What’s the future of having multiple personas online?

Casablanca: The Best Love Movie Ever—And Possibly the Best Movie, Period

Every year I watch Casablanca and Singin’ In the Rain. I need them. They make me happy. Singin’ In the Rain is just silly, lighthearted and flawlessly directed, sometimes visually surreal and abstract, always a joy. Casablanca has it all and, on top of that, it’s the perfect lovers movie. It’s also the perfect heroic…

Alien Torture Porn Is The Only Good Part Of Torchwood

This scene from last night’s Torchwood almost made me puke and cry, it was that good. The whole business with the callous humans abusing yet another alien visitor for financial gain was incredibly well done, and really horrifying. It was one of the best examples of a humans-are-the-real-monsters story ever. Unfortunately, the other half of…
