Things are picking up around work, so, in lieu of a real post here are a few fun links:
Script Goddess has a great post about the little moments on set.
Did you know there was a terrorist attack in New York? In 1920? I heard about it from a Slate podcast.
While searching for some (innocent, I swear!) images, I stumbled across this page for Feminist Film Studies at the University of Minnesota. I love reading people over-analyzing images. The study of the pregnant woman is particularly amusing. The anonymous responses to this student are great, too.
Here’s a nerdy post about why modern video games are even harder than they look.
Economists can make anything sound boring.
Over at Variety, Brian Lowry claims that reality TV is getting stale. Cynthia Littleton thinks the same thing about scripted shows.
Lastly, a few fun TV tropes I recently discovered:
- Remember Encyclopedia Brown? Not as smart as you think.
- If someone calls you a “Christmas cake,” it’s an insult.
- On the other hand, “boobs of steel” is not.

Gosh thanks for the link!
I made fun of the feminist for writing such an ignorant post about Afghan women and burqas. Dumb bitch needs to shut her fucking ignorant, white, whiney, privileged, feminist-wannabe Western mouth. Sorry, but I just had to say it!!!
