Hey, Selene wore a corset while fightin'.That's why "intrigue and corset." Fightin' is allowed for intrigue or corset. (PHIL 140 SPRING '99 REPRESENT)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I saw Nanny McPhee today. Charming and funny--and Colin Firth was adorable and not stuck with doing his usual broody stuff. I love Emma Thompson and found her wonderful as usual. Her script had a lot of broad humor that got the 8 and 3 year old I was with in gales of laughter and also a lot of sly asides that only the adults enjoyed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
fightin' Buffistas and intrigue-and-corset Buffistas.
Fightin' is allowed for intrigue or corset.
How? It seems by the hyphenation that you have (fighting) and (intrigue and corset)--the addition of Buffistas to both clauses seems to render it more effectively an or--implying non-intersecting sets.

Yeah, I was fudging the Venn diagrams on purpose--it's possible to have fightin'/intrigue, fightin'/corset, and intrigue/corset without fightin'/intrigue/corset, but that'd be three circles each with parts that don't overlap any of the others, which would invalidate my first statement (only fightin' or intrigue/corset) by creating more than two types.
Holy God, I can actually see my old professor pacing in front of the board like a short, bald caged tiger, drawing up the circles and occasionally digressing in classic Greek.
[In the less strict sense that's common with "there are X kinds of people" statements, you're allowed to have intrigue or corsets with your fightin' as long as you don't have both; it's the fightin' that defines your category.]
Okay, bed now. Realizing where I probably did part of my logic wrong tomorrow.

Robin, if you haven't, you should see My Life So Far, where Firth plays an ecentric inventor and father. A funny, quirky little movie.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Watched The Boondock Saints yesterday. Loved it. That is all....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I haven't watched this yet because it's taking forever to load, but Fight Club trailer as romantic comedy.

Sue, my Firth-love means I have not only seen that film (and really liked it!) but also the original Fever Pitch and even Where the Truth Lies.
I will go far and wide to see the oh so wonderful Colin.

Bwahahahahahaha!
The use of "I Believe I Can Fly" is what really makes the trailer.
