“I’ve said to George ‘come on, tell me who wins, please’ And he thinks I’m joking and I say, ‘no, no, I’m deadly serious!’ His lips are sealed. And I’m sure that David and Dan know but they don’t tell anyone –I’ve got them drunk and they still wouldn’t tell me. I’ve been pleading with them, ‘tell me who wins!’ And they won’t say a word. They’re under lock and key!”

"Be kind to yourself. Stop telling yourself that whatever you are struggling with “should” be easy...."

“Be kind to yourself. Stop telling yourself that whatever you are struggling with “should” be easy. If something is hard for you, it is hard for you. There are probably Reasons, though those may just be how you are wired. Acknowledge these things. When you finish something hard, be proud! Celebrate a little.

And really, just stop saying “should” to yourself about your thoughts and feelings in any context. You feel how you feel. The things in your head are the things in your head. You can’t change either directly through sheer force of will. You can only change what you do. Stop beating yourself up for who and what you are right now–it isn’t productive. Focus on moving forward.

”

Why I am disappointed Argo won Best Picture

Wed, 27 Feb 2013 18:01:25 -0600

I was not surprised last night that Argo won the Best Picture Oscar, just dissapointed because I did not think it was the best movie of five of the nine nominees that I had seen. The five I have seen are Lincoln, Argo, Zero Dark Thirty, Django Unchained…

The First Teaser Trailer For ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’

The new ‘Star Trek’ trailer is real heavy on the Benedict Cumberbatch messin’ stuff up real bad for the crew of the USS Enterprise.

‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ is directed by J.J. Abrams and stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Benedict Cumberbatch, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Karl Urban, Bruce Greenwood and Anton Yelchin, and hits theaters May 17th, 2013.

“So. Shall we begin?”

YES PLEASE

In.

Oh, and for all the seniors or near-seniors who voted Republican because you thought they would protect Medicare from that bad guy Obama: you’ve been had

Oh, and for all the seniors or near-seniors who voted Republican because you thought they would protect Medicare from that bad guy Obama: you’ve been had:

wilwheaton:

It goes without saying that the Republican “counteroffer” is basically fake. It calls for $800 billion in revenue from closing loopholes, but doesn’t specify a single loophole to be closed; it calls for huge spending cuts, but aside from raising the Medicare age and cutting the Social Security inflation adjustment — moves worth only around $300 billion — it doesn’t specify how these cuts are to be achieved. So it’s basically the Paul Ryan method: scribble down some numbers and pretend that you’re a budget wonk with a Serious plan.

What I haven’t seen pointed out here is the longer arc of GOP strategy. Does anyone recall how the Bush tax cuts were passed? The 2001 cut was passed based on the claim that the government was running an excessive surplus; the 2003 cut on the claim that it would provide an economic boost. Then the surplus went away, and the economy did not, to say the least, perform very well. So now we face a substantial long-run deficit largely created by those tax cuts.

Krugman, speaking again for the Reality-based community.

Crazy

parislemon:

Whoa.

That’s about half of what Disney paid for Pixar nearly seven years ago.

And yes, apparently Star Wars Episode VII is coming in 2015.

Update: Here’s the release. Of note, Kathleen Kennedy, the current Co-Chairman of Lucasfilm, will become the president of the group within Disney. You may know her best as Steven Spielberg’s production partner throughout the years. The other key:

Ms. Kennedy will serve as executive producer on new Star Wars feature films, with George Lucas serving as creative consultant. Star Wars Episode 7 is targeted for release in 2015, with more feature films expected to continue the Star Wars saga and grow the franchise well into the future.

Begun, the post-Lucas Star Wars have.
