Pfft. You're not even a cub, much less a cougar. Besides, you need to look...tawnier.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Dude, I think that kid was born after I hit puberty. Ergo? Cougar country.
Anyhow, I own bronzer.

Yeah, I kinda figured that was your Bulletproof Narrative Kink. Mine, of course, is the undead (vampires preferred, but zombies are okay too), which is why I felt CHEATED. Cheated, I tell you!
Even if Young Master Shia makes me feel like a dirty fuckin' cougar from hell.
Yeah, I get that. He was pretty decorative.

He's not SUPPOSED TO BE DECORATIVE!
HE'S THE GOOFY KID FROM HOLES, FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!!
Ahem. I mean, it seriously feels like JUST yesterday I was watching him in kids movies with the nephew.
I mean, I have OTHER bulletproof narrative kinks. But somehow, I don't see the Indy franchise as giving me rentboys.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So, Jilli, on that note, have you seen Fido (starring Carrie-Anne Moss, Billy Connolly, and Dylan Baker)? I just watched it. It's very amusing. It's set in an alternate '50s post-zombie apocalypse where zombies have collars to keep them from eating people. Except Timmy's zombie's collar malfunctions.
It's sort of like Pleasantville meets Shaun of the Dead.

Re: cougars, I had to define the term for my mother recently. I went with "sexually rapacious middle-aged woman" and then we had to have an argument over what middle-aged is. I said 35-50 (making me middle-aged) and my mother was deeply offended (she is 58) and said middle-aged is 45-60. What say you all? In my mind, a cougar is, like, 42. Isn't Samantha on Sex and the City the archetype?

Because books.
I thought Mrs. Robinson was the archetype. The original one, anyway.
It's going to be a while before Shia LeBoef is *not* that kid from Holes for me.

I think Shia LaBoeuf is quite talented and has done a good job getting out from under the Disney umbrella. (Plus he's very cute, and I'm young enough that I don't have to feel that dirty for saying that.)
I think I've figured out why I had such a poor reaction to Indy... this movie is like Indy fanfic, and Indy's not my fandom.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
1. Shia La Boeuf isn't actually that young. I look at him and I see late 20s and the scrawniness is a permanent feature, not a bug of adolescence. Wasn't there a bit of a scandale about it back when he was on Disney, because his IMDB listing had him as like 15 when he was actually considerably older? It appears that age-fuzziness persists, because he's theoretically 21 right now, which I'm pretty sure is a lie.
2. You're not a cougar unless you (a) could reasonably -- not just theoretically -- have given birth to the target in question; (b) have a tiger-print themed bedroom; (c) don't know what appropriate cleavage would be for an ordinary trip to the grocery store; and (d) actually make rawr noises, not for the funny of it, in public.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I like Nutty's definition of cougar, if only because I can hide behind the tiger-print requirement forever.
