I got really excited when I first heard Smaug speak because I thought it was James Earl Jones. And that made me really happy. I haven't heard him do a voice acting performance in quite some time. And then I thought to myself, "Yay, the younger generations finally get to have a new James Earl Jones experience!" Because…

I have friends (mostly female ones) who LOVE this movie and make it part of their annual What-to-Watch Marathon of holiday season movies/TV specials. I graduated from college in '07, so yeah, I had to endure this movie more than once around young friends who were so in love with the love expressed. By my tone, you can…

I will always star Eric Andre references. Always.

Oh Roald Dahl...So many lovely stories from my childhood that are quite worthy of "WTF" double looks when you really think about it.

I think I'm going to wait as well. I wouldn't say that I cranked through the episodes for the first season because certain ones made me go, "...Yeah, I'm going to stop now and go do something happy and upbeat" and take mini breaks to recenter myself. The thought of a long pause not because of my own psychological…

I'm actually disappointed this doesn't have an option for multi-player (at least for two players) if you want to play that way. But that's more of a personal "shucks" nitpick because I've been looking for a new game my bf and I can play together and was hoping this might be a good fit. I like zombie/horror games and…

I watched the first season of AHS while it aired and I had strong feelings of, "...Am I watching the same show as everyone else because I'm not feeling it" reaction. I am a very active consumer of horror narratives, and I found the first season a bit sloppy in the different stories being told and how those stories…

The fluidity of her movements is mesmerizing.

But she recovered beautifully. That's how you do it.

I totally own the lace dress (Anthropologie, w00t w00t) and silver/purple metallic dress (a BBDakota dress) that Sasha is wearing. Love. Them.

No, it's disjointed for me as well.

Is there any way to watch this wild card musical display online or do I need to have a TV?

Oh, I hadn't forgotten. Whenever I think of Ben Foster, this is exactly where my mind goes. ...Whether that's good or bad, I'll let others decide. I also fondly think of Jewel for her kinda-bitchy character on the Nickelodeon show "Space Cases."

My cynical side wants to say that it might have to do with Black Swan showing two women engaged in sexual activity and the weird denigration that female same-sexuality has been treated by Hollywood as titillating. And as non-threatening to patriarchal ideologies because it's two women, two individuals marked as…

Freaks me out to hear that, too. My parents are in their late 60s (granted, they also had me when they were in their 40s, which is considered a little late to the party), so it's hard for me to see "old" as that age when my parents are pretty damn capable.

I facepalmed. It hurt quite a bit.

Thank God I didn't see this last night while I was enjoying a glass...or two...of wine. I would've had a very strong "WTH am I seeing?!?" moment, followed by awful, awful dreams.

I've read several of bell hooks' analyses. But I have somehow been looking in the wrong direction such that I'm not in the know about Melissa Harris-Perry. So I Googled her and it turns out she must have popped up on my radar at some point over the past two years because I bought Sister Citizen during one of those "I…
