Alisonofagun: Okay wait. →
sadrobotinabowlerhat:
I just facepalmed about this “mewling quim blah blah Joss is a sexist moron” stuff myself so hard that I bruised myself. Seriously?
Warning: lots of opinions and Widow/Pepper/Hill love and Avengers movie spoilers.
Okay guys…
Learn the word “joke.” Think about…
Voila. Like I said: Whedon ain’t sexist. That line was brilliantly executed.
Don't assume I'm a mom.
A tale of two grocery store clerks.
A few weeks ago, while I was buying ingredients to make cupcakes for a get-together at my friend’s place, the grocery store clerk asked what I was making. When I told him I was making cupcakes, he said “Oh, looks like somebody’s getting spoiled!” Misunderstanding his intent, I just said “Yeah, but they deserve it.” And then...

Trigger warning: Sexist language
anythingtoasted:
Are people seriously getting het up about Loki’s “Mewling Quim” line and calling JOSS WHEDON
A MYSOGYNIST?
Are they fucking crazy? the same man who created River Tam; who created BUFFY; who did not, ONCE sexualise Natasha in the Avengers? The same man whose female characters are always well-rounded, equal and tough as fuck with actual personalities?
I’m sorry internet,...

My dilemma
Ah, but The Cabin in the Woods is the horror movie for people who are sick and tired of horror movies. It isn’t what it seems. Just go see it. You’ll be glad you did.
No, it’s really not. Perhaps if you’re just tired of what you’ve seen lately, but still have favorite horror movies. I was told repeatedly that...

Black Widow Spins Webs Around THE AVENGERS
fuckyeahjosswhedon:
This is a REALLY great article about the different views on Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow and how much of a great feminist character she is at Joss Whedon’s hand (and how some people simply can’t see this). I loved it.
Excellent article. Reading the reviews from people who simply did not recognize the awesomeness that was Black Widow I kind of wondered if we were...

Will Joss Whedon write and direct 'The Avengers'... →
Fair warning: My blog is becoming more and more Whedon-centric. DEAL WITH IT.
So now that we can expect a sequel to what was in its own right a truly awesome flick, everybody’s asking one major question: Will “The Avengers” writer and director Joss Whedon return to work on “The Avengers 2”? And will we really call it “The Avengers 2”?

The women of 'The Avengers': Breaking down... →
My not-at-all-as-thorough-as-it-could-be breakdown of the three main women in “The Avengers.” Feedback more than welcome, as I know I missed some stuff and over-simplified things in the interest of fitting it into my word count. It doesn’t pass the Bechdel Test, but Black Widow, Pepper Potts, and even Maria Hill are wonderful as far as this geek girl is concerned. Contains a few...

Scarlett Johansson Has the Most Human Moment in... →
I was distracted from the interesting point the author was trying to make by the fact that they kept calling her “the Black Widow” instead of just “Black Widow.” I think there’s something wrong with me.

Why prepare for the zombie apocalypse? →
We prepare for the zombie apocalypse because we’re horrified at our learned helplessness and relatively leisurely lives. We come up with zombie apocalypse plans because it’s comforting to imagine that if the need ever arose, we could abandon modern comforts and concerns and get down to business (the business of surviving in a post-apocalyptic world, that is).

Curse your sudden but inevitable popularity
shinkisrule:
fuckyeahjosswhedon:
An interesting look at Joss Whedon’s rise on popularity.
Finally, the world started recognizing his work and talent. Joss belongs to the world now.
Half of me: OMG PEOPLE WILL FINALLY KNOW THE WONDERS OF JOSS AND QUALITY WRITING YES
Other half of me: THIS ISN’T FAIR HE’S OURS
This is exactly the irrational feeling I had when Firefly got popular (a...

Dear men in high heels
You look fabulous. Truly, you do.
But dammit, why the hell did you have to take the one method I have of looking as tall and as powerful as the men around me?! You’ve figured out the secret of high heels that women have tried to keep from you for years, and I am unabashedly bitter about sharing.
Sincerely,
A vertically-challenged woman wearing some damn fierce wedges today

“[Chris Hemsworth] is a big boy, and it’s all real. There’s no CGI. He eats that...”
– Tom Hiddleston (via assguard)
can I join that touching party
(via whoistorule)
I went to IMDB to find out just how big Chris Hemsworth (aka God among men, aka I-really-hope-the-hammer-is-his-penis, aka I-am-embarrassed-by-how-attracted-I-am-to-this-man) really is. And he’s only...

I will be the Pepper Potts to your Tony Stark
Catey: Dude! Flying home first class was amazing! There were flat beds and ice cream sundaes and so many drinks! I've never experienced that before!
Me: I think our new life goal should be to get rich so we can go everywhere first class.
Catey: Yes. I will get a businessy type international job so i can fly business/first class.
Me: Can I be your personal assistant/doer of dirty deeds? CAN I BE THE PEPPER POTTS TO YOUR TONY STARK?!
Catey: Yes of course! I mean... would we have to make out?
Me: No no. We'd be earlier versions of the characters, when I would still be kicking out dudes you spent the night with all condescending-like.
Catey: Yeah, that sounds about right.

By saying that you only support abortion in cases...
Really enjoyed explaining this to my male family members for some reason. They’re basically pro-choice, but tried to pull the ole’ “there should be limits on when someone can choose an abortion, because in the case of rape it’s totally ok, but if it’s just for convenience then that’s not necessarily ok.” Nope. Any reason is a valid reason. Abortion on...

I’ve been reading a lot of interviews with Joss Whedon lately, but this one from Wired takes the cake. Very cool retrospective on his career and his process writing and directing “The Avengers.” Definitely worth the read!

'The Avengers' movie review: Funniest superhero... →
With such overwhelmingly high expectations of greatness, there’s really only one important question at this point: Does “The Avengers” live up to the hype?
Yes. Yes it does.
A lot of early reviews have even made claims that “The Avengers” is the best superhero movie of all time. While that might still be up for debate, it certainly is the funniestsuperhero movie of...
