Marie Antoinette is Punk-Pop Perfect
Sofia Coppola’s third film, Marie Antoinette (2006) is a window into the decadent world of pre-revolutionary France through the experiences of the infamous Marie Antoinette. Coppola has a distinct talent for delving into the dark crevices of young womanhood and this film is no exception. From the moment Marie is stripped and inspected at the […]
MoreWarped Fairytales: A Day at the Kubrick Exhibition, LACMA
I watched my first Stanley Kubrick film at the age of 13. A censored-for-television version of The Shining often played on channel 5 periodically on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, especially in the Fall months near Halloween. That first time, I watched most of the movie from behind my own hand, peaking through fingers and half-closed […]
MoreGeek Chic: Star Wars Fans Do It With Force
George Lucas began the Star Wars franchise in 1977 and the films have been nerdom royalty ever since. Fans of the stories represent favorite characters through cosplay, geek-shirts and creative accessorizing that borders on absurd. This isn’t a franchise that is hard to find in the stores. A Star Wars fan is a “legitimate nerd” […]
MoreFanfiction: It’s Like Nerd Heroin
You know you’ve done it, stayed up till the wee hours of the morning, laptop/ipad/mobile phone clutched tightly to your chest, and the only light in your bedroom is the faint glow of a dimly lit electronic screen. You know you have. You know that you’ve opened it at work/school/Starbucks and made the words tiny […]
MoreMusic Tuesdays: The Music of Doctor Who
Confession: Sometimes, at the gym, I listen to the Doctor Who season 5 soundtrack and pretend I’m Amy Pond on a great adventure with the Doctor. As I’ve mentioned before, in a previously written but yet unpublished post (wibbley-wobbley, timey-wimey) Whovians are an intense fandom. As a person new-to-Who, I’ve wholeheartedly embraced the Wholigan lifestyle, […]
MoreThe Collectiva Diva’s Top 5 Tom Hardy Films (That Will Blow Your Mind)
Tom Hardy party!!! Edward Thomas Hardy. A man’s man and a lady’s wet dream. The (sometimes) bearded British sex god who isn’t afraid to show his wang every now and again. I have long obsessed over this man’s ability to grow a thick and gorgeous face blanket, his multitude of tattoos and scandalous body. Oh, […]
MoreI Watch Eleven Now. Eleven is Cool.
“You never forget your first Doctor.” That’s what people tell me. I’ve also heard that your first Doctor is most likely your favorite Doctor. For me, this is true. Sort of. Technically, the Second Doctor was my first Doctor, and if you have ever watched “The Tomb of the Cybermen,” you would know that Two […]
MoreWhy Sherlockians Crave Johnlock (And Why We’re Right To)
If you’re a true Sherlockian (and, let’s face it, if you’re reading this, you probably are), then you’ve undoubtedly heard of “Johnlock.” But if you’ve assumed that (1) I’m writing about the RDJ/Jude Law interpretation of Sherlock or (2) that Johnlock is a brand of specialty briefcases (it’s not) then you may want to dig […]
MoreThe Collectiva Diva’s Top Five Zombie Films
What really constitutes a good zombie flick? Personally, I don’t go for too much blood and gore (although impossible to escape in a good zombie movie) due to a weak stomach and a penchant for plot. Instead, I prefer a psychologically damaging film that seriously frightens me because it just might happen. The capital “Z” […]
