[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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Is that because it's harder to make "Kristen" into Wrongda?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I would imagine the decision to use her real name came fast on the heels of realizing just how widespread the Wrongda nickname had become.

Random: We had a conversation the other day at the office about the Netflix rating system. (I guess they're looking for a better or more effective way to rate movies or something.)
As I'm sitting here, rating movies I've seen, it occurs to me that there's a vital component missing from their system. You rate movies from Hated It to Loved It. But you can love something even if the movie wasn't good. I mean, Showgirls.
Like, Apocalypse Now is an excellent movie. Yet I'm never willingly sitting down to watch it again unless someone is paying me. OTOH, I have an unholy love of Under Siege. But I kinda love it despite itself. Or myself. Whatever.
I'm not sure how one would make this work within a ratings system.

Separate quality and enjoyment ratings?

That's what I was thinking. Something that allows you to say, "I know this movie is awful but it cracks me up."

Or "I acknowledge that this movie is very good, but it's more boring than a box of bricks."

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Apocalypse Now
I was about to say that I really liked that movie, then I realized that it's not Full Metal Jacket and remembered that I don't.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Yes I tend to just rate them on whether I enjoyed the film. So I acknowledge that Wild Strawberries is the work of genius but on my Netflix page it gets two stars.
ETA and Cellular which surprised the hell out of us last night will get four.
