Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

le n,

That was one of the things that bugged, I mean they went out of their way to explain the R-naught/R-2 factors, etc. why not the virology of the virus too. If it's a normal virus, then once you have it you should be immune until it mutates.

The DH and I had a long conversation about Jude Law's character on the way home from the movie, he thought the way you did, but then I pointed out the homemade haz mat suit after he got better, we both sorta agreed that he'd lied about being sick. Because he should have been behaving more like Matt Damon's character.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

no, you make excellent points. You have me totally convinced. I told Beau and you convinced him too.

you need to go into politics. You have two voters on your side.

Here is a piece on the casting of Cloud Atlas.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well that's good news. I wonder if Natalie Portman was ever seriously considered, or if she's just in a phase in her career where she's up for every role until she's definitively rejected.

They're making a movie out of Cloud Atlas?

Color me skeptical. That novel is a tour de force, but it is so because it's a novel. I am giving the side-eye to a movie adaptation.

I'm less skeptical than I would be if it weren't being adapted by the Wachowskis. Even if they completely frell it up, it won't be boring.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They bored me with Reloaded and Revolutions, so I'll wait and see.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Reloaded definitely improves upon rewatch. I should know, I've seen it like a dozen times. The fucking car chase alone gets me every single time.

Revolutions is too cerebral (and WAY too much Smith). I don't really care that the Brothers wanted the story to be about the machines (or the software running the machines). That's not who I gave a shit about.

Jesus, does Gosling have a batch of septuplets to send to college? Why is he in a movie per week?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

BTW, ita !, one of the Americorps volunteers I work with (but not in my crew) looks Just Like Gosling. And gets that all the time, apparently. It's very distracting and I swear he was flirting with me today, which was even more distracting, but I couldn't seem to stop.
