#comics

Women read comics. Anyone at all engaged in social media knows this. Women read comics and are a driving force behind fandom. I think I could call them the driving force behind fandom and put up a convincing argument. Just think about it: what fandoms have driven America crazy in the last decade? Could anyone dissuade me from saying that they were Harry Potter, Twilight and the Hunger Games? “Avatar” may have put butts in theater seats, but you don’t hear about it… ever. No one is immersed in the world of “Avatar” except James Cameron and people who enjoy wearing Na’vi Zentai suits. “The Avengers” was pretty darn huge and, if Tumblr is any indication, a whopping portion of the people driving that fandom online do not possess a Y chromosome. Women engage in fandom to levels that men do not. When women get behind something, their sheer numbers and passion force it into the mainstream. That’s why you can name the actor who plays that werewolf kid in “Twilight” and probably sing at least the chorus to one Justin Bieber song. What do tween boys like? I have no clue. Sports? Probably sports.

and yet men remain the most marketed demographic for just about everything.

I’m pretty sure the only men who spend more time thinking about DC than women on Tumblr are the men who actually work there.

Breathe Me; Sia

Help, I have done it again, I have been here many times before.
Hurt myself again today, and the worst part is there’s no one else to blame.
Be my friend, hold me. Wrap me up, unfold me.
I am small, and needy. Warm me up, and breathe me.

What happened…when the object apparently responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs hit the Earth 65 million years ago?

“First, there was a gigantic fireball brighter than the Sun as the comet plunged to its death, not with a whimper, but a bang. One casualty was the ozone layer, which temporarily vanished. Seconds after the big comet first encountered Earth’s upper atmosphere, it carved out a crater - now buried - 200 kilometers wide and 25 kilometers deep. All that debris shot up into the sky and came back again, all over the Earth. No place would have been spared a hit of at least a tiny particle.

More…

It’s fascinating to think that if the asteroid never hit Earth, dinosaurs may very well still rule the planet and humans may have never even evolved. This seems pretty important when considering extraterrestrial life, and the hope that it’s intelligent.

NBC May Hold Off on Hannibal Renewal Decision

While NBC is announcing their new lineup Monday, they may hold off on making the final decision on whether to renew Hannibal.

#I KNEW IT #THIS IS WHY THEY’RE DOING THE ABBREVIATED NO-COMMERCIAL EPISODE NEXT WEEK #THAT’S GOING TO MAKE THEIR DECISION #EVERYONE PLEASE WATCH HANNIBAL LIVE NEXT WEEK #IT STARTS 15 MINUTES LATER THAN USUAL AND RUNS STRAIGHT THROUGH

I cannot stress how amazing this show is. Everything about the show (cinematography, acting, script etc) is so well done and fantastic. Everyone should give this show a chance and watch one episode or two or perhaps more. I know it may not seem like the “type” of show most people would watch (I didn’t think it would be my cup of tea initially either) but it is so much more than what you think it is.
