Mal ,'Serenity'
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.
Ooh, can I stack another glass on the pedanti...city? On its own the sentence is perfectly fine; the possibility of semantic ambiguity occurs in its coupling with the previous sentence.
See, this is actually a good thing because each pedant makes the last one look better by comparison. Linguistic hot potato.
I live to exploit semantic ambiguities, even imputing them where they don't belong if it makes for a good dirty joke.
As a writer of dialogue, I admire Mamet. As a member of my gender, I think he's an asshole.
See, there's no problem with this, imho. Erika's a writer, as well as a woman. I read her initial comment thus:
"[Speaking] as a writer of dialogue, I admire Mamet. [Speaking] as a member of my gender, I think he's an asshole."
See? It works perfectly nicely as is.

Oh yeah, me too. Also, I'll just make shit up and insist that's what people said, if it makes good riffing fun.
Well, it's not like I'm ever short of Actual Dirty Stuff in my posts...but I guess I'm just flattered you like to play with my stuff.And sometimes I'm really not clear enough, and you guys are so smart and I went to a state university you have to be dead not to get into, so I have Schrodinger's Class Issues...it's not like I mind getting my chain yanked.
ME Russell saw The Man with the Screaming Brain, Bruce Campbell's directorial debut:
So how’s “Screaming Brain”? Well, it’s really, really, really silly — basically what you’d expect from a no-budget “Sci-Fi Original Movie” starring Bruce Campbell. It’s a slapstick comedy about a millionaire who’s killed by a gorgeous gypsy, then has part of a Russian cab driver’s brain put in his head by a mad scientist played by Stacy Keach (!). Wacky chases, break-dancing robots and “All of Me”-style gags ensue.
Word has it, unofficial but from more or less reliable sources, that Liam Neeson has recorded dialogue to be the voice of Aslan.
Has anyone else heard a rumour that Justin Trousersnake is lined up for Harvey Dent? I'm hoping my source is mocking me.

No fucking way that'll happen.
I want to see break-dancing robots! Oh wait, Conky on Pee Wee's Playhouse probably counts.
I'm watching Dawn of the Dead, right now and while I love general creepiness and atmosphere and zombies, I'm realizing that I'm not over-fond of the whole 'tension, tension, tension BOOO!, tension tension, GAAHH! repeated ad nauseum' structure of a typical horror movie.
Plus, this flick is really fucking gory. Aeeiii. Good cast though.
