Time to linkspam y’all…it’s been WAY too long.
This is
a wonderful meme for the holiday season that I'm preparing to do…and
so is this one if I can figure out how to set up this type of poll. Anybody?
Apparently the co-founder of Greenpeace is now
in favor of nuclear energy as the only viable solution to our energy and carbon emission woes.
The NY Times discusses the idea of
humanity’s need to create and enjoy art being a favored evolutionary trait.
Wired interviews the country’s top sexologists about the latest in
female orgasm research.
I hope you all are getting out to see
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, a fantastic film. Very powerful, deceptively simple, and the most badass badguy you will ever meet. I have more to say on it – but for now
let me leave you with this link (spoiler warning), which explores some other opinions and in particular the film’s unusual ending.
This is really cool, that Fox is doing
a fan poster contest for THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES…but this detail from the contest rules really sucks:
“Entrant may NOT use his/her own original illustrations, photographs or other images, fonts, text copy, and drawings and may NOT use 3rd party elements.” Boooo Fox. Boooo. (btw if you want to participate, hurry up the deadline is only a few weeks away…)
This NY Sun piece features very nasty comments on the films, but is nevertheless my great reminder that WB just released DVDs of two of my childhood 70s SF faves,
LOGAN’S RUN and
SOYLENT GREEN. Ahhhh <3 <3 <3
I have been turned on to two exciting music web sites I want to highly recommend: VSL showed me
this new NPR music site, which I’ll have to explore soon. And BSG actress
Nicki (“Cally”) Clyne’s blog introduced me to
Pandora, which is just incredible so far…I’ve only scratched its surface, creating a single channel inspired by The New Pornographers. Fun stuff.
I am a latecomer to the magic that is HEROES Exec Producer
Greg Beeman’s blog. It’s never too late! I am entranced at the moment by
these mysterious SLUSHO pics (go down the post a bit and you'll find em)...How do these relate to CLOVERFIELD? Anyone understand this glorious, mystifying mashup? Slusho cups have made an appearance on HEROES for 2 weeks now…and Beeman says it's all "don't ask/don't tell" for now, but "their cultural significance will become clear in the coming months so pay attention!" I'm geekably fascinated. Meanwhile, I’m still a tad joyfilled that gothamist has called out CLOVERFIELD as “
NYC Destruction Porn.” Yeah, I’m a longtime fan of that (ARMAGEDDON anyone? Heh.)
Always helpful
mediocrechick has supplied us with yet another great set of scans – this time of
People’s Sexiest Men Alive issue. Don't know about you girls - but most of my TV faves are here. *dies* But why is Taylor Kitsch wearing so much clothing…and what is with the bizarre (over)retouching on Nathan Fillion? At least Milo has accepted and owned up fully to his utter sexiness. Must be why Beeman is always photographing him shirtless (see above)? *g*
I am incredibly pleased to hear that
BBCA has decided to run S2 of TORCHWOOD so quickly…I am loving this show, and would have hated to wait a frakking year!
Two very engrossing (and depressing) new posts on the Writers Guild strike:
this one is about the less-publicized, and highly dangerous, anti-union practices involving reality TV.
And this one is written by a lawyer in digital media, entertainment and technology law – discussing just how much the AMPTP are so NOT GETTING THIS in a basic way.
ch_photoshopped has more of her
gorgeous flickering light icons – this time with a wintery theme. *snuggles closer to the fire *
