Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Colin Farrell?

YES! Eyebrow man! So maybe Clive Owen's eyebrows at Fashion Week were normal, after all.

Yeah, Clive's eyebrows are usually pretty groomed. Maggie is pretty hot in those pics.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Those are definitely not handcuffs. Deliberately not.

Weirdos.

However, I need a world where I can look at her and Clive Owen. Let this never be a world without that.

We do Crow Pose sometimes in warmup. By "we" I mean "people who aren't me--you crazy???"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Those are definitely not handcuffs. Deliberately not.

I had to look really close. Looks like there's something metallic in the part that wraps around the wrist. I was thinking maybe they're metal handcuffs with a cord lining, with cords hanging from them. But probably not.

Keep looking, tommyrot. You'll figure it out eventually.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

See, I don't like that pic, because the plain black bra stands out, as does that weird-ass belly corset. But I'm grumpy like that.

That belt is pretty weird. But I love the expression on her face. I don't like the one where she's wearing underwear into the bathtub. That's just odd.

Gotta say, Agent Provocateur has put a lot of unembellished lingerie out in this shoot. Which I tend to like more, but I'd gotten used to being an outlier on that topic.

Report of Pete Wentz's Fashion Week party. I particularly like the description of Wentz as "a lemur in heavy eye makeup". SO CUTE.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Current favorite headline on CNN:

Aides: Craig was going to leave Senate, anyway

So there.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Aides: Craig was going to leave Senate, anyway

Lincoln was going to leave the theatre anyway, but he sure as shit wasn't expecting to leave with a hole in his head.
