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

See, that's gonna corrupt the kiddies. Gay dragons indeed.

From IMDB:

Kubrick Was Dispondent Over 'Eyes' Before His Death, Says Actor
R. Lee Ermey, the actor who played the menacing drill instructor in Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket (1987), says that two weeks before his death, Kubrick phoned him to express his dispondency over Eyes Wide Shut, starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, which reportedly had taken longer than any film in history to film and which was only in a rough-cut state. "He told me it was a piece of s**t," Ermey said in an interview with the online Radar magazine, "and that he was disgusted with it and that the critics were going to have him for lunch. He said Cruise and Kidman had their way with him -- exactly the words he used." Ermey did not explain what he thought Kubrick may have meant by the expression, except to remark, "He was kind of a shy little timid guy. He wasn't real forceful. That's why he didn't appreciate working with big, high-powered actors. ... He would lose control."

Dude. I don't even care what the content is. I just skimmed in far enough to see...and yes. They misspell "despondent" not once, but twice.

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

"He told me it was a piece of s**t,"

Huh. I felt exactly the same way about it.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

awww. There's the tiniest little baby deer outside my window. I wish I had a camera.

It seems I've been tapped to update (since it is 7 years old, "update"=write a whole new one) manual. Which means track changes is likely in my future.

Serves me right.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Thanks ita. Did anything happen to Catherine's daughter-- the previews made it look like something might have.

Lee, no. She was kidnapped by the same people, but that and the roofies were just scare stuff. The CSI guys found her reasonably easily. Catherine wasn't sexually assaulted.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'm not watching CSI cause, hello? GA and no TiVo. But what about the whole Grissom and Sara thing? I have to say, "YUK". I liked her more for Nick and Greg for me. Catherine would have been better.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aimee, yeah, they're acting like they're together, but hiding it at work -- a look here and there, he brought her lunch one day, etc. Eh.

Total eh. We just started watching the reruns on Spike over the summer. I commented to Joe Shit. Can sara rub her tits on him any more? Jeebus.
