Fanvid of the Week: “Fly You Fools”
Vidder: beautifullytragic6 This vidder is one of my favorites on the web. I first discovered her for her Sherlock promos (which you haven’t seen, please check them out) and I fell in love with her for her beautifully smooth editing and artistic eye. This vid is a flawlessly edited mashup of Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit and The Lord of […]
MoreSomeone Buy Sir Ian McKellan a Drink
As I rewatch The Fellowship of the Ring for perhaps the fiftieth time, I would like to place particular emphasis on this scene. Notice Gandalf’s face when Saruman describes the Eye of Sauron.

MoreSupernatural Season 7: “The Girl With the Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo”
With all the “Dick” jokes we get during S7, it is refreshing to get a dose of girl power and with that, a character that isn’t trying to sex up one of our boys. Instead, Charlie Bradbury reflects some of the cooler women of the Supernatural fandom. We’re not all like Becky, Moose! In this episode, […]
