Oh dear lord, I think I need to go see it.
I kissed him, and I told him that I loved him. And I killed him.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is that so you can burst into wracking sobs every time someone calls?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'd probably just use it for my siblings then.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm with ita !, I think it would make me too sad to use it as a ring tone.

I try and stay away from emotion-inspiring ring tones, you know? Unless the emotion is pure and unbridled joy, and even then.
I did have one friend whose custom ring was the Profitt theme, because he was creepy like that, but that was about it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I just have to share this gripey Muppet review with someone 'cause it's bugging me so much. Not quite enough to want to engage with the guy and argue with him (plus, she added grudgingly, it's just his opinion, I guess he's entitled to it, or whatever), but enough to still be mildly nettled.
He dislikes it because it's too hip (after all, it's not like Jim Henson was a late beatnik/early hippie/proto-Yippie tweaker of conventions who liked to sneak adult layers into his wholesome kids' entertainment--er, no wait, never mind) and self-referential (come on, it wasn't like the Muppet Show was a backstage comedy about the world's longest-running terrible vaudeville show, complete with its own snarking too-cool-for-it-all hecklers--er, no, wait, never mind) and too full of one and two-line cameos by a ludicrous parade of celebrities with no connection aside from loving the Muppets and wanting to be in a movie with them (a RADICAL departure from every other Muppet venture ever--er, no, wait, never mind), and... oh, never mind.
It just reads like a review by someone who has hallowed, gilded and entirely static memories of all things Muppety in his mind but has not actually watched a Muppet project in at least a decade, and whose knowledge of Jim Henson begins and ends with "Created beloved institution Sesame Street (which I also haven't watched in decades)."

Well, clearly it's a betrayal of Henson's original vision. [link]
