Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Yes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I tried to watch her in a movie with Luke from The OC and it was an in-universe and meta tranwreck.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I am trying desperately to ignore all her issues because What A Girl Wants is totally one of my junky-comfort-food movies (tame teen romance! pretty dresses! Pride and Prejudice in-jokes! Colin Firth barefoot in leather pants dancing in front of a mirror!), but meta distress over her current state will probably kill it for me.

Because books.
Yeah, catching The Amanda Show is distressing. I don't know what happened there.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Pacific Rim was super cheesy and lots of it didn't make sense but there were GIANT ROBOTS FIGHTING GIANT MONSTERS so that was fun.
I highly recommend seeing it in IMAX if possible because it makes everything SO BIG. You really get a sense of how frickin' huge these things are.

Interview with the the dude who wrote Sharknado (his first name is THUNDER, fer serious): [link]
How are the sharks cognizant enough to keep biting people while they're flying through the air?
If you were a shark and you found yourself flying through the air, wouldn’t you keep biting? I think you’d be pretty pissed about being plucked out of your nice familiar ocean where you’re king of the predators, and you’d probably take it out on whoever got in your way. Honestly, I don’t understand why people are so perplexed by this concept. The logic is undeniable.
How many sharks does an average sharknado contain? How many sharks are ejected per 5-minute period?
I can’t count that high.

I've spoken to Lionsgate employees and they were very friendly and enthusiastic in their support of All Over the Guy about 13 years ago. Still not going to spend a single penny on an Orson Scott Card project unless they can prove to me that he won't benefit from it, but I'll most likely check out their next movie as long as it's not adapting the work of a hatemongering bigot.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
We just came back from Pacific Rim. I loved that film. Much more enjoyable and a better film than any of the action films we have seen this summer: IM3, STID, & MOS. I'm serious. Idris Elba (Don't Fuck with Stringer Bell) and Rinko Kikuchi were absolutely fabulous in this movie. The dialogue at times was pretty middling, but man they sure carried all of it off and then some.
Of the action movies I have seen this summer, it was the only one that didn't bore me and held my attention the entire time. I liked the beginning ~2 minutes of the film that gave the backstory. It was brisk, well done, and I followed it.
Sure there were times of unbelievability, but it's an action movie, so I am happy to hand wave. I need a movie to give me a good excuse to hand wave. I also liked being surprised here and there - which many of the other movies didn't really do for me. My fave of the summer so far. Hands down. "The East" was previously my favorite, but the latter third of the movie is so bad that it marred it for real.
