Can you go outside for a few minutes to cool off?
I fell down and got confused. Willow fixed me. She's gay.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

It's a fun movie. Just got up to a Pierce Brosnan song. He so cannot sing, at all, but bravo to him for going for it anyway.

It is the fear of hearing Pierce sign badly that keeps me away. I don't want to take away from my adoration.

I actually find the bad singing rather charming. It's not just bad -- it's awful. Really awful. He had to know that he cannot sing, and yet, he agreed to do a musical anyway.

I know I will succumb at some point. I'm hoping the adorable outweighs the cringe worthy.

Wow. A NROTC student at my university was kicked out of NROTC after two other NROTC students saw him kissing another guy at a party and reported it to superior officers. [link]

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I saw it before seeing any reviews or really anything other than one trailer, and I adored the hell out of it.
Apparently Brosnan knew nothing about the movie, including that it was a musical, when he agreed to do it - just that he'd be starring opposite Meryl Streep, which was good enough for him. And even though singing is clearly not his comfort zone - yeah, I agree that it's not a problem for me. I like the fact that it's real people singing in real voices - some of them are great, some of them aren't. I mean, I wouldn't want all musicals to do that, but I think it works with this one, because the songs themselves are so ubiquitous, and because the film is so joyous and inclusive and all that. I dunno. Some people loathed it - for me, I started off thinking "Yeah, whatever" but was totally seduced by all the strong, sympathetic older women getting to be themselves, have fun, have sex lives and flirt (or not) and not get punished for it. I cannot think of another film that made me feel so happy and hopeful about people - which is much more than I'd been expecting of an ABBA cheesefest when I walked in the door.

This. All of this.

“Not dead yet!”
I'm watching the last half hour of the original Buffy movie.
"You broke up with my machine?"
Waiting for the best death scene ever.
