Book ,'Objects In Space'
[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.
Oh, Fred. Max had a very good life with y'all. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Shir, I snorfled at your boobs quip. And keep on doing what you're doing. Sharing info and supporting each other is an important piece of stopping harassment.
Doing evals today. No one has refused to sign theirs, so that's a good sign. I'm getting some he said she said, but it's not too bad.
ZOMG, one of the Fresh Markers just sent me a forward about friends being like butt cheeks, complete with large naked lady butt. Remove head from sphincter, please.

So sorry about Max, Fred.
I had some issues with the movie (like the dislocated shoulder in a sling in one scene and full mobility in the next, and don't get me started on Mary Louise Parker)
Heh. The Girl and I, rabid feminist pair that we are, were irritated that Helen Mirren's character was *awesome* right up until the moment that she needs, in the final event, to be rescued by her man. But she was amazing. As were all of the old-school action heroes.
I'm with you Seska, but the number of times she kicked ass and took names almost made up for it. I was thinking about that, and I wonder if I would have thought of it in that way if John Malkovich had been the one to save her. Was the issue that she was saved by her long lost love (who then carried her out) or that she was saved by a man? Given that almost all of the other characters were men, the odds were good.
I actually had another issue with a loose end in the film Who shot Joe? I understand that he was disguised as Frank, but did one of the random FBI swat team shoot him? (in an unprecedented display of interagency communication) or was it some random assassin? I wished that had been made clear.
So sorry for your loss, FredPete and Hubs. Much comfort your way.
So sorry, Fred Pete. You guys gave him such a happy and loving home and you can be proud of that.
Vortex, your point is a good one. But we reckoned the film also failed the Bechdel Test. Which, while certainly not the only important thing about representation of women in films, does irritate me when a movie otherwise has fantastic women characters. And I'll get off the feminist soapbox now, really I will.
Fred Pete, I'm so sorry.
