My favorite actor swap was on Roseanne. I loved how they would subtly refer to it from time to time.

Heh. Wrong!Becky was just on HIMYM.

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

hunh. Bunuel's version of Wuthering Heights (I've already forgotten the title in my trip from there to here) seems to be one of the few titles of his Netflix doesn't carry. I added The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie instead.

Cool points though to Bunuel who did it on purpose, casting two different actresses in his version of Wuthering Heights and alternating them without warning.

Which he later also did for THE OBSCURE OBJECT OF DESIRE, although I think in that case there were meta reasons (i.e. one of the actresses buggered off) that Bunuel ran with.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

My favorite actor swap was on Roseanne. I loved how they would subtly refer to it from time to time.

I loved the episode where First Becky (Alicia Goranson) came back after Sarah Chalke left. Everytime Alicia walked into a room, someone would yell at her, "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?"

You won't regret it. On a similar note, I have Viridiana at home on my tivo.

Excellent! We should watch-n-post and freak everyone out with our surrealist commentary.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

30 Rock was hilarious last night.
