Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
But I'm not taking anyone.
You're taking yourself. You wouldn't inflict it on a friend, but you will (a) financially support it and (b) subjugate yourself to it.

The idea that I'll do things to myself that I wouldn't do to a friend, is news to you? Where have you been?
So far, I intend to financially support Batman Begins while I'm seeing F4, but I haven't planned it out in detail yet.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Today's conversation in the comic book store, where the Lister-look-alike was working.
Him: "Going to see Fantastic Four tonight?"
Me (feeling all too cool for that and shit): "Nah. Batman Begins on IMAX."
Only a little geeky...
The first part was *much* better the second time around. Now I want to see it a third time. Maybe a fourth.
I strongly suspect when Paul sees it again, he'll be completely geeking out about the visuals. Also, I love love love how this set up all sorts of future potential, with the number of "crazy" people who, if I'm reading the movie correctly, get turned into actual batshit crazy people. On the loose. Whee!!! Also, I love how they captured both the essential loneliness of Batman and how certain aspects of Bruce's personality were effectively arrested at age 8. His love for Rachel was a very non-sexual thing, a child's devotion to a playmate. I love my brooding repressed scary Bat god.

Hmm, I think you would bruise your friends. You know, as a gesture of respect.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ple, how do you feel about Bruce's love for Gotham as an aspect of his love for his father?

Hey. New board.
Ella Enchanted is even better the, um, third time. I think third. Maybe fourth.
Minnie Driver and Vivica A. Fox are still generally terrible in it, but luckily they're minor. Anne Hathaway owns the screen and needs to make more movies now.

David, it's something that's so much a part of him as I think of him, that it didn't even register except as something they got right. What did ping, this time, was the father/son aspect to his relationships with Ra's and Alfred. Esp. w/Ra's. His final scene contained so much unspoken paternal pride even as Bruce/Batman rejects him as a father figure with "I don't have to save you."

Of course. I like Buffy.
ETA: But also, seriously, girl has skills. She should go do theater for a while or something: fantastic comedic timing, and a very nice voice too.
