Video reblogged from THAT IS ALL
I don’t know where I was when I missed this fan-made trailer for the movie currently titled:
“JOHN CARTER, Secretly of Mars, but only SECRETLY! Because Some People Do Not Like Science Fiction, and Maybe They Will Be Tricked Into Thinking That The Four-Armed Green Creatures We Show Them In The Trailer Are Actually Football Players In A New Secret Season of Friday Night Lights in Which Everyone Dresses Up Like Aliens but Are DEFINITELY NOT NERDS.”
In any case, this is a movie which, for many reasons, I want very much to like. And now, for the first time thanks to this fan-made trailer, I REALLY REALLY DO.
BUT THEN, what do I know about movie marketing? I am just a nerd who was going to see it anyway, right? Except for the fact that the official marketing seemed so embarrassed and ashamed of itsself that I actually managed to FORGET it was made by Andrew Stanton and Michael Chabon and very nearly blew it off.
But instead, I am going to see it tonight, and I am even LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
I hope I like it. I HOPE WE ALL DO.
That is all.
Sweet Jesus, yes. Having seen the movie, I can say that it’s actually pretty good and quite a lot of fun. I sincerely hope it does decently at the box office and isn’t the giant bomb that I fear it’s going to be.

Link reblogged from Neil Gaiman
birdartpoetry asked: Mister Gaiman, you’re kickass. I was just wondering, what do you think is the best way to seduce a writer? I figured your answer would be pretty spectacular.
In my experience, writers tend to be really good at the inside of their own heads and imaginary people, and a lot less good at the stuff going on outside, which means that quite often if you flirt with us we will completely fail to notice, leaving everybody involved slightly uncomfortable and more than slightly unlaid.
So I would suggest that any attempted seduction of a writer would probably go a great deal easier for all parties if you sent them a cheerful note saying “YOU ARE INVITED TO A SEDUCTION: Please come to dinner on Friday Night. Wear the kind of clothes you would like to be seduced in.”
And alcohol may help, too. Or kissing. Many writers figure out that they’re being seduced or flirted with if someone is actually kissing them.
This is the truest thing that has ever been written.

LEGO The Lord of the Rings LEGO Sets
The LEGO Universe, which seems to contain all other Universes, has expanded even further with a brand new line of LOTR-themed sets due out this Summer. I was marveling at the impressive artwork they released to hype these when I realized the Hobbit and Dwarf minifigs are actually shorter than than the others. Now that’s attention to detail. LEGO Gollum needs to be mine. The first wave of sets are below:
• “Gandalf Arrives” – Minifigures: Gandalf, Frodo
• “Shelob Attacks” – Minifigures: Samwise, Frodo, Gollum
• “Uruk-hai Army” – Minifigures: x4 Uruk-hai with a siege crossbow, x1 Rohirrim Soldier, x1 Rider Of Rohan with his horse
• “Attack On Weathertop”- Minifigures: Samwise, Frodo, Aragon, x2 Nazgul
• “Mines Of Moria” – Minifigures: Frogo, Gimli, Legolas, Boromir, x2 Goblins, x2 Skeletons, Cave Troll
• “The Battle Of Helms Deep” – Minifigures: Aragon, Gimli, Legolas, Theoden, x5 Uruk-hai
