From EW:

Greendale may not have closed its doors for good after all: Hulu is currently in talks with Sony Pictures TV for a sixth season of the recently cancelled Community, a source close to the show tells EW. (Deadline first reported the news.) Sony and Hulu aren’t commenting, and another source stressed caution about such a deal, but a proposed plan would likely include a 13-episode new season of the community college meta-comedy, with creator Dan Harmon in the fold. If by chance an agreement were reached, it would push the show past the 100-episode milestone (it’s at 97), and, of course, bring it one crucial step closer to fulfilling fans’ rally cries of “six seasons and a movie.”

From the website:

TransProse is the first iteration of a program that finds different emotions throughout different novels and programmatically creates music based on those values. 

TransProse reads in the text of a novel and determines densities of eight different emotions (joy, sadness, anger, disgust, anticipation, surprise, trust, and fear) and two different states (positive or negative) throughout the novel. The musical piece chronologically follows the novel (broken up into beginning, early middle, late middle, and end parts, with four measures representing each of these sections). It uses the emotion density data to determine the tempo, key, notes, octaves, etc. for the piece depending on different rules and parameters.

IT'S LIKE HE KNEW IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY.

Crying all over my computer, and yes, I'm going to pledge my birthday money as soon as I deposit my check.

...that Lifetime is going to go ahead and adapt If There Be Thorns, Seeds of Yesterday, AND My Sweet Audrina. (No word on Garden of Shadows.)

Guess I'd better GET READING.

Here's Jeff Bridges, see the rest at Io9:

At this point, the only thing I'm finding remotely exciting about this movie is the size of Jeff Bridges' eyebrows. Because they LOOK AMAZING in this picture.

A) Donald Glover! Jennifer Coolidge! And according to IMDb, Burn Gorman and Megan Mullally, too!

B) It looks like funny-if-generic family slapstick, and I have no doubt that I will eventually watch it when it comes to Netflix Streaming.

C) BUT WHY ON EARTH WOULD THEY SAY IT WAS BASED ON THE BOOK? BECAUSE NO.

Heh. I've had this one on repeat for days.

ETA: Does that widget only work if you have a Spotify account? If so, annoying! If you DON'T have a Spotify account, I also found it up at MySpace, of all places.

[VIDCON] CONTINUES TO NOT HAVE STANDARDS, POLICIES, A CODE OF CONDUCT, WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT TO CALL IT--- NOT EVEN THAT PHONE NUMBER GREEN TALKED ABOUT.

Oh, I thought, it's just not on the Vidcon website and while that may be troubling when it comes to findability and transparency, there is something, right?

Wrong.

You'll want to click through and read the whole thing, because a) IMPORTANT, and b) there have been updates.

Me: I DON'T KNOOOOOW, THEY'RE JUST SO AWESOME AND THEY'RE MAKING ME HAPPY.

Josh: I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR BRAIN.
