Are there more chapters to the Curiosity story? I can't find a link.
Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

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.

I suspect those chapters are in progress; it was a completed fic originally. The first chapter was written before the third part of the series (Bedtime Stories), so I suspect scifigrl47 is going to go and add more to it now that the events of Bedtime Stories are complete.
Also, as much as I adore her writing, she's working on two different series at the same time, so not everything gets updated in a timely manner. She also has a habit of leaving a WIP to start another story in the series that comes after the WIP. Those will get finished, but then the middle is left just kind of hanging until she gets around to it. I've just gotten to where I won't read her stuff until it is complete.

I've been able to resis that habit, because I know i'd never get back and finish things.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
We're watching The Fighter on Netflix, since it's expiring. Sadly, Netflix doesn't seem to have a cut that excises Christian Bale from this movie.

Indeed.
I still enjoyed the movie (for values of "enjoy" that include "covering my eyes during most of the actual boxing scenes"), because it so perfectly portrayed blue-collar Massachusetts in the 1990s. It's not what most people think of when they think of my home state, but it's reality for most of the residents there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Bale plays a prick of an older brother/manager? There was a time where Warrior and The Fighter were muddied in my head. Without being sure what The Fighter is about, that time is still past, I think.

I watched Sleepwalk with Me tonight, Mike Birbiglia's autobiographical film that was produced by Ira Glass. It starts off kind of slow, but really gets interesting and funny as it progresses. I would highly recommend watching it.

Ah...I composed it, but clearly got distracted before I hit send.
Movie 43--any word? It seems to have been filmed, maybe finished in 2010, but not released for two plus years. Because of suckage?

That reminds me, they aired the trailer for Movie 43 before Cirque du Soleil, which, wtf? Cirque was a family friendly movie and they're airing a trailer that says pussy? "Mummy, what's that?" "It's a cat, sweetheart".
Actually, that trailer was the highlight of my movie-going experience that day.
