Cutting for chitter-chatter about OPI, Jose Mourinho's firing, and the possibility that Dr Eva Carneiro might get her old job at Chelsea back. I realize that many people on my f-list/dwircle don't care about nail polish or football, hence the cut: ( Read more... )

Gakked from musesfool, great meta on Princess Leia. She was the great heroine of my pre-teen years, and the article helps explain why. And is a funny article, to boot. Just to be clear, this is an article about Princess Leia from the original trilogy with no evil spoilers for Carrie Fisher's role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Owing to complicated reasons, I probably won't see the movie until right after Christmas. Which means anybody who spoils me for any major plot points will be cut from my f-list/dwircle with immediate effect. I'm not a total spoilerphobe. If you want to squee or complain in general terms above the spoiler cut, I won't throw a tantrum. But please be at least a little bit careful, if you wish to avoid my wrath.

And a (very long, but still fascinating) article about Jose Mourinho down the years, gakked from someone on ontd_football.

Finally, does Monsieur Lazhar have a sad ending or a happy ending? I know it's a serious movie, but does it end on an uplifting or a depressing note? I'm considering spending some of my Christmas money on it (money I don't have yet, but that's a minor detail), but I can't handle movies with sad endings right now. I can get through a melancholy movie only if I know it all comes out in the wash, as opposed to "Rocks fall, everybody dies" and the like. I don't want to know the details, so please, if you've seen it, no spoilers, just "Yes, happy enough ending that Rain won't be crying hysterically," or "No, you will indeed be crying hysterically."

And now to bed.
