Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I was thinking the same thing about politics, Robin.

Caroline at Whedonesque posted these pics of Peter Coyote. Hello, Virgil "Web" Webster

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Hmmm, Peter Coyote's voice...

I think my first introduction to him was in Polanski' "Bitter Moon". He made an impression.

::checks IMDb:: Waitaminute. No. I'd seen him earlier in that Bette David & Shelley Long thing. The dude has been prolific.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Egad, Peter Coyote and Adam Baldwin? And it's Tim's baby? Hard to believe, but I'm actually going to watch tv again.

Heh. Was it also your introduction to Hugh Grant and Kristen Scott Thomas? Kind of a strange movie to encounter any of them for the first time.

Although I'd already encountered Hugh in LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM, which was actually stranger.

I'd seen Grant in a bunch of movies before then. In "Maurice" and "Impromptu", I think. KST--yeah, I think "Bitter Moon" was my first exposure to her. It was decidedly odd to see them again in "Four Weddings and a Funeral" afterward.

Ah, Lair of the White Worm....

I keep hearing about this movie. t runs off to check Arrrgggh! It's a Ken Russell! Run for your lives!

It's Ken Russell's tribute to Hammer movies, pretty much. No real-life composers were harmed in the making of this movie.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

In this Onion interview, Hugh Grant talks about working with Roman Polanski and Ken Russell.

Oh, that's a terrific interview. Thanks for the link!

Now, Ken Russell is terrific in the mornings. Then he has quite a... "French" lunch, and in the afternoon he's a fascinating director. I had to do a bit in Lair Of The White Worm where I had to pick up a sword and cut someone in half, as one does in a Ken Russell film. And I said, "You know, it doesn't feel quite comfortable doing it this way." And his directorial response was, [slurs speech] "Well, fuck how it fuckin' feels. Do it how I showed you, you fuckin' cunt!" Which is not classic Ingmar Bergman direction.
