I do feel a little uncomfortable with the fact that if I had lost my virginity when Diane did, I would have gone to a parent as well, even as watching her do it felt like...incestlite, at least emotionally.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
My favorite scene is probably the one in which Diane goes to the boxing studio to ask him to take her back and that she needs him, and Lloyd is so bitter and angry (and physically battered) yet he can't help himself because he loves her just so damn much.
"''Because you need someone, or because you need me? .... Forget it. I don't care.''
Sniff.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I should totally write a mystery that a woman solves thanks to her knowledge of "Say Anything" which the police, being older guys, are going to miss completely. Like there's no way the vic would turn off the video in the middle of Lloyd standing in the rain and stuff. And the Detective could be all "Maybe she found something else to do," and my sleuth could say "How old is she?"
" Thirty."
"It's Lloyd...that's never gonna happen. We've got a crime scene, boys and girls."
Vonnie, I read that link, and scared myself. Because I think I could crush on Klosterman for all the reasons he says I shouldn't. And, yes, giant Woody Allen fan.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
OMG, erika, you must write that mystery. Must.

Not just Say Anything, but just generally 80's pop culture. She wasted too much time/energy in highschool and college, it was thought, but now she uses it to save lives!

I can see it now... my homicide detectives being all "Who or what is a Dobler?" Having to call up their daughters and wondering why the P.I and the crime scene techs keep repeating "a brain trapped in the body of a game show hostess," and smiling to themselves. And every female witness is all " And they were under the blanket, and it's raining...God, I love that part." And they're all lost cause they love "Mean Streets" or something.

I just saw Waiting for Guffman. It was funny, and just what I needed after a crappy afternoon.

BEST IN SHOW is a lot of fun too, plus cute dogs. I haven't seen the third one yet (A MIGHTY WIND) even though I own it.

Compassionately intolerant
Best in Show is best in show for Guest films, as far as I'm concerned. Love it with a great big warmth. I liked Guffman a LOT, too. Wind? I enjoyed it until the last 5 minutes and then stormed off in a huff. Absolutely hated the final gag and felt like it ruined the whole she-bang.
