Also the Anthony Michael Hall lesson.
Michael Savage should be so lucky. AMH is better looking now than he was then, and he's paying his rent.
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

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

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I think that my definition of child star who successfully transitioned would be a significant number of roles both before age 15 and after age 25. So, in my mind, it's still really too soon to tell for a lot of people.

move out and draw fire
Has someone mentioned Wil Wheaton? He transitioned into something that isn't really an adult star, but is possibly better respected.

There's Christian Bale, to keep it topical.

Art Crawl!!!
I think he's been mentioned.
How old was Michael J. Fox when he was on that sitcom whose title I cannot remember?

Family Ties, and it started when he was 21.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
How much do I love my library? Free DVD borrowing. You get them for 2 days, and can only renew them once. However, you can't put a reserve on movies, so you have a guaranteed renewal for 2 more days.
Ha! I can get them for 7 days, with up to two renewals. The downside is that they don't seem to have anything later than 1964, for some reason. I haven't looked THAT hard, tho. Oh, yeah, and a $1/day late fee, but no more than a total of $4.

Because books.

I think Michael J. Fox was on Canadian TV as a kid, or at least as a teenager, though.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Finally saw My Big Fat Greek Wedding, the Little Indie That Could. There's not much ridiculously fantastic about it, but it's a nice movie about culture clash (and not too different from my own situation). Bend It Like Beckham is better, though. There's far more going on in that one; here there's pretty much one plot and a teeny weeny subplot. And I think I like John Corbett as Aidan better. He's too schmoopy here.
Now I'm going to watch Ginger Snaps.

Always Anti-fascist!
Yeah, they made him too damn perfect. But I was happy because he was my imaginary boyfriend in high school. And how much did I want to be Carrie Bradshaw the year that she had him and Big to choose from?? Very, very, much. Although me as Carrie is pretty funny, if you knew what my closet looked like.
