watch it: “Buttercups”
(via Jezebel)
bias update: May 21
obsession: Doctor Who (because it now goes to 11) boyfriend: Robert Downey Jr. in Iron Man 2 (because I’d love to hear him say to me, “You complete me,” even if that line from the trailer didn’t make it into the movie) psyched: The A-Team (because I still love it when a plan comes together) … more…
screencap Friday: what the flick? #124
Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from a DVD… and just to make things harder for 2010, this one is from a TV show which may or may not be in my collection (it’s sooo much easier to do screengrabs now that Netflix is streaming to my computer). Guess the TV show — you don’t … more…
