2015 Hugo Awards Best Professional Artist: Reviewing C Reid

rebekahgolden3 Comments

Carter Reid

I just downloaded the Hugo Nominee packet today and it has given me more insight into the nominees. Artists even self curated some works to be judged in the Best Professional Artist category. Unfortunately there was nothing there from Cater Reid. This is disappointing because I’m not sure what he wants to be judged based on. All I could find was a web comic.

Yeah, yeah “Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form” I know. It’s a movie. Everything else up is a movie. When they put a Broadway show up I will list the name as Best Dramatic Presentation. In the meanwhile it’s movies.

2015 Hugo Awards Best TV Show: Reviewing Doctor Who

rebekahgolden2 Comments

I knew a guy who was a virgin and didn’t know what the big deal about sex was. Then he had sex. Then he wanted to have sex all the time. I’ve watched a few episodes of Doctor Who but I admit while I liked it I didn’t know what the big deal was. Now I know what the big deal is. So maybe it’s like the person who has had sex but has never had the sort of mind blowing sex that makes you realize what sex is all about. (Pause while I consider my mother reads this blog then move along because writing.)

This episode was amazing. And that’s kind of annoying because I was pretty content not being a raving Whovian. I mean already with the Classic Star Trek teen years, Buffy, Firefly, Supernatural. I’m becoming a walking billboard for the borderland between fandom and resisting fandom.

2015 Hugo Awards Best TV Show: Reviewing Game of Thrones

rebekahgolden1 Comment

It should be noted that while I watched the first season of Game of Thrones I did stop watching it some time ago. The reason is very similar to something a coworker said today about not watching movies, “It just doesn’t seem like a good use of my time.” Now, this shouldn’t imply that I make the best of every moment or even that I don’t misuse my time. I just don’t see the point of this sweeping epic outside of some catharsis and the catharsis isn’t there for me.

So to catch up on Game of Thrones in the quickest and least painful way possible I watched Screen Junkie’s Idiot’s Guide to Game of Thrones. This gave me a quick overview of plot developments since I last watched an episode and was thankfully free. To watch the particular episode nominated for a Hugo Award I bought it on Amazon Prime. Dear Hugos, you need to figure out a way to get kickbacks from the stuff I purchase just for you, love, me.

I put a few of the Hugo Award nominees on hold at the library and yesterday Ms Marvel arrived. Can we just note how awesome libraries are for a moment?
