Proof-reading Rainbow

So I backed the Reading Rainbow Kickstarter yesterday because.... Reading Rainbow, fuck yeah!

So I have been getting the backer updates (only 2 so far) which have mostly been sort of excited flaily disbelief. I think LeVar Burton almost cried in the first little video.

I think the second one (both were written by the RR CEO) could have used a second pair of eyes though... It seems to be missing a word:

"My wife, Jane, heads up Customer Service for Reading Rainbow, and wants you to know that our email problems should be fixed by tomorrow. She won't let me come until I tell you that, because she feels horrible that we haven't been able to respond to more of you."

...

Best thing - from HopefulNebula on #Yuletide: i didn't think they'd be reading lysistrata!

(The missing word is clearly 'home' >.>)

In other news, I went and say Days of Future Past! \o/ It was fun!

There was an ad at the beginning from a bunch of male Hollywood actors talking about THE IMPORTANCE OF CONSENT! \o/ And men being responsible! It was a don't be a rapist video and it was lovely! \o/ It warmed my heart, it did :)

Then there was the trailer for the fake cops movie, which was utterly disgusting. Two bro cop-impersonators whose faces light up at the thought of 'intervening' in a domestic violence instance involving three young women? Disgusting. But oh ho, the tables are *hilariously* turned on our hapless wanna be white knights because two of them aren't even pretty - they are large and angry and violent, ha ha ha *puke*. Disgusting! /o\

But the movie was fun!

And now I need to go to bed. G'night!
