Frankenbuddha's take on The Curse of the Golden Flower in (where else?) the Movie thread:
All in all, I really liked it, but it's may be the first movie I've seen where the scenery chews the actors.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

In fairness, I have to note that I'm not 100% sure that's an original comment (or if where I may have read it even concerned the movie in question; certainly Argento's more outre movies could be described that way if the director wasn't carving bigger pieces of the cast AND the scenery than the decor was), and also that it was meant as a compliment (if also a caveat for OTT impaired).

I wonder how much furnace people charge during January.

It might be cheaper to just convert cash to Canadian dollars and burn those for warmth.

I once had a discussion with a vegan who said there was no reason for any human to eat meat. I asked him what the Inuit were going to live on. He said I was mean.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I am shocked that nobody else has COMM'd this exchange yet:
Hec: If I were a Great White Shark, I might think about taking a vacation down the coast. Of course, if I were a Great White Shark the only thought in my head would be, "EAT!"
Steph L: And possibly, "Hey, all this cartilage ROCKS!"
tommyrot: Also, "I have to keep moving or I'll die. Because I'm a fucking shark."
Also, "What's the deal with shark-fin soup?"
And, "I better make my hotel reservations for Shark Week soon, as they tend to book up pretty quickly."
And, "I wonder if Mary Jane will go to the Shark Week dance with me?"
amych: And, "Curse those Jets, with their snappy, memorable theme song and their Jazz Hands!"

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I am starving. Please note that this is due to a lack of breakfast on my part, not the conversation regarding the rendering of manflesh.
