Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
(Wolfram's real name is Hart. Don't tell.)

Shrift's real name is shrift, and I don't care what her driver's license says.
Hell yeah.

Hey. New board.
If anybody called me NovaChild in life, I think I'd do a double-take. Strangely, I imagine I'd take Nova without blinking.
David, David Griswold, Gris, Griswold, Grizzly Bear, Grize, D-Gris, Dave, and Hey, Dude are all preferable, however.
That statement isn't pretentious, I think, it's just fandomly. He thinks it's the best movie ever made. Good for him. I've got friends that make the same argument for Starship Troopers. Hell, I've said similar things about some weird movies in my time (Josie and the Pussycats, for example, briefly owned me). It's very easy to get frustrated with the general world's lackluster reaction to something you think deserves better, and respond with an enthusiasm backlash. It's like when I look up a movie I quite liked on IMDB and it has a user rating of 5, and I have to restrain myself from giving it an undeserved 10 just to pull up its rating.

Josie and the Pussycats.. Uhm. Why do people keep mentioning that movie, isn't it a teen girl film?

Hey. New board.
Yes. With moments of almost-but-not-quite totally brilliant satire on modern pop culture that make it a really fun movie to watch.
Plus, Alan Cumming is in it. And Seth Green plays one-fifth of the funniest band ever to die in a movie's teaser.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Naughty boy.
You're not having the most accurate day.
As far as I know, I'm the only person here that cares about initial sentence capitalisation of my name. I'm very erratic about it online with other people, manically consistent with it on and offline with my own. Felt it would be neater in that post to be consistent.

Hey, I never claim to be accurately. I'm the person who proclaimed Firefly dead and buried in 2002 (which is technically correct still, I suppose).
It's interesting seeing how people perceive online things differently.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
And since none but ourselves, we loyal Browncoats, will probably look as in-depth into the movie, we're going to have to tell the world exactly why this is the best movie ever made.
It's not the idea that browncoats are going to be nerdy about Serenity and notice a lot of details that casual viewers will not see. It's
- one, calling it "the best movie ever made"-- does HP fandom maintain that they are the best novels ever written with a straight face?
- two, assuming that noting relevant details to properly evaluate the movie can *only* be done by "loyal browncoats"
- three, the further assumption that proselytizing is still necessary and possible
- four, the use of "loyal browncoats." Ugh.
