Fic
- The Dancing Game by bwinter (Van Helsing, Gabriel/Dracula) waaaay before the movie, lyrical and hot.
- The Mayflower by viva_gloria (PotC, J/W) Present day AU done brilliant, some awesome descriptions of sailing!
- Natural Progression by chash (Boy Meets World, Shawn/Cory) Oh. OH. ::clutches heart and wibbles:: dude this is good, it's very real and very plain in that way that seems poetic.
- Canteen Food by daegaer (Hitchhiker's Guide) On eating habits of aliens...::gigglesnort::
- Teaching Skills by harukami (Naruto, Sasu/Naru/Saku) Because she NAILS the characterization. She nails it like WHOA.
- Pervert; a parable by Delial (Naruto, Sasu/Naru/Saku) See this? This is rhythm, but brought and bent to the demands of humor, and it is brill.
- Interlude by Sailor Comet (Naruto, Sasu/Naru/Saku) Sucker. Punch. Holy SHIT. o.o

- Roger Ebert write Neat things on fans and being a fan.
- Speaking of Ebert, in his review of Mr. And Mrs. Smith:

As the movie opens, they're in marriage counseling; the spark has gone out of their relationship. On a typical day, they set off separately to their jobs: He to kill three or four guys, she to pose as a dominatrix while snapping a guy's neck. Can you imagine Rock Hudson and Doris Day in this story? Gable and Lombard and Hepburn and Tracy have also been invoked, but given the violence in their lives, the casting I recommend is The Rock and Vin Diesel. In the opening scene, they could fight over who has to play Mrs. Smith.

Sorry. Lost my train of thought.
