“…if your favorite part of SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE was Superman standing in the Fortress while Jor-El lectured him, you’re gonna love MAN OF STEEL.” —

Man of Steel, since you asked. | Thrillbent

There are so many good lines in Mark Waid’s review of Man of Steel. While I think (still not sure exactly how I feel about it) I liked the movie a little bit more than him, Mark Waid accurately sums up the biggest problem with this movie.

And I don’t think I blame Zack Snyder for that. I blame Christopher Nolan, the DC/WB execs, and The Dark Knight.

Mad Style: Favors | Tom & Lorenzo → tomandlorenzo.com

This article provides excellent insight into Bob Benson, gay subculture in 1968, and how he would fit into it.

Plus, their usual fascinating analysis of Janie Bryant’s costuming.

You’re making out with your partner and things start to get hot. You start feeling under their shirt only to discover they’re wearing chain-mail.

The Rains of Castamere begins playing.

“JK Rowling created seven Horcruxes. She put a part of her soul in every book and now her books will live forever” —

 -Stephen King (via howtedmethiswife)

#this was really sweet until i thought about the fact that if that were true she would have had to kill a person to create each one -Skyedestiny

How else do you explain Dumbledore, Snape, Fred, Lupin, Tonks, Hedwig, and Dobby?

(via vikingplumb)

I just fucking lost my shit. 

(via connor-sexonlegswithahat-temple)

Where are the rest of her horcruxes then? James, Lilly, Sirius, Cedric Diggory, and many others also died to bring us those books.


I hope Sirius Black didn’t die for The Casual Vacancy.

“Toymakers will tell you they won’t sell enough, and movie people will point to the two terrible superheroine movies that were made and say, You see? It can’t be done. It’s stupid, and I’m hoping The Hunger Games will lead to a paradigm shift. It’s frustrating to me that I don’t see anybody developing one of these movies. It actually pisses me off. My daughter watched The Avengers and was like, “My favorite characters were the Black Widow and Maria Hill,” and I thought, Yeah, of course they were. I read a beautiful thing Junot Diaz wrote: “If you want to make a human being into a monster, deny them, at the cultural level, any reflection of themselves.” —

Joss Whedon in an interviewer for The Daily Beast, in which the interviewer asked why he thinks there’s a lack of female superheroes in film (x)

Amen!

“Last year, 146 American girls were named Khaleesi. That’s a 450% jump in the name’s usage from 2011.” —

Laura Wattenberg, Khaleesi: The Non-Name from a Non-Language  (via samflynn)

There’s probably one sixteen-year-old with really geeky, “early adopter” parents who read A Game of Thrones when it first came out. This girl has probably grown up hating this name until now. Now, she hates all these “posers” stealing her name. She had it before HBO made it “popular.”
