Aw, crap. Well, at least there's a soundtrack, now. Although I'm not sure how the angsty aliensexness of it will be affected by the accompaniment of Skee-Lo's "Mr. Morton" or Blind Melon's "My Hero Zero."
(Or Pizzicato Five's "Twiggy Twiggy" which I just ran across in a box under my bed, much to my delight.)

Awards ceremony involving footage of Tiananmen Square set to "Don't Worry, Be Happy."
Cassie Claire: Long HP epics which lifted lines of dialogue from Buffy without attribution.

I cannot tell you how scared I am of doing something like this by accident. Not entire passages, but clever lines that pop to mind as if they were something I thought of rather than read or heard somewhere.
