Just because something is typed–whether it is typed on a business card or typed in a newspaper or book–this does not mean that it is true.

Trailer Tuesday: Maleficent
Welcome to “Trailer Tuesday” where I talk about trailers for upcoming movies, since I’ve always found them to be fascinating.
A while back I featured the first trailer for Disney’s Maleficent, a new take on the story of Sleeping Beauty starring Angelina Jolie as the titular villain and Elle Fanning as Princess Aurora. Now we’ve got a new trailer that gives us a better look at the film. Take a look, and read on for my comments:
Quote of the Day
Jake Sisko: You always used to chase me away.
Odo: I never chased you away, I chased Nog. You just happened to be with him. So, unless you are planning on flicking sand peas at the passing throng, you are welcome to stay here as long as you like.

Quote of the Day
“Good luck, Ron,” said Hermione, standing on tiptoe and kissing him on the cheek. “And you, Harry –”
Ron seemed to come to himself slightly as they walked back across the Great Hall. He touched the spot on his face where Hermione had kissed him, looking puzzled, as though he was not quite sure what had just happened.

“I will thank you not to be impertinent,” Aunt Josephine said, using a word which here means “pointing out that I’m wrong, which annoys me.” “It is very annoying.”

Worf: Life is a great deal more complicated in this red uniform.
Benjamin Sisko: Wait ’til you get four pips on that collar. You’ll wish you had gone into botany.

Quote of the Day
“Can we be the Anti-Umbridge League?” said Angelina hopefully.
“Or the Ministry of Magic Are Morons Group?” suggested Fred.
“I was thinking,” said Hermione, frowning at Fred, “more of a name that didn’t tell everyone what we’re up to, so we can refer to it safely outside meetings.”
“The Defense Association?” said Cho. “The D.A. for short, so nobody knows what we’re talking about?”
“Yeah, the D.A.’s good,” said Ginny. “Only let’s make it stand for Dumbledore’s Army because that’s the Ministry’s worst fear, isn’t it?”

Violet tried one more time, knowing it would probably be futile, a word which here means “filled with futility.”

What I want to see from tomorrow’s Oscar nominations
The Oscar nominations will be announced tomorrow morning, and while I try every year to predict the winners I won’t even attempt to try to guess the nominees. However, I do have some things I would like to see when the nominations are announced tomorrow. I’ve divided these into two categories: actual, genuine “Possibilities” and “Not a Chance”. I may be hopeful, but I try to keep things at least moderately realistic. I’ve left out some of the more obvious ones, like Gravity for Best Picture, Director, Actress and all of the technical categories, simply because I think that they’re foregone conclusions and I’m not really sweating them. Come back later tomorrow after the nominations have been announced (and I’ve gotten home and can actually write about them) for some quick thoughts on who made the cut and who was left out. In the meantime, read on for the names and films I would like to hear Chris Hemsworth read outtomorrow. Continue reading
