Hello LJ! Let's do a lyrics guessing meme I've done in the past.

1. Open up your music player. Hit shuffle.
2. Record the first few lines of the first 25 songs that come up. Skip instrumentals, but don't skip the embarrassing ones.
3. Make hapless LJ/DW denizens guess the song names and artists. Google is cheating. For musical songs, the name of ( Read more... )

Hello LJ!  I have a few recs for you.

First, a STUNNING MCU fanvid (spoilers for all MCU films, including Captain America: Civil War and the trailer for Doctor Strange):

Holy shit, y'all.  99% of professional trailers and music videos wish they had half this vid's editing rhythm and sense of motion.  I'd never heard the song before, but it's ( Read more... )

Friday night I did a rewatch of the first two Captain America movies.  When Bucky fell off the train into the chasm, I made a distressed noise that caused my cat Noodles to get up from where she was dozing on a different chair and come snuggle beside me on the couch.  Thank you, Noodles. <3  I needed that comfort in a time of emotions ( Read more... )

Steven Moffat is stepping down as showrunner, to be replace by Chris Chibnall.

( Reaction under cut due to use of gifs. The short version is that I'm mostly very happy for the change, but with some ambivalence )

OMG, I forgot how intense it feels to get New Sherlock after a hiatus.  It's hard to even sort out what my reaction to the content of the show is because the whole time I'm watching it there's a part of my brain excitedly repeating "IT'S BACK!  NEW EPISODE!  IT'S BACK!  NEW EPISODE!", which gets distracting.  Here are my thoughts as best I can get ( Read more... )

I have a lot of thoughts about Doctor Who, y'all.  I'd let myself fall very behind this season, but I watched Sleep No More and Face the Raven a few nights ago, then Heaven Sent, Hell Bent, and The Husbands of River Song all in a Christmas binge with my family.  Here are some very general spoiler-free thoughts outside a cut first, then episode- ( Read more... )

I was going to try to get more done this afternoon, but I've spent more time than expected on the computer, looking at the news from Paris.  My heart aches for the victims of this atrocity.  The scale of the attacks is truly awful.  My heart aches also for those affected by the bombings in Lebanon earlier in the day, where over 40 people were ( Read more... )

It is immensely entertaining to watch Captain America: The Winter Soldier with someone who is unspoiled about the Winter Soldier storyline.  When I was watching it in the theater for the first time, the friend I was with gasped and covered her mouth with her hands when Steve first recognized Bucky. (I was involved enough in fandom that even though ( Read more... )
