Wow, you guys got chatty. Behold the meara of God.
Occasionally I'm callous and strange.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

The religious talk in the Buffy thread takes a turn:
billytea: Australia, BTW, is nominally Christian - we have no First Amendment, the Anglican Church is technically the State religion - but really it's a nation of pagans. Specifically, sun-worshippers.
BHP: So, slip,slop, and slather is a heresy promoted by the State?
Laura: I could be a sun worshipper
Tom Scola: (Going back to my old tagline) Hurray for the Sun God, he sure is a fun god, Ra!Ra!Ra!
(That last bit is why I love this place. I don't think anybody I know locally would even get that joke.)

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Betsy in Buffy, nonspoilery:
Right after the Gulf War started, I dragged the atheist husband to a Unitarian service, because I felt the need of some spiritual comfort.
I got a white guy playing a marimba solo in honor of Martin Luther King Day.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Betsy: I found Cordy's breasts really distracting; it seemed as if they were the focal point of most shots.
Billytea: And have you noticed how they seem to follow you around the room?
Betsy: Snerk. I did watch them pogoing up and down out of frame with some alarm.
Jon: You were pogoing while you were watching Cordelia?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I don't care how they derailed the Cordelia/ Angel train as long as it's off the trestle and down in the gully.
