Kim Darby was 20 or so, but if IIRC she was playing 14-ish.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
For those of you who remember how gracious, cool and stylish Vidal Sassoon was on Shear Genius, there's a documentary about his (quite interesting) life.
He was in an orphanage from ages 5-11, fought as a soldier and then, of course, revolutionized hairstyling and more.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We decided to try and watch Twilight last night. The DH lasted right up until Edward told Bella he'd been watching her sleep, at which point the DH said "This is horrifying and we have to turn it off right now."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
D actually enjoys the Twilight movies. The special efects are pretty good.
I forget the name of the actress playing Maddy in the new True Grit but she was 13 during filming. Her mom made her a costume to wear to her audition.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So I've finally seen Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Heathers. I wasn't really into Fast Times. It wasn't very engaging, and I didn't care much about any of the characters, and oh my God, I have no idea why Spicoli is so popular. He was so fucking annoying and overdone.
I loved Heathers, though! I could see the influence on Buffy ("What's your damage?") and, well, Mean Girls, obviously, but it still holds up as a great movie today. Funny and dark. And now I finally understand the context for "Fuck me gently with a chainsaw" and "I love my dead gay son."

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Ha! I know someone who always goes on about what an awesome person he is, and whenever he's done with his, "and then I rescued some puppies and fed the homeless." I always want to respond, "You're beautiful."

It made that episode where he and Janeway got turned into lizards (or something) and mated a lot less hard to deal with, however.
Not to be pedantic (who am I kidding, this is B.org), but IIRC it was Janeway and Paris, not Janeway and Chakotay, who got devolved into amphibians.
That's also the episode that made me stop watching; I couldn't believe they'd written something that stupid.
As for True Grit, I really enjoyed it. I had to look away for some of the violence, and the snake scene didn't actually work (snakes in hibernation in the winter wouldn't actually do what they did there), but the acting and the language were so great. Such a good movie.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
you people are persistent in having me remember every single bit of that episode, aren't you?

Now tagless for your comfort.
I had totally managed to wash it from my mind. Now, it's all coming back. *shudder*
