Buffistas

Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Closed Film and TV threads

[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.

Luck of the best sort, Kristen!

I'd mentioned last year's thing to my parents and they thought it was an interesting process and were bemused I knew people in that business. See, they haven't been able to watch network tv since mom got pissed at the antenna weeding and knocked it down...

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Somebody's never seen DOUBLE INDEMNITY or THE APARTMENT, methinks. Let's just say, Billy Wilder brought out the sleaze in good ol' Fred.

Too many My Three Sons re-runs at an impressionable age. I suspect that's where Cindy is coming from, too.

Oh, no doubt, and maybe a little Absent-minded Professor thrown in as well. I still think he's the most likely candidate for folks to chuck, but there's a whole gamut of reasons for the chucking.

Thanks, sarameg!

And my folks seem to have become much more TV aware since I moved to LA. I'm assuming that's my influence but it's still a little disconcerting when my mom says stuff like, "Could they shop it around to other networks?"

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

When she starts to use ankle as a verb, you're in lots of trouble.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Too many My Three Sons re-runs at an impressionable age.

Of course, but that's at least half the joy of watching the Wilderene sleaze. It's all "I can't believe Dad would do those things!!"

That said, C

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

Huh, I'm of two minds, either C MacMurray or M him. Both to do with My Three Sons. C because "daddy figure," ewww. M because he was still young enough to ping my, oooh, he's not bad for an older guy. I thought he was cuter than any of his sons. What can I say, I had crushes on half my male teachers from 5th grade on.

Good luck, Kristen and Kessie!

All is well that ends in pizza.

Andi and I were watching an episode of Jeeves & Wooster this week when Wooster used ankled in describing walking somewhere.

"Ankled down to the club" or some such, but I'm paraphrasing.

The thing about life is :You can rehearse it all you want, But nobody else ever sticks to the script. So why bother?

Ah, right. I knew there were some other catches why I didn´t enter. As for the language, heh. My parents just look at me strangely when I talk like that to POD on the phone. But then again it´s foreign language to them anyway, in more ways than one.

Oh and thanks SailAweigh and Jesse!

Art Crawl!!!

Isn't Variety- speak based on slang from the 1920s?
