I don't know why, but now when I get that song in my head, I almost immediately go to Grover ("near....far"), so it makes me laugh.
I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
My main memories of seeing Titanic are:
Kate Winslet is a motherfucking toe-dancing, beer-swilling, orgasm-having, axe-wielding Gilded Age goddess; Leo DiCaprio is a perfectly adequate acolyte to her divinity; Victor Garber breaks my heart; old couple hugging and crying on their tiny bed in steerage break my heart again; Celine Dion is making sounds, but why?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
old couple hugging and crying on their tiny bed in steerage break my heart again;
That's not in steerage. That's Isidor and Ida Strauss, in first class. They owned (or partially owned) Macy's. Isidor refused to get into a lifeboat while there were still women and children and younger men on board, and Ida refused to leave the ship without her husband.

And now they're breaking my heart *again* again. Curse you, Hil, and your soul-crushing facts!

There are a few articles about them here [link] . A Yiddish newspaper from NYC is reprinting a bunch of their original reporting about the Titanic. It includes an article about a planned public memorial service for them, but so many people showed up that they had to cancel it because a crowd that big could get dangerous. [link]

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So has anyone seen Titanic in 3-D? Anyone know how good the 3-D is?
Titanic really benefits from the big screen. Scenes of the ship sinking shows how insignificant people appear in relation to the disaster, if that makes sense.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
None of you hates that song as much as I hate that song! That song is one of the demos available on cheap electronic keyboards, the only such that kids recognize, and therefore I have heard it tinnily reproduced, generally more than one at a time, off time from each other, at least six times EVERY DAY SINCE THE MOVIE CAME OUT.
Your hate is a mere pale simmering indifference next to the searing incandescence of my hate.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I don't mind the song - it was the fact that it was playing pretty much non-stop ALL. SUMMER. LONG. It was everywhere, played/sung by people of varying abilities with varying "stylings".
