batik96:

I was going to try to point out the one frame that made me reblog this, but there’s something about each of them … that look of “I’m amused and am just going to sit back and watch you squirm your way out of this one” in the first. The eyebrows in the second. The laugh/smile in the third. Even the blink in the fourth.

I really, really need to watch fortysomething

Dear Benedict Cumberbatch,

I cannot with your face (I mean really how do you even).

Sincerely,

ProvidentSparrow

buzz-studios:

Book recover contest held by Bobby Solomon over at the Fox is Black. This is one of my entries for The Hobbit. I went for a simple but tactile feel, I wanted to design a book that begs to have its pages turned and have its cover rolled back.

A few days ago, I received an email from P. F. Kluge, my fiction writing professor from Kenyon College, saying, “Drop everything and read How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia.”

So I did, and what a book. Brilliant and ruthless. Don’t miss it.

The Fault in Our Stars has a director :

fishingboatproceeds:

I like Josh Boone so much, and I think he is the perfect director for TFiOS. He understands the book profoundly (as you can tell from his comments in the story above), and he is also tremendously talented. I am so excited!

I love Clara Bow so so much. I want to go back in time just so I can get drunk with her and friendly grope her.

Watch the trailer for ‘I Am Divine’, the biopic of the drag icon

I Am Divine is the story of Divine, aka Harris Glenn Milstead, from his humble beginnings as an overweight, teased Baltimore youth to internationally recognized drag superstar through his collaboration with filmmaker John Waters. Spitting in the face of the status quos of body image, gender identity, sexuality, and preconceived notions of beauty, Divine was the ultimate outsider turned underground royalty. With a completely committed in-your-face style, he blurred the line between performer and personality, and revolutionized pop culture. I Am Divine is a definitive biographical portrait that charts the legendary icon’s rise to infamy and emotional complexities.

Holy shit women on fire. This video gave me chills. If you do nothing at all today - watch this!

"[S]omehow in culture, “lowest common denominator” has become a way to describe not what’s unifying..."

Thu, 14 Feb 2013 02:03:03 -0500

“[S]omehow in culture, “lowest common denominator” has become a way to describe not what’s unifying but what’s worst, as if we all come together where we are awful and stupid. In fact, when we do all come together in large numbers, it’s usually not where we are awful and stupid, particularly not because we are awful and stupid.”

- This NPR story by Linda Holmes about coastal snobbery and “the masses” appeals to me not just because the vilification of roughly half the country by the other half is both A) a bad thing and B) a two-way street that each half pretends is one-sided, but because I always thought the best things about our culture were the things we mostly agreed upon.

I will probably end up just repeating what Linda Holmes said in her very smart piece if I type for too long, but to make it clear: The things in America that everyone likes are not Honey Boo Boo and Taylor Swift and whatever-else thing you think is destroying our culture. Those things are actually deeply contentious. Stuff that everybody likes? Prince. Star Wars. Pizza. “Call Me Maybe.” Lost, in its early seasons. Willie Nelson, if you live in Texas. Stuff that is good, in other words.

The zeitgeist is usually about stuff that is pretty good, but not terribly idiosyncratic. It’s the height of arrogance to argue that things that very specifically appeal to our particular idiosyncrasies are actually the best stuff, and that people who don’t share them are foolish. You love those things more because they speak to a part of you that other people don’t seem to have. That’s the only real difference between what you love and what everybody loves.
