New Computer Linkspam
Aug. 17th, 2014 11:03 pmYes, I am typing this post on my shiny new Toshiba laptop. \o/ After four years, my poor Samsung has officially kicked its bucket, so my mother and I took a trip to Best Buy while she was here this weekend to get a new one. And I managed to do it without endlessly spamming y'all like last time, so good job me.
I also managed to acquire some kind of medieval plague this weekend, so that's fun. Apparently it disturbs Chelsea, if the withering stare at my death rattle is any indication. Earlier, I hacked up a lung and she went and hid under the piano. WHO'S GOING TO FEED YOU WHEN I'M DEAD, YOU UNGRATEFUL CAT.
oh god she'll probably just gnaw on my corpse
* Teaser for season 6 of Community on Yahoo.
* Outlander has already been renewed for a second season. I've only watched the first episode, but I like it so far, so yay? The Leftovers, which I've seen enough of to like, also got a second season renewal.
* There are neurological reasons why we're so attached to the music we listened to as teenagers. Maybe that's why the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack hit #1, despite being a literal mix-tape of previously released songs.
* If it makes you as happy as it makes me, enjoy dancing baby Groot.
* Will Guardians of the Galaxy's success make Marvel too cocky?
* A biologist uses science to explain how to make superheroes.
* A spectator shot a possibly spoilery video of Agents of SHIELD filming season 2.
* Here's a handy round-up of links for historical context for Steve Rogers as a dude from the 1940s.
* NBC is developing a TV musical version of Robin Hood.
* Director Rob Marshall talks about the Into the Woods movie, ostensibly to reassure us that he's being faithful to the original, but actually mentioning even more changes (the flashbacks, no "Ever After," retooling the second act) I hadn't heard reported before.
* Tom Hiddleston is being considered for a remake of Ben-Hur.
* George R. R. Martin doesn't understand why women want him to write more gay sex scenes, because apparently he (and they) have never heard of the internet.
