I felt really bad for my companion. She was mortified over something she had no control over. It was so, incredibly awkward.
Still, as I say, I pulled out of it.
I feel even worse for your friends. Bless them.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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.

The extra shitty part is that that day was the husband's birthday. So, first thing in the morning of his birthday, he had to take his beloved dog to the vet to be put to sleep. Poor noodle.

ION of mixed emotions for me: MGM Plans to Adapt Ray Bradbury's From the Dust Returned. I am ... wary. Yes, that's the best way to put it.
I'm at a loss regarding how would one go about making that without the entire audience assuming it was an Addams Family rip-off. I know Addams actually illustrated "Homecoming" back in the 40s and he and Bradbury talked about collaborating, but to anyone who doesn't know that history it's going to look derivative.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I was in the bookstore and they have (1) DVDs of some of the original "Dark Shadows" (includng "The Best of Barnabas") and (2) an entire series of books by Lara Parker (the original Angelique ... from Martinique ... who was in quite a pique).

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh! While watching the Avengers, I had a quote pop into my head that pretty much only Buffistas (if anyone) would appreciate: when Thor gets ejected in the Hulk cage from the ship and tumbles towards the earth , I immediately thought, "Nobody likes a blond(e) in a hamster ball."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'd like to see Burton do Star Trek.

If we're talking inappropriate for Burton, in erika's vein I give you James Elroy.
In another vein - J.G. Ballard.

Here's a long piece on the making of Thelma & Louise. Interesting to learn all the people who might have been cast: Jodi Foster, Michelle Pfeiffer, Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn...
