Oooh, maybe you're right! I'll have to keep an eye on that guy.
Oh, wait, never mind. It's Sir Henry Baskerville, who specifically says that he's spent most of his life in the States and Canada.
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
So I wasn't the only one that didn't know about Red 2? Good; I felt like my geek mana was dwindling...
Watched Haywire tonight; wasn't impressed by the script, but the fight scenes were solid, and damn, was it nice to see a female action star with strong shoulders and solid legs.
(Although I remain irritated that despite the yoga and weight loss, my hips are too wide and my short T. Rex arms render it impossible -- so far -- for me to change my handcuffed position from behind the back to in front.
Yeah, I have handcuffs, and yeah, it's a pointless goal of mine. Don't judge.
I think I'll try again now, with the cuffs.)
ETA: HA! Typing with cuffs on! I DID IT! FUCK YEAH!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

And shot like an action hero, not a sex object, and who goes through most of the movie in jeans, hoodie, and flat-heeled boots. I loved the escape/chase scene in Dublin. So much.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
ETA: HA! Typing with cuffs on! I DID IT! FUCK YEAH!
I just adore you, Erin.

Hee—it's nice to happy people who love you for you ubergeekiness.
Now, I need to decide on a new goal. I can't talk Dan into letting me see if I can actually make him pass out by applying pressure with my thighs (I am SORELY disappointed in him) and I've tried on myself to see if I can really temporarily paralyze myself by pinching my radial nerve (not so far).
But I succeeded with the handcuffs, so I'm sure I'll get the radial nerve thing down!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you want a safe way to choke someone out experimentally with your arm, I can tell you one.
KRAV THING, FREAKS.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
From io9:
Men in Black 3 will erase all meaning in your life
Will Smith has starred in lots of formulaic movies. And he knows better than anyone that there's something comforting as well as exhilarating about a movie that plays out according to a set of steps. Which is what makes Men in Black 3 so weird: it's a movie where the blockbuster formula is the opposite of comforting.
The random plot twists and unfunny jokes in Men in Black 3 are so oppressive, you'll come away with a deep gnawing sense of the futility and meaninglessness of existence. This is a film so empty, it leaves you eagerly anticipating the heat death of the cosmos.
Guess I won't be seeing it.

I would like to know, ita ! (I mean, I have more leg strength than arm strength, but arms are better placed and have more finesse. I'm open to either leg OR arm's being the vehicle for pressure-unconsciousness.)
I'd read that i09 article, and I didn't have any desire to see MIB3 anyway, but that killed it.
