Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness. Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

You know, for a second I thought you meant the Face of Bo, and had some cognitive dissonance there. ::facepalm::

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

There was an AP story about the Joy Division flick yesterday as well. It's funny: I just saw (finally) 24 Hour Party People last weekend, and the Guardian article has this:

He also appeared as Mark E Smith of the Fall in Michael Winterbottom's 24 Hour Party People, giving rise to a small irony in Control. When Curtis recovers from his first epileptic fit, his manager tells him: "It could be worse - at least you're not the lead singer of the Fall."

I remember Mark E. Smith himself in the film, but not anyone playing Mark E. Smith. When did the character appear?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Heh. In Rip It Up And Start Again there's a funny discussion about how Ian Curtis and Mark E. Smith studiously ignored each other because they both knew there was this other really cool guy in Manchester. Like they were set up as rivals years before they actually made any music.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I don't remember Mark E. Smith as a character in 24 Hour Party People, either. In fact, I remember thinking that a major oversight.

Maybe he was cut out? I didn't bother watching the deleted scenes on the DVD.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hey look it's MST3K: Morrissey in tupperware.

Ha. I can recite the lyrics to that without even watching. Pretty good Morrissey parody....
