Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

Hamell on Trial is one of my role models for geriatric parenting. Look how smoothly he works his son, Detroit, into his Kickstarter pitch.

Open Statement : The Help :: Mountain : Molehill

I’m dismayed by the over-reaction of opponents to The Help. Their hyperbolic statements trying to suggest that all black experiences of the 1960s in the South (and by extension all white people’s) were exactly the same, are as absurd as the idea that The Help is representative of the era. By rewriting the Jim Crow racism and Civil Rights struggle into an all black versus all white story ignores the fact that without all races and classes struggling to achieve equality, we would not have come so far and we could not hope to achieve more.

Moneyball does not represent the entirety of baseball. The Artist doesn’t represent the breadth of cinema. The Descendants in no way codifies the culture of Hawaii. Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close can’t even begin to cover the impact of the 9/11 tragedy. Why then does anyone fear that The Help will be mistaken as all-encompassing of the Civil Rights era?

It’s unlikely any of you would have heard *note one* from [the @Kleptones] if such laws had existed six or seven years ago.

…and they aren’t even from the US.

All of my sites will be on SOPA/PIPA strike just like Hectic City » Blog Archiv » On strike.

Three things about the Iowa Republican Caucus: Only an additional 3% of voters showed up compared to the 2008 Caucus*, which somewhat deflates the media’s rabble-rousing about how fired up the GOP base is to defeat Obama. (Credit to @RealJohnGreen for pointing that out.) Buddy Roemer is running for President?!? He’s a former US Congressman and Louisiana Governor. As a teenager I bought a pair of black and shiny metallic checkerboard hi-top converse at a garage sale supporting his campaign. Buddy Roemer is now a Republican?!? I haven’t followed Louisiana politics much since I left the state, but I would offer Roemer as a decent candidate no matter what his party affiliation is these days. * Caucus numbers from NYTimes and AP via Google.

I resisted reblogging this the first time I saw it on my dash. I won’t do it the second time.

Where are the straps from her tank top in the first two gifs? 

In the commercial she’s imagining(hallucinating) the blue bird and that she’s wearing a strapless blue ball gown. In the real world, she’s just wearing pajama bottoms and a tank top.

Looking at these images from Amélie, I think it might be fun to have it redone in 3D but flattened and cut-out like a ViewMaster.*

Hipolito; Without you, today’s emotions would be the scurf of yesterday’s.

It sort of blows my mind that a show as gay-friendly as Glee has slash fiction, and the way it’s being crafted on Tumblr is fabulously modern.

yeah, watching both Robyn v SNL simultaneously is the best.

BNAT 13 (Wolf) Wrap-Up

Thanks to @HeadGeek666 for inviting Becky and I to his 24-hour birthday movie marathon, once more. I’m not saying it’s our last one, but next year we hope to be managing a 5 month old at this time. We’ll probably be practiced up on sleep deprivation, but it would be odd if we both skipped out for a dozen movies in a row. We’ll tackle that as we come to it, but here’s a summary of this year’s selections including (35mm trailers), [special BNAT video intros] and Q&As.)
