So Very Well Earned, Awesome Job People!

Starz is looking to build buzz for the project by promoting the search for the right actor to limn the lead character with the social-media effort #CastingShadow, inviting fans to weigh on who should get the gig.

Starz is finally finally FINALLY moving ahead with American Gods!!! (http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/neil-gaiman-american-gods-bryan-fuller-starz-1201520765/) So get those fancast gifsets out of your archive and start tweeting so that maybe they don’t cast the same white bread and mayonnaise sandwich you know they want to cast?????

OK, this will require some thought... :)

okay so I’m doing a little experiment, hopefully it will turn out cool, but I need a little assistance from my Tumblr peeps first :)

so reblog this post and tag it with your Hogwarts House and your Zodiac Sign <3

“And lo, I saw a rider on a pale horse, and the rider was death.”

Perfect, reminded me of a lot of stuff in the comics I forgot, explains everything really well, yay!

An Analysis of Rick and His Pursuit of Jessie

It is a truth nearly universally accepted that the Jessie/Rick “romance” from The Walking Dead comic has been fraught with issues – big time issues. I will not catalog all of them as others have written lengthy analysis on the topic (from the sexist trope of women in refrigerators, from the worrying way they portrayed domestic violence, to Rick’s predatory behavior around Jessie prior to learning she was in trouble, etc.). What keeps tickling my brain is: why did they botch it so very badly?

(Note: This is not necessarily a defense of Rick, but rather an alternative way of looking at his behavior. It made me feel better writing it.)

The sadly, very easy answer is: "The Walking Dead" is horror.

Although we have made great strides in making other genres more acceptable by the general public, (think fantasy, like "Game of Thrones", or espionage, like "Homeland", or even, *shudder*, romance, like "Outlander",) other genres, (especially horror, but also science fiction,) are still thought of as somehow 'lesser' by people, so of course anything that falls into a ghettoized genre can't be any good to them, whether they've actually watched it or not.

This has been the fight of my life, trying to show people that incredible art exists in all genres, and that horror exists in all other genres, all the time. At any rate, I'll save the rest of the soapbox rant for another day, but that is the answer to your question.

Annual How Come Melissa McBride And Andrew Lincoln Were Subbed By The Emmys post.

I don't even have words, lol!

Andrew Lincoln acceptance speech?

Does anyone have any info on what Andrew Lincoln said during his award acceptance? Curious.

Also, *super* happy he got a gorgeous, new, non-shiny blue suit!

OK, in this week's episode, 'Now', he stumbled, running toward the gate, and actually fell. That's all three episodes he's been in this season. Interesting

I find it fascinating that, in this, season 6 of The Walking Dead, suddenly Rick Grimes is, literally, stumbling in altercations. It feels like it has to be intentional, usually Andrew Lincoln’s fights are really clean, but both the confrontation with Carter in the pantry from the premiere, (‘First Time Again’,) and the fight in the RV in the third episode, (‘Thank You’,) have Rick stumbling.

In the pantry confrontation, after he disarms Carter and turns to face him, it looks like his right ankle twists, and his foot slips under him. Bugged me at the time, cause they usually don’t have mistakes like that? Then in the RV, after he knocks both guys down, and turns to shoot the Wolf in the front, he falls onto the bench on the left side of the RV, pops right back up, and shoots them.

Is it just me, or is that odd?

Far too awesome for words

In a super classy move, Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige congratulated Jurassic World on killing the box office this weekend (and beating Avengers’ record).
