-- Bravo isn't airing the 100 Scariest Movie Moments this year. They're killing my dreeeeaaaams. (Instead, we get 13 Horror Movie Moments That Might Have Made The Original List If They'd Been Released At The Time, Except They Weren't, And They Probably Wouldn't Have Anyway. Yuck.)

-- Crash director Paul Haggis resigns from the Church of Scientology over gay rights. Go, Paul Haggis!

I know, right? Between that and the abuse of auto-tune, I'm about done with Glee.

Oh, my God, you know that fandoms-as-boyfriends meme? This is SUCH an abusive relationship I'm in with this show. I hate, like, five thousand things about what the show's doing. I hate the pregnancy storyline, I hate that only Finn gets to lead, I hate that they keep flinging Artie and his chair around, I hate that they're stooping to two entirely different love triangles (which as far as I'm concerned is two too many), I hate that the minorities-don't-get-to-do-shit plotline didn't even teach the writers a lesson, AND YET I'm still watching. Because there's some part of me that still likes it.

Dude, I don't even KNOW.

I've been a stone fan of Paul Haggis since Due South (not so much some of his more recent work, but still aware of what a fine director he is) and it pained me so much to hear that he was a Scientologist a couple of years ago that I said to ComicbookMan, "I would rather have learned he sticks beans up his nose than found that out."

Rachel doesn't come across as manipulative? What show are YOU watching?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there's a couple of sour notes in that article, and that's one of them. She's notorious for storming out of practices because she didn't get her way, for heaven's sake.

I went to college in Cullowhee, NC. I didn't know they already had the body farm- that's pretty sweet! :D
Also, xkcd wins today.

On the "20 Websites" list I lost it when I got to #9, the "O. Cromwell factor". Seriously lost it. That should've been higher up the list for the combo of being hilarious and actually kind of accurate.

Ahghghghgh the one about the cell phone train accident has haunted me since I read about it a while back x_x

On the one hand, good for you Paul Haggis. On the other, WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU DOING PARTICIPATING IN THAT CREEPY CULT IN THE FIRST PLACE?!? *shudders*
