Trolling online rentals to rot my brain in celebration of finishing my exams. Just watched the trailer for The Way, with Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez (playing his real dad's fictional son), and now I want to cry. It looked good, but not tonight. Man, Emilio is looking more and more like pops.
Jayne: Here's a little concept I been workin' on. Why don't we shoot her first? Wash: It is her turn.

An unfinished autobiography and a 1980s biopic turned Frances Farmer, one of the great golden-era stars, into a lobotomized zombie. The main trouble: Frances Farmer wasn’t lobotomized.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That writer is glossing over the fact that while she was incarcerated in the mental hospital she was pimped out as a whore by the staff, which was not uncommon practice in the "chronically ill" section of that hospital.
I've seen some video clips of Frances Farmer after she was released from the mental institution and she's not zombie-like at all. (Though it should be noted that most lobotomies did not make people into vegetables, and you probably wouldn't have noticed whether they did or didn't have a lobotomy from their appearance on a talk show.)
I've also read her autobiography and it belies the notion that she had a lobotomy.
I guess I'm saying that to rectify one bit of misinformation he's discounting all the many other abuses she was subjected to for being defiant.

That's not what I got out of that article. The mention of PTSD symptoms indicates that there was a living hell going on, and it's more than one bit of misinformation he was looking at, but rather a whole nest of it. (This is a not-infrequent Seattle media topic.)

This looks like it's easily going to be the most gorgeous Pixar film yet.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
That Brave trailer is just the antidote I needed after being forced to watch the Lorax trailer umpteen times this weekend. (DH is taking Dylan to the screening on Saturday because he is a better parent than I am.)

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.
That is awesome.
