that's funny. mac just had me add season 3 to our Netflix watch instantly and started watching it immediately.
I hope the movie has light moments like the show, otherwise mac will be very disappointed.
Joyce: And what did you do tonight? Dawn: Irritated Giles. I'm beginning to get why Buffy likes it so much.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm agreed with Gris and Jilli on LTROI, which I finally saw. The little boy will not be 12 forever, and now he'll be her new caretaker, and probably meet a similar end someday.
But I loved it. I'm glad she was a real, non-sparkly, not particularly sympathetic, vampire. That the characterization of the boy was right on; I completely understood why he identified/sympathized with her. And the way they filmed her crawling up walls and dropping out of trees onto people, all understated and simple, was effing scary.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Alexander Skarsgard joins Battleship. I'm still at the point where I'm surprised there are people in it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Hmm. I have a sinking feeling I am going to need to see it. (Pun intended)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Toy Story 3 was pretty awesome. I don't think it's better than the second one, but it's almost as good as the first one.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Saw Cyrus last night. It's not a big-laughs type of comedy, more of a tiny slice of fucked-up-in-a-funny-way life. Reminded me of a little scruffy 70s kind of film, in a good way. I really liked the script and acting, although the camera work is enough to drive you NUTS.

What's the crying factor like? I ask this as someone reduced to sobbing EVERY TIME by "Jessie's Song".

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
My BFF and her 7 year old son were bawling, her husband and 9 year old daughter, not so much.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

This translates to me as "Worst of the three, but worth seeing anyway."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Plotwise, Toy Story 3 is a bit of a tortured mess, but it's easily forgiveable because it so clearly stems from the creators love of the characters and this universe. You can see the writers thinking "Oh, we HAVE to have this scene where the stuff happens with the things!!!!" and then bending the plot so that awesome scene can happen. And that sort of thing happens over and over and over again, and while each individual scene really IS that aweome and completely worth it, the end result is a plot that doesn't, in the end, make a whole lot of sense. But you probably won't realize that until you get out of the theatre and are on your way home. And I still want to see it again.
And then there's the matter of the last scene, which from a critical standpoint is ridiculously overwritten and in dire need of a visit from the editing fairies, but from an audience perspective had me drowning in tears and mumbling "GODDAMNIT PIXAR HOW DO YOU KEEP DOING THIS?" under my breath for the full ten minutes.
[eta: I do have to give them props for the mother of all callbacks. THAT was not tortured at all, it was simply excellent.]
