I really liked Brand in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. In fact, that whole movie was way more enjoyable than I expected.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I want to dislike him too, but I've seen him on some British panel shows, and he can be really funny.
He has done some assholish things, I totally get that. On the other hand, some really funny interviews. And I just discovered he's taking krav from a friend of mine, so that'll amuse me for forever.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
He can be funny and an asshole. I hear the two are not mutually incompatible.

But the funny is charming! I want charming and asshole to be mutually incompatible. It's simpler that way. And usually I'm pretty good about writing off the assholes.

I want charming and asshole to be mutually incompatible.
There's a fine, fine line between charming and asshole.

One person's "charming" is another person's "asshole."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I still haven't read Deathly Hallows. I'm a-skeered. Also good at skimming.
That's sad news about Maggie Smith. ::queues up Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and Ladies in Lavender::

Our wings are not tired.
I don't know the sad news about Maggie Smith, because, having not seen or read any Harry Potter, but wanting to some day, I had to skim all of the previous posts.
But I got to see her on stage a couple of years ago in a West End production of The Lady From Dubuque. The play itself is pretty much crap, but she was awesome. Which, not a surprise.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
One person's "charming" is another person's "asshole."
So I was going to make a joke about Urban Dictionary, and then I saw definition number 5 for "charming."
Here's a tip: don't do what I just did.

But my line? I like it to be bright.
