selenakShakespeare:
There are many reviews of the Joss Whedon directed Much Ado About Nothing out by now - which we in Germany won't get to see for a while, hmph - but this is by far the most original and hilarious. In blank verse.
Hobbit:
We have a first trailer for the Desolation of Smaug. Comes with a lot of elves (Lee Pace has lines this time) and partial Smaug (but not voice of same). As I am not a Tolkien purist and enjoyed the first Hobbit film muchly, I am delighted.
Once Upon A Time:
Now has a rewatch community, starting their rewatch this weekend. Alas I will go abroad at the end of next week, for three weeks, no less, but I'll be able to discuss the pilot at least and then rejoin in a month.
That Sixties band I'm fond of:
Listen to John Lennon doing a hilarious Bob Dylan parody. (Bob did a Lennon parody, too, so you don't have to feel bad for him.:)
Orphan Black:
Naturally, I checked out the AO3 for fanfic. In additon to canonical Cosima/Delphine there's fanonical Alison/Beth; these seem to be the main pairings. As with every fandom, little gen. Here are the two vignettes I liked best so far:
Nameless : short but dense moment between Helena, Sarah and Mrs. S. Breaks one's heart for Helena all over again.
of lending existence to nothing : Alison portrait. Very bleak, but well written.

Date: 2013-06-12 05:44 pm (UTC)Which reminded me that I wanted to dig up the source of the article I may have mentioned (when Lennon-McCartney were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the announcement in the paper referred to them as having been in a band); it's probably not findable on-line (1987 is another country), but I've had two hours of fun with databases, websites, and the sheer number of things search engines don't eliminate even with tightened search terms.
Thanks!
