Gotta say, Slings and Arrows looks like something I'd fall head over heels in love with.

Oh yeah. Plus it's got several male/male relationships that could benefit from slash goggles. Even the dim, pretty motorcycle boy is gallant and interesting.

Fay, you would absolutely adore it. It's the best acting I've seen from Paul Gross, too. The whole cast is fantastic, but I have to say his performance surprised me (in a good way). I'm looking forward to the DH getting home so I can watch it again with fewer distractions and someone who understands why I'm laughing or crying.

he may be sensitive to rhythm in language

If he raps in iambic pentameter, I'm okay with that.

My best male friend is really good at the "Your rant is boring. Here, catch this curveball" thing with me, but I have to say I don't take that well from Robert. He doesn't take it well when I rant either, tho, so that's fair.

got side with David on this one. DH is a ranter. everynow and then I just look at him and say" Is this helping?" and think of something more fun to do. now, if had said , this is boreing and walked away - that's dofferent. but he found a way to make her feel better -and that is good.

I don't think there's really a question of taking sides here.

But it wasn't a boring story! It had the chilliest street corner in San Francisco, and a random crazy woman yelling at all the huddled shivering masses, and a pregnant woman drinking gin straight out of the bottle (not me, I hasten to add), and a pack of heartbreakingly beautiful teens already seriously wasted and wobbling their way out to the beach to get even more fucked up and talking about who was and wasn't a reliable source of hallucicogens at their school (apparently there's some girl who claims her shroom treats are C-benzie but they're really just AST -- but her dry-cap mushrooms are the shit. Discerning shoppers need to know this.), and a creepy guy named Dexter who failed to notice that I was 5 months pregnant and tried valiantly to hit on me because I "looked really young" and was a "good woman."

Admittedly, Monty Python was more fun.

There was a discussion in one of the lj communities about how it's nearly impossibly to slash Geoffrey Tennant. He's like Crichton, with the core of his character so resolutely, messily, angrily OTP-centric that it's all but impossible to believably pair him up with anyone but Ellen, male or female.

But, oh, how I want backstory on the opening-credits couple. It needn't even have Teh Sex -- I just want their story, dammit.

But it wasn't a boring story!

Well, then you buried the lede with "I waited and waited and waited and waited and waited...."

Even Samuel Beckett had the sense to slide in some vaudeville.

I had a porny dream about Nathan Fillion and Joe saw Joaquin Phoenix at the gas station across the street from our house. Joe saw him and said to him, "My wife's gonna kill me."

Uh, Crichton from which show? Because if you're talking Farscape, he's gotten it on with at least Scorpius, D'Argo and Crais. At least that is what my goggles tell me.

a)

What Fay said.

b) he still told her and us that her wrothful tale was boring to him. Mebbe the Python could have been applied without that part?

eta: and now that I've done my butting in for the day, I am going to get my hair cut. YAY

But its more FUN if we take sides.

Then we can pull out all those antique swords and deuling pistols all you people have squirrled away.
