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.
In a perfect world, I'll never see a flight attendant do anything other than a waiter impersonation.
I know they got other skills, but I just don't want to be around when they're needed.
However, since we get to be mean about doctors and lawyers and presidents, who the hell is a flight attendant to start getting huffy.

You should sue.
Just talked to MM - he says, "Every time a flight attendant fails to get my beer on time or crashes into my legs with that cart - she is disrespecting those passengers that died on 9/11."
Sick man. I love him so.
I don't think I can stress enough how awesome this clip is.
Laughed aloud, and at length. That one's getting linked to everyone I know.
The world is waiting for the ita movie. I say that with all seriousness. Well, apart from "Serenity" because I think of you when I see Zoe. But plenty of cool stories don't get told every day.
Hey, erika, did you see the link I left for you in Natter this morning? If not, search on "Omar".
Natter is more active than Hamsterdam today, so have not.
Go to, young lady.
"I got the gun. You got the briefcase," was one of my top ten most profound television moments, and it kind of bums me out that so few people I know saw it. It probably made me kind of an evangelist, though. Because I was like, well, damn. Never thought about it like that. How Levy's all respectable and maybe he shouldn't be, and how as a person receiving government benefits, I get, well, threatened a lot. And the guy in Scottsdale getting a huge tax break, nsm.(I doubt that Simon intended that particular realization, but there it was anyway.) I hate him when it's time to write a villain, though...I call Mr. Simon out his name frequently at such moments because I can't just write something evil and have done...it won't be good enough. Bastard.
Because mostly a guy like Omar on TV would be this stupid, piece-of-shit killing machine that never thinks, ever. Much less about his place in life...society, stuff like that.
I quote Omar too damn often, especially about "Never turn my gun on no citizen."
ETA: That interview was pretty deep. thanks for sharing. I heart wire interviews because, ok, they are like methadone for this fiend, but also because Wire cast members tend to be smart, thoughtful people who struggle for their art and have not gotten by on their looks and the same three replies of :
"*such* a professional."
"We're like a family."
"growing in different directions."
And it seems to interest reporters who have deeper questions than "So, you kiss boys? Is...that like totally disgusting?" which, if you contrast with the ink Kyle Secor was getting at the end of Homicide, is pretty relevatory
