Nutty in Movies on short actors:
I sort of think Johnny Depp is the kind of guy who, being short, makes regular-sized people feel like giraffes. Like, he gives off this vibe of "This is how tall people are supposed to be! What's wrong with you, Dr. J?"
Not all shortish people give off this vibe. Tom Cruise, for example. In a room of midgets, he would still come across as striving to be taller.
From Natter, so who cares about context?
Steph: Atkins! Seatbelts! Cilantro! Preferential voting! Pee-can vs. P'cahn!!!!
billytea: Lordy, I think Steph's been replaced by a chicken. With a death wish.
In Natter:
Emily: . . . on the whole I think we'd be better off with a smaller population, but I wouldn't kill off any individuals.
ita: I have a list, if you need it.
tina f. in Boxed Set:
Who cares and how does this involve Lex?
Matt the Bruins Fan:
What with the Kate Beckinsale and all? Actually I liked Underworld's visual treatment of the vampires, though the fully transformed werewolf CGI was appalling. This trailer reminded me of the Fright Night movies with their ear-to-ear maws. Too bad Julia Roberts is out of their salary range, they could have avoided the need for special effects altogether.
Madrigal Costello: I developed way too early, so the idea of being an A or B seems exotic and thrilling.
vwbug, in a list of reasons why our ceiling leak is so amusing:
7. Drip. Drip. Drip. Drip. Drip. Drip. Drip. Drip. Drip. Drip.
Hec offers the set-up. Ken Buddha zings it home. Sod (literally) the context.
In Bitches:
Hec: Hmmm, I think I missed the year that necro-bestiality was a literary fad.
Ken B: It's the new dead baby panda. Or doing it, at least.
It is my strongly held opinion that just about everything Madrigal says is quotable, and this offering in Bitches is no exception. (Plus it was the setup to my setup in the above COMM.)
I had a writing class where four students turned in stories about necro-bestiality, or at least in depth involvement with dead animals - and one did three of them. In another a student had each story feature a robotic prostitute of some kind - he was told to drop it for at least story, so he just called her a human, but forget to remove a passage that described her powering up by putting batteries up her ass. At least he wasn't like the guy who kept writing stories in which gorillas ate lesbians. That guy was a freak.

That would be, hellyes.
