Giving Me the Warm Squishies!

So there's this site I pimped out a few months back, Pajiba? In addition to great movie industry news, reviews and random lists, the site has this great, loyal fanbase who make hilarious comments. (Pajiba even has a weekly feature "Eloquent Elegance" where they countdown the 10 best comments of the week. Awesome.) At least once a week they have this feature called "Comment Diversion" where someone comes up with a topic or question, usually, but not exclusively, movie-related, and the commenters have free reign. It's always a good place to find some distracting, time-wasting discussion for the night or weekend.

I just got around to last Friday's comment diversion and the topic was: last really great compliment you either gave or got (or both). And reading through everyone's stories about the things that inspired them, got them past an insecurity, comfort them to this day, was really just heartwarming to read. In the world of entertainment reporting, reviewing and blogging, where so many of us are bonded by the things we actually hate together (you know what I'm talking about - who hasn't been part of a Twilight, or Sex and the City, or Nicholas Cage bashing community around here? Sometimes combined hatred is more fun than agreement!) it was really nice to read about people being the best versions of themselves, and knowing that sometimes what makes you feel like a more worthwhile person is genuinely complimenting someone else. If you feel like getting a dose of sentimental goodiness, here's the link: Pajiba Weekend Comment Diversion.

In other internet wanderings, how scary is this photo?



And it has nothing to do with the weapons. It's the combined angry eyebrows. Reminds me of the awesome episode of "Angel" where he was turned into a puppet and had to fight a whole bunch of other puppets possessed by demons with red eyes who used people as human puppets. That was scary. Although puppet Angel turning into a vampire was mostly just cool. Anyways, this photo's giving me nightmares already. Ernie is soooo going to kill me in my sleep!

Have a great night! I'm off to watch Greek and Gossip Girl! (Why, oh, why did the CW have to move GG to 9pm so that it's once again on at the same time as Greek?)
