Greatest Moments from 1,500 Ellen Show Episodes

May 20, 2012

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell’s fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan’s men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you’d return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

Mad Girl’s Love Song by Sylvia Plath (via myshootingstar)

What a beautiful Villanelle. I remember reading this in year 12 when we studied her unabridged journal, with such an inspiring teacher. Dr. Sloan.

Reporter: I have a question to Robert and to Scarlett. Firstly to Robert, throughout Iron Man 1 and 2, Tony Stark started off as a very egotistical character but learns how to fight as a team. And so how did you approach this role, bearing in mind that kind of maturity as a human being when it comes to the Tony Stark character, and did you learn anything throughout the three movies that you made?

And to Scarlett, to get into shape for Black Widow did you have anything special to do in terms of the diet, like did you have to eat any specific food, or that sort of thing?

Scarlett: How come you get the really interesting existential question, and I get the like, “rabbit food” question?

The respect given to you if you’re a man in the entertainment business, and the respect given to you if you’re a woman in the entertainment business: all perfectly summed up in one idiotically thought out line of questioning.

You know, I always did like Scarlett Johannson.

Dat side-eye.

Let me just hug you forever Miss Johannson.

scarlett you are excellent you are most excellent

What a babein lady.

“I know what my family is worth.”

A beautiful moment on the ABC’s Q&A last night as Penny Wong responded to Joe Hockey’s reiteration of his view that a child is better off with heterosexual parents

Chills.

It’s so excellent when people are so obviously owned by perfectly worded questions.

This is my member for parliament (Joe Hockey), who holds the strongest Liberal seat in the country. I wish he could see how much his words hurt people from his own electorate.

As to this recent “children are better off with heterosexual parents” argument the anti-gay marriage lobby has started, I really don’t think it will help their case. Firstly, marriage isn’t about children, it’s about a union between two people and is not a prerequisite for having children. Secondly, when you make your argument against gay marriage directed at the value of gay people as parents and the importance of their families as viewed by the state you are only making the case for equality stronger.

I have a feeling in my bones that change is coming sooner that I expected.
