In which I discuss a possible Man of Steel spoiler

It really depends on your definition of a spoiler. Plus it’s in magazines and stuff? But still, if you want to be 100% surprised, maybe you shouldn’t

Just going to spoil it for everyone. Jimmy Olsen is Jenny Olsen and no one should care. Seriously, this movie is not going to have Superman’s Pal grow so huge she needs to be removed from the Earth. It is not going to have her temporarily be a Nazi. She is not going to ruin a Superman video game by making you play as Mon-El and save the planet from hypnosis. So it’s barely Olsen we’re talking about here, male or female. It’s someone with a camera who will at some point say “It’s Superman!” So shut yer pie-holes.

Most points stolen from Benito Coolman.

apparently fox news specified for their confused viewers at home that “chechens are not caucasian”, which is perhaps the most succinct summary of why it’s a stupid term I have ever seen in my life

“Orphan Black is so good, British TV > American TV”

theworldweare:

theworldweare:

Orphan Black is Canadian.

Yes it is filmed in Canada. However it’s produced by BBC America.

…It’s produced by Temple Street Productions, a Toronto company, and distributed by Space (in Canada) and the BBC in the States and worldwide (and jointly funded by the three). It was originally developed at the Canadian Film Centre and commissioned by Bell Media. It’s filmed in Canada, with Canadian executive producers from shows like Being Erica, Canadian actors…

Orphan Black is so Canadian that when I watch it, I feel like I’m inside a Tim Hortons watching a hockey game on a television made of out maple bark.

Also all the production stuff. Don’t forget Intelligent Creatures, the Toronto special effects studio which does all the scenes of Tatiana staring at herself.

Stories We Tell Review

Every family has at least one story to tell. Whether it’s the immigrant story or a historical legend or the adventures of that one weird uncle, there’s always some labyrinthine mixture of truth and fantasy that entrenches a family’s history. Stories We Tell is a documentary about one humble tale. Directed by critically-acclaimed filmmaker Sarah Polley, the film delves into her parents’life and her upbringing, spiraling into rumours of infidelity and her heritage. It’s a marvellously self-indulgent film, but one that is a delight to watch.

Stories We Tell starts with candid moments with each member of Sarah’s family. They all question her approach, why the movie is being made and give some pretext to the dialogue between the documentary’s creator and her subjects. Sarah then delves into her parents’ relationship, focusing on her mother’s side. Her mother is long dead and as a result, much of the movie is about her absence. The movie is constructed so that it appears as if we have almost every piece of the truth, we’re just missing her own perspective. That absence leads to the greatest mystery of the film, her mother’s trip to Montreal to act in the play, Toronto, in the late 1970s.

Looks like this is a going to be another late week. Vivi’s got an essay and we’re all out of reserves. Sorry to all five of you who read this comic!

I can’t guarantee we’ll never be late again. This is crunch time for the both of us. In fact right now she’s jumping between essay readings and final details, like a university-educated jackrabbit. Meanwhile I’m writing up a rant for my radio class about our extremely respectable and intelligent mayor and trying to study for a history exam.

So here’s a WIP! Or if you’re bored, check out Notes from Forgotten Places a blog very closely related to the main series. Click click click clickclick. Not the last one. Only single clicks required.
