Who, like me, had heard about/read Ender’s Game before the movie started to begin production? 

meeee

we read it for school a while back. I liked it. AND I’m pretty excited about the cast. Specifically Asa Butterfield…

I read it when I was in high school (ten years ago, in fact).  I’m excited to see how they’re going to make the shower fighting scenes NOT creepy and sexual because Orson Scott Card is a homophobic pedophile.

Yeah I just read about him being homophobic. Is he legit a pedophile? like is there proof behind this or is it just because of that scene? Which was really weird, I couldn’t even really imagine it while reading. In my mind I gave them underwear soooooo they’ll probably give them underwear.

Card is brilliant at writing characters that he doesn’t actually personally agree with. So you’ll read all this stuff in his books that you’ll be like “what?” but he’s just a very very skilled writer. 

As for that specific scene - he was basing this in a military setting. People in military settings (as I understand it) get pretty comfortable with their bodies. So it didn’t stand out to me as being weird, because it all seemed logical, considering the circumstances. But no, he’s not a pedophile and I’ve never even heard that accusation before.

As for the homophobe comment  - he’s said some things that, especially taken out of context, can seem harsh. However he’s also written extensively on the subject (I always recommend his comments in his review of Mamma Mia! on Hatrack.com) and explained his views in more depth than I see a lot of fans being aware of. I’m not defending him necessarily, just advocating full research before throwing names around.

So while there’s nothing on this tag

Let me just post and say how I excited I am for the freaking movie before the hype. AHHHHHHH. It was such a good book I hope they don’t trash it. I don’t think they can trash it lol, it’s just that good. While I was able to guess some of the twists, it was a good thing because it was EXACTLY what I wanted to happen. The last twist/chapter just freaking blew my mind though. I haven’t read the rest of the series, but can you blame me? It looks like this:

Did I mention Asa Butterfield (aka Hugo or Mini-Sherlock, etc.) will be playing Ender? I’M IN LOVE WITH HIM, IT’S SO PERFECT. Bean looks amazing. Petra looks amazing. Alai gets and A+. Dink wasn’t black in my head but the fact that he’s black makes it that much better, he’s pretty cute too. Bernard’s good.

Even people who I’m not impressed with I can’t wait to see. (Bonzo being Moses Arias? Eh who knows he could be fabulous. I never imagined Anderson as a woman but I supposed she could be. Abigail Breslin as Valentine? Ehhh well that could work. Peter is all blonde hair and blue eyed and not what I expected but he could be evil.

My body is ready. November 1st, 2013 here I come (crap….that’s a long time)

but david

I think it’s awesome Matt is doing it.

But.

There was a pretty specific reason why the fans wanted Tennant. So. I don’t know. Sad.

And let us drool over the masterpiece that is Sybil’s hair.

The Fields of Trenzalore: Martha Jones

lupinatic:

The thing that makes Martha Jones shine so much compared to other NewWho companions, to me at least, is how she was the only one to deal with her end-of-season menace without superpowers.

Rose took the power of the TARDIS, became a literal deux es machina and solved everything…

There are certain moments in life that you never forget. Like when I held Manny in my arms for the very first time. I was nervous, I didn’t know what I was doing. I was so excited to see him grow up. And the more he becomes the little man I know today, the more I know: I would do it all over again. Which is good, because I’m going to do it all over again. Turns out that I wasn’t car sick. I’m pregnant.
