I can almost buy her not being that good. But I'm unsure about what sort of training you get to have a desk job-- spook stuff?
The girl's not playing with a full deck, Giles. She has almost no deck. She has a three.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I don't know. But she ran right through laundry! Disguise!

I hated her anyway. I bought Joan Allen's character's change of direction (although she was dumb to go to the park--did she know she was being tracked? I got confused about which person told Straitharn's character she was talking to Bourne) but as for her it seemed a little fast to make that "not under duress" call. And she can't emote for shit, which doesn't help.

Has anyone seen The Golden Door? I hadn't heard of it, but it is playing at one of the local theaters, and I thought it looked interesting. We might go see it tomorrow, and I would love to hear if anyone had seen it before.

They've changed the name of The Dark is Rising to The Seeker: The Dark is Rising.

I know. I don't understand how that name change helps. LOTS of people know what The Dark is Rising is.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I don't understand how that name change helps.
It's certainly not helping me ear-worm wise.

You smelled the smell?
I saw a trailer for "The Dark is Rising" and it bore no discernible relation to the novel as i remember it- but it has been a long time.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I don't know what The Dark Is Rising is, but it's a killer title. Making it a subtitle is dumb.
