Tom Scola regarding The Departed in Movies:
That movie goes on forever. Just when I thought that Scorsese couldn't possibly have any more ass to pull endings out of, he went and proved me wrong.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

I love that picture of the Gabor sisters. I can't decide if Zsa Zsa is telling Sinatra to call her, or throwing some strange Swedish gang sign.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Tom Scola, in Bitches:
Thanks to Fox News, there are SO many people out there who sincerely believe that trolling is an acceptable form of discourse.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
It's just funny.

You are not to blame for the vikings. Your interesting facebook companion is like "BUT THE VIKINGS!" and other people are like, bzuh? And then he's like "JFK! VIKINGS!" and other people are, here, have some trufax. And he's all "CIVIL WAR! VIKINGS! WILL NOBODY THINK OF THE VIKINGS!!!"

A conversation about interracial marriages turns to geology in Bitches:
Shir: Actually, thinking about it for a second: I have Hungarian, Polish, English, Lebanese, Israeli and German blood in me - and that's just up to the grandfathers' generation. One more up and there are countries which don't even exist today.
Mixing rocks.
Jessica: Mixing rocks.
Anyone else just have a Willow moment?
(Mix rocks? Why would anyone want to - oh.)
Jars: No! No mixing rocks! Sedimentary rocks with sedimentary rocks. Volcanic rocks with volcanic rocks. Metamorphic with metamorphic!
Shir: Racist!
Ginger: Rockist!
Polter-Cow: Geologist!
Ginger: But sedimentary rocks are already mixed.
Aims: NO EXCEPTIONS!
amych: I am shocked and saddened by this display of Tectonic Supremacism in our midst.
Jars: See what can happen? It's a slippery slope! And do sedimentary rocks last? Do they? A few million years and they weather away!
Ginger: They don't stand by their principles! Under pressure, they become entirely different rocks.

P-C, I would include this, too, in with the Rockist! Racist! bits, as it is part of what made me snicker.
Polter-Cow: Geologist!

I wanted to include it, but I felt weird COMMing myself. I'll stick it in to break up Ginger's.

I kinda thought you might feel that way, that it might help to validate it for you.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Or to make her look craxy. That's always worthwhile.

Pulling one piece out of a very serious conversation but:
Shir: I think that we've established that people are totally wrong.
