Wasting Time on Entertainment Weekly
*Mention of UChicago in an article about an actor on Supernatural, Misha Collins! Here’s his description of the University of Chicago (his alma mater!):
“It used to be a very academically rigorous and a very socially dismal place,” Collins says. “The only social interaction we had was in the basement of the library where there was a little coffee shop. We didn’t even have a student center. There was a study commissioned at the University of Chicago of the top 300 universities, and we ranked 300 out of 300 for social life. [We were] the very, very worst—under the Naval Academy, I might add. “
Ha, ha, Collins, it USED TO BE an academically vigorous and socially dismal place?
*Sneak peek at Reign Season 2:
More deaths? Hooray!
I have to admit that Reign is an absolutely ridiculous show. I enjoy it, but man, it butchers history and it’s basically teen-friendly porn.
In the first season alone, we have a massacre in a brothel, a king choking a prostitute to death during sex, a king literally humping a woman out the window (and of course, to her death), multiple poisonings, consummation scenes, a lesbian make-out scene, attempted rape, executions, human sacrifices, and so much more.
And to people who call it Game of Thrones for chicks, uh, no. Yeah, there’s the scheming, power struggles, gratuitous sex, and somewhat magical elements, but it’s not Game of Thrones. Trust me.
*First Fifty Shades of Grey trailer:
Okay, as sad as it might be, I was actually excited for this.
I don’t know why. I didn’t even like the book and thought it was pretty fucking terrible, but I’m obsessed about the upcoming movie.
Thoughts on the trailer:
Dakota Johnson actually seemed pretty decent in it. Though, I have to agree with some people that she does look kind of old for the part.
But Jamie Dornan seemed kind of bad. And dull. Hot but the acting seemed to be the quality of Jamie Campbell Bower in The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (as in, ugh).
Granted, he said maybe 5 lines in the trailer. Still, his acting didn’t impress me. (But seriously, who’s watching this movie for the acting?)
His abs were great though.
The movie looks like it’s going to be way better than the book though. Not like that’s saying a whole lot, but the producers are trying really hard to make this movie legit.
Ha, ha, will I ever finish my book at this point?
