A Little Something Awesome - BuzzFeed on YouTube

Not everything that BuzzFeedVideos on YouTube does is great. Some of it is actually pretty dumb. But then they go and put out some really fantastic educational gems, going above and beyond their occasional health tips. The latest of these is the following video which shows what Disney Princesses would have looked like in real life, including accurate historical dress and a few bits of trivia:

Even more interesting, though, was another similar video that they released recently chronicling how the "ideal woman" has changed throughout the years, featuring one of the most diverse groups of models ever assembled:

I found both videos to be very interesting, informative, and impressing, and that's enough for me to call them awesome. What do you think?

A Little Something Awesome - Fallon Does Fresh Prince!

There has been a distinct lack of overt awesome lately. You all should know by now that I'll claim "awesome" at the drop of a slightly interesting hat, but seriously I haven't seen any awesome movies lately, or heard any really awesome news, or anything, and after the huge disappointment that was the last play of Sunday's Superbowl, the (kinda only okay) movie TV spots (they weren't even really trailers, guys, how disappoint!) which cropped up amongst the commercials are forever tainted for me, as they aired during that game.

So here I am, thinking that I'll actually have to start keeping my word and posting my own content here just to get an update out, and then I see this pop up on YouTube! Enjoy, and come back (hopefully sooner rather than) later for another Something Awesome.

A Little Something Awesome - Fallout vs. Skyrim

As an apology for doing uh, well, nothing here so far this week (sorry), here is a great video posted to andrewmfilms on YouTube just yesterday which pits the protagonists of two really great Bethesda games, the post-apocalyptic Fallout 3 and the fantastical The Elder Scrolls Five: Skyrim, against each other. It doesn't quite go the way I wanted it to, but it is still an amazing display of talent, and of respect for two iconic video games. Take a look, and come back later for another Something Awesome.

TV Reviews - Doctor Who Christmas Special 2014: Last Christmas

So I’m basically throwing my very recently decided-upon schedule out the window by now, but at least I’m adhering to the spirit of the schedule by updating when I can. So yeah, Last Christmas by Steven Moffet.

Movie Reviews - Into the Woods

It's a little late, but here, finally, is my weekend review!

I mentioned in a recent post that I really enjoy musicals. One of my favorite movies is Mary Poppins. I have a favorite musical, Disney’s Bedknobs and Broomsticks. I cried heroic manly man tears both of the times that I saw Les Mis in theaters. I don’t get the chance to see musicals on stage nearly as often as I’d like, but I have seen stage productions of Fame and Les Mis and loved them both. I also desperately want to see Wicked. As a fan of musicals, I openly acknowledge that there is a stark difference between a musical made for the silver screen, and musicals adapted to the silver screen from the stage. After the success of Les Mis, I expect to see a resurgence of movie adaptations of stage productions, and while I’m looking forward to this, I accept that this is sometimes going to be a bad idea.

I also love fairy tales. I am a dude, and I am proud that I love fairy tales. On these notes, Into the Woods.

A Little Something Awesome - Musicals

Well, it's that time of year, the time when studios release musicals for Christmas, even though they have nothing to do with Christmas. Which is fine with me. I love musicals. Expect reviews of a few musicals here, soon. However, a bit disappointingly, the two musicals to hit theaters this holiday season, Into The Woods and Annie are getting, uh, mixed reviews. And that's being fair. I haven't seen either yet, but the prospects aren't encouraging. So let's look at something that is encouraging, these videos which I stumbled across online recently of cast members from Grease, one of the most iconic musicals of all time, reuniting and performing together! They can be found a few places online, as well as on, I believe, the 2002 edition of the DVD version of the film. Check them out, check out the movie, and come back later for another Something Awesome.

Follow-Up Awesome - Gotham

So hey, guys, I'm back doing stuff, and just in time for the new TV viewing period! So rather than what I was going to post today, which I totally didn't irresponsibly not write down and then forget what it was or forget to work on it at all (probably), let's talk again about Gotham.
