this google hit reminded me to check the date on things...
Bomb Threat and Then Fire Strike at Universal Studios
in the tiny print under the headline:
Published: September 6, 1987
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Nothing on the tube. What happened to Fox 11? They used to break into anything to cover a fire.

Yeah, I completely forgot about the time difference when I posted that.
It was pure fluke that I happened to be up so friggin' early this morning. It's Sunday! I wanted to sleep in! I was up by 6:00 (though I didn't really get out of bed until 7:00).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It's Sunday! I wanted to sleep in!
For me, 8:30 is sleeping in. One of my least favorite things about being a parent.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who makes mistakes with dates. A reporter asked the president of Universal about the bomb threat.

Hey. New board.
I saw Prince Caspian yesterday. I thought it was incredibly dull and ponderous, and everything Aslan said was horrifically "Chicken Soup for the Soul". Also, the score was completely ineffective, until the last song, which I thought was so obnoxious as to be offensive. Then too, If I hadn't read the books a dozen times and enjoyed the first movie, I would have had no idea what was going on. Couldn't they have had a couple of hundred fewer shots of Lucy's face looking cute and mysterious and replaced them with at least a LITTLE exposition?
In the plus column.... um. Reepicheep was cute, if way underused.
ETA: Edited because "pithy" does not mean exactly what I thought it meant.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
So, if I absolutely hated the first movie, and didn't feel that it took me into the land of Narnia, I shouldn't see Prince Caspian? Because, wow, I so did not feel any magic in the first movie, didn't care a jot about the characters or the story, and hated the inconsistent CGI. Laughed riotously at the beaver family be smashed inconsiderately to smithereens by our supposed heroes.
Loved Mr. Tumnus' goaty landing strip, though, naughty me.
(I loved the books, although I haven't read them in decade)/

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
In the plus column.... um. Reepicheep was cute, if way underused.
Also, if I heard correctly, Eddie Izzard. Does that make Aslan/Reepicheep slash less or more acceptable? Discuss.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just watched Waitress. It was a lovely little movie and absolutely hilarious at times, so understated with its humor, like it hardly acknowledges its punchlines. I had some small issues with the ending ( the relationship with the doctor just sort of...ends, kind of anticlimactically, and it's hard to tell what the point of it all really was when Jenna's real epiphany appears to come when she sees her baby [although I guess he did show her that she had the ability to be happy]; and I really didn't think Earl would just disappear from her life that easily, especially if she stayed in the same town ), but it was still sweet and fun.
I really enjoyed the other two waitresses, and I thought the redheaded one was very cute and really pretty post-She's All Thating. And then when the credits roll, I discovered that it was Adrienne Shelly! Oh man. I'd forgotten she was an actress too. She was even in an episode of Oz ! Stupid random murdering dude.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Aims and I saw Indy 4 on Friday.
Didn't like it. I mean, it wasn't Spider-Man 3 levels of not liking it, but I didn't like it.
