Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh, I'm totally awaiting Garden State. It looks great.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

I want to slather Clive Owen in olive oil and eat him.

I have issues.

Apparently, as I thought I had a pretty good idea what you wanted to do with him, and this (points up) wasn't it.

Sue, have you seen Clive in Close Your Eyes?

Yes, I have seen the full Clive, so to speak. I just didn't think much of the rest of the movie, so I wasn't sure if it was worth it.

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

The Onion's review of Catwoman is pretty funny.

Able to leap around with feline grace, wear revealing leather outfits without shame, and improvise cat-themed puns, she is Catwoman, even though she bears little resemblance to the Catwoman from the Batman universe. It's like naming a movie Spider-Man because it's about a guy with eight legs who shoots silk out of his ass.

Of course, none of that would matter if the movie were any good, but it's not. Mononymical director Pitof cut his teeth on digital effects and music videos, and he directs Catwoman as though he was targeting the attention span of actual cats. He cuts rapidly, keeping the camera in constant motion lest viewers wander off in search of food or a quiet place to nap.

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

Apparently, as I thought I had a pretty good idea what you wanted to do with him, and this (points up) wasn't it.

Dude, you clearly weren't paying attention.

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

Clive Owne: is he a salad, or is he Something Else??

I took Burrell's meaning, but I had a fun detour into Silly Associations With Greasing Up A Thing One Likes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Greasing Up A Thing One Likes

Are we in Astroglide territory, or somewhere else?

No silly, we're in olive oil territory. Weren't you paying attention?

Hey -- Nutty said she was associating. Don't restrict her imagination.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

This would be an amusing conversation, except for the fact that Clive is MINE, so it's all very very moot.
