I'd love to know how old the person that made it was.
The website? She's 18.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

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

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

Which website? I meant the tumblr post. I'm at her tumblr, and I don't see her age there. Where are you seeing it?
Though it appears it's not about her fandoms, so it's not as relevant. I guess it's kinda random.

Oops, I was just looking at the tumblr post you linked to, not the tumblr post of the person who made it.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
You NCistas know there's a school near...Apex? I think? for Japanese archery, right? The art of Kyudo is more akin to longbow than the compound stuff bowhunters use these days.
Oooooooooh. Hmmmm. Not . . . this month, anyway. But I'm gonna pinboard it. Thanks, Beverly!
I took archery my freshman year of college, and that was apparently one of the wettest springs the area had seen in decades. The field where we practiced was underwater as often as not. We spent a lot of time watching archery-related movies. I think I got a B just for showing up. So my knowledge of archery is mostly that you can't do it for gym credit while standing ankle deep in water. Or at least, UNC's lawyers don't want you to try.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
What is The FP?
It is a movie about a dystopian world where rival gangs battle for territory in grueling Dance Dance Revolution matches.
Seriously.

Thanks, P-C. I finally clicked on the article -- from what ita posted, I thought it was something I should have known. Not so much, it turns out.
It sounds like West Side Story on meth.

Wow. People are not just mad that she put Percy Jackson and Twilight on it (also Narnia, a bit), they're mad at her. Jeez. Just, you know, don't reblog. There's plenty of stuff I don't reblog because I don't totally like it, and mutter about it somewhere else, but to reblog and comment RIGHT THERE is horribly rude.
I hope no one is remaking the post without that row in it. But people are that rude.

For a film that demands two paragraphs of detailed plot description, one of the great virtues of “The Hunger Games” is that it leaves a hell of a lot of stuff unspoken. The dimensions of the world and the rules of the Games notwithstanding, the story occupies itself almost exclusively with Katniss’ interior life.
Among the movie’s only real shortcomings are its frenetic, handheld visual style, and its occasional (unexplained to rubes like yours truly) digressions to satiate fans of the source material.
Sounds promising!
100% on Rotten Tomatoes, 11 positive reviews.
As action, as allegory, as cinema, The Hunger Games is the best American science-fiction film since The Matrix.

Has anyone here seen Chasing Papi? Three women, initially antagonistic, discovering they have the same boyfriend, demonstrate that all feisty Latinas are the same at the core? It struck me as...ick. On one hand, great for 20th Century Fox to put money into a heavily Hispanic movie, but...couldn't they find a better script that wasn't so..."find your inner salsa"?
