Gotcha. It was in 2003, I think. Quite a while ago! When she and Mark first moved out from Massachusetts.
Then I definitely wasn't there! I moved here in 2006. And aha, I met Keckler on February 18, 2007. I have not seen her since, sadly.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
There's a line that Robin Williams had in Dead Again that has always stuck with me. When he notices Branaugh chewing on his pen, he grills him about being a smoker. When Branaugh says he's quit, Williams responds to the effect of "No you haven't. Look, you're either a smoker or you're not. Pick one and be that."
That always stuck with me, too. It actually helped me quit smoking for awhile (4 years) because in my brain I decided I was a smoker who didn't need to smoke. And actually, I find my one cigarette a day now (with a glass of wine) to be very enjoyable-- much more so than smoking a lot.

I just watched Dreams With Sharp Teeth. It's quite fun. It's more about Ellison as a person than his work, which is fine since the work speaks for itself. One of the extras is footage of the premiere screening, and afterward Ellison says something like "That's about as close as you'll come to what it's like to hang out with me for a couple of hours."
Oh, and the other extra is an extended recording of Ellison & Neil Gaiman chatting over pizza. During which Ellison makes fun of Gaiman's "costume." Though Gaiman spoils the punchline to a terrible joke Ellison's telling, so it balances out.

When I first saw The Untouchables and set mine eyes upon Andy Garcia, my pre-teen self went "WANT".
His aquiline nose, his deep dreamy eyes, his mysterious voice, and hair I want to run my hands through.
Excuse me...

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
It's more about Ellison as a person than his work
So I'll dislike him even more?
Strega - Jun 26, 2009 4:29:10 pm PDT #2672 of 30000
I would suppose so. While the movie itself isn't overtly critical, it's upfront about how much there is to dislike about him. Much as he is.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh, Charlie Martin Smith! In The Untouchables. And oh! Starman! My favorite of his though was Never Cry Wolf, though there's Farley Mowat to thank for the source material. Still--CMS!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
He really blew the delivery of the big speech to the judge at the end of the film, when he says (IIRC), "I have become what I have beheld, and I am content to have done so." That was a key statement for Elliot Ness, and he buried it in the midst of the rest of the monologue.
Costner really only had one good speech in him. Thank God he made it to Susan Sarandon!
