Fulminating TB is well known to bring a mighty dumptruck of beauty to the doorstep.
Now I feel better about my HS insisting I had TB.

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.

How could I have forgotten Garbo? Of course, I haven't actually seen Camille, I just remember that bit from Annie...

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Creepy kids was overdone back in Star Trek. Ever since then, it's just been a repeat of the same old.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I thought TB was one of those diseases that's supposed to make you look good.

Up with the sun
There's a college that does "Mindset Lists" for each year's incoming freshman class. The worldview of those born in 1985 and 1986.
I remember when the one came out for my freshman class, and was really freaking irritated by it. "Do they think none of us read? Or think?" So, on behalf of the class of 2009 (yikes) .... bah.
(I think there are fewer ridiculous overgeneralizations in these than there were in mine. Or maybe I'm just less easily offended now.)

Ann, that's a ferret.
What about Greta Garbo in Camille? That's one gorjuss consumptive.
This.
If you want a REALLY creepy kid, try watching the original Bad Seed.
And this. Which, incidentally, pre-dates Star Trek.

LJ, those lists are done by Beloit (WI) College, so older folks can talk to freshmen.
This says something about Beloit. But even though I was born there, I won't say it.

Now tagless for your comfort.
We watched In Good Company this past weekend. I really liked Topher Grace in it. I liked that they focused on the relationship between him and Dennis Quaid as opposed to making it all about Scarlett (which I expected from the trailers).
I just shut off Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason after about 15 minutes. Even sexy Colin Firth couldn't salvage that one for me.
I'm so sad that I'm mostly a DVD watcher now rather than a theater goer.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I recommend a doc I saw over the weekend on IFC about "Z Channel"-- a sort of precursor to IFC. In any case, it's got a crazy number of film clips from obscure classics and a truly devastating ending (if you know nothing about the subject matter). Really very interesting and very good.

Oh yeah. I knew the ending and it still was a jolt given what some of the people were discussing about how things were just prior to it. A real shame. And DAMN, did they show some nifty stuff. Thank god for IFC.
