Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
OMFG, Danziger verdicts in New Orleans are being read. So far, all officers have been found guilty of violating civil rights, consipracy, coverup, and shooting the folks on Danziger. Faulcon was found NOT guilty of murdering Ronald Madison. Still more to come.
Jebus.
Hey! We just got an email saying that we're getting a food truck that sells fish tacos here at lunch.
What else can I wish for?
Perkins, you could wish for the ice cream CoolHaus truck to be with them?
to see Cowboys & Aliens, otherwise known as "Daniel Craig in Cowboy Clothes Yes Indeed I Will Take a Big Helping Of That."
AKA "Harrison Ford is doing another Western, woot!" I so hope it doesn't suck. Or that it's at least entertaining suck. But Olivia Wilde is there as Obligatory Sex/Love Object/Female Distraction, so I'm leery. (Anymore, I'm all "What is that female doing there? Get her out of the way and let the guys snark at each other!")
Children's picture books that I always get for new parents:
Tuesday by David Weisner
The True Story of the Three Little Pigs by A. Wolf (actually, Jon Sciezka)
Neil deGrasse Tyson to host a sequel series to Cosmos. Produced by Seth McFarland, to air on Fox.
So much YAY! and WTF!? in one place.
Seth McFarland? Really?
...is it possible to work rape jokes into astrophysics?
(No, really. I HATE Seth McFarland with the white-hot fury I reserve for things like Magnolia and John Boehner.)
But Olivia Wilde is there as Obligatory Sex/Love Object/Female Distraction, so I'm leery.
Maybe she'll talk to another named female character about something other than men.
Thank you, Kathy.
"What is that female doing there? Get her out of the way and let the guys snark at each other!"
Wow, that's harsh. I don't even like Olivia Wilde and I think she had a perfectly reasonable place in the movie. Regardless of her gender.
I always admired Schwarzenegger's resistance to having anything sexual happen between his character and the woman in the first "Predator" movie. As I recall, it was something like, "There's something actively hunting them and trying to kill them, this isn't actually the time for sex!"
And I was sorry that "Doom" didn't get better play, because I was very pleased that the girl turned out to be the hero's sister, ie, instant believable interaction/backstory without trying to shoehorn some stupid relationship into it.
