Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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

it was just like that Simpsons episode where Homer keeps going back in time and inadvertently altering the future by stepping on flowers and lizards and such, but, y'know, in all seriousness

Wrong butterfly!

I read the spoilers for it, and ... maybe if it was someone other than Ashton. Real actors might have made the difference.

Strawberry disappointment.

I'm thinking of a film from maybe the late 80's with a battleship and time travel. Philadelphia Experiment maybe?

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

Yeah. (But it was a cruiser.)

Also, The Final Countdown in which a modern US Navy aircraft carrier gets sent to Hawaii on Dec 6, 1941. But I didn't see that one.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Ah, point. And granted, T3 had a pretty ballsy ending, but it wasn't as great.

T3 was a terrible movie, but I did like how it dealt with the timeline. And I didn't hate Claire Danes, which was a first.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Also, The Final Countdown

Anyone else just get earwormed with Triumph?

Me. But I did it to myself.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

12 Monkeys is a great movie, which marked the beginning of my brief fascination with Bruce Willis. Madeleine Stowe is also kickass.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Best playing-with-time-if-not-exactly-time-travel-as-such movie ever?

Groundhog Day. No question.

Compassionately intolerant

Madeline Stowe is also kickass in Closetland and Blink. Liked her in Mohicans a LOT, but that may have been due to the Daniel-glow. Can't think of anything else I've liked her in.

JZ! I saw 2 pugs being walked together this morning and thought of you!

(When I saw them, they were being walked past 2 bulldogs who were lounging with their owners in front of a coffee shop. I damn near expired from the canine cuteness.)
