Jim Morrison always thought his poetry was much better than his singing or his lyrics

Did we establish that Jim could tell anyone's poetry from crap? If not, it's not quite a parallel.

If not, it's not quite a parallel.

More of a rhombus, really.

Mr. Morrison was into all sorts of good poets like Rimbaud, Baudelaire, Blake, etc. Of course, maybe he was just being pretentious.

Fun factoid: The captain of the U.S. aircraft carrier involved in the Gulf of Tonkin incident was Jim Morrison's dad.

Ioan Gruffud is going to be macking on Jessica Alba.

I feel queasy.

Console yourself with this interview wherein Ioan's slash factor spikes to 11.

Of course, maybe he was just being pretentious.

If the question involves Jim Morrisson, this is *always* the answer.

For those interested, and in honor of the third Buffista movie thread, here is a list of Buffista favorites from the first two (to be included, a film had to be supported (relatively) enthusiastically by at least five Buffistas).

The list is obviously selective based on what conversations occurred. Also, you'll probably notice some absent titles. I tended to not include favorites that had significant dissenters, such as some new releases and (totally agreeing here) A Clockwork Orange and Moulin Rouge.

ETA: I realize it's hard to read but I thought the list was too long to put one movie on each line.

Can I be a significant dissenter? I can totally prune that list.

Oh, I could be too, believe me. But I restrained myself and just went based on what people said in thread when the film came up.

and (totally agreeing here) A Clockwork Orange and Moulin Rouge.

What? Stop hatin' on Moulin Rouge, or I punch you in the face. I also like A Clockwork Orange, but not enough to punch you over it.

Just because I saw another preview for this just now:

I want to see Hal and Kumar go to White Castle. It could suck, but it could be fun.
