geeky only in the sense that I'm willing to look shit up
I'm pretty sure that's a core part of the definition.
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

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

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Juvenal's Satire VI is where "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" comes from. (Which translates to "Who will watch the watchmen?")
And THAT level of detail? KICKS ALL ASS.
And you kickass for figuring it out and making me look kickass when I point it out to my geeky boyfriends.

Yes, although I keep thinking he's Robert Downey Jr.
Thank god I wasn't to only one.
And oh my god, Carla Gugino! I've had the hots for her for a LONG time, ever since she was in the BBC version of The Buccaneers.
Dammit, now I'm wishing for Karen Sisco DVDs all over again.

Look hard for Watchman copies now. Back issues of the original series that once sold for under a dollar are climbing into the 5-10 dollar range, Watchman trades sold out at SDCC at retailers who charged $10 over retail, and DC plans to do a 200,000 print run and supposedly it has already been sold out...

Don't be like me and 'fess up; just casually say, "Well, the actual phrase IN ENGLISH isn't in the poster, sure. But I think the volume of Juvenal on the bookcase behind her is more than sufficient in that regard."
I've found myself losing hours just by clicking through Wikipedia when I've intended to look one thing up.
Actually, the wikipedia page on The Watchmen has the Juvenal reference. So I only had to click once in order to look like a total smarty-pants (if only I hadn't fessed up).
Dammit, now I'm wishing for Karen Sisco DVDs all over again.
The Buccaneers is great, if you like film adaptations of Edith Wharton.
Actually, I'd just say that it's unequivocally great.

Now tagless for your comfort.
The last panel of Buffy blew the top right off my head.
