How was Legion? Is it worth a rental? My movie for the weekend was Secretary and I wasn't that impressed. Didn't like the people.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I remember liking Secretary. It was interesting and unexpectedly sweet.
Hmmm, I still haven't seen Fantastic Mr. Fox...
It's great!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'd like to ditch work, have a cupcake, and then nap.
Or ditch work, nap, and have a cupcake.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
How was Legion? Is it worth a rental?
Short answer: no. Longer answer:
I don't think it knew what it wanted to be. Silly action movie like Zombieland? Serious action movie? Apocolyptic religious movie? It had some terrific actors in it, but it seemed like they were in several different movies. And, the character development wasn't strong enough to make me really fall in love with any of them.
YMMV, of course.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'd like to ditch work, and nap with cupcakes nearby, so I can wake up, have a cupcake and resume napping.

“Not dead yet!”
Barb, I got my license, then got the car smog tested or whatever that is, then registered. If that's not right, no one put up a fuss
Yeah, I think that's what we're going to do. Go get licenses, then get the emissions test, then registered. The sweet little old lady on the phone said it didn't matter what order we did things which is a relief. It's a pain in the ass though, that we have to go to three different offices for each step of the procedure. The emissions test I understand, but I'm going to have to get my registration in Bothell, which is up the road, but head up to Lynnwood for the license. It's either that or brave Bellevue.

James Spader, yum. Maggie Gyllenhaal, double yum.
Plus, it was in theatres at a time before I was "out," so to speak, regarding my extracurricular activities, and it was nice to see something I was interested in being portrayed in a basically non-judge-y way in what passes for mainstream cinema.
And, Maggie Gyllenhaal.

How about ditch work, have a cupcake, nap, wake up and have another cupcake?

I endorse this plan.
Or! Have a cupcake, ditch work, have another cupcake, nap, wake up and have YET another cupcake!

That could work.
I might just need a servant, monkey or robot to follow me around with a batch of cupcakes, insuring I will always have available cupcakes to eat.
