Ooku, the Inner Chamber, Vol.1 (book)
In the fantasy-Edo universe of Ooku, a plague called the Red Pox claims 3/4 of all men - boy children are kept sequestered and safe indoors, only the wealthy can afford husbands, and the Shogun (along …

Supernatural
I absolutely recommend this one. (The new season starts Fri, Sept 24!)      It has the episodic monster-hunting of X-files, mixed with the veneration of butchness and go-it-alone …
reviewed Lamb by Christopher Moore. August 09, 2010
Moore's Lamb
Maybe I have exacting standards for satire, but Lamb didn't cut it for me. It's a matter of, I can see what it was trying to do, but I think the execution was substandard.      …

Inception teaser poster
rating it down as far as I can cos I don't think it deserves a +5. The impressed feelings will fade eventually. It was less clever than Matrix, the graphics just stunned you. It's like hypnotizing chickens. …

Octavia E. Butler
She's the balm to any of those "greats of science fiction" lists that "just happen" to contain only (pale) swingin' dicks. Parable of the Sower is one of my favorite 'end of the world' books.
posted a Quick Tip about Joanna Newsom. August 09, 2010
~Joanna Newsom~
Can I call her underrated as I rate her 5? I'd read a book of her lyrics alone and I'd be happy as the cat that got the canary.

Black Widow (Natalia Romanova) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I admit I came to the comics universe through movies, but Black Widow 3 was a Bechdel-passing masterpiece. I didn't expect to find a comic with 90% ladies, where nothing made me cringe. <3 <3 <3

First Amendment
It's a good amendment! Though I like Cohen v. California better.

Barack Obama
I'm voting with the average here, though I'm still not even decided on Jackson yet. Man's got a hard job! Does this describe the community political leaning, then?

Aaliyah & Stewart Townsend in Queen of the Damned
Like it or not, the "dangerous sexuality leads to death" trope won't go away. Lets keep it sexy! PS. Why is this in "politics"? PPS. Thank you, whoever gave this the Aaliyah icon.

Arrest of Bradley Manning for WikiLeaks Scandal
Man had a really shitty time in the military, and the guy he 'outed' himself to is a major-league dick, but it's his screw up, sorry, but he's gotta own it.

Tea Party
Racism! Ignorance! A negotiable relationship to facts! No thank you. ... Well, at least they're bringing back the tricorn hat.

Anyone voting this one down can go take a long walk off a short pier.
