Finally saw Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog the other day.
It was cute; any idea what they’re going to do for the sequel?

history meme / two natural disasters / mount vesuvius eruption buries pompeiiMount Vesuvius, a volcano near the Bay of Naples in Italy, is hundreds of thousands of years old and has erupted more than 50 times. Its most famous eruption took place in the year 79 A.D., when the volcano buried the ancient Roman city of Pompeii under a thick carpet of volcanic ash. The dust “poured across the land” like a flood, one witness wrote, and shrouded the city in “a darkness…like the black of closed and unlighted rooms.” Two thousand people died, and the city was abandoned for almost as many years. When a group of explorers rediscovered the site in 1748, they were surprised to find that—underneath a thick layer of dust and debris—Pompeii was mostly intact. The buildings, artifacts and skeletons left behind in the buried city have taught us a great deal about everyday life in the ancient world. [+more]

Please grant me the Serenity to know
that Firefly is over,
The Courage to watch the movie
and persist in the fandom,
and the Wisdom that just because Firefly is over,
does not mean that I will never find a magnificent show again.
… Actually, just give me Serenity.
And maybe Shepard or Zoë.
Yeah, that would be great.

I like how there’s just two pictures of Jack Sparrow
I was going to just like this but then there was Jack Sparrow. Twice.

Humorously done but it brings up a very good point about the song. (And I like how the guys immediately reacted, “Wow, dude, that’s not okay.”)
Seriously, even as like a ten year old I knew that line was just wrong.
I like how they beat the shit out of the rapist at the end. We need more humor on the side against rape like this video.JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I COULDN’T LOVE COLLEGE HUMOR ANYMORE THAN I ALREADY DO.
I remember watching Grease when I was younger and I couldn’t put my finger on it but something felt wrong and when I said I didn’t like the movie everyone gave me a hard time… just because it’s classic doesn’t mean everything in it was okay.
I’m not saying it’s ok but sort of the point of Grease is that it reflects the time. Like it or not, that’s what a lot of guys then were like - especially guys like Danny. I think the whole film is making a point about how wrong things were - for example the fact that Danny will only really like Sandy if she changes. The whole film is supposed to be immoral and wrong and by putting it in a film and showing kids how much of an idiot Danny is it subtly shows them that it’s wrong. The fact that Sandy is so upset by his frankly appalling behaviour to her lets kids know that what he’s dong is wrong. I think it’s purposeful.
I disagree. I studied media at A Level, and a MASSIVE consideration when choosing which rating to give a film is whether they think a younger audience will understand the intended meaning of the film. If that was the intended meaning, I certainly didn’t understand it, and what’s worse, neither did my aunt. She showed it to me when I was about 11 (the rating is a 12 in England, but I’ve always been quite intellectually mature for my age so she decided it was fine), and at the end I asked ‘Why did she change? She was fine before. I wouldn’t have changed’ and my aunt LAUGHED and said ‘one day you’ll meet a man you’ll be willing to change for.’ At the time, I just thought ‘I doubt that’ and nothing more. Now, I realise what a terrible thing that was to say. I don’t intend to change for anyone, and particularly not for a man, but because of this film, I presumed that was what women did. If its intended meaning was to illustrate that what Danny did was wrong, it should either have had a very different ending or a much higher rating, if you ask me.
