Just got back from seeing Milk...



Seriously one of the best movies I've seen this past year. I wish I could be more coherent about specifics but I can say that Sean Penn continues to be phenomenal and I was really impressed with the entire supporting cast (James Franco, Emile Hirsch and Josh Brolin). Also someone who stood out? Fellow Torontonian Alison Pill in one of her first big roles - others might remember her as the oldest daughter in Dan in Real Life. Gus Van Sant did a fantastic job with the film and paid tribute to a significant person (and piece) of history in an extremely powerful way. It's not a preachy film at all but obviously it does present a specific point of view (I think a lot of that is thanks to a fantastic script by first-timer Dustin Lance Black)...either way, when I got out of the film I wanted to protest against all human rights injustices (which says something about both the movie and myself - since I've been known to get involved in a cause of two).

Seriously - if you haven't seen it? Go now.

Hey Flist! Waz up?

I have a favour to ask and I know you intelligent ladies are the ones with the info!

I'm looking to find places to pimp/advertise my VM Fanfic Awards to try and draw in new nominations for the 4th Round and I'd love to put together a masterlist of communities and websites that I could contact. So far I really only have one for sure:

- VM Navigator

Any and ALL suggestions about other sites/comms would be VERY appreciated!

It's the second to last round of vampkiss' fantastic VK Awards...so get on over there and nominate your favourite Spuffyverse stories!

There are a lot of amazing stories within this fandom and it's a great way to show the talented writers how much you enjoy what they do and how much you appreciate all of their hard work :)
