Jason Dohring interview over at Buzzfeed re. VM movie: [link]
Biceps, hello! He's got Vulcan ears.
“A lot of that emotion was very real for me. I think I was in love with [Kristen] for the three years we made that show,” he says. “Like, I truly felt like I would die without her, and I think that’s what underlined everything people loved about them as a couple.”
Hahaha. Dohring was married (and still is to the same woman, as far as I know) the entire time they filmed VM. I'm pretty sure it's just a show business speaks for immersing yourself in a role but that's gonna stir up fringey tinhat faction of VM fandom something fierce (I'm sure there is one).
He was saying stuff like that when the show was on the air too. Oh, Jason.
Oh man, my LoVe feelings were so enormous.
Has anyone else seen Sister Mary Explains It All? I saw it over the weekend, and I still can't get it out of my mind.
We start (briefly) in 1959, as the 3rd grade class of Sister Mary Ignatius at Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrows performs a Christmas pageant written by one of the students. Within 5 minutes, we've flashed forward 25 years. Sister Mary Ignatius (Diane Keaton) has invited her students to perform a 25th-anniversary performance of the old pageant. 4 of the students have agreed, but they're late arriving because of a minor car crash.
At gatherings like this, Sister Mary Ignatius takes questions from the audience. Most of these questions ask her to discuss Catholic doctrine. We soon learn that Sister Mary Ignatius has a traditional view of morality, especially sexual morality. She also has her current favorite student, Thomas, assist her -- largely by reciting catechism.
The 4 former students show up to perform the pageant, and the plot takes a not unpredictable turn. Conflict results, and then the plot takes a screaming 120-degree turn to the completely (to me, anyway) unexpected.
Excellently done, but I imagine that anyone that went to a Catholic (or possibly other religious) school at an early age could identify more closely with the characters and issues. But I felt it enough that I still can't get it out of my head. To a large degree, it's Keaton's show, and it's easy to believe Sister Mary Ignatius's development over the course of the film.
This is pretty funny
The Morrissey score is brilliant!
Wait, what?

My fave line from the article, so far...
And that brings me to my main reason Equals might not be as bad as you think it will be: Nothing could possibly suck that much.
Wait, maybe this one:
My original title for this article was “Is A Romantic 1984 Remake With Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult Better Or Worse Than Rats Eating Your Face?”
I didn't realize Oscar noms were announced yesterday: [link]
Some interesting omissions, as mentioned. The Robert Redfort snub in particular was a shock. I've only seen three of the Best Picture noms (12 Years a Slave, Her, and Gravity). I may try to see a couple more this weekend.
Hey, did we know that they recast Sheriff Lamb for the Veronica Mars movie? Is it because Michael Muhney is an asshole, I wonder?
Sheriff Lamb
gets killed off in the series. Mars, Bars in season 3.
