then I realized Jim Carrey would be cast as Professor Fate, and I quit thinking about it.
Shudder.
Or Jennifer Aniston in the Natalie Wood role.
I'm now picturing John Barrowman as Leslie and giggling.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
My Dad & I just watched Flower Drum Song for the first time. I defined pedant when the lead was singing "100 Million Miracles" and she said the sun was 100 million miles away and I said, "well, 93 million". Then we both recoginized "I enjoy being a girl" but couldn't place where we'd heard it. When it got to the chorus I realized I'd seen it performed by a drag queen.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just watched Team America: World Police and was kind of disappointed. I thought the satire of American global policy and Hollywood actors was pretty good, but the action-movie parody stuff was much less successful. I expected much better, given the popularity and how brilliant the South Park movie was.

That movie was freaky - the protagonist puppet looked so much like Daniel Jackson that I couldn't think of it as the character it was actually supposed to be.

I didn't enjoy Team America at all. I thought the script fell flat and the puppeteering was awful.

I assumed the puppeteering was intentionally awful. I don't know about the script. There was enough that I enjoyed, like the running gags about destroying national monuments and multiplying 9/11, to put me in the generally positive side, but I was bewildered by how unfunny a lot of it was.

Two words... Puppet Sex.
That was the first movie I saw with my current boyfriend and I laughed like a loon!

OK, this I'd love to see. Possibly even with enduring Jim Carey as Prof. Fate.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So they're playing Richard III on TCM right now and I just watched Olivier do his death scene.

Yeah, Olivier didn't do subtle often.
