Lately I've been spamming Baylor and Dodger with all of the random things I find on the internet. I eventually realized that I could spam the rest of you with them, too. That is, after all, what livejournal is for.

Strangely, a lot of these are trailers. I will endeavour to not clog up your f-lists.

* I love Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Like, really, a lot. Here they are re-enacting a scene from Star Wars.

Relatedly, the scene from Spaced where Simon Pegg's character rants about The Phantom Menace.

* The trailer for Super 8, JJ Abrams and Steven Spielberg's new movie that looks like E.T. meets Predator

( Super 8 Trailer )

* The trailer for Super starring Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page, Kevin Bacon, and Nathan Fillion. Frankly, it looks kind of awesome.

* The Alley Dance from the 1955 movie My Sister Eileen featuring Bob Fosse and Tommy Rall. I watched it and thought "Someone should make a J2 AU out of this."

* Disney Princesses as the Seven Deadly Sins

* Batman hates you.

* This family tree of King Charles II of Spain is one of the most disburbing things I've ever seen. Whole lots of uncles marrying nieces and close cousins marrying each other. The wikipedia entry says that the Charles II's genome was more homozygous than that of people whose parents were siblings. It's like that episode of The X-Files but in real life.

* Now, to wipe that taste out of your brains, An interview with Paula Smith the woman who coined the term 'Mary Sue'. It's a fascinating interview and it offers a lot of great history and perspective on fandom as a whole.

* In sum: Someone needs to buy me a Huntress t-shirt like, yesterday.
