Or alternatively, Hepzibah and Mehitabel.
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
And her cat deserts her!
Smart cat.

Pete has informed me that I can never name a cat Pyewacket, because it sounds ridiculous. Yes, I've shown him the movie, but that didn't change his mind. But since he's okay with vampire-themed cat names, I'm not going to complain. Much.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I've been to a restaurant named Pyewacket in Chapel Hill, NC. Don't know whether it still exists. But a fine place for a Saturday lunch.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sadly, it's no longer. But still remembered by many. Also, you should come back down here for a visit sometime!

move out and draw fire
I recently found a high school report I did on I Bell, Book, and Candle. It said basically "this had a really cool poetic name that it totally failed to live to, and I guess it must be a metaphor for something, like that women should stay away from men because if they don't they lose all their powers."
A+ .

Because books.
The conceit is that's how she knows it's really love -- she's lost her powers. But there are a million ways to twist that so she can keep them *and* realize she's actually in love. Definitely the weakest part of the movie for me, too.
I have such fondness for Bewitched (the show, not the movie) and even I Dream of Jeannie, having grown up with them, and I don't think I got that these incredibly cool powerful women with actual *powers* let the men they loved dictate when and how to use them.
Of course, if Bewitched were made today, there wouldn't be a show, because I think the perception is that most guys would say, "Sure! Twitch me up a meal and a big-screen TV and season tickets!"

One thing I enjoyed about Bewitched is occasionally Samantha would get tired of Darren, put on her cool black witch's dress, and head off with her mother to hang with the other witches. I was fascinated by the whole witch world.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So, that's what The Descendants is about. I didn't stick around long enough to find out how it turns out. I'll write the money off, no problem.
Man, it was between that or The Artist. Picked wrong.

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.
Bummer. The GF suggested going to see This Means War this weekend for our date night, but the reviews are pretty universally awful.
