Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

[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.

You know, I was just about to post this sentence: Heh, and when was the last time any artist's work was universally anythinged around here?

And then I realized, someone would probably come up with an example.

I, for one, haven't given up on reading RH. I marked some of the recs upthread.

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

Huh. No one called me and Kristen to do commentary on Safety Canary. How odd.

It says "Cocktail Bunny" is noirish. How noir is it, on a scale from How the Grinch Stole Christmas to Sunset Boulevard ?

I've not seen either flick. It has many noir elements in the final act, especially.

I recommend Sunset Boulevard. The other one, not so much.

You're talking the Ron Howard one, right, not the Chuck Jones?
