sovay: (Lord Peter Wimsey)
Posts are piling up on my desktop again. And this is not a week when I can devote hours to getting them all into internet-showable form, because on Friday morning [livejournal.com profile] derspatchel and I are taking a train to New York for the weekend. Of course, we went to see Iron Man 3 (2013) last night and I want to talk about that.

(I dreamed Rob was taking part in a reading of the original script for Lost Horizon (1937) and I thought this was a brilliant idea, especially if they restored the cut passages where Edward Everett Horton and Thomas Mitchell get drunk and ramble around Shangri-La together. Would someone who isn't me like to make this happen?)

Courtesy of a link-chain from [livejournal.com profile] kate_nepveu, the song that's been stuck in my head since Monday: The Magnetic Fields, "Andrew in Drag." Possibly it should be watched in conjunction with David Bowie's "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)."

Yes, I'm aware the new Jim Jarmusch not only stars Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston as lovers, but also John Hurt as vampire Christopher Marlowe. I've been tracking the progress of this movie since January; I saw the cast list and concluded it had been spontaneously generated out of the internet, possibly the Tumblrs of several people I know, and I'm not really sure anything I've learned since then has done much to change my mind.

A question for people who have been on multiple social media longer than me: Dreamwidth's import function seems to have stopped working, in that I have not been able to import comments from LJ for almost two weeks now. The page behaves normally when I start an import, then when it announces it's finished the comments are still not there. I use Dreamwidth to crosspost, but primarily as a backup for LJ, and it's never given me a problem before. Does anyone know what's going on?

Maybe there will be content later today.
