The 15 Dumbest Superhero Retcons Of All Time.
Top 10 fantasy novels that haven’t been made into movies (but should be). Good Omens is on the list.
From Cracked: 5 Horrific Ways Your Brain Can Turn On You Without Warning.
Edward Woodward has passed away, at the age of 79. May he rest in peace. At first, I thought he played Watson in the Jeremy Brett version of Sherlock Holmes—but no. I was mixing him up with Edward Hardwicke. He played Sherlock Holmes in Hands of a Murderer, which is one Sherlock Holmes movie I have been trying to track down for years, without success.
Going by what I’ve read on Io9, a three-minute clip from the next episode of Doctor Who will air on Friday, as part of the BBC’s Children in Need. Before clicking on the link that mentions it, just know that there are major casting spoilers (and a vague sort of spoiler from RTD) for who is showing up in End of Time, if you’re avoiding those. And for anyone out there that hasn’t seen the trailer for End of Time, you can watch it here.
I’m good with Joanna being sent home on Dancing With The Stars. With Joanna, it always seemed like there wasn’t any (or wasn’t very much, if there was) emotion in her dances. I’ve heard mentions that her feet weren’t quite right in the dancing, and she could have benefited from a bit of ballet, and I think I agree. With her last dance right before the credits, the version of Hallelujah played sounded so familiar, and was driving me nuts (along with Mom, since she recognized it, too) as I tried to place it.

dwts said it was played during Shrek, so that’s where we’ve heard it before.
Of the ones left, I prefer Kelly Osborne, since she seems to have grown the most. If not her, then Donny Osmond. It might just be me, but it seems Mya really hasn’t changed skill-wise from week to week.
And in Yuletide related news, I suddenly had an idea, and now I know exactly what I’m going to be writing in the fandom I was assigned. I’ve already written down a bit of a plot outline, and I’ll finish it up later. Just need to think of a title, and a few more details, and I’ll get started on the writing itself.
