I live at a fairly traffic-heavy intersection and I'm increasingly delighted by the Punjabi pop that has been pouring out of car windows recently. It is seriously displacing the thumpa-thump of hip hop.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Well, now I have to listen to it.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I thought he just took the diamond.
Not really take. More given and kept.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Not really take. More given and kept.
Falls within my semantic boundaries for take, not least of all because it's someone else's property.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Movies about education and the arts: can it be a documentary? Because Mad Hot Ballroom would certainly fit the bill if so.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Kate P - I tried to offer that one up to my team, but they are liking Mona Lisa Smile even though that doesn't quite fit what we need. I am trying to influence them back to Mad Hot Ballroom or Take the Lead.
The questions we need to answer are Does the movie/book realistically reflect the impact of art education on adolescents? Does it realistically reflect the struggle the humanities subjects face in light of educational budget cuts? If a school curriculum prefers to maintain sports programs over programs related to the arts, who will ultimately be responsible for children’s exposure to the humanities? Who will pay for arts education? Plus come up with a couple of more questions of our own.

That's a good question, Suzi. It's been an ongoing bone of contention within the school systems forever. I like it when classes take on the tough questions. For this one, I think that Meryl Streep movie would be awesome.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Does the movie/book realistically reflect the impact of art education on adolescents?
Mad Hot Ballroom is about 5th graders, so not quite adolescents. Don't know how important that distinction is.

Always Anti-fascist!
They just want to leer at Dominic West, I suppose. That's why I rented it. What? But there's only two or three scenes in it about art. Honest.
