indeed Grant for anything other than a red-blooded heterosexual?
What's the line from BRINGING UP BABY (said with Grant wearing a nightgown)?
"I just went GAY all of sudden!" (probably didn't get that quite right)
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

Ann, that's a ferret.
That's the way I remember it, Frank. He was wearing the frilly negligee at the time....

Of course, you need to visualize the leap he makes to really get the full effect.

To me, it's just like characters going to the restroom and eating proper meals: you don't always seem them do it, but you assume they do.
Normally I would agree. But in this movie, because it was concerned with the precise passage of time (you can map out exactly what happens every day, Sunday through Saturday), and because her discusssion of her job is pretty grounded in the real world, it bothered me. I think you're right that it's something we aren't *supposed* to think about, though.

Isn't that the first mainstream use of gay to mean homosexual? I've always wondered how they got it past the censors...

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
You know, I'd never even considered the second question, regarding Garden State. I think, to me, the entire period of time had the feeling of one of those long weekends home from college, when you run into everyone that you've ever met and haven't seen in ages, and become de facto friends with for the brief period. But that's not true here. So, I don't know.
On the first point, I don't think that his friend intended the journey to be what it ended up being for Zach Braff's character. My gut reaction is that he wasn't that deep. I think that's half of what I loved about the movie- how random journeys can lead you to moments of clarity.
Also happy-making: my theater was giving away Garden State posters. Now I have something to put on my wall.

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

The one-sheet with them screaming on top of the tractor thing? I have it too!

Yep! I left it in my friend's car, though. She'd better not throw it out!
Shakes tiny fist.

I'd guess that the clean meaning is the more obvious.
Lately, we've run across a few lines on old Dick Van Dyke reruns that have surprised us.

As in, "I'm wearing the lingerie because I got really happy all of a sudden"? To my ears, that doesn't parse, but you may be right that it is how the line was heard in 1936. (1934? I forget.)
Lilty, I agree that the friend didn't seem that deep, but I don't understand how the jewelry dealer got the necklace unless he had given it to him in advance. Or one/both of them might routinely rob graves, but I don't want to think that.

Lyra Jane- That threw me too- when he said "I wish I could say I'd planned it all along," what I ended up coming to was that he'd taken it off of the mother before he buried her and sold it to the jewelry dealer, then arranged to get it back as an afterthought. But I'm not sure.
Waits eagerly for dvd commentaries.
