Apropos of nothing - have just watched The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances for the first time (Captain Jack! Such an auspicious name) and it's prompted me to go to the Beeb's Doctor Who website.

The soundclip of ASH saying 'Ignore the shooty dog thing' is a lot sexier than I was anticipating. Um.

:: plays again and again and again::

Blaine was stupid, and his friends were painfully dickish

But that was the point! (Plus young James Spader -- hubba hubba.)

I like a lot of Say Anything, but Diane's relationship with her father is so freakily Oedipal and co-dependent that it skeeves me severely and generally leads to me turning the movie off. Ick. I mean, she *tells her dad when she gives it up for Lloyd in the backseat*!!!

That's so far beyond fucked-up.

I don't find the concept of an open relationship with a parent to be skeevish. Not my life, true, but I know people who told their (generally same sex, yes, but she didn't have that option) parent as soon as they lost the big V.

The only thing I liked was Iona's dad, and even that would've gotten old really fast.

Iona was the record store owner; Andi was the teenage girl. I loved Iona *and* Andi's poor brokenhearted dad. Harry Dean Stanton never disappoints.

Duh. How could I forget Heathers?

I know! Heathers was wonderfully black-humored fun. Plus, Winona Ryder before she went nuts.

I can never resist watching it, but truthfully my love is all for Lloyd. I kind of blur my eyes when Ione Skye is on screen, especially with her dad. Although I will admit I love the very last scene with a pure, true love.

Wow. For a moment that sentence read as very Jerry Springer. But upon reflection, I guess you weren't going for an Oedipal vibe there. Sorry. Carry on.

Iona was the record store owner; Andi was the teenage girl.

Oh. Okay. I forgot to mention "Iona annoys me" in my dislikes list, then. I forgot she existed, but now that I remember her, she annoys me.

The last scene of Say Anything is, indeed, a beautiful thing. Ione Skye is also very pretty, but certainly the movie is great because of Lloyd. t hugs the image of John Cusack in love to his chest and decides to dream about High Fidelity tonight.

I'm sure Winona (not to mention Christian) was already nuts in Heathers. It just wasn't so obvious yet. So pretty, too.

This is how I watch Four Weddings and a Funeral with Andie MacDowell.

Heathers is a thing of beauty. And while I'm fond of Say Anything, I keep getting sidetracked by playing the "Hey! That location is nowhere near where they just were!" game. The first time I saw the movie, I shook my head in disbelief at the backseat scene; not because of the writing or the characters, but because I knew that at that particular location, they should have been interrupted by the police driving by every, oh, 10 or 15 minutes. (No, I will not explain how I know that. You can jump to your own conclusions without my help.)

This is how I watch Four Weddings and a Funeral with Andie MacDowell.

Word. Although, to be fair, I think it's a dreadfully written cypher of a role, so I don't entirely hold it against MacDowell.

However, this is exactly how I watch X Men movies. I try to superimpose Angela Basset over Halle Berry.
