[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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Trying to think of another movie where the heroine or female lead is forced to wear something ridiculous and then spend the rest of the flick having to fight in heels and a dress.

Well, on the subject of Princess Leia, while she was as liable to yell at a villain as quail from him, she did spend the entire first movie desperately in need of a bra. So perhaps being forced to wear something else was actually a good thing. I was afraid she was going to put her own eye out. (I know, I know, fashions of the times. But, I mean really. That was the last time Lucas ever failed to provide excessive structure and elaboration in his movies, don't you think?)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I had heard that for the first SW flick Lucas insisted Leia have her breasts taped or bound or something, as he didn't want excess distracting motion going on.

Personally, I don't think I've ever noticed the Leia boobage bounceage.

Edited for editing.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Ooh! Can we use a T-test!? Can we? Can we? Can we?

These are somehow sexy words.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Spielberg was married to Amy Irving--or breaking up with her--when he did Doom. Filming of ToD was actually where he and Kate Capshaw, now Mrs. Spielberg, met.

Actually, Doom was released in 1984 and his marriage to Irving ran from 1985-1989, with him marrying Kapshaw in 1991. It may well have been where he met Kate, but his entire first marriage came after the filming.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I bow to superior knowledge. He and Irving were an item long before they married, though, weren't they?

Quote check. I need a sig line. And also a hug.

"...waiting for notes...not fine...growing a tumor..."

Does anyone recall the line? I need it as a security blanket at the moment. (I'm waiting for notes.)

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

I can't help with the quote, but consider yourself hugged.

((jengod))

I hope everything is ok or gets better.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

This, Jen?

Tim Minear: Can anyone else tell I don't have any scripts due and that I'm waiting for notes on my "Moon" outline?

Laura: Do you recall what that being able to breathe thing felt like?

Tim Minear: What are you talking about? I'm waiting for notes. I'm not breathing, I'm growing a tumor.
