'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My Princess Bride/Chicago Hope Patinkin love was pretty darned pure until I started seeing him in interviews and hearing about the divaing. Not that such things matter though, he's a real talent and does his job well.
I can't even explain why I love Montegna so much. His nice guy characters just make me want to hug him. Plus, he reads the Spencer novels and I can't get enough of his voice.
Another CM question-what's the relative rank of the Patinkin/Montegna character--do they outrank Hotch? Power seems to fluctuate.
I was wondering about that. I thought Patinkin outranked Hotch, but Hotch seems to outrank Montegna.
Allyson, that's awesome. I so want a plush HIV microbe!
CDC people
[Makes shrieky Donald Sutherland-in-Body-Snatchers noise]
Er, sorry. CDC was a client on a project. But I'm sure the people I dealt with weren't the people you met. They can't all be that stupid.
and Lawrence Kasdan.
Neat!
(I owe you a call. Someday when I'm not falling-down tired, I swear.)

I could be wrong, but I think Hotch outranks all of them. He's the head of the BAU. BUT, because of Patinkin's experience, he would often take over from Hotch whereas I think Montegna respects the heirarchy a touch more. Not totally as his experience is also great than Hotch's.
oooh Romba inventor
D'oh. I worked out how to set the scheduler on my Roomba. Forget I said anything.
Julia Ormond was on CSI:NY. When she smiles she has a gazillion wrinkles around her mouth. Looks really good on her.
I love Reid, and I do want to take care of him. Also, though (or perhaps relatedly) he is a physical type I tend to be attracted to as well.
A beginner’s guide to ‘Twilight’
Yeah, we've been talking about that article and the phenomena in general over in literary. It's getting beyond freaky. Seven year-old girls asking Rob Pattinson to bite them and other girls scratching their necks to blood runs freely just prior to meeting him.
So far the reviews on the movie seem to be universally "meh," stating that the screenwriter improved on Meyer's clunky prose and overwrought dialogue and that Kristin Stewart refuses to let Bella be a complete doormat. However, the USA Today reviewer pretty much loathed it.
Sounds like the actors are better than the material, at least.
