Saw X-Men: First Class this afternoon. Liked the character bits, was less impressed by the plot, particularly all the events, friendships, etc. being compressed into about a week and all the flashy anachronistic equipment just being given to people rather than being painstakingly developed over time by those who would actually be able to test the underlying principles. (Seriously, how do you build psi-enhancing or -blocking devices if you don't have proof of psychic powers actually existing, let alone any way to actually measure them?)
Also, Professor X and Magneto were less obviously slashy than I'd been led to believe. Though perhaps Supernatural has skewed my baseline on this front.
My drop everything movies are all over the map. All About Eve, Real Genius, Singing in the Rain, Ghostbusters, Bridget Jones Diary, Wizard of Oz, Philadelphia Story...and a lot more.
WATCHPONIES
A Watchmen/My Little Pony mashup. They also have links to Inglorious Ponies, 300 Ponies, etc.
A Watchmen/My Little Pony mashup.
My friends told me tonight that My Little Pony is this big fandom for guys, nicknamed "Bronies" (bros + ponies). Can this be true?
Drop everything: My Beautiful Laundrette
I have heard a little bit about the My Little Pony vidding thing, mostly in the context of how people think, yet again, that men have invented the wheel (vids, in this case).
I've also heard a bit about the new My Little Pony show. It sounds...interesting.
I am mystified as to the Bronies thing. Not that dudes can't be fannish, but...My Little Pony?

I've heard this as well.
Perhaps I could be a Bronie. I mean, if I was really stoned.
Drop everything: My Beautiful Laundrette
That reminds me - I must buy this on Blueray.
OK, favorite gay '80s movies?
Besides
My Beautiful Laundrette,
I'd have
Parting Glances
and
Prick Up Your Ears
on my list. And maybe
Longtime Companion.
Any others I've forgotten? I suppose
Withnail and I
counts, at least in my head.
