See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The status is NOT quo.

Tep, I'm so with you only substitute "Connecticut" for "Ohio". Maaaaaaan....

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ohio SUCKS.

Wait, I thought that was you. Or maybe Lee. I forget.

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

Okay, actually it's a two-night thing, on Friday and Saturday. In other words - so much time for you to fly in and attend!

Oooh, and Jilli on this coming Sunday:

Roland West Tribute

Director Roland West (1887 – 1952) remains one of the most mysterious of the early 20th century filmmakers, a brilliantly original visual stylist given to fits of Gothic splendor, Germanic-influenced expressionism and, at times, downright avant-garde mise-en-scene. His career was all-too-brief, beginning in the mid-teens and ending in the early Thirties – but he created a number of dark, glittering jewels during that short period. We’re pleased to be able to present this one night tribute to an underrated, pioneering movie master, with two of his finest:

Double Feature:

THE BAT WHISPERS, 1930, Milestone Films, 82 min. Director Roland West’s sound remake of his earlier success, THE BAT, this time starring Una Merkel and Chester Morris, in the creepy story of a masked killer terrorizing an old mansion. West shot two versions of the film simultaneously, one in standard 1:33 aspect ratio and one in an experimental wide-screen format. The UCLA Film & Television Archive lovingly restored both versions and we'll be showing the more rarely-screened wide-screen print!

ALIBI, 1929, Douris Corp., 90 min. Director Roland West's crime film about unredeemed gangster Chester Morris illustrates his innovative use of the then-new medium of sound, plus his baroque visuals that were as much influenced by German expressionism as avant-garde experimentation. With art direction by William Cameron Menzies (GONE WITH THE WIND). An Egyptian Theatre Exclusive!

Followed by a film noir series

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Susan, strength and health to you're family.

askye, I'm glad your dad got help so quickly and I hope he recovers well. I'm a bad, bad person, though. I felt bad because you've been trying so hard to connect with your father and do things with him. At the same time, a tiny little part of my brain thought, "At least it wasn't when he was watching Muppet bondage."

What is even happening?

Not to be a downer, but I am a goth, and the son of a mortician (the father I don't talk to) and a psych nurse (a lesbian I do speak to) [...]
You're no downer. You might just be the most buffista Buffista, ever.

I think I've absorbed all the ookiness of That Age for a lot of people, so the PTB can just leave off, m'kay? They can just put down the age-related syndromes and step away from peoples' loved-ones.

We've been threatening the universe for a couple of years, now. The last time we gave it fair warning, it didn't even bother to cover its mouth, as it yawned at us.

Yes, frankly, threatening to kick the universe's ass is a bit of fluffed up feathers considering our foot does not reach The Ass Universale.

All is well that ends in pizza.

IBM announces assistive mouse that cancels out hand tremors

WTF? It only comes with PS/2 connectors. [link]

So IBM forgot that we've been USB for several years now? Not sure why they wouldn't have a USB connector already, rather than "under development." Weird.

Always Anti-fascist!

Let's kill it with kindness...that ought to scare it. Failing that, we can be like Ripper wants and "kick the crap out of it."
