Happiness for the fannish mind

Because I'm not all doom and gloom, not I. :)



Spot and Data centric TNG comic: I think if I try really hard, I can still recite a few lines from Data's "Ode to Spot". Anyway, this is a delightful treat for cat lovers and TNG fans alike.

Peter Capaldi reads "The Magic Wood" by Henry Treece. Put up by the BBC, which means it won't be there endlessly, so check it out now and enjoy.

I knew LMM was great, but I was surprised at how really good Emily Blunt was. I get a little tired of Corden's try-hard "I've ruined it haven't I" schtick but he's really good too. Did you see the Sound of Music crosswalk one with Alison Janney (sp)?

[selenak]

No, and Alison Janney is a powerful inducement, but, you know, I must confess I've never watched Sound of Music to this day, for reasons indicated here, and thus the only fictionalized Trapps I'm familiar with are those guys.

History Spork! Oh, they were amazing. -- God, SoM was one of my parents' FAVOURITE musicals. I think they showed it to me three or four times before I was old enough to rebel. I can still sing along with a lot of it, which horrifies me.

I don't think you really need to know the musical to enjoy the sidewalk spoof, if you want to see it -- I mainly really love the faceoff between the two of them, it's very hilariously 'Theatre.' Janney is amazing.

OMG, and then in the suggested videos right next to it was Thor: Ragnarok in 4-D, which made me laugh so hard I cried the first time I saw it.

Apparently the audience had NO idea what was going to happen, which makes it even better.
