Note to self--if ever you need to find a rare book on vampires, ask if Jilli has it, first.
I would laugh, but ... yeah, there's a good chance I would have some version of it. I have embraced my cliché.
I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

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."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
It's not a cliche, doll; it's a "speciality!"

“Not dead yet!”
Probably belongs more properly under the "movies" thread, but I'm sitting here, watching Four Weddings and a Funeral and just glorying in the utter glory that is Richard Curtis' writing. He writes the best love stories.
And the second wedding, Bernard and Lydia, Rowan Atkinson as the priest is just one of the most brilliant pieces of comedic writing ever.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Wait until the final scenes - "Is it raining" just about brought down the whole movie theater when I saw it years ago.

“Not dead yet!”
Oh, I know the film well--just haven't watched in in forever. And I'm just such a huge Richard Curtis fan. That talk between Charles and Tom after Gareth's funeral where they make the observation that for all they all talked about their freedom and not being tied down, that for all intents and purposes, two of them had been married just always breaks. my. heart. Every time.
So, so many good lines in that film, although as a complete film, in terms of the writing, I adore Love Actually even more.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I can't watch Four Weddings. Simon Callow and >gah!< John Hannah just wreck me. I'm crying hours after. I don't even know if I dare tackle the book.

Oh, John Hannah. One of the few reasons I liked Sliding Doors so much...I adore him. Why isn't he in good things, instead of "The Mummy", darn it??

“Not dead yet!”
I don't even know if I dare tackle the book.
It's actually the screenplay, Bev. It's absolutely fascinating, the mind of a writer who's creating for a visual medium.
But yeah, the scene where Hannah reads the Auden... guh.
Oh, John Hannah. One of the few reasons I liked Sliding Doors so much...I adore him.
Only reason I can watch that movie since I utterly abhor Gwynnie and Jean Tripplehorn's character is one of the most singularly evil characters ever. No redeeming qualities whatsoever. But John... *le sigh* I actually enjoyed him in the The Mummy because we got to see his goofy side.

Oh, John Hannah. One of the few reasons I liked Sliding Doors so much...I adore him.
Me too! He's so endearing and sexy in that totally comfortable, relaxed way, which I didn't get from him in Four Weddings (which I saw first).

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Hands off my John Hannah! Back, you fiends!!!
Sliding Doors is one of my all time favorites. As is Love, Actually. I like Four Weddings, but I am large with the Andi MacDowell hate, so she kind of ruins it for me.
looks at titles of those movies, suspect may be in love with Hugh Grant also.
I want John Hannah in an HP role. Not sure which one, but something.
