Toddson!
So, you're saying it's a great comedy? (No doubt of MANY errors.)
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.
Buffy ,'Lessons'
Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
They played fast and loose with both myth and history, as far as I could tell. Costumes ... Isolde's dress had sequins, Tristan was wearing black leather pants. Everyone was reading and writing. The sensibilities were very much 20th century (Marke (Rufus Sewell! yum!) broke out in some psychobabble at one point). The leads were bland. They seem to have trolled a bunch of romance novels (BAD romance novels) for cliches and used every single one.
It's beautifully filmed and the scenery's gorgeous.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Doesn't that mean they can't launch again for years and years?
No, the launch window goes into mid-February, IIRC. But it they launch it that late, they'll miss the chance for a gravity assist from Jupiter, which would add years to the mission.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I laughed hysterically through the entire thing (I apologize to the two people on the other side of my friend who were very unhappy about my giggling). I laughed walking out with my friend and all the way to the bus stop. I had to duck into a doorway and try to catch my breath.
It opens with a black screen and the words "Britain - the dark ages". The entire theater laughed at that one. Also when Isolde took off her clothes the first time.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I sw that, Toddson, also at a screening. So laughable. I liked Sewell's performance and thought the girl had some moments, but the anachronisms and the flat clicheed dialogue were egregiously bad. As was James "One Expression" Franco.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just read that they're trying again tomorrow to launch.

Not even that cute - the black leather pants didn't do much for his hotness factor (imho).

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Like the bird flu could eventually turn into a pandemic! . Not that we're in danger of a pandemic! mind you. Just that if the pathogen mutates in about ten specific ways, a pandemic! is possible. Not that we want you to worry or anything... Because it's no more likely than any other bug evolving and wiping out people. No, really, don't worry any more than usual.
But it's bird flu! We always knew it'd be the birds!
