The world is so big, so complicated, so replete with marvels and surprises that it takes years for most people to begin to notice that it is, also, irretrievably broken. We call this period of research “childhood.”
There follows a program of renewed inquiry, often involuntary, into the nature and effects of mortality, entropy, heartbreak, violence, failure, cowardice, duplicity, cruelty, and grief; the researcher learns their histories, and their bitter lessons, by heart. Along the way, he or she discovers that the world has been broken for as long as anyone can remember, and struggles to reconcile this fact with the ache of cosmic nostalgia that arises, from time to time, in the researcher’s heart: an intimation of vanished glory, of lost wholeness, a memory of the world unbroken. We call the moment at which this ache first arises “adolescence.” The feeling haunts people all their lives.

“Take a long, lusty look at this new character poster featuring Magnus, which boasts the tagline: “An instrument of chaos.” The August 23 release marks actor Godfrey Gao’s American film debut, and he admitted to a few nerves during production when we visited him last year on the set. “There’s actually a really big pressure because I know there are a lot of fans out there, and everyone loves Magnus Bane, and I love Magnus Bane,” he said. “So I just wanted to play a sort of cool-looking Magnus Bane, but I also wanted to bring out the flamboyant side. The party side of Magnus Bane, so hopefully everybody can enjoy what I bring to you on screen.” If internet chatter means anything, Godfrey, you have nothing to worry about.” Hollywood CrushMagnus character poster from Hollywood Crush
More “Northhanger Abbey” cuteness. I rarely buy DVDs any longer, but for this adaptation I really should make an exception.

Best. Scene. Ever.
After climbing in fully clothed (and armed), she is overcome by the warm suds and confesses. To her, Bo is perfect. And her wasted heart will love Bo – until she has to look her in her eyes and deliver her as a bounty to her mystery employer. But then maybe Bo really is perfect. Her eyes are both brown and blue. Her heart is both strong and gentle. She is virtuous, yet a succubus. She shouldn’t even be real, but she is. Poor, poor Valkyrie. Sometimes when she likes someone, she has to make her go away.

A common note to myself. “Make better”
I write those exact words to myself in the margins of my stuff ALL THE TIME.
PAST SARAH: Make better.
PAST SARAH: Make actually funny.
PAST SARAH: Change to something else.
PAST SARAH: Add a thing.
PAST SARAH: Make hotter.
CURRENT SARAH: PAST SARAH, YOU’RE A JERK!
