  • Orphan Black’s Tatiana Maslany: Putting the special in special effects.* (x

    *Thanks to OB visual effects geniuses at Intelligent Creatures for making multiple Tatiana Maslanys possible!

    Having existed in the dark ages of time in which when things weren’t real on TV you could tell, because the lightbulb that made up the engine of, say, the space ship, was obviously a lightbulb; or the wires that made the magic happen were visible… Sometimes it’s a little freaky to me to realise how much of what I see on TV and movies is not physical props and make up but instead entirely computer generated.

    It is pretty damn incredible.

  • Great moments in history my life:

    That moment tonight as I came inside where I realised that I’d spent the evening relaxing, watching the sunset, sat in a deck-chair… on the deck that I built.

    I have a deck, on which to put deck-chairs on.

    The deck-chairs at last meet their names.

    That is awesome.

    This hurts my soul

    That last kid in green speaks the damn truth

    I feel so old right now

    look at all these little brats (besides the last kid he’s smart)- GAMEBOY WAS THE SHIT.

    oh you poor kids

    really guys? as if y’all wouldnt have said the same thing about a room sized computer when you were that age? its a different generation of course theyre gonna be like they they were born in a time where one small thing carries all the games youd wanna play, like get your heads out of your asses ya ignorant fucks

    lmfao excuse you my mother worked on base and showed me a room sized computer when i was like 10, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS THE COOLEST FUCKING SHIT I HAD EVER SEEN

    TOTALLY! My dad worked in IT and we had a Commodore PET at home – and then at work they had server rooms, back when Server rooms were air-conditioned temples of the computing gods. When everything had blinking lights and tape-spools spinning, and hard disks were the size of a large stack of dinner plates.

    And I saw it

    And it was good.

    And I see CTL kit now, occasionally, and I still feel like this:

    obtumblr, is this why you’ve been so quiet lately? bc you’ve been planning how to create a clone club meltdown with the renewal news? so cheeky

    orphanblack:

    Yep. We were nervous about spilling the news by mistake.

    …and that’s not the only news we have planned this week.

    Stay tuned, #CloneClub.

    This is without a doubt the best TV show I have seen for….probably, ever. It’s got such incredible characterisation and story development; and the best actor to grace the TV screen – phenomenal versatility and subtlety. If anyone’s not seen it, sit your ass down and watch it.

    When I am in a school or work environment, I have cheap pens on me specifically to loan people, so I’m not giving them one of my good pens.

    I have to jealously guard even the cheap pens at work. Otherwise, I wind up with no pens.

    I now have a fountain pen (oh, I love my fountain pen), and can validly decline to lend it to people: ‘oh, the nib’s worn to the way I hold it’…

  • We’re gonna get married!

    So, although they managed to keep this astonishingly quiet, one of my friends pointed this out to me – we can convert our Civil Partnership into a Marriage, for free, in December. As can anyone in the UK with a civil partnership.

    Linky to independent article about it

    So, we need to ring up and organise it, but finally we’ll be married; which is what I got down on one knee and asked my beloved 6 years ago…
