I've heard good things about it, though.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It kind of feels like the role he was born to play.

Are you looking forward to or dreading the Black Dahlia movie?
I'm looking forward to it! I'm actually planning to go into a movie theater to see it!
My feeling on the movie (as with all other movies, documentaries, books and Hunter episodes) is that we're never going to know who really killed Elizabeth Short. It will forever remain an unsolved mystery. So I enjoy all the theories and the fiction based on the crime.
It's about the death of George Reeves, - the actor who played the TV Superman.
The person who wrote the (original) screenplay said he was disappointed that they rewrote the script and made it much less about George Reeves and more about the Adrian Brody character. It made me less interested in seeing it.
(Because they are the Cheese.)
Indeed, they are.

It has a really cool, supernoir trailer. I like the song they use; do you know what it is?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I loves me some sad-eyed Adrien Brody and am looking forward to the movie. I also want to see the Black Dahlia movie, for the same reasons as Kristen, but I worry about the De Palma hackification of it. He never had an original idea in his life, and his films are only good if he is blatantly copying the style of paying homage to a really good director. He has great source material in the Ellroy novel and is going the noir route, so I am hoping it all works.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
You could probably say Curtis Hanson is/was quite the hack himself, but LA Confidential was ok. Not that that predicts anything. But this moved was on the shelf for awhile, wasn't it?

I thought it was actually in development hell for a while, not on the shelf - Fincher was originally signed to do it, IIRC.

Man, as bad as I thought Ryan's performance was last night? Tonight was god awful. It's like he is trying so damn hard to be something he is not.

This is why I call him The Poseur. First week, he was all tormented John Mayer boy. In the weeks since, he's been everything from David Gahan to Sgt. Pepper in Mourning.

God yes! But I was so afraid the the SuperNoWays really really liked him. Thank goodness Storm kicked that song. And Dilana - that performance was almost Zayra-like in its oddness. I wonder if she'd been in the bottom three before if she'd be out of there. And somehow I don't think that the songwriting clinic is going to be a boost for her. . . but I'm hoping it'll be a boost for Storm even though Gilbey is running it.
BTW, that new SuperN song was possible the WORST YET -- it didn't help that Mumblemouth the Goth Hobbit was singing it. And I can't believe that they gave the encore to Toby over Magni. Magni totally deserved it.
