liptonrm_backupLately 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
* 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.

Let's Netflix Spaced!
-
Why so far away Super 8?! When does "Super" come out? Also - Do you want to go see that one about the secret pretend world chick in the mental place? Or Paul - J doesn't want to, but I'm game - I'll go see either of those with you, my treat.
-
Was that Batman thing really from a comic?
-
I was like, "He married his neice! Oh wait, that guy married his neice too!" WTF!
-
IDK Paula Smith was from Michigan! Also, she is right - what makes it a Mary Sue if it she bends the characters outside of their normal characterizations with the power of her awesomeness. That is a good way to think of it. Also, blahblah about why Bond and Superman are not Marty Stus - I think Superman is, it's why I call him a pussy, only I didn't know it! Who cares if Bond is, he is hot. HOT! Not as hot as 006. I actually found the stories of the early days, the cons and the zines and shit to be the most interesting.

We'll talk about the tshirt later, missy!
