Oh I like her!!!
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have my Batman Begins discs! Whee!

Now, don't let Joe hear you. He'll start tugging at my pant legs and pointing in the general direction of Best Buy.

Staunton is an outstanding choice for Umbridge.

Imelda Staunton has confirmed that she is going to be Dolores Umbridge
Oooooooooooh.
That's a good choice. I hope they can make her just a little fun to hate (as opposed to the pure, ugly get-out-of-my-Harry-Potter-book hate I felt for her in the book).

Just a bit more mocking of the Alice band (I love that phrase, as opposed to "hair band") and her other fashion choices might do the trick.

I think that was my major problem with her in the book, Jess. Thanks for pointing it out. She wasn;t the least bit fun or mockable. She was just mean for no reason.

To make Jessica feel better about Doom. If that's possible.
Jessica -- if you're a Rock fangirl -- still untenable?

Thrive to spite them
I watched a bit of TMC last night and they had a biography on Bette Davis and I caught the part where she fought against the studio system and went to England and I guess either was sued or sued over the contract. There were other things about the studio system and how much control Jack Warner had over the final cuts of movies, etc. I don't know much about the studio system, but I was wondering when and how the studio system changed and ended.

I still feel pretty bad. Better show me some more.

I adore the Rock, but he really needs to be allowed to be funny, and this movie takes itself SO seriously. In the scenes that don't take place in near-total darkness, his arms are almost spectacular enough to distract from the script. Almost. (It's a really bad script, and he gets handed the biggest clunkers of all)
