Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

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

I feel like it wasn't manipulative on purpose; it was just so unflinchingly objective about the whole thing that it hurt.

"Unflichingly objective" is a pretty good description of Polanski's best work. With The Pianist, he also had some personal connection with the subject, which I'm sure added to that trait.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I don't know if Amistad was a good movie.

I'm right there with you on that. I do know that there are certain scenes that haunt me. It also is on the Never Can Watch Again list.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It also is on the Never Can Watch Again list.

Heh. I should send you Ponette. That'd kill you dead.

Uh...not that I want you dead.

You sadist. Why don't you just send her Mouchette and Au hasard Balthazar while you're at it.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Please to not be killing the Empress, por favor.

Yeah, guys, just...give me a minute first...

Baby, would you sign these papers real quick? Oh, and hey! Looks like Hec sent you a package...

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Considering that your daughter routinely kills us ded with the cute, it seems only fair.
