I am ready to talk about Snowpiercer now. (folds hands, waits for you)
You are probably familiar with my thoughts on Cameron Todd Willingham, the innocent man murdered by the state of Texas in 2004. Well, look here, more evidence that he was sent to his death by a ruthless and evil district attorney and a rich backer.
AHP has watched Outlander and is into it. And a thousand women whisper awkwardly: “but are they gonna do THAT SCENE? You know what I’m talking about!” (Also, I know like six Famous Internet Feminists who are quietly ride-or-die for Outlander and am interested to see how this all goes!) THAT SCENE never gave me pause, honestly, because I’m pretty “oh, smut, the heart wants what it wants, life is a rich tapestry, nokidsnoanimals” but I get it.

who would talk to someone on a plane, come on now (I also don’t believe in reclining unless it is a redeye and I am an Aisle Person, please feel free to share your flying philosophy)

On the experience of watching Howard the Duck for the first time.
I turned down a perfectly good pitch about Lev Grossman’s The Magicians trilogy because we do not run essays about new books by male authors, but I’m happy to link to them! Also, I really enjoy how Choire writes about books:
Yes, it’s a monarchy. What’s worse than a monarchy? Oh, right, a false monarchy that’s actually ruled by two stupid god-sheep who are just phenomenal assholes.
…
How should we judge a trilogy? Let’s say you get three magic questions, which is always the kind of dumb jerk thing that happens in a magical land. How about: Are these people still actually behaving like themselves—or at least like people—throughout? Am I satisfied? And, hmm: Is this world complete?
Marissa Maciel made Mallory and I cowgirls.
