Cowboys and Aliens ***

First off, Daniel Craig is HOT. And an excellent actor, with a surprisingly pleasant Western American accent. Lower than his real accent, I think. The film was enjoyable, although I wish more alien movies were like Star Trek or Doctor Who, where the aliens don't fall into the following stereotypes: noble savage (and victim ( Read more... )

I'm breaking my mother's heart. The longer I stand looking at you, the more I hear it splinter and crack, from ninety miles away...
I'm breaking my mother's heart. The JCC of Spring Valley is shaking and crumbling to the ground, and my grandfather is rolling, ROLLING in his grave...

If you had a tattoo, that wouldn't matter. If you had a shaved head ( Read more... )

 It was really really gay. And quite good, despite some plotholes and a lack of subtlety--but you can find subtlety in fanfic, so I guess that's alright. James McAvoy was really good, and Michael Fassbender was adequate. I was annoyed that they included Wasp but called her Angel. WTF?

It was also neat that the LGBT metaphor was carried through this ( Read more... )

So my stepdad's cousin, Uncle Dan, died last night. I don't know how to feel about it. It seems so unreal, like I actually can't believe that it happened. I'm not good at death. Mom's a wreck.

He was a really cool guy. I'll miss him.

(Amazon's summary) In a land where two countries have been torn by war for generations, Princess Jessa is sent as a peace offering to the country of Arravan, understanding all too well that she is being sacrificed upon the altar of her father’s ambitions-and condemned to an uncertain and ( Read more... )
