Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Have any of you had a Monastery Fruitcake from Holy Cross Abbey? They are supposed to be excellent.
Yep. I'm not much for fruitcake (so far, anyway), but I did taste it, and it was good. The family who like fruitcake all liked it very much and order it every other year or so. I mean, monk-made cake. Who can resist that?
I felt bad about the last of his kind thing, but I didn't really feel it was inappropriate to kill a huge wild animal that was rampaging through the city stomping on people.
He was being chased! He should have lived happily ever after with his human bride!
Sorry, I'm morphing into that other woman.
The necessity of the whole thing made it sadder for me. Internal conflict, yadda yadda.

Yeah, it was tragic because Kong was more sympathetic -- but again I kept losing the sympathy with the rampaging violence. A little less rampage and I might have been on board with the sympathy.
::shrugs:: I still enjoyed the movie, even if it was bloated and self-indulgent. And I could have lived the rest of my life without seeing the penis dentata scene, as one of my LJ friends phrased it. Ewww.
Most savage urethra ever! I could have done without a lot of the creature fight scenes, really. And as was noted elsewhere, a lot of the character development of secondary characters turned out to be wasted. I coulda made that movie under two and a half hours, easy.
Ew. And I haven't even seen it yet. Saw Brokeback last night. It does stay with a person, doesn't it? Random bits and pieces kept popping into my head all day.
Must for sleep now. I took a long nap late in the day. Bad, bad idea.
Definitely shoulda been 40 minutes shorter. They could have save about ten of that on the death scene alone...
Skipping and poking head to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is shrift's birthday. Happy birthday, shrift! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
Happy Birthday shrift!
Happy Birthday shrift!!
Happy Birthday Shrift!
Also, the only way I can stand Christmas cake is if it's drowned in brandy for a couple of months before it's iced. Mmm, moist. Most of the time I just peel off the icing, peel off the ckae, and eat the marzipan. But I don't like dried fuit, so there you go. When I'm making them I try and put more juicy dried fruits in -- leave out most of the currents, for example, and put more figs and apricots and stuff in.
