Like everyone else on Earth, I'm thoroughly stoked about the Superman trailer, and one reason that I haven't seen mentioned as much is, obviously casting the role is always going to be mostly about finding a guy with The Look who can also act, The Look is extremely important, but historically it seems like casting directors have focused on build and/or a certain type of facial bone structure, which is all well and good, but casting a guy who's 6'4" is a *fantastic* choice. There's something about that characteristic hunch of a man who's Big But Feels Weird About It that is so, so perfect for Clark. Just seeing him walk down the street a head taller than everyone else but looking like he absolutely Feels Weird About It does so much heavy lifting -- it's both genuinely who Clark is (hello, fellow human beings!) and perfectly lays bare how the secret identity works (your coworker is big and handsome and should by all rights be desirable, but he's still such a loser about it, the loser radiates from his core). It's just a great element of visual storytelling.

Additionally, I have now done some deeper research (Googled "Christopher Reeve height ") and discovered that Christopher Reeve was also 6'4", so that's probably a factor in why it feels so perfect to me. That's just how tall Superman actually is.

*It's getting to be that time of the year

i could NOT work with a Vulcan. it would end in a fist fight even though i have no chance of winning. “there’s no need to react emotionally” girl i am going to kill you with my teeth. i understand why Bones is Like That. i would be too.

i couldn’t work with a vulcan because i’d be like “do you like me?” and they’d give me some bs back “‘like’ is a subjective word. if you’re asking if i feel emotion for you, i must inform you that would be illogical for one such as me” and then i’d be in love and try to kiss them and then hr would have have to be called

my cat Meatball’s hanukkah sweater started kinda coming off, so my girlfriend went to fix it, and as she did so she said to him, in her most tender and maternal voice, “aww, is your shirt coming off? whore”

And who's the guy he's sitting on

Apparently Judi Dench got bored one day and they created a Les Mis barricade character for her in  May 2004 for just one performance.

Holy shit that must have  been hilarious to see.

Here’s a picture:

Dame Judi Dench in Les Mis (May 2004)

“As the show started, the announcement was made: ‘At tonight’s performance the role of Javert will be played by Nic Greenshields, the role of Enjolras will be played by Alexis James, and in Act Two in the barricade scene Dame Judi Dench will appear as Madam Lafarge’.

“And, indeed, Dame Judi appeared in a suitably drab costume and mob-cap. She handed some ammunition up the barricade; she helped tie Javert to the chair; she was then hit by a flying bullet and sank dramatically over a table and was then helped offstage by one of the chorus. In total - say just under two minutes onstage!

“Dame Judi is appearing in the theatre next door and apparently has some 45 minutes between scenes. Yesterday she popped next door and said it would be fun if she could walk on at the start of the barricade scene since she had the time available and is a great fan of ‘Les Mis’. They had a quick five minute rehearsal between shows yesterday and tonight - on she went.” (source including more photos)

That is the best thing I’ve ever heard.

real things in real life may be upsetting and scary but fear not! there are an abundant number of fictional things which are upsetting and scary to think about instead <3

hes the only one who understood the assignment. Shakespeare is supposed to feel like this.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but it's time to take your 12 partridges, 22 turtle doves, 30 french hens, 36 calling birds, 42 geese a-laying, and 42 swans a-swimming out of the freezer.

god I would be UNSTOPPABLE if I was capable of consistently initiating tasks. just you wait. you'll be waiting a while but just you wait

putting [gender] dni on your blog on tumblr feels a lot like going to a rave and asking them to turn on the lights and confiscate all the drugs and alcohol and have quiet reading time. like do u know where you are and what these people believe

Sound on to hear a kid being very excited about nature (no screaming), a dad being a good dad, and most importantly how quiet an owl flies.

Because you've probably heard about how an owl's feathers have evolved for silent flying, but it doesn't sink in until you "hear" an owl fly for yourself.
