So... I watched the first season of the Big Bang Theory, and I don't get it. I just don't think it's that funny. Most of the humour comes from one character saying something apparently nerdy and the other character (probably also a nerd themselves) rudely making fun of them for it. The canned audience finds being mean to your friends funny, because ( Read more... )

Fans of Avatar: the Last Airbender should definitely check out this new Zutara epic, Half-Asleep. Honestly, it's well-written and engaging. You're welcome.

In honour of Mark Reads Harry Potter finishing the whole series, I have decided to rank the HP books in order of preference, starting with my favourite. This was not easy, but:

7 6 4 1 3 2 5

I realize this is controversial. Everyone's all , "Oooh, POA," and I've ranked it 5th. But I stand by my ranking.

Please reply with your rankings!

Dudes, our symphony season has just started up and we have a super-great new Music Director, and everything. We played two UNBELEIVABLE concerts in a row.

But almost no-one has come. Concert attendance numbers are down, and no-one is coming to our super-great concerts!

WHY IS NO-ONE COMING TO MY CONCERTS, GUYS?!

I am sad forever.

You know, reading Mark Reads Harry Potter has gotten me thinking a lot about HP lately.

And you know, I am surprised that there wasn't--and isn't--more wank about the religious debates in Harry Potter. I mean, in those chapters with Lovegood, you have a pretty good debate about skepticism laid out right in front of you. And didn't anyone notice that ( Read more... )

I started watching the 2009 BBC Emma miniseries, but... emo backstory? Impatient, feisty Emma acting jealous and bored and flopping around the house?

DO NOT WANT. I just can't watch the rest.

The Gwyneth Paltrow version is near-perfect (even though they had to condense the story into 2 hours). And they didn't need to show backstory to let us know ( Read more... )

Because moeyknight wrote a post where she said she didn't have time to read Mark Reads Harry Potter, I am now reading it. And I can't stop myself! It's so awesome.

Mark reviews every chapter, and I am really loving how much delight he's taking in reading the series. He'd done a similar thing with Twilight, and was able to post hilarious, snarky, mocking blog ( Read more... )

Guuuuuuuuuys? Does anyone watch Community? Because I just saw the premiere of Season 2 and don't have anyone to talk to about it! Okay, I posted a bunch of crap on a Community community (heh). But most people liked the episode, and I thought it... sucked balls. I found it whiney and boring. More of my buzz-kill ranting can be found in this ( Read more... )

I just want to make something very clear to all of you: there is NO SUCH THING as a "fairytale wedding" or a "fairytale prom". Why? Because there are no fairytales about proms, people. Fairytales are filled with shit about spells being cast that make frogs come out of your mouth when you talk, or old ladies who live in moveable houses with chicken ( Read more... )
