Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

Always Anti-fascist!

Maybe he has got a tax problem--they don't like to wait, probably even for SLJ.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

First two-minutes of the Veronica Mars movie are online: [link]

No spoilers, pretty much just a re-cap of the premise of the show.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That might be worth it, just for Sondheim's reaction.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I hate Natalie Wood's performance (not her in general, but she makes my skin crawl with embarrassment in this role) with such a burning passion that I'd be happy to see a remake. As long as (a) the people who are supposed to be dead at the end are still dead, and (b) Maria is played by just about anyone who is not Natalie Wood, I'll be content.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Quick, someone cast Naya Rivera as Anita!

Oooh, Vonnie, that's good. I was going to ask if she wasn't a bit young, but looks like she's 27, which should be fine.

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

Natalie Wood? How about smarmy milquetoast Richard Beymer? Ew, ew, EW.

Right? Not only is she at the right age for the character, she's got the Puerto Rican heritage, can do both heartbreaking and fiery, can act, sing and dance like a dream -- basically she's perfect.

Haven't got a clue who they'd cast as Maria though.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I think what I am about to type is sacrilege, but I really don't like "West Side Story." and I think it may have to do with JZ's comment. I haven't overly analyzed the issue and only saw the movie once, but man I did not like Natalie Wood in that role and I generally have liked her in other things.

That movie leaves me really cold and I feel like a freak because usually people love that movie.
