Hey, some of my best friends are autodidacts. (And my mom.) Although as far as I know, she missed Proust, as have I, fwiw.
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.

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.

Unless you're unable to do so, it might be simpler to read the piece. She gets to Cusack in the last 4 paragraphs, and then there are a few clarifications in the comments.
I think Cusack's super cute, but his prettiness does not offset his legendary douchebaggery.
At 25, you stop looking up to shamans?
You stop saying things like music "seems the closest art to prayer and where the shamans roam." Along with the white buffalo, I guess.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Bwah! And, yeah, I think I'll stick to the 30-second ragging on McCain version.

"seems the closest art to prayer and where the shamans roam."
But...he's right.
Of course, it's possible that I'm affected (affectating? an affectationy person?).

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Isn't he the supposed pitsniffer?
Not that I can remember celebrity blind item gossip more easily than, oh, where I put my car keys or anything.

If he'd stopped at the closest art to prayer bit, I'd be fine with it. "Where the shamans roam" leaves me thinking, "you mean... like... the buffalo?"

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
All of the white font around Signs *slayed* me. I am laughing like a loon. Damn. I mean
water hoses - spritzer bottle - humidifier? And the speculation that the alien contingents immediately died in Michigan and Louisiana pure comedy gold. Although I now am wondering about the alien contigent who landed in Hawaii.

le nubian, the Hawaii contingent took one look and shouted FUCK THAT! They then promptly turned tail and ran to hide on nice, desiccated Mars, thinking the other idiots could have the stupid water planet.
