'Serenity'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
That sounds closer to Al's version than the St. James Infirmary or Streets of Laredo lyrics that I know. Interesting.
erika, I'm thinking Jane taking Joannie's hand while walking the kids to the new school and again after Tolliver's visit points to yes.

"The Unfortunake Rake" is also the subject of a Greil Marcus essay, IIRC. -t's answer on Joanie and Jane is my answer, Erika.
Huh. I'm not up on that stuff.(folk ballads, not femmeslash. But I'm always impressed with the work that must go into Deadwood. It makes me so annoyed that my family only knows it as the show where they talk nasty. But I'm descended from hooples, for the most part. I would go into it further but I'd probably want somebody to go down on me first.
Hec, do you have a [pre] tag before the title in post # 3391? I think it's stretching the screen.
That should wrap better.
Hmph. I tried to put some line breaks in but it still looks wide-ish.
Watched Brokeback Mountain. Am now in tiny, tiny pieces.
K-Bug and her friend invaded my room while I was doing homework last night and put in Brokeback Mountain. Even paying only half attention it broke me again.
I'm kind of glad I didn't see it in the theater, since I find it embarrassing to sob loudly in public.
