Always Anti-fascist!

None, at all? Or just platonic.

Watched The Frighteners last night (10th Anniversary DVD). It was actually a pretty good movie. One or two "but how...?" points, but some good writing and some good performances. Awesome work by Michael J. Fox. And R. Lee Ermey!

That movie (which I didn't see until last year) convinced me that Jackson is really an excellent director of acting, not just possessed with remarkable casting ability (which I thought after seeing LotR). I never thought that Michael J. Fox was capable of really fine acting--even in Back to the Future, his strength was in his physical performance. But Jackson got him to really dig deep and do an excellent job.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

C is for Cookie -- V for Vendetta parody trailer. With Sesame Street characters. So very wrong on so many levels.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Clearly, you didn't watch the Family Ties where Alex gets dumped by the commie liberal love of his little neo-con life.

I did see the "very special episode" where his friend was killed and he went through therapy. Even then, all I could think was "Emmy Bait episode!!"

Well, totally!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

"What did you think/I would say at this moment?/When I'm faced with the knowledge/That you just don't love me?/Did you think I would curse you/Or say things to hurt you/'Cause you just don't love me no more?"

My sister!

I feel like I'm opening up about some seriously shameful thing here, what with the Alex Keaton Woobification of my youth.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Heh, you want hilarity? Check out CLASS OF '84 where a very young, very chubby Michael J. Fox gets abused (and I think eventually knifed) by Vince Van Patten's gang of psychotic teens. Also worthy for Roddy MacDowell giving a pop quiz to his class using a gun as motivation for them. Teensploitation trash of the highest order.

It's a shame it was SUCH a violent movie because it would have made excellent MST3K material.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I thought Fox was better than decent in Casualties of War. But that was a long time ago. I might think differently now.
