Watch, Listen, and Learn: Joss Whedon Edition

From his May 15, 2006 Equality Now tribute address: Because equality is not a concept. It’s not something we should be striving for. It’s a necessity. Equality is like gravity, we need it to stand on this earth as me…
Random Act of Spuffy: Hot 'n Cold

I think it's about time for another Random Act of Spuffy. Fox must have removed the stick in its butt because YouTube is again the home of many delicious (and some not-so-delicious) Spike/Buffy fanvids. I chose this one …
I Can Ride My Bike With No Handlebars

H/T to my awesome friend Maighread for this gem of a DW video: Just thought everyone could use a dose of Doctor happiness today.

It's the happy time of year again. No, not the holidays. Children in Need! The time of year when the BBC knows everyone is suffering from Doctor Who (and David Tennant) withdrawal and they decide to throw all the pitiful…
Don't Mess with Warner Brothers

I'm going to say this really loud and clear right up front for all you lazy noobs out there who haven't gotten around actually reading the Harry Potter books yet: There is a MAJOR SPOILER for Harry Potter and the Half B…
Crucifix, Bible, Garlic, Stakes, and Holy Water--Let's Hunt Us Some Vampires!

You know, with all my hippie liberal bohemian arugala-munching latte-sipping postmodern theological leanings, I'd like to think that, were I woman of independent means with a generous amount of disposable income, I would…
