If anyone ever tells you you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don’t need that kind of negativity in your life.

the thing is, however, that both are true.

Can any one guess the one nit I want to pick with this entire thing?

dear people who keep making bad superman movies:

gyzym:

look, i get it: superman as a character can be pretty hard to make an audience relate to because he’s, you know, a super man! he has the powers, we know not of them, and while the interesting angle on superman is definitely his humanity y’all keep getting that really wrong, like shamefully wrong, but it’s okay, i understand, it’s hard to write, the shadow of the great christopher reeve movies, shhh, shhh. it’s gonna be okay, let me explain you a thing, there’s an easy solution, you just make this movie:

we open on a twelve year old lois lane in the aftermath of a FUCKSHIT CATASTROPHE. something disastrous has gone down — maybe it’s a massive oil spill, maybe it’s a situation reminiscent of the erin brockovich scandal, this is just a vague concept sketch, fill in what you want. the important part is: it’s a big bad corporate fuckup of the sort that we’re all too familiar with these days, and it’s got lexcorp written all over it. our first introduction to lois is watching her get approached by a patronizing, downtalking reporter and, all of twelve years old, step up to the fucking plate and take him and the company to task in the public eye. she’s the most poised and professional and pissed as fuck twelve year old you’ve ever seen, and she knows her facts, too. the reporter is impressed, but not as impressed as we, the audience, are as we watch her reign back her fear and do whatever she can to help her family, friends, and community.

sharpcut to a guy in a dead run down a back alley; he’s sweating and looking over his shoulder, clearly being chased. the camera pans out to reveal a daily planet logo — because, hey guys, the year is 2013, so the planet’s a 24 hour news network* now. you can argue new york times parallels all you want but the truth is that if superman’s looking for a job where he can a) be apprised of what’s going down with maximum speed and b) have an excuse to be on the scene immediately? then in this day and age he sure as shit ain’t working for print media; fight me. and you know what else, maybe clark’s a fucking camera man because he’s not actually great at reading or writing news because YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES CHARACTERS RELATABLE AND INTERESTING TO HUMAN BEINGS IS FLAWS, F L A W S, THAT IS THE THING YOU KEEP FORGETTING AND IT’S WHY SUPERMAN MOVIES KEEP BEING PAINFULLY BORING, ugh, whatever, moving forward.

I’d watch that movie. I’d probably LOVE that movie.

“Female Empowerment, a Critique of Patriarchy … Is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon the Most Feminist Action Film Ever?” by Megan Kearns

Can an action film portray exquisitely choreographed fighting scenes, badass fully dimensional ladies, tragic romantic love and make a searing social statement? Yes, yes, yes. One of my favorite films, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is an undoubtedly feminist action film with a potent gender commentary woven throughout.

I might have to rewatch this.

hockeybroad:

First time I ever saw Brad Marchand, I thought, “Jeez, he looks really familiar.” But I’d never seen the P-Bruins play and I couldn’t figure out why my brain felt the déjà vu. Then, last night, I was watching “Circle of Friends”, and Alan Cumming’s character entered the scene…. ding!

Great. Thanks. That’s all I needed.

In my new office, I’ve made myself two blackboard walls, a big one for work stuff, and a smaller one for things to just help me keep inspired, not just about work, but about the whole of my life. For its maiden voyage, as it were, I wanted to start with something I’ve always really loved, this quote from Tom Robbins’ Still Life with Woodpecker. Thought some of you might enjoy the important reminders it gives, too. - Heather

This is my ruler and notepad tattoo. I believe that tattoos can be used for functionality as well as memory. I’m a designer, so I use the ruler for buttons, zippers, and trim widths. Usually the notepad has an address or to-do list on it. :)

Genius.

“But I think it’s absolutely time for a female Doctor Who. I’m so sick of that man with his girl sidekick. I could name at least 10 wonderful British actresses who would absolutely kill in that role.”

- - HELEN FUCKING MIRREN (via the-fury-of-a-time-lord)

When one of the queens of British acting speaks, Steven Moffat better fuckin’ listen.

Petition for Helen Mirren as the Doctor?

(via quiet000001)

I know everyone’s like omg no, i don’t want a famous actor… but yes, I think Mirren would be fabulous. She can be the doctor that swears “oh for f—-sake. We’re not blowing the whole planet up. Just the generator. Keep up, Reggy.”
