next_to_normal* Ahahaha, I'm a fan of The Sound of Music generally, but Linda Holmes makes some excellent (and hilarious) points. For example: "You would start by teaching untrained children to sing in unison. There's nothing wrong with unison. Having them sing in seven-part harmony is overly ambitious and likely to create stress."
* Mostly leaving this here until I get to see Thor: The Dark World, but if you're wondering about the post-credits sequence, here you go.
* ROTFLMFAO at this Chinese theater accidentally using a slashy fanmade poster instead of the official Thor poster. In other not-real promotional material, I give you the trailer for Thor Actually.
* Slumber party with Tom Hiddleston! I... can't even describe this. You just have to watch it. While we're on the subject, here is a collection of Tom being adorable.
* I have really enjoyed the unconventional director choices Marvel has made. I think it adds an interesting dimension to each film and keeps them from seeming bland and generically superhero-y.
* Marvel has spawned a whole new set of TV series, which will be streaming on Netflix. The guys at HitFix discuss further.
* The Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special will be aired all around the world simultaneously.
* OMG Love Actually came out 10 years ago? That... makes me feel really old.
* Oooh, this is interesting: what Masters of Sex doesn't address about the real-life Virginia Johnson.
* A Hunger Games theme park? Really? "After the Hunger Games theme park, Lionsgate should consider a Hunger Games reality show, because that also sounds like a great idea that could in no way backfire." Also: Katniss/Gale clip from Catching Fire!
* This article doesn't really tell us anything new about the Saul spin-off, but I am including it because this deserves to be quoted: "For example, Breaking Bad itself was originally going to be the story of a high school chemistry teacher who lives a contented but vaguely unsatisfying life, with every episode was going to consist of Walter White staring off into the middle distance while he gives a lecture about hydrogen bonds.
“But what if he wore a hat?” mused Vince Gilligan, and a hit was born."
