tealeaves asked: what do you make of the recent...
neil-gaiman:
I was once interviewed by The Scotsman about Tim Hunter from Books of Magic and his resemblance to Harry Potter, and I spent the whole of the interview explaining that I didn’t think that Rowling had ever read Books of Magic and that the things they had in common (bespectacled English dark haired kids with magical ability, owls etc) were coincidence.
And I remember being surprised...

Well, Dodo's rather annoying...
But that said, Doctor Who fans, if you haven;t watched any One then you’re really missing out.
The reconstructions are great to have on in the background while you work (it’s a lot like listening to an audio adventure, but with still pictures…and the occasional bit of video)…crackly audio aside on a couple of them…and when you hit a serial that still exists,...
Eleven famous writers who were turned down before...
like-a-ribbon-in-a-hurricane:
baby-blazee:
Madeline L’Engle’s book, A Wrinkle in Time, was turned down 29 times before she found a publisher.
C.S. Lewis received over 800 rejections before he sold a single piece of writing.
Margaret Mitchell’s Gone With the Wind was rejected by 25 publishers.
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was rejected 121 times.
Johathan Livingston Seagull was...
So I'm stressed because I'm trying to meet and...
…and watching reconstructed episodes of Doctor Who with the First Doctor while I work…
…but the soundtrack is so very crackly…
…and I’m just argh…
…asdfghjkl…
The entire synopsis of Breaking Dawn Pt 1...
everything is so awkward and forced
oh god
sexy time
they are taking turns eyeing the bed
they are going skinny dipping
I think the presex montage just happened
she like...shaved her legs and shit
who doesn't do that before they leave for their honeymoon?!
come ON
oh jesus
BROKEN HEADBOARD
HAHA
we are halfway through this film and NOTHING HAS HAPPENED
they got married and had sex
literally not a thing else
they're now playing chess
fucking hell
she keeps trying to seduce him and he's laughing at her WORST MARRIAGE
oooh playing chess again!
AND AGAIN
they just had a montage of their honeymoon and all that happened is thye played a lot of chess, she tried to fuck him and he ran away
oh god she's begging now
this is honestly awkward softcore porn
and now she's vomiting into the toilet
gross
god seriously
nothing happens in this god
it's just a bunch of shitty subplots
the wolves are so shit
shit
lsbgksdg
THIS IS SO BAD
weird ass telepathic wolf pow wow shit
I don't even know what's going on
THE FETUS ISN'T COMPATIBLE
I'm really glad that in Twilight world, they make skinny jeans that fit over evil fetus baby bumps
oh god Bella's drinking blood
I'm taking a shot
the cup says FREE REFILLS ON IT
Bella just chose "renesmee" for the baby's name and this child will be beat up for the rest of it's life
OH MY GOD SHE IS GIVING BIRTH WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
"GET HIM OUT OF ME"
loads of screaming and flashing and she looks like a skeleton
aaaand Edward ripped open her stomach with his mouth
YUP GOOD
the baby is a bloody mess and they just called it beautiful. I mean, I don't really do babies, but like...I'm pretty sure that just looks like meat
there is just blood everywhere and edward just stabbed her in the heart with his venom and what the HELL
Bella seems to have died, but Edward is just biting her everywhere and OH HOLY GOD IT'S SCIENCE
HER BLOOD IS FREEZING
the worst thing? Kristen Stewart's face hasn't changed.
she just gave birth and then died
without a flicker of emotion
Jacob has just seen the baby and he's in lo0o0o0ove
this is the creepiest scene ever
he just fell to his knees in front of a baby
I just want to be a fly on the wall during this filming
uh oh vampire v wolf death match
oh jk rules and shit
wolf can't harm future lovers of other wolves
so much for bros before hoes, shit
meanwhile, Bella is serving her purpose well. laying on a table with the occasional SCIENCE into her body
she's becoming a vampire, which apparently includes permanent eyeshadow. so, that makes life easier.
you know how on tumblr, they have those picture sequences where it slowly gets closer to someones face?
that was just an actual shot in Breaking Dawn
jacob, Jacob, JACOB
AND THEN HAWT VAMPY BELLA OPENED HER EYES WITH MIRACULOUSLY NEWLY LONG EYELASHES AND THE FILM ENDED
TO CHEERS
I require the last two hours of my life back
who do I go for for that

By the numbers:
think-progress:
Republicans are willing to raise taxes on more than 100 million Americans
… to spare 345,000 millionaires from a tiny surtax.
Something doesn’t add up.
Looking at the Script Frenzy website...
…the aim of which is to write a 100 page script during the thirty days of April.
Which works out at 3.33 pages of script a day.
Which should be easy…I mean, when I’m writing I can easily write more than three pages a day. Heck, I can bash bash out three pages of script in no time.
Which rather begs the question - why am I not producing 100 pages of script every month?

It really pisses me off...
…when David Cameron attacks the Labour Party for being partially funded by the trade unions.
That would be the trade unions that were set up to represent the interests of millions of ordinary working people in this country. Who have, since they were formed, fought tirelessly for better pay and safer working conditions for people across the length and breadth of the UK.
And who funds the...

The myth of "unaffordable" public sector pensions. →
As the Public Accounts Committee observed: “Officials appeared to define affordability on the basis of public perception rather than judgement on the cost in relation to either GDP or total public spending.” In other words, the public have been misled and ministers are determined to keep misleading them.

Why are you watching it? You clearly all hate it. I mean, seriously, I see your posts…you hate the show…with a passion. Every week you get…so…very…angry…
