Isn't there an Ed Gein musical, too? (Which seems ready-made to be a cult movie.)
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.
Willow ,'Showtime'
Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Not sure why you'd say "surprisingly". The thing practically screamed "I wanna be a cult movie" from the get-go.
Oh, I knew it would be a cult movie, I just hadn't realized it was going to go the whole audience participation route.
Whereas their second project, The Devil's Carnival (which makes even LESS sense than Repo!, but is full of circus-y eye candy) was deliberately made for that sort of thing. Going to the "road show" screening of it was fun, but made me feel OLD: I kept muttering, "Child, where are your PANTS?!" at the teens running around in stockings and ruffled booty shorts.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Mark is about to start watching Angel S5 and Dollhouse. Check out this awesome banner someone made. I can't even tell which set is which.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I don't know how to tell Mark: "The first season is almost entirely crap and the second season is almost as good as Firefly."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't know why you'd tell him that.

He's liking it so far, I think. And he's loving the hell out of Angel Season 5, which seems to be really popular among the commenters. It wasn't very popular on TWoP, if I recall. Or maybe that was just Strega.

So he'll hang around to watch the second season? I won't tell him anything, of course.

The second season close in quality to Firelfy? Serious? I mean, I liked it, but non-small bits of that were pulled out of Whedon's ass.

Mark's prediction re: Shanshu is interesting.
And he's unspoiled for Spike. Heh.

I think someone said in the comments to his prediction post that he needs to skip the opening credits of the first episode of S5 so he can stay unspoiled.
Well, I mean, by now he's seen the first few episodes, so that's moot. But I can't wait to read his post about the first episode, to see if he watched the credits and got spoiled for Spike.
