Blogger ate this entry, so I’m reposting:

A hilarious comparison of the romantic exploits of Veronica Mars and Buffy Summers.

Unrelated, but HAHAHAHA, Riley’s Mary Sue of a wife is going to be a Bond Girl! There’s something so deliciously *right* about that.

And speaking of Joss things, I have a severe case of Region 4 envy. All those delicious 2-disk Serenity extras, available in Central America, the Caribbean, Mexico, Oceania, South America, but not available to me. When are we going to get the shiny Browncoat edition we all yearn for? One where the split-second “Mal touches one of Wash’s dinosaurs when he asks ‘So, you gonna ride shotgun with me, help me fly?'” clip is reinstated?

And in the “laughed ’til I cried” category, If Joss Wrote For Peanuts.

Meanwhile, Barbara Fusar Poli and Maurizio Margaglio. Were their costumes designed by a blind woman that HATED them?

Ko and I decided that Snowboardcross would be so much cooler if athletes could set each other on fire. They’d carry torches to demonstrate Olympic spirit, and they’d wear flame-retardent suits to protect their tender flesh. Extra points would be awarded based on how much of their suit is not charred. And the commentators could finally be literal when they declare a certain athlete to be “on fire!”

Twenty years into the future, when robots walk the earth and human cloning is commonplace, I want my own mini Jeffrey Buttle to keep in my pocket, close to my heart. He sho CUTE!

100 Years of Music on the London Underground — very cool

Your ‘Verse, Your Words — fanmade audio commentary tracks for Serenity and Firefly. I suppose it’s only a matter of time before someone comes up with a Browncoat People, Dear Reader!

Geeks in Love — I was delighted to see Puppet Pal Dumbledore in there, but then I see on the credits screen, the music was done by Neil Cicierega, who created the Potter Puppet Pals!

Also featuring Neil’s music: The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, and more here!

I’m looking for great romantic movies with thwarted endings. Either one of the characters dies, or they don’t end up together, or whatever. I’m planning a Festival of Merry Misandry tomorrow night, for all my female friends without boyfriends (or girlfriends, as the case may be), one I like to call “Sergeant Pepper-Spray’s Lonely Hearts Club Night”. Ice cream, chocolate, and a pox on all things male!

My list of potentials: (that I have in my DVD collection)

  • West Side Story
  • Casablanca
  • Moulin Rouge
  • Edward Scissorhands
  • Vita E Bella
  • Finding Neverland

Of course, a lot of these are really depressing. I’m wondering if I should shift the theme from “If I don’t get a boyfriend, then neither do you!” to Offbeat Romance and do something along the lines of Amelie or Bridget Jones.

Thoughts?
