Roe v. Wade

35th anniversary of the decision. For much more information, visit Planned Parenthood, and, if you can, kick in to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund.

Always remember, guys: If they can take away a woman's right and ability to choose what to do with her body, they can take away yours, too. You only think you're at the top of the food chain.

ETA: Hecate tells us of an alternative to going to clinics.

Oscar™ Nominations

Here. I am delighted that Ratatouille was nominated not only as expected for Best Animated Feature, but also for Best Original Screenplay.

Thoughts?

DVD Day

Not much at all today, apart from Torchwood: The Complete First Season. Seasons of The Odd Couple, Barney Miller, ER, Hawaii-Five-Oh, and Banacek, if you want any of those.

However.

Either May 6 or 8 -- seems to be kinda up in the air -- all you collectors who didn't snag it the first time around will be able to get your hands on a reasonably priced copy of the hitherto-exceedingly-rare DVD of MST3K: The Movie.

Thanks to gorn_captain posting in mst3k for the heads-up.

Which MST3K episodes do you have on disk? And which do you want?

Heath Ledger Dies

Wow. (and an extra "wow" for the four other people on my FList who apparently posted it simultaneously.) Found dead at the age of 28. (The story I link to said 27, but they've fixed it.)

First, sadness. Condolences to his family and friends. Second, wow. He had already made a big splash in such films as A Knight's Tale and Brokeback Mountain (only got a freakin' Oscar nomination for that one), and Batman: The Dark Knight -- with Ledger as the Joker -- is in post-production.
