So let me get this straight. This week, we've had:

• The Boston Marathon Bombings, with 3 dead;
• As a result of which, Boston is shut down today;
• The West, TX explosion, with at least 12 dead, hundreds hurt, and many still missing;
• A 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Iran & Pakistan with thousands of homes destroyed;
• Flooding in Chicago and the ( Read more... )

Right so here's the thing. ( Cut for possible spoilers for Man of Steel, Star Trek: Into Darkness, and Iron Man 3 )

OK, I have not read many Marvel comics - some Spiderman at one point when a favorite author was writing for it, but that's pretty much it. So I am unclear as to why this official pic from Captain America 2 has everyone squeeing and wondering if the costuming means what they think it does? ( Cut for costuming spoilers )

I have had a week. Thus, I decided I needed to go to the theater and immerse myself in a silly, fun movie. So I went to see Jack the Giant Slayer. I know, I know, but it was silly, and fun, and Ewan McGregor was great (and great-looking!). I was able to turn my brain off enough for the duration of the movie so that I was able to enjoy it well ( Read more... )

It just occurred to me that it's been ages in US TV time since the last Grimm episode aired, which confused me. I thought surely they'd air more episodes during the traditional February sweeps month, right? Instead, they're apparently airing them after sweeps, on March 8th. NBC, what are you doing? You make no sense ( Read more... )

Right, I somehow do not have a Nikita icon, so Wonder Woman will have to do. Because Nikita is Wonder Woman.

Nikita is a ridiculously awesome show, which it proved yet again with last Friday's show. Yet people are not watching it. Somehow it keeps getting renewed *crosses fingers for yet another renewal*, but it's not because a lot of people are ( Read more... )

Wow, for once we have an episode return date months in advance! I am shocked.

Just finished watching Argo. I will say that I was remarkably tense throughout much of it, given that I knew how it would end. I rather wish Affleck had been given the opportunity to be considered for the Best Director award. Not sure he necessarily deserves the award, but I think he probably deserves the nomination at least ( Read more... )

Resurrecting an icon from the 2008 election. I love this day, y'all. I love Inauguration Day, I love the swearing in (to which I teared up both yesterday and today), I love the parade, I love that Al Roker just got Biden to dash over during the parade to shake his hand, I love it all. I especially loved the President's speech; there were many ( Read more... )
