Apparently people really are bitching over that Blip TV not allowing AdBlocker thing.

What the fuck does it matter? It’s literally thirty seconds of ad. Youtube ads can go as long as two and a half minutes, sometimes without a skip option. Is what you’re watching so goddamn vital that you can’t sit still for half a minute to let the ad play?

From what it looks like, Blip is providing a way to let content producers actually profit off their reviews FOR ONCE. Let’s be fair here, being a critic on the Internet and trying to make a living off it sucks bad enough. Blip seems to be acknowledging that, hey, these guys are kinda getting fucked by the system here, let’s see if we can ease the burden and help them out. And good for them! Behind them all the way on that.

Why SHOULDN’T a reviewer profit from the work they do? THEY are the ones willing subjecting themselves to the shit they watch. THEY are the ones that put WEEKS of editing into just ONE video. Why SHOULDN’T they make money off it? Why SHOULDN’T they make it a job? Is the Internet not a land of opportunity, where one can make something of himself and try to make it sustain?

The nerve of these self-entitled pricks. Can’t even sit through thirty seconds of an ad without trying to form a mutiny. Fucking babies.

Also, this:

is still the funniest thing ever. Fuck yourselves.

Works for me.

Still think they could’ve gotten a better deal from someone else, but hey, it’s their company XD

"Why do you have to shit on every movie? Why can’t you just sit back and enjoy it? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO..."

Mon, 20 May 2013 20:44:24 -0400

““Why do you have to shit on every movie? Why can’t you just sit back and enjoy it? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO OVERTHINK EVERYTHING?!?!”
But ask yourself: Why is there that knee-jerk rejection of any effort to “overthink” pop culture? Why would you ever be afraid that looking too hard at something will ruin it? If the government built a huge, mysterious device in the middle of your town and immediately surrounded it with a fence that said, “NOTHING TO SEE HERE!” I’m pretty damned sure you wouldn’t rest until you knew what the hell that was — the fact that they don’t want you to know means it can’t be good.
Well, when any idea in your brain defends itself with “Just relax! Don’t look too close!” you should immediately be just as suspicious. It usually means something ugly is hiding there.”

You can love something and still question the shit out of it. I do it all the time, even with my favorite movies/games/books. There’s no harm in admitting they have faults.

I agree completely. They are making Stannis look like he is in love with Melisandre and making him seem very weak-willed in the process. They also are making him seem very heartless. They've pretty much ruined who he's supposed to be unfortunately. This season may have had some decent highlights, but overall it's been a major letdown =[

I’ve felt half-and-half. I’ve felt like they’ve paid a lot more attention this season to characters that have kinda gone unnoticed up until now or just haven’t had much screentime (Pod, Barristan, Rast, Roose, Karstark, etc), which I’ve liked a lot, and I kinda like the changes they’ve made (even if I think killing Ros made her kinda…well…unnecessary in the long run).

Stannis is really the only one I’ve been disappointed completely by. Well, and that Liam Cunningham has not had nearly enough screentime. Seriously, people, the man’s got a fucking BAFTA. Let’s give him more than just three episodes so far, howsabout?

I’ve liked the major events this season, like the Beric/Sandor fight and the Watch mutiny. Ultimately, though, this season will come down to the next episode, which they REEEEALLY need to make amazing.

kimithegreat:

there is power in king’s blood

Which one was the dick leech though?

I was slightly unhappy with this scene because it’s one of my favorite chapters in A Storm of Swords… Robb Stark’s name was supposed to come last, and there was supposed to be a moment of hesitation that came with it. Also, not sure why the sex scene was necessary. Very awkward. Also, in the book the blood (“king’s blood”) was Edric’s… and I’m pretty sure Melisandre didn’t fuck him.

Admittedly, I’m not a huge fan of what they’ve done with Stannis in general this season…in the book, even when the three are killed, he’s still hesitant to go along with what Melisandre wants. He does it, but only when he realizes he needs to. In the show, he seems all too willing to go along with things, not really questioning it, not really resisting. It doesn’t feel right.

Lets relax Man of Steel comes in June 14 there.

I also happened to notice Nolan’s name attached to it when I saw the trailer.

He’s getting as ambitious as Abrams these days XD

The blue trek uniforms like some needs to sell those now.

Now, I’m not one of those Cumberbatch peeps, I don’t get on my knees for the man, I think Sherlock is a decent show but it’s not setting my world on fire, and he does a good job in it, he’s aiight.

That said, FUCK, he’s terrifying in this new Star Trek.

Sun, 19 May 2013 11:59:58 -0400

Just the usual stuff. I should probably update that Slender Man Silent Hill story…

Although I’m expecting a new opportunity for movie reviewing hopefully in the near future that I’m looking forward to.

Huh. Well you should be sure to post it somewhere when you Get it done and edited. OR try to Get it published :D - Nonny

Sun, 19 May 2013 11:49:40 -0400

Well, publishing definitely. This is gonna be the foot in the door writing-wise. Hopefully XD

To start it off, How's that little TV series you were starting to write coming along? - Nonny

Sun, 19 May 2013 11:43:41 -0400

Well, it’s kinda moved over to book form pretty much for definite. I’m working on an outline of the whole thing for Lyn to look over and give pointers where needed, ‘cause right now whenever I try to explain it to her in words it doesn’t work very well…I’m not a very eloquent speaker XD;

Not much. I know it's been awhile, but over the past couple months I've been Going through some personal stuff. But Hopefully I'll at last once again be able to fill up your ask box :D - Nonny

the-vashta-nerada:

it is the 50th anniversary. clara asks the doctor why he chose the name “the doctor”.

john hurt appears out of nowhere and says “the wand chooses the wizard, mr. potter. it’s not always clear why”. he then turns into the great dragon and flies away

the screen turns black

that’s the episode

No no, instead of turns into a dragon, he says that line and then an alien bursts out of his chest.

Hey there Tom. Long time no see. - Nonny
