Uh, Murderbot? SecUnit? YOU NEED THERAPY. While your inorganic parts are running as optimal as ever, it's your squishy human bits that need some love. After everything you've been through, your PTSD is showing. Get some help, or I'll ask ART to sit on you. No hugs, because you don't like/want to be touched, but you're worrying your humans and that has to stop now.

(So many of us identify with Murderbot: it's just doing its best, you know? And it's often surprised that humans want it around and value more than just its processing speed and security protocols. Emotions are hard, okay?)

Also, go watch the show. It's pretty great and is hitting all the right beats, even if "it's not the same as the book" it has the feel of them. And of course it's not the same! It can't be! What I imagine when I read is not what the author, Martha Wells, imagined when she put down the words, and it won't be what the showrunners imagined when they started the heavy lifting of translating text-to-visual. The special effects are top notch, Corporation Rim is as awful as you expect, and the acting is superb. Like SecUnit (who often wonders what it's doing with its face) I don't know if Alexander Skarsgård knows what he's doing with his face (and if he does, he's conveying that "not knowing" perfectly).

I have been digging this track lately. It's very true and hella catchy.

This is lovely and hit me right in the feels: Kitbull.

X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE HD


And yeah, I know it's likely to be crap. But I'm really not expecting much. :D

This is a car advertisement from Germany or Austria. When they finished filming the ad, the people who made it noticed something moving along the side of the car, like a ghostly white mist. The ad was never put on TV because the unexplained ghostly phenomenon frightened the production team out of their wits. Watch it and about halfway look and you will see the white mist crossing in front of the car then following it along the road . . . spooky!

(Work safe. Video has sound, but not required.)

Finally finished Carnivàle. It was bloody amazing, but I want a third season, dammit! I know there's legal issues and money issues, but it's too good to stop now. Poopie. :(

So, after downloading the first episode last night and getting around to watching it a little while ago, I have to admit, I'm very impressed with the new Doctor Who. Christopher Eccleston is perfect and the new series really does benefit from computer animation. But, don't fret, there's still a little BBC Cheese to make everything better. :)

I believe lovecraftienne that this is the information that you seek about the good Doctor in Canada.

You can bet they're not playing this on MTV...

Just select which resolution you'd like for "Counting Bodies"...oh and it's not political. Not in the slightest. :P
