So, yes, this.

(b) he looks like a sausage roll

he went right past handsome and came out ugly YES.YES THIS. All the individual elements are there—strong jawline, sharp cheekbones, intense eyes—and yet when you put them together you get… that.

It’s the same problem I have with John Barrowman — technically the face should be handsome, but it’s so waxy and artificial looking, it’s more like looking into the uncanny valley!

“[W]hen we launch in a territory the Bittorrent traffic drops as the Netflix traffic grows. So I think people do want a great experience and they want access – people are mostly honest. The best way to combat piracy isn’t legislatively or criminally but by giving good options. effects of growth of content is an expectation to have access to it. You can’t use the internet as a marketing vehicle and then not as a delivery vehicle.”

Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer at Netflix (via laliberty)

This is absolutely true. Unless you have no disposable income at all, I think most people would pay for the TV shows and movies they love — particularly fannish audiences who would treat payment as a kind of “vote” to keep the show on air. If Game of Thrones, Elementary, sci-fi shows like Agents of SHIELD, etc were available for legal streaming/download and didn’t have differing international release dates, piracy levels would plummet.

N.B. Season 3 Teen Wolf will be available internationally on iTunes, right…??

(via hellotailor)

Hey, remember that time Foxtel struck a deal with iTunes to ensure that, from 2014, you can’t buy Game of Thrones until the season has finished airing?

It was nice legally knowing you, GoT!

I think of all the fanboys who say this scene should never have been filmed … and now its canonicity has been reinforced.

Also, I kind of want Clara’s jacket. Don’t judge me.

A Glasgow nightclub has installed a two-way mirror which allows male revellers in private booths to spy on unsuspecting women as they visit the toilet! With no notification or signage anywhere in the venue many female club goers have been left feeling embarrassed and used. Although they do briefly show the mirrors in a promo video, the club has been quickly deleting comments and posts on their social media from club goers trying to alert others to the situation. This is pretty much illegal and hugley violates privacy. Thank you The Shimmy Club for giving us a shiny, new, creative and cool take on objectification.

i’m never leaving my house again, this world is just too fucked up.

A club in Brisbane had a similar gimmick once, but in the men’s loos. The urinals were two-way mirrors.

There was a notable lack of women posing in front of said mirrors. And not just because we didn’t have camera phones then.

Charlie Brooker's highway code of social media

Rule No 1: don't form a mob on the basis of anything you read less than a minute ago.
Rule No 2: accusations of child abuse don't go down very well, even if you try to "lighten the mood" midway through them by typing LOL.
Rule No 3: don't be a dick.

I’m going with Zuko!… What?

I feel like Toph got really short shifted on character development scenes - they always went for the easy “Toph is tough!” jokes when the fact is, the few times she does try to reach on on something else for her own needs, she gets shut down every time. Unlike Zuko, she doesn’t even have ONE family member she was on good terms with and here she is, hunted by mercenaries because her family wants to imprison her.

I heard that, towards the end, Jessie Flower had a lot of school stuff going on, so they weren’t able to give her the meaty scenes Toph deserved.

In fact. their first kick at the franchise was such a smash — convincing not only fans but also bringing in a much larger audience of casual viewers — that John Cho admitted that the pressure going into sequel Star Trek Into Darkness (now playing) was, if anything, greater.

“On the other hand,” he added, “I’m not J.J. Abrams, who’s ultimately responsible. I’m just his Asian puppet. Which, by the way, is also the title of my autobiography.”

John Cho is not fucking around. I’m in love.

I just saw the interview where John Cho praises Ricardo Montalban’s Khan, and observes that he is a man of colour, and everyone else looks really awkward, and now I’ve gone from thinking Cho is pretty great to thinking he needs to marry me.
