Mauviel copper!
I've been watching the 9 minute Ratatouille preview and the trailer and hee! It looks awesome! Not to mention... I recognize La Cornue ovens! Lots of Mauviel copper! A Microplane zester! Heeeeeeeee ( Read more... ) -
"Good heavens... People."
Good thing I haven't a whole lot of money, because every single time I buy a DVD, I end up watching it a bajillion times in the course of just a couple of weeks. I lost interest in Mr. & Mrs. Smith a while ago, and my new obession is the 2005 version of Pride & Prejudice. Gah, absolutely gorgeous movie. It's not perfect in the least, and I'm ( Read more... ) -
Caprica
Well, the BSG prequel has been announced. (Brought to my attention by dduane.) While I think it'd be interesting to see, I'm not sure how excited I'm really going to get. If this means that Moore and Eick will have to split their attention between two shows, both may suffer. Not that I think that M&E are infalliable genuises with BSG, it's just that ( Read more... ) -
Nothing says 'I love you' like a bomb
A real headline from yesterday's Irish Examiner, as sent to me by my friend living in Ireland, but it had nothing to do with Ireland itself:A Mexican couple were recovering separately after a marital spat got out of control and saw them firing guns, throwing knives and hurling homemade bombs, according to Mexican daily newspaper. In scenes taken ( Read more... ) -
Detached, yet peeved. Yes, peeved, I tell you.
I find myself oddly detached from this season of 24. And I didn't even see the first 10 minutes myself. On the Sunday that it premiered, I was with my parents at a vintage clothing/costume store located very, very far from our television. The store had the radio on and as I was struggling out of a tailored black calfskin vest with a small corner ( Read more... ) -
There is something very unhealthy and sad about this.
Obsessed. I am obsessed with Mr. & Mrs. Smith. I have watched the DVD seven bajillion times. In fact, I have rewatched this movie and all its special features in lieu of finishing my BSG season 2 review AND instead of rewatching Serenity or watching the special features for Serenity. Now THAT'S saying something. John/Jane (Brangelina) is now ( Read more... ) -
Shouldn't I be doing something else?
I had a nice post reflecting on why I never produce anything for the fandoms I so fervently follow, and my cantankerous, outdated version of IE "unexpectedly quit." It's probably the universe telling me to stop wasting time by trying to sound intelligent about useless activities I only wish I did, but I'm irritated enough to want to try again. ( Read more... ) -
"I'm a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar!"
Since I'm still falling all over myself with love for Serenity, I figured the post in which I do nothing but sqwee and geek on about how much it is awesome belongs here. So, without spoliers or further ado ( Read more... ) -
IP article on fandom.
Ha! An actual entry! It's mainly to archive a link, but hey, it belongs here more than anywhere else.
Article on Intellectual Property issues for Fandom, found via Diane Duane's blog, Out of Ambit. It's long, and the formatting is smushed, but it appears to be a well considered and well researched essay. As expected, it does not give a decisive ( Read more... ) -
Don't mind me... I'm just a puddle of fangirl.
The nice thing about LJ is the creation of communities and connections... but sometimes I want to admire from afar. This is just an easy way for me to have an digest of the LJ entries of all the cool people that fall prey to my fangirlish tendencies without blatantly exposing the un-cool whining I generally spout in my personal LJ, or subjecting ( Read more... )
