‘The Hobbit 3′ Scheduled For July 18, 2014 |... →
popculturebrain:
Furthermore the 2nd movie has a new title, as does the third. They breakdown as follows:
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - Dec 14, 2012
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - Dec 13, 2013
The Hobbit: There and Back Again - July 18, 2014
So, I just thumbed through my 1997 Houghton Mifflin edition of The Hobbit, and it would appear that the first movie covers pages 1-181,...

semperidem replied to your post: It’s really hit me this week that I’m almost 30.
What do you expect happens in 28 months?
A beautiful transformation in which I am no longer a child, but an adult woman. I will wear lovely dresses that show off my suddenly toned arms and I will be able to walk in high heels without twisting my ankle. I will have an actual career writing for money and I...

There is a bewildering agony in seeing a work of art by a woman that is so blatantly hurtful against all women and being unable to directly publicly comment on it because that would be interpreted as you being hurtful against another woman.

I wrote this! Calling all trolls!
Really good skim (I only skimmed cause I didn’t want super detailed spoilers, just skimmy spoilers).
I hear all the time how flipping fantastic Dr. Who is, from friends who (100% of them) are feminists. Then I hear all the time how awfully Moffat treats female characters. I’ve read the Tumblr posts (not all of them about Who),...

– Sandi Toksvig is awesome in this interview with The Guardian.
She also says the solution to getting more women on panel shows is to “make the host a woman.” Which is so simple and so obvious and are you reading this interview yet?

What does it mean?
I rarely read anything Cat Marnell writes, but I will read every article about how writers feel about what Cat Marnell writes.

I suppose it's classier this way.
I was actually looking forward to my High School Reunion.
I thought it would be fun.
I mean, my BFF and I had already agreed to go as Romy and Michele because that’s who we were in high school, so it was actually going to be fun.
Also, even though part of me was terrified that some simple bitches might give me simple shit for being single and childless and unmarried, I knew that I could...

I should hasten to add...about me and Hunter...
…we are supposed to maybe swing by about a dozen different shoe stores scattered all over Florida later today.
And I have never lied more in my life than I have today.
Why couldn’t I just say I’m calling for research?

I had to invent a fake son for a work assignment...
Don’t ask why. I just had to.
Anyway his name is Hunter and he wears a size 8 shoe and we just moved to Florida and he wants Tom Brady’s shoes but I’m not so sure so are they popular and I don’t know anything else because I’m a bad fake mother over the phone and I’ll consider stopping by later.
Why did I name him Hunter?

"You've Just Got To Live"
When I was about 10 years old, I saw something on television that made me suddenly terrified to leave the house for fear of being shot to death.
I tried to fall asleep, but all I could think of was that if I ever left the house again someone could shoot me, someone could stab me, someone could strangle me, a bear could eat me, I could be hit by a car, a bomb could go off, a flash flood could...

Pro tip: When NYMag says they have a graphic photo...
Not as horrifying as when I saw a man’s body strewn across the Canton Junction train tracks, but not as cute as the puppies I usually like seeing on Instagram TO BE FUCKING SURE.
Also, CBS News is commenting asking to use it in their broadcast.
We live in fun times, folks.

Stay classy, Delaware.
The first rule of Fight Crib is you don’t talk about Fight Crib.
Totally stole this idea from Season 2 of Upright Citizens Brigade, man.
People know that the film Fight Club was supposed to take place in Wilmington, Delaware, right?
