Kids these days are already on top of the pathetic nostalgia.
Hence that song about 80s nostalgia aimed at current teens.
Angel: If I'm not back in a couple of hours— Gunn: You're dead, we're screwed, end of the world.
'Underneath'
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.

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.
You should. Because everyone ought to do so. When you rent it, make sure you get the version titled "Leon" instead, for the extra-disturbing extra 20 minutes.
Yes. Absolutely.
I liked Natalie Portman in Garden State. She can emote. I've seen it happen. I haven't seen Closer yet, but I don't know if I'd like that better than GS.
I still have yet to see Kingdom of Heaven. And now there's RotS to see. My babysitter needs to clear up her schedule.

Hey. New board.
Alyson Hannigan is 31. She was 23 when Buffy began. If she were 24 now, that would have made her 16 when Buffy began, which would have been far too close to the age she played for it to have been allowed.
(SMG was the youngest member of the cast, and she was 20 when Buffy began.)

Not allowed? Why?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
[Ewan] just breaks my heart in the big final battle scene.
Does he sing "Come What May," while his TB-infected hooker girlfriend dies in a shower of rose petals at his feet?
Sorry; complete other rant. I hate the Hooker With a Heart of Gold storyline, even when the hoor is as heart-stoppingly beautiful as Kidman was in Moulin Rouge.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

I'm right there with you, honey.

Especially when the hooker won't put out just ONE MORE TIME, even to save the life or livelihood of her beloved. C'mon now. Who hasn't been all up in there yet?
