Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

Art Crawl!!!

No, you're right. I'm not sure what you're doing that the game doesn't like -- it's very picky.

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

Sue, that's the right answer. (Must be a typo in your answer, but I can't see it.)

I had spelled it wrong before, but then I looked it up and got the right spelling, but it won't acknowledge the change.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Maybe there's an extra space at the end.

Sue, that's the right answer. (Must be a typo in your answer, but I can't see it.)

Right, because it's really spelled Au revoir, les enfants

Denser than the person who spent 5 minutes trying to figure them out before realizing they weren't actual stills from movies? I think not!

Ah, but you're a professor of French cinema. If you didn't believe in the overriding truth of the image regardless of the pretense on which it was created, where would we all be? In a Tony Scott movie, I say.

Sean, I love that post because it feels like it should be some post-modern analysis of stationery politics.

Hee! Thanks, SA. I was having almost as much fun coming up with hints as I was playing the game.

Completely delete your answer until you're sure it's empty and there's no extra spaces. Then carefully type it in again. Your spelling is correct.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Finally saw i The Departed. Liked it pretty well. Had a couple of things that grated. Barrigan also being a rat, and seemingly knowing about Sullivan--did Brown call him instead of Dignan? They had Costigan plant seeds of doubt in Costello's head about French, but we never saw them take root--did Costigan end up with the tapes because all the rest of the inner circle was dead, or because Costello wanted him specifically to have them. Dignam disappearing so thoroughly. Sure, he was an abrasive prick, but wouldn't he have wanted to keep an eye on Costigan, at least for the sake of the operation?

I also found myself laughing at the violence in the latter part of the movie, and I'm pretty sure that wasn't supposed to be my primary reaction.

Compassionately intolerant

Nearly everyone in my packed (we had to sit in the fourth row) theatre laughed when Costello bit it . The violence just seemed jarring and I guess the laughter is how people blow off the tension.

As for Dignan I felt like he was watching Costigan...from just out of frame, you know? That's how he ended up being gunny on the spot what with the surgical booties and all ...creepeee.
