Marriage, yes. Death, no. 'Cause it's a comic opera.
Right, Elmer chases Bugs with a shotgun, but it all works out in the end.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
He was totally channeling his Willow performance.
Not necessarily a bad thing. Mad Martigan and the brownies are my favorite aspects of that movie.

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

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
"You are my sun, my moon, my starlit sky. Without you, I dwell in darkness."
"Went away? 'Without you I dwell in darkness,' and it went away!?"
Rick Overton and Kevin Pollak as the brownies. "Beeah! Hehehehee!"
Good times, good times. Now I'm sorry I missed the dragon movie.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Right, Elmer chases Bugs with a shotgun, but it all works out in the end.
I so wanna say something about "That's not the one with the horns on their heads, is it?" but I'm afraid to be revealed as a worse philistine than I already have been.

Mine too, and yet, it would have been damn near impossible to not love any movie as well done as that which was designed as a staring vehicle for Warrick Davies. (Or was it? I always thought it was.) Also, how in heck did I miss him as Reepicheep? I'm sure that would be as brilliant casting as Tom Baker as Puddleglum. How did I manage to see "Silver Chair" but not "Dawn Treader"?

Now tagless for your comfort.

I saw some HBO behind the scenes thing where they interviewed "the brownies" in character. They were sitting on directors chairs in front of a Barbie Dream House and complaining about the craft service table or something or other. Hi-fucking-larious.

Heh. It's never wrong to make fun of opera. It's a mockable genre, because it's so freakin' overwrought, be it comedy or tragedy. And no, The Barber doesn't have women with horned helmet, thanks Jebus.
I've never seen the Bugs Bunny version of Barber of Seville! I want to, now. I guess Bugs was Figaro and Elmer was Bartoldo? Did Elmer want to marry/have his evil ways with someone? Was he lusting after Tweety Bird?

How much do I love YouTube? The Rabbit of Seville.

YouTube is kind of scary in some ways, but more and more, it's pretty freaking awesome.

The one with the horned helms is "What's Opera, Doc?"
