On my phone, I just type ii (which comes out Ii) and then delete the first one. But it's way less annoying than fishing out the HTML. I just wish I had copy and paste, or spoiler highlighting, dammit.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

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.

Hunh. the gypsy is also FAQWife's former boss's aunt. Is your friend's name Liza by any chance, Strega?
Oh, wacky! No, it's Tom, but I'm guessing Liza is his sister. I'll ask and see if I can weird him out.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Quick-edits on the iPhone are HUGELY annoying because of the auto-corrects.
Ahh, thanks for the explanation.

No, it's Tom
Does he work for the Smithsonian?

Yes -- and I just called to ask, and his sister's name is indeed Liza. Small internet!

Indeed! We went to see the film with Liza when it opened and thought it was great fun!

. Sara didn't seem too scared, but she generally trusts that everything is going to work out okay, so.
This was my nephews. Well, Dominic. Tyler was mining the bottom of the popcorn bucket. I have an insane attachment to childhood toys (I have my dad's beloved teddy bear from when he was 1! and am still not over losing PinkHippo on the plane back from Prague when I was 20) and so the whole damned movie was a cryfest. At one point, I looked over at my SIL and she mouthed "I'm sorry, do you have more napkins?" through her tears.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
didn't get to you?
I'm with Sara and Dominic; I figured they wouldn't be burnt up.
Though that scene made an interesting narrative/dramatic decision to let the inevitability of their doom go on long enough so that even if I wasn't worried about them, I could feel their despair and then connection in the face of that.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I didn't see any of the Toy Storyses and never can, because my toys are all alive and somewhat put out at having been sitting in my closet all this time.
I am trying to have a discussion on Facebook about the racebending issues on the Last Airbender, but keep getting swept off into other narratives about it, and am now unsettlingly angry. Again.
