Dystopias should be insurgent. They should force readers to question who they are, what their society is like, and what they take for granted. A good dystopia will illuminate the horrors right before our eyes, and one can hope that if it does its job well, it will create empathy and humanity in world that is sorely lacking. — Paolo Bacigalupi, The Invisible Dystopia | Kirkus Book Reviews (via annaetc)

The Avengers movie should have been called Butts: An Action Film. There were so many good butts.

How do you find reactions from fans or kids to Loki’s character?
TOM HIDDLESTON: Mark Ruffalo’s son. I kind of dedicate my performance to his son, his ten-year old, because he was on set a lot. Joss Whedon and Kevin Feige, the producer, they were enormously supportive on set. They were very complimentary when they liked something that I was doing. I would do a take, and they would say, “Awesome. You got it. Let’s — “ And Kevin Feige would be like, “God, that was great. Let’s move on.” And you get on with the day. The days that Mark’s son was there, he was like, “Awesome job, Tom. We got it. Let’s move on.” Kevin would say the same thing, and then Mark’s son would say, “Oh, my God! Tom! That was incredible! That was the most awesome thing I have ever seen!” And I’m like, “I am doing this for you.” And, you know, there were days when Mark would come in with him just to watch, because he wanted to watch. He’d be like, “I’m sorry. We’re here again. He just loves
you.” And then you realize that that’s the power that these films can have.It’s such a beautiful thing.
It’s a really amazing privilege.

I wonder if things can happen too early or too late or if everything happens at exactly the right time. If so, how sad and beautiful. — Simon van Booy, ‘The Still but Falling World’ in The Secret Lives of People in Love. (via winterlief)
