What decade do you wish you lived in?
Easy. I wish I was the age I am now but in the 70s. Which actually lines up with my mom’s timeline almost exactly.
I am working on a film about a big annual event that happened here every year in the 70s and the stories I am hearing about the time coupled with the event video I am editing together are making me insanely jealous. The seventies...

Jurassic Park
mollylambert:
I’m watching Jurassic Park, which still has the most seamlessly realistic CGI of any movie to date. Which is getting embarrassing, since it was made in 1993. I said, “You can still tell what is computer-animated and what is a puppet but it is edited so well that you can just accept that there are fucking DINOSAURS”
In the words of This Recording columnist and bloggeuress Sarah...

I’d really really really like to get a personalized copy of Fight Club or Pygmy.
I have a personalized copies of Invisible Monsters & Fugitives and Refugees - well technically F&R is personalized to an ex, but it was my book so whatever.
Palahniuk seems to always be down for signing just about anything at appearances and readings. He makes great small talk too, when we got...
Sometimes you just need a WTF??? moment
and for that reason I am glad that Nip/Tuck exists.
Because seriously, this shit is insane.

Does having Keifer Sutherland as the voiceover in the commercial convince “24” fans to bank at Bank of America? I mean really, is it that enticing? Is someone sitting at home going, “Honey, Jack Bauer uses Bank of America. Maybe we should switch.”
Someone should do a study on this.
Some people are just that moronic. I prefer the commercials that use Peter Coyote,...
America's Illegal Drug Capitals →
There are seven listed. I live in one.
We have the “highest rate of illicit drug use” apparently with “13.8% of households … [reporting] using illicit drugs in the prior 30-day period.”
While meth is sometimes a problem here (some of you from out of state have surely seen the Montana Meth Project ads) , I suspect that this number is really just a lot of people...

This moment came out of nowhere, and made me laugh out loud. Love this gif.
YES!! I was waiting for someone to make that into a gif. Yay internet!

Confession
nashvilleneedsmoremetaphors:
I have never read Grapes of Wrath. I know everyone says it’s his masterpiece, but I suppose I’ve been saving it. Either that or I never got around to it. My favorite book is of mice and men, though I wasn’t too keen on Tortilla Flat and was only luke warm on Travels with Charlie (hit and miss). Anyway I’m holding GoW in my hand now so its off to bed…and the dust...

get nominated for Tropic Thunder?
That movie sucked and his performance wasn’t bad, but certainly not Oscar-worthy.
Hollywood loves a redemption story and RDJ’s got one in spades. He’s in the midst of a tremendous comeback and he had a great year (2 well-reviewed films in the top 20 highest grossing of 2008).
His role in Tropic Thunder was probably one of the...
Kurt Vonnegut's 8 rules for writing fiction.
electricpencils:noahkai:fantasyaction:diamonds-n-rubies:kyndollwood:
Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.
Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.
Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.
Every sentence must do one of two things — reveal character or advance the...

How many people do you follow?
embarrassed to say.. eight
Don’t be embarrassed by that. I follow like 23, I think. I can’t even grasp people that follow hundreds.
Kind of honored that I’m one of eight.
Thirty, and a few of those are no longer on Tumblr, so probably 25. Hundreds is too much for me.
Oh dear, I follow...
