Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I just rewatched ET, and now I totally understand why the mother freaked right the fuck out.
I did, too, and I was APPALLED by the mom leaving Gertie home alone. She was five! Some of the stuff that escaped her notice was just boggling. But it's very much from a child's POV, which is part of its magic.
I am attempting and mostly failing to not eat All the Food. I'm at a work meeting all weekend in Atlanta, and they feed us three meals and two snacks a day. OMG. We were all excited at the first snack, it was healthy food! Apples with bee pollen yogurt (??) and carrot mango smoothies in shot glasses, and smoked salmon an avocado on a slice of bread! And then the afternoon snack was soft pretzels, popcorn, and full size candy bars. Ugh.
Allyson. Whoa. You say he's in Ninja Assassin?
Yes. Mostly kicking the shit out of things and bleeding.
Hmm. These things are relevant to my interests.
This is what I am saying.
Mmm, that healthy snack sounds great, meara.
I think Ninja Assassin is the movie Ben keeps saying he loves. Probably not for the same reason, though.
Oh, for changes: Wuthering Heights! On later rereads, everyone is completely fucked up!
Perhaps the biggest eye-opener was rereading the Chronicles of Narnia after taking a comparative religions class in high school and finally getting all the biblical references. It was the event that really taught me the value of returning to a text.
