Finally watched A Wrinkle in Time - and I'm so very pleased I did. (It had that sense of a film I'd like, going just by the trailer. I missed its big screen debut, so simply pre-ordered it unseen)

It's a story with such *love*, imagination, and scope. It does lack the cynicism a lot of people equate with authenticity and plausibility, but I respect it all the more for what a positive tale it is. ^_^

Finally, they've been reduced in price again - TRON and TRON: Legacy are $10 each on iTunes, including extras. Both duly snagged. ^_^

And I see there does exist a US BluRay of Tank Girl *with plenty of extras*.. I may have to seek out a copy. I don't get why they turned Booga into such a doofus, but so much else, the film *nailed* about the spirit of the comics, even down to the soundtrack. (DYK: the director eventually returned to the profession with some recent Doctor Who episodes)

Automated memebots, anyone?

"We introduce a novel meme generation system, which given any image can produce a humorous and relevant caption."

As a professional leporine, I would be quite remiss to not also make note of their "Kishi Kaisei", with a most wonderfully plush and sparkly video:

Mmm, that turned out well. ^_^

Started off with a supermarket "ham & mascarpone" with mushrooms, boosted with ground black pepper, rosemary, basil, a little garlic paste, and dots of tomato paste. Toward the end of cooking, a final addition of some king prawns briefly coated in lemon juice & oyster sauce.

Best of all, I've still got half of it left for tomorrow. =:9

Ought to be interesting; it's based on (then) pre-teen reporter Hilde Lysiak's work:

"The series follows a young girl who moves from Brooklyn to the small lakeside town her father left behind. While there, her dogged pursuit of the truth leads her to unearth a cold case that everyone in town, including her own father, tried hard to bury."

A significant legal case for trans rights is set to get underway in the UK, with a trans woman, Tara Hudson, suing the Ministry of Justice for being sent to a male prison, despite being clearly a woman:

Bonus asshole points to the MoJ for asserting she is "as a matter of biological fact a man".

I /do/ like AS' title for their look at Ocean's 8. ^_^

(I'll have to wait a week or so until I can see it)

I don't know that I feel very much "at home" where I currently live, but, it /was/ quite gratifying to find a couple hundred other folk present in the auditorium, having paid to be present at a talk given by a prominent biologist/geneticist with a good insight into neuroscience.

(And what a talk it was. Not merely on how amazing brains are, but how remarkably social we are, even from a very young age. He was quite firm on the point that educational policy ought to favor preschool/primary)

Purely hypothetically speaking, who might you want to see in your dream live action adaptation of Questionable Content?

(I'd be terrible - or very good - at being a billionaire: I'd spend it all on making films Hollywood could never be arsed to try =:)
