I just checked and Tinker Tailor Soilder Spy is opening here tomorrow! I must drag TCG to see it this weekend.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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.

I totally want to do absinthe just the way Johnny Depp does in From Hell. In a bathtub like that.
I've drunk absinthe in a clawfoot tub, in that decadent hotel room I had for the Washington F2F.
Of course, that made my bloodstream absorb the alcohol twice as fast and I was sloppy drunk by the time I'd packed and gone down to the restaurant. When I left after lunch and saw the guy with a bear cub on a leash outside, it took a moment before I realized I wasn't hallucinating. (National Geographic had offices next door, and they were going to have a photo shoot.)

Oh that's hilarious.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I had to read that twice to see if you were in SF or somewhere else to make sure which mental image I should have of a bear cub.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Suzi is, apparently, me.
Oh. BEAR bear.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Suzi is, apparently, me.
Oh. BEAR bear.Makes me instantly think of this:
Katara: The King is throwing a party at the palace tonight for his pet bear.
Aang: Don't you mean platypus bear? Katara: No, it just says, 'bear'.
Sokka: Certainly you mean his pet skunk bear?
Toph: Or his armadillo bear?
Aang: Gopher bear?
Katara: Just, 'bear'.
(short pause)
Toph: This place is weird

Bwah! It was probably about 20 lbs. or so, very cute, and when the handler let me touch it the fur was so thick and coarse it felt like the bristles on those shoe brushes. Also, it wasn't too particular about where it peed (including on itself), which handily eliminated any longing I might have felt for one as a pet even if I didn't know they grow to upwards of half a ton and occasionally eat people.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wow. IO9 is pretty negative about The Devil Inside, especially if you read how they describe the ending. I'd be pissed too.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
What the hell kind of ending is that?

The kind I wish the filmmakers had been very visibly present for at the premiere...
