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

Also wondering if Harry Osborne's assistant

Haven't seen the movie, but considering Sony's ambitions for the franchise, probably.

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.

Yeah, Harry comes across as totally greasy and sleazy to me based on the previews.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Yeah, Harry comes across as totally greasy and sleazy to me based on the previews.

Honestly, he was better in the movie than I expected from the previews. So I guess that's a plus.

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

I wonder if anyone was spoiled that it was going to happen this movie by pictures of the outfit being worn.

Yes. I read about this very thing. People totally caught it.

I was going to see the movie tonight but then something came up, so maybe I'll see it next weekend. Or wait for Netflix.

I wonder if anyone was spoiled that it was going to happen this movie by pictures of the outfit being worn.

Yes, I don't even watch the Spiderman films, and I saw speculation on that for what feels like at least a year.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

We saw it today, and OMG I loved it! So so pretty. However the nurse at my appointment was a little concerned that my idea of relaxing and taking it easy was to go see a vampire movie.

This made me laugh and laugh.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I wanna see this--it sounds really interesting: ‘The Search for General Tso’, A Documentary About Americanized Chinese Food (link has a preview)

Laughing Squid sez:

Written and directed by Brooklyn-based filmmaker Ian Cheney, The Search for General Tso is a new documentary exploring the phenomenon of Chinese food in the US — particularly General Tso’s Chicken, often considered the most popular Chinese dish in the States.

Using this Americanized dish and its mysterious mastermind as a lens onto a larger story of immigration, adaptation, and innovation, the film follows a lighthearted journey, grounded in cultural and culinary history, through restaurants, Chinatowns, and the American imagination.

The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in April 2014 and is currently making the festival circuit rounds.

I do know that General Tso's chicken was not created by General Tso.

Compassionately intolerant

I'm pretty sure chow mein was invented in San Francisco.

Now I'm interested in seeing this movie too!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not only is Johnny Storm black (Michael Initial Jordan), but Papa Storm is too (Reg E Cathey). I wonder if Sue is the adopted one, or if it's a blended family? Either way, I like that Johnny's not.

And to take someone else's line--I will sip on the tears of racist and traditionalist fanboys. I will let them ferment in oak barrels and get drunk off them.
