I touched Angel's convertible. It was about the size of a car.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I bounced on Inara's bed. It wasn't as sticky as I thought it would be.

If I only had a brain...
Thank you for the offer, Tommyrot, but I'm really only interested in the dresses, which I have big droolworthy pictures of.
Was Pylea a matte painting, Allyson? I've completely forgotten. And snerk about the bed.

It was a sculpture, Betsy. So weird!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
You know, television and movie props are strangely disappointing up close,
This is probably why the LoTR cast kept going on and on about the detail on their weapons and armor. "It's got little sigils on it that you can't even see on the screen!"

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I saw Chingachkook's blue war club--it has little blue-painted metal strap-thingies holding the three pieces of it together, and it's just painted plywood! And not even pre-Revolutionary plywood, at that.

I don't know Vengeance Unlimited. Looks interesting.
Made me think of G v. E, but I can't recommend that to anyone, since I found it boring.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I guess some good came out of watching Jay Harrington's crap comedy Partner(s) after all, as I had an epic dream about being immersed in an episode of The Inside last night. It's not all clear to me now, but there was an innocuous accountant who was really the killer with a chamber-of-horrors basement, Rebecca figured out that they had the wrong creepy van under surveillance, and the climax involved an impossibly steep hill covered in Italian palazzos and a decrepit red stone castle.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
You know, television and movie props are strangely disappointing up close, for the most part; a face-to-face viewer isn't the intended audience, nor is two feet the intended viewing distance.
Yeah, like how when they say on teevee that they have to make various shows "HDTV ready" what they are talking about is the sets. They have to refit everything with something other than popsicle sticks and painted-on duct/electrical tape.

And the star's faces. Apparently plastic surgery and flaws are much more obvious at high resolution.
