So I read this piece on hating Taylor Swift and I just had to add my 2 cents ( Read more... )

So I think maybe I just like big things. Or people. Or something. I was considering this when my friends made fun of my taste in men. I like big men. Like really tall, over a foot taller than me tall, 2 times my size tall. I like it when they're bulky and big and the bigger the better. Like a Jason Momoa/Dwayne Johnson/Chris Hemsworth trifecta up ( Read more... )

So I'm chewing on my Cloud Atlas experience still. But I've been reading a lot of reviews and interviews, some of which you can find here, here, and here. The reviews I've read so far have been a little underwhelmed. Very much along the lines of, "well it was ambitious but it falls short.

Cloud Atlas was a very complex, thought provoking, interesting, and EXCITING (!) film. Thus, I can't fully articulate how I feel about it right now.

So I was watching Buffy with my sister and it suddenly occurred to me that I couldn't remember when Willow and Tara got together. Officially. It just sort of happened. It wasn't a big deal and it wasn't really like, "Dude you're dating HER now?!" the way new couples tend to be christened in shows nowadays. It just....sort of happened ( Read more... )

Today was a big animation day for me. I watched Brave with my sister and then the season finale of the Legend of Korra. Watching Brave made me think hard about what was being said gender wise in the film, because Lasseter has been on record saying there was an effort made by the studio to actively create their first female hero. The movie itself I ( Read more... )
