Why any show is better with Dutch subtitles

Finally caught last week's episode of Smallville. When the relevant parties get around to convincing the Black Canary to knock that shit off, the words "slutt jobbe" came up. As in "slutt jobbe" is what she shouldn't be doing any more.

I had to stop. I needed a mo.

Oh God, subconscious, WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY!?

I dreamt last night that my mother had gotten me the DVD for Tin Man for my birthday, and I had to sit there and smile and pretend it was great. Because my mom hears me talk about stuff and then rushes out to put more of it into my life (this is why I have Spider-Man towels, y'all).

The casing was bright golden yelllow, which I guess was the yellow brick road or something, but completely unlike any promotional material I'd seen for the miniseries. When I went, gamely, to open it to watch in front of the family (to prove that I REALLY LOVED MY PRESENT, MOMMY), I saw that the bottom half of the casing had been pried apart. The clear plastic packaging was ripped and the plastic DVD case was gaping open. The paper DVD case cover was ripped (man, I hate that), too. Long story short, no DVD left inside.

This lead to me having to find an excuse to return it, which I was still embarrassed to admit in front of my mother lest she think my returning the DVD for being, you know, missing meant I didn't still want it.

My neuroses, let me show you them.

Round up of Ultimate Boredom made better

1. Did I mention that Iron Man was gonna be the May Movie? I believe I did. Yet I had not watched the trailer until today. Lo, it awesome, and I want to see this more than ever. Two really notable things? Tony Stark? TOTAL ASSHOLE. Well done, you've got the character right. Two? I'm pretty sure Iron Man has the honor of being the only hero to be shown getting laid in the trailer. So, uh, well done for him, I'm sure.

Check out the TV spot and the full trailer. They both are snark-tastic and comic-book bad-ass. Could they have cast this better? I think not.

2. First picture from the Wolverine spin-off movie. You ask me, this is easily ten years too late. The Jackman was showing his years in X-Men 2. Still, I'm sure most hormonal women are still attracted to him. Not me. Too hairy.

3. All these conversations are made of win, but cut for length.

First up, exchanges with viridian. ( Click if you love Jack Harkness and Alan Cumming! )

And feiran. ( Click if you like Indiana Jones but HATE Sailor moon )

Last but not least, moonlightalice gets her funny on.( Click for fucking monkeys (and that's not a euphemism). )
