I find some shows are fun to be in on the internet community of it all, and seeing what everyone thinks week to week, I feel this will be one of them!

This first episode hits most of the major scenes in the first half of the book’s first chapter, although there are some changes (the sundown chase for example is a story told to Atticus about someone else that had journeyed into that region) I agree that I liked the book’s version of the woods attack better, but I…

true, but ill tell you, as a metal head, i think a lot of us have to grow, i know country gets noted due to its association with rural whites who tend to be the most vocally racist, but Ill tell you, I cannot think of 5 black heavy metal singers(i can think of one, melissa bonney, from rage of light, and when i did a…

Oh, that Earl song. I always found it funny that people thought that was a fun song and that Earl deserved it but gangsta rap was somehow worse. Like, it’s a song about planning and enacting First Degree Murder. What the shit, people?

This is so funny because I remember people getting upset about ‘Earl had to die’ that loved Dolly tying up her boss in 9 to 5. She’s always been fairly progressive, but I think a lot of people were able to paint it with nostalgia. I’ve never seen her comment so pointedly on something ‘political’. One thing I think…

I totally read that in Keegan Michael Key’s Luther voice.

i may not be a fan of her music, or her movies, or her theme park, or that dinner theater thing we had in orlando for a while; but i sure am a fan of who she is.

she’s a saint. and she does all these great things, and she isnt doing any of it for credit. i had to find out by a photo on facebook that i cant find.

Just because a country music artist said it doesn’t mean country music fans will like it. See also: The Chicks (née Dixie). They called out GWB and were summarily shifted out of the limelight at the height of their popularity. Radio stations stopped playing them and people still, to this day, say some awful things…

In related news, the Blockbuster account on Twitter has returned after a six year hiatus:

Ugh, the nuances this show explores are so great. I love how messy and real it is, never presenting either side of a situation as right or wrong, just existing in the same place and the same time. Genius.

Poor Ben hanging out in the background, being as supportive as ever to his mate, while Bella rails on about SWM made me laugh and laugh.

My favourite example is the scene from As You Like It when Rosalind teaches Orlando (whom she loves) who to woo, especially in its contemporary Shakespearean context. A male actor, playing a woman (Rosalind), dressed as a man (Ganymede), pretending to be a woman so that Orlando can practice wooing Rosalind with…

Patrick Stewart is my defining Claudius. I was blown the fuck away by his performance.

I have a personal theory about casting Much Ado About Nothing: pretty much everybody gets Claudio wrong by assigning the role to some stereotypically fresh-faced “pretty boy.” If I were directing a version, I’d cast some guy like Charlie Hunnam or Richard Ashton—a shy, hulking, rough-edged enforcer who’s not ordinary…

YES.  This is why David Tennant is the best.  He absolutely GETS IT.  If you don’t understand a line of dialogue, find a clip of Tennant performing it and you’ll get it.  

One aspect I find really interesting is the way the play subverts the idea of having an Alpha couple composed of the main characters, and a Beta couple composed of side character. To anyone watching or reading the play Benedick and Beatrice are clearly the main characters and what most would consider the Alpha couple.…

Wait, so you’re telling me it was SHAKESPEARE that created the classic trope of being chased out of a room by a bear?!

I was completely obsessed with the Branagh version when it came out, partly because I was a horny teenager, but mostly because it was so thrilling and funny and sexy. I also loved the costuming, everyone looking ever so slightly sweaty and deshabille. I also loved Whedon’s version, though, and thought the actors did…

I think there will thousands of Tim Horton’s cups dropped in shock and anger in Canada upon reading of Keanu Reeves described as a “well-known American actor”.

I had one of my favorite movie experiences when I went to see the Joss Whedon version. It was a matinee on a Wednesday or Thursday so the audience was mostly retirees. Just as I was leaving when the movie ended, this old man sitting a few seats away from me - he must have been in his late 70s / early 80s - turned to…
