You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Unless they're shipping Jimmy Stewart's character and Clarence the Angel.

Which now sounds like a really weird episode of Supernatural.

Oh, right. I could picture the face, but it was blurry.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Please let them make it. Please let them not fuck it up.

I loved the linked movie universes. They don't have to reinvent the wheel with each group of characters--unless you're dealing with mutants.

BTW, finally saw 12 Years a Slave. Magnificent movie. Hope it wins loads more awards. Never want to see it again. The two worst scenes are seared in my brain anyway, so unless there's an onset of senility, I won't be forgetting the movie anytime soon.

I highly recommend it. And it is more than a spinach movie because the acting is magnificent. But ohohoh the buttons it may push - some you might not have known you had.

I saw "The LEGO Movie" today. And now I'll be singing THAT SONG for days.

But it was hella fun. I suspect I missed a lot of jokes because there was so much going on screen at all times.

My 92 year old Mother is wondering if she'd like the Lego movie. The thing is she is totally not into comics. So how many of the adult jokes can you get if you don't, for example, know that Batman's parents are dead and that he lives in a gloomy mansion and so on. I mean Mom is pretty up there on music. But the whole SciFi/Fantasy/Comic book part of popular culture just never intersected with her She does like Orphan Black, but that is pretty self-sufficient in terms of the SciFi aspect. YOu don't need to have seen a ton of other shows or movies to get it.
