Jess PMoon:

I've never seen an Ophelia I liked, on film or onstage. I might have liked Kate Winslet, but the blinding light from Kenneth Brannagh's ego hurt my eyes, and I had to turn the movie off after the first half hour.

kat perez: Co-worker has played Celin Dion's rendition of "All By Myself" three times in a row. Ima start checking for still growing nail clippings because obviously homechick's a demon.

Going back a ways in Angel, Rick V. explains why he's late to the starting gate in watching the show:

I tried watching Angel once, but because I started Buffy so late (end of Season 5), I didn't know or care about any of the Angel characters and it was hard to understand what was going on. Although the title character was supposed to be a vampire, he just seemed to be a big galoot with a goofy look on his face. He occasionally substituted a vaguely dyspeptic look, which the other characters interpreted as existential angst. To me it looked more like he had gotten into a bad batch of pig's blood. There was a beautiful but unpleasant woman who appeared to be suspended mysteriously between her past life as an ill-tempered cheerleader and her future life as an ill-tempered soccer mom. Why was she mixed-up with the big galoot? And there was a little Willow-come-lately brunette with a screeching voice and no apparent role to play in the story. I admit that the austere, cynical intellectual showed some promise as a character, but only because I'm an austere, cynical intellectual myself. And the green guy was interesting. At first I thought that he was just a standard Sunnydale demon, spruced-up a bit for the big city. You know, suburban yokel Clem goes on "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" and gets made over into some sort of verdant urban hipster. But in the show that I watched, the green guy was never in the same scene as the cynical intellectual. So my alternative theory was that the green guy was in fact the intellectual, who suffered from occasional Hulk-like transformations into his flamboyant green alter-ego, possibly triggered by certain show tunes, or by impure thoughts about the title character. I was too confused to continue watching.

Steph L channels her fantasy character promo for Angel:

"Hi. I'm J. August Richards, TV's Charles Gunn. I wanted to set the record straight for all those people who confuse me with my character. I walk around shirtless every chance I get. Thank you, and have a pleasant evening."

Kat Perez, with words of wisdom after her office ordeal:

Note to self: "Oye Como Va" is a Celine demon repellent. Who knew?

Bureaucrats, in the middle of somewhat heated policy wonkery, still being Buffistas, manage to break out in song:

Kristen: What happened waaaaaay back in the day with DB getting sent to hell?

Elena: Don't know, Kristen. [...] I'm not entirely sure that there were even 'Buffistas' then.

Daniel C. Jensen: Oh it was long ago and it was far away....

Kristen: And so much better than it is today.

Elena: It never felt so good, it never felt so right.

Daniel C. Jensen: And we were glowin' like the metal on the edge of the "Scythe."

Perkins: Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night

Daniel C. Jensen: We can see Lindsey swing by the truck's headlights...

About the new two most recent Star Wars films:

Jess PMoon:.

Weren't all the characters named by a 3 year-old?

hayden:

I had assumed so. And that a 3-yr-old came up with the plots and characterizations. I figured that the actors were directed by Deep Blue, though, hot off of his win over Kasparov.

Sean K:

What on Earth do you find childlike about the name Count Dooku? Jar-Jar? Watto? Shmi? Sebulba? Naboo? Mace Windu?

Honestly, Jess...

Jess PMoon:

Mostly the choice and arrangement of the letters, Sean. Why?

kat perez, discussing favorite/unfavorite seasons:

See, the only thing I might have liked to have seen from S4 Angel was BRSD, cause evil and platform shoes truly are a match made in heaven.

Jesse in Natter:

Bizarre fake marriages don't last like they used to.

Fay:

Consider my kinsey not so much skewed as flat on its back with its knees akimbo.
