that is hilarious, billytea.
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm never sure about Our Valued Customers, but I did like this: [link] (re:BatAffleck).

I remembered the song lyric that I noticed in World's End--Gary says "I'm free to do what I want, any old time." I don't think he used any more of the song than that, or even that it was related to anything else--but I'm not up on the genre.

Compassionately intolerant

I'm proud to say, this was my first impulse!
Now I'm ashamed I resisted it.

Question--was the scene near the start of the movie where Gary was telling his story to the circle of people AA or a psychiatric facility?
I thought the latter, my sister thinks the former.

Did anyone here catch *all* the quintet's surnames? I sure didn't.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I thought the former until the reveal at The World's End when Gary shows Andy his bandages. Then I agreed with you.

That's when I switched too, but my sister said the room was wrong. I have to admit--I don't remember the room.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The latter was my take.

ita, I have read a review that it was a AA meeting (but everyone was in institutional green), but the bandages seem to indicate to me that while he has a substance abuse problem, his crisis was a suicide attempt .

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It was definitely not an AA meeting. AA meetings have very distinctive twelve-step literature on the walls, which if you know what to look for you'll see in movies as well as real life. It was definitely a suicide attempt support group of some kind.
