OK, let me retroactively add The Fifth Element to my quiz answers as "A movie I had to watch multiple times before I appreciated it." First time I saw it, I thought it was a big dumb showy ripoff. Now I really like it.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

"Look at all these little things. So busy now. Notice how each one is useful. What a lovely ballet ensues so full of form and color. Now, think about all those people that created them. Technicians, engineers, hundreds of people who'll be able to feed their children tonight so those children can grow up big and strong and have little teeny weeny children of their own, and so on and so forth. Thus, adding to the great chain... of life."
Always makes me smile.

It looks like Summer Glau is on tonight's episode of the Unit.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
I own three movies on DVD. Serenity, The Princess Bride, and The Fifth Element. I love that movie.

I keep thinking that Gary Oldman is channeling Ross Perot for that voice.

He totally is. I don't remember where I heard it, but I remember hearing that he based the accent off Ross Perot.
Joining the T5E love, the chain of life speech is brilliant. I also love the shot of the building exploding behind a calmly smoking Zorg.
So, how 'bout that big damn movie!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
DH makes the best grilled butterflied chicken breast in the world. We usually grill and bag about eight at once, to have on hand for salads and sandwiches. All of us have been known to head to the refrigerator to retrieve a bagged chicken breast and chortle, "Chi-cken!" in a Leelu voice.
Okay, I'll stop. After I thank Ash for posting that whole speech. Love it. And I had no idea about the Perot voice, but yeah, it really does sound like him.

The more I watch Serenity, or Firefly for that matter, the more I talk like folk in the 'verse.
The other day, I told a customer on the phone "I reckon we can get that afore your due date, barrin' unforeseen circumstances or the like."
There was a pause, then the customer just said "Well. Alright, then."
Later that same day, having successfully gotten an order out for a customer just in time she said "You're my hero!" To which I muttered "Ain't we just?"
Anybody else have this problem?

I definitely use a lot of Firefly-isms. I tried to use gorram regularly by choice, but it required far too much explanation. Or funny looks from them that know what I'm talking about.
