"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

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.

not your mom's socks.

So sorry for your loss, FredPete and Hubs. Much comfort your way.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

So sorry, Fred Pete. You guys gave him such a happy and loving home and you can be proud of that.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Fred Pete, my condolences to you and Hubs.

Shir, congratulations on the successful launch of Hollaback Israel! I know you've put a lot of hard work and effort into it, and I'm so glad it's come to fruition.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Shir, congratulations on your site launch! May it be a point of strength for those who need it.

Oh Ryan, you little star! Lethal cuteness and walking? Deadly combination. Admirable work there on your and his mom's part, bt!

Fred Pete, you and Hubs provided noms and love and shelter and so much more. Max knew what he was doing when he picked you. So much peace and comfort wished to those he leaves behind.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Thanks for the thoughts, all. We're most worried about Marie. She's never been without Max before, and she was in the room when he was put to sleep. We thought it'd be less difficult for her than spending forever wondering when he'd come home.

She seems to be handling her grief fairly well, but it's hard to tell with a cat.
