well! As hardline as I am with parents who let their kids run all over them, I was raised by a progressive parent (partly why I'm so hardline — she treated me with respect, but with boundaries!). It really hits me when it comes to authority figures. I love your use of the word "arbitrary." So…
