I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video  

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It took me a minute to realize Orlando Bloom is not a tampon.

I didn't know you'd seen Kingdom Of Heaven.

You're no longer young! One of us, one of us. Join us in achey backs and out-of-it-ness, and "You call that music!" and pathetic nostalgia for the crap pop culture of your preteen years. Bwahahahaha!

Someone better find me a really elegant silver-topped walking stick for my next birthday. IJS.

There's a half-plus-seven rule?

And here I was worried that my current musical crush objects are a decade younger than me.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

pathetic nostalgia for the crap pop culture of your preteen years

My pre-teen years?

My PN has all been for the crap I hated in 1992/93.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

This list: [link] is where the Samuel L "quote" came from.

My personal favorite: "Feel the Force, motherfucker."

Kids these days are already on top of the pathetic nostalgia. In fact, I think hanging out with them kickstarted mine. Nothing like having a seventeen year old say "You've never heard Hendrix on vinyl????" to get you going.

Hey. New board.

It's not the rule-makers I look askance at, it's the blind rule-followers. AH shows up heartbroken, newly single, and in need of comfort at your doorstep, and you whip out your ... calculator?

Heh. It's a general rule. I have no problem entertaining the fact of dating people over the age of thirty OR people under the age of eighteen, the limits of my half-plus-seven, but I'd still generally call most 31-year-olds "too old for me" and most 17-year-olds "too young for me." But, yeah, if AH showed up looking for comfort I'd probably whip out... well, probably my handcuffs, based on her Maxim interview.

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

Kids these days are already on top of the pathetic nostalgia.

Hence that song about 80s nostalgia aimed at current teens.

Ann, that's a ferret.

There's a college that does "Mindset Lists" for each year's incoming freshman class. The worldview of those born in 1985 and 1986.

Scary, isn't it?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

How old IS Alyson Hannigan anyway. I realized that I thought she was over 5 years younger than I (like 24 or 25), but D. Griswold's comments make me think she is just about my age. As is Leonardo DiCaprio.

I think that I think I am the same age as all the people playing teenagers when I was young (like Molly Ringwald and Rob Lowe) when in reality they are like 10 - 15 years older than me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am the same age as everyone but the very old and the very young. Sometimes it's confusing, but it makes dating simple.

Or would, if I did.
