It's terrifying to me. There are things about my current job that I love, but in the back of my mind, I'm always aware that every day I'm not working as an editor, my technical skills are getting more and more outdated, and there is nothing I can do about it. (On the plus side, paycheck! Roof over my head! But still. GAH.)
Xander: I do have Spaghetti-os. Set 'em on top of the dryer and you're a fluff cycle away from lukewarm goodness. Riley: I, uh, had dryer-food for lunch.

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.

Early reviews of Mirrormask and HGTTG.
(And to both of the HGTTG reviewers on AICN, I would just like to point out that changing the order of events when adapting this work is in fact not a travesty or betrayal of the original text, but rather, a time-honoured HGTTG adaptation tradition.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The sperm whale's existential crisis via free-fall was great.
YES. I'm glad that's in the movie. I assume the bowl of petunias makes an appearance as well.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

"Oh no, not again!"

It hasn't grabbed me as one of those books where I can't wait to get home from work so I can find out what happens.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's not so much the what, with those books -- more the how. And sometimes the why.

Well, I'm fighting some low-grade Ick that does not want to go away, and I was planning on crawling back into bed right about now, so maybe I'll bring the book with me.
