Variety | Natalie Portman to star in and produce “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.”:

“Portman will star in and produce “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies,” a film that is based on the bestselling book written by Seth Grahame-Smith and Austen. Lionsgate will finance and distribute. Quirk Books published the tome.

Though Austen’s name is on the book, Grahame-Smith took the liberty of adding bloodthirsty flesh-eating zombies to the mix.

Portman will produce through her handsomecharlie shingle with Annette Savitch, plus Darko Films’ Richard Kelly, Sean McKittrick and Ted Hamm.

Described as an expanded version of the Austen classic, the book tells the timeless story of a woman’s quest for love and independence amid the outbreak of a deadly virus that turns the undead into vicious killers.Portman will play feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet, who is distracted from her quest to eradicate the zombie menace by the arrival of the arrogant Mr. Darcy.”

Natalie Portman and zombies, I can’t think of any other two things I’d rather have in one film.

Perfection.

I’m sick of banging with your skeleton, you were gorgeous ‘til you gave out all your skin. (Oh wait, oh wait, before I let you go, there’s a thread or two still left between our souls. But you went messing with the gods and never fell away; you’re still burning off the angel on your face.)

Fuck, this band and their twisted lyrics will be the death of me. Do yourself a favor: go here www.weareempires.com and steal all their music. Or miss out on some good shit, you know, whatever floats your boat.

“

Third, there is a major issue of integrity at stake here and Liberals should reflect very deeply on it. We have an Opposition whose current leadership dismisses the Howard Government’s ETS policy as being just a political ploy. We have an Opposition Leader who has in the space of a few months held every possible position on the issue, each one contradicting the position he expressed earlier. And finally we have an Opposition which negotiated amendments to the Rudd Government’s ETS, then reached agreement on those amendments and then, a week later, reneged on the agreement.

Many Liberals are rightly dismayed that on this vital issue of climate change we are not simply without a policy, without any prospect of having a credible policy but we are now without integrity. We have given our opponents the irrefutable, undeniable evidence that we cannot be trusted.

Time for some straight talking on climate change > Malcolm Turnbull MP > Malcolm's Blogs

Time for some straight talking on climate change > Malcolm Turnbull MP > Malcolm's Blogs:

buyhercandy:

Former Federal Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull fights back.

While a shadow minister, Tony Abbott, was never afraid of speaking bluntly in a manner that was at odds with Coalition policy.

So as I am a humble backbencher I am sure he won’t complain if I tell a few home truths about the farce that the Coalition’s policy, of lack of policy, on climate change has descended into.

First, lets get this straight. You cannot cut emissions without a cost. To replace dirty coal fired power stations with cleaner gas fired ones, or renewables like wind let alone nuclear power or even coal fired power with carbon capture and storage is all going to cost money.

To get farmers to change the way they manage their land, or plant trees and vegetation all costs money.

Somebody has to pay.

So any suggestion that you can dramatically cut emissions without any cost is, to use a favourite term of Mr Abbott, “bullshit.” Moreover he knows it.

…

Second, as we are being blunt, the fact is that Tony and the people who put him in his job do not want to do anything about climate change. They do not believe in human caused global warming. As Tony observed on one occasion “climate change is crap” or if you consider his mentor, Senator Minchin, the world is not warming, its cooling and the climate change issue is part of a vast left wing conspiracy to deindustrialise the world.

Now politics is about conviction and a commitment to carry out those convictions. The Liberal Party is currently led by people whose conviction on climate change is that it is “crap” and you don’t need to do anything about it. Any policy that is announced will simply be a con, an environmental figleaf to cover a determination to do nothing.

We went to Big W yesterday, in the search of a Christmas tree, since all our Christmas-related things are back in Melbourne. We found a tree, put the box in the trolley, as well as decorations and other things. When we passed through the checkout, the checkout girl scanned everything but the Christmas tree box. Christmas tree for free, excellent.

Today I attemped to borrow a few books from the local library. I am new to this library, and assumed I could go in and fill out a form with my details and be on my way. The librarian told me she needed two forms of ID which proved my local address, eg. a bank statement or utilities bill. I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t readily carry my mail around with me. I’ve never had to prove my ID at a library before either.

Turned out I only had my health care card, but because it expires at the end of December she wouldn’t count that. My drivers license didn’t count since it’s a Victorian license. She asked me rudely why didn’t I just get a Queensland license, but since I’m going back to Melbourne at the end of January there is no point.

I left with no books. I gave up trying to persuade her.

Why so hard, Queensland libraries?
