Re: cougars. I had lunch with a college friend I haven't seen in forever and she is dating a 23 year old (she's almost 38). She said people were calling her a cougar but she's like 38 going on 21 (in looks and actions). I wouldn't consider her to be a cougar.

It's not in the 10 ten?

Oh, no. In a movie where the main character, a Pentecostal children's minister, talks about "using" them (her words!) and exposes them to seriously creepy adults (although most of their parents seem to fall into this category) every other scene, Ted Haggard's queeniness - which I don't know if I would have caught pre-scandal, although it seems pretty clear on the screen - is barely a blip. He mostly comes across as a condescending asshole for the way he talks to one of the protagonist kids.

I have studiously avoided that film for the sake of my blood pressure.

Probably a good policy. I think it's interesting that they confuse the terms "evangelical" and "Dominionist". I mean, the first evangelical President, at least in the modern use of the word, was Jimmy Carter, right?

Sparky, if you longhandedly spoilerfont with t span class="spoiler" instead of t font color="white" it means that people who've customised their stylesheets will still be protected--but on the offchance anyone's changed their wallpaper to navy and their own normal font to white, your spoiler will show right through.

Just a heads up--don't want to be a CSS nanny. Of course, why you weird people don't quickedit is beyond me. Isn't laziness where nirvana lives? Have I been doing this all wrong?

So, Jilli, on that note, have you seen Fido

I LOVED Fido. I need my own copy of it. I found it utterly charming.

I changed it. My lazy is pure because you gave me the fix and I didn't have to think out how to make it right.

Winners at Cannes.

Yay, Laurent Cantet!

I only noticed it because my "spoilerfont" is grey writing on a grey background for a faux FBI strikeout effect. White on white is kinda disappointing once I've gotten used to my way. So it only looks like I'm looking out for others. Patently false. It's all about me.

I could swear I posted a "what ita said!" earlier, but it's gone now. Eaten by the interbunny. (Except that my spoilerfont is simply grey text so I don't have to highlight. Because I'm a lazy-ass spoiler ho.)

I saw Ironman at a matinee and then Indy in the afternoon and I think Indy suffered by comparison.

yeah I think it really helped that the last movie I saw before Indy was In the Name of the King.
