Oh hell, I'll just quote the whole thing. JZ in movies:
The Postman always annoyed me--not that I've ever seen it; the premise just sounds marvelously absurd. I could so very easily imagine G.K. Chesterton sitting down in the afterglow of The Man Who Was Thursday and tossing off a hundred pages about a little man wandering through East Apocalyptica, finding an abandoned mailbag, and making a joyfully demented knightly quest of the delivery of its contents.
I'm quite certain, though, that Costner took it all horribly seriously, sucked all the fun out of it, and never had his postman pretend to be an anarchist pretending to be a postman pretending to be an anarchist, or have him pursue an enemy who escapes first on an elephant and then in a balloon and flings ironical Dadaist taunts at him from a majestic height.
However, it remains my firm opinion that my secret fantasy Postman (directed by Terry Gilliam and starring Sean Astin) is one of the most charmingly insane nonexistent adaptations of an unwritten imaginary novel never filmed. Also that Costner ought to be spanked in a porn-free manner for his perpetration of the actual version.
More erika, in Bitches, context provides itself:
I hate to buy bras. I'm not the same size twice. Either the sizes are funky or I have The Amazing Shapeshifting Rack.
I don't know what to say about my breasts=comedy gold.

speculating on
Andrew's
therapy:
Session notes: Subject continues to display polymorphous perverse ideation related to unrealized ego solidification. Androgyny of appearance lately enhanced by (rather unfortunate) grooming choices. Fixation on unattainable sexual objects continues. Note to self: research Zelig complex. Applicable? (Billing note: session ran long, bill Council)
Next session: Encourage subject to reach some conscious gender identification. Reinforce choices of sexual objects from among the living.
I'm not even sure I know what it means. Sure looks funny, though.
Thomash, in Angel, speculating on
Gunn's ever-increasing roster of powers:
Gunn: I know Kung Fu!
Angel: Show me
Harmony (Runs into cafeteria yelling): Angel's fighting Gunn.
(Fred, Lorne, Wes, Harmony and Keanu run into the boardroom to watch).
cathy, (non spoilery) in Angel:
it would make sense that a slayer would have to be fairly young given the job. I mean, I'm 36 and I don't even like going out on weeknights anymore. I think if they made me slayer, the vampires would win.
In Fic,
askye: So....is this an AU where Nikita and Michael are gods. Or is this some long convulated way of explaining why they should be making hot monkey sex?
erikaj: I'm guessing what she said means that there was no pleasure in sex till the god/goddess action.
Dana: Yeah, apparently the Greeks and everyone who came before them...didn't come before then.
ita:
Post-resurrection post-vamping pre-pregnancy she seemed pretty sane.

My mother occasionally makes this claim about my aunt. I don't see it, myself.
