Kathy, Walter Cronkite thought so too, which was kind of good enough for me. He said it was impossible for him to believe that such a huge conspiracy would remain so murky after so many years.(Which is kinda his Midwestern way of saying "People be talkin'," I suppose.) in re the Shakespeare thing, I used to be more interested in the conspiracies until I read an op-ed or something that said that that was a speculation built on elitism...the fundamental belief that someone from such humble origins could not create something beautiful or lasting. Which sent me into such kneejerk Tom Joad overdrive, I've stayed on Team Will ever since. Cause, you know, with the writing, and the humblish origins.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, just looking at the picture of Rue makes me tear up a little. Which I realize is partly just me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No, it's not just you, Jesse. It's a beautiful and poignant poster.
And Cinna is ROCKING it.

I need to start thinking about how that movie probably won't be that good, because I am the WORST with too-high expectations. I mostly only like movies I think will be "just OK." If I think they will be great, I'm almost always disappointed.
Serenity, I'm looking straight at you.

Because books.
Oh, Cinna. Very nice.
I loved the books so much, the movies just seem like an awesome extra. So if they're halfway decent, I'll be happy. I felt the same way about the Harry Potter movies.

I think the movie is going to break me.
