Do y'all know a good site to introduce a movie-loving internet newb to?
Most movie blogs are kind of specialized (horror, Hong Kong action etc.)
So maybe something like AVClub? Their inventories and primers are good and interesting.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Yeah, I don't know him well enough to know if he has a movie genre *passion* or not, so that sounds like a good call, Hec.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I was frequently forbidden from bringing books to family gatherings. My mother (the extrovert) was under the impression that without a book i'd actually talk to all the relatives instead of sitting in the corner reading. Boy was she wrong, I just had to find less interesting things to read at the destination.

The status is NOT quo.
Erin, I just tried to like your post.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I am known in my family for my love of reading in the tub. When I was a kid, I'd refill at least once. Bubble bath + book = heaven.

I had to buy a few library books in school due to bathtub related incidents.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I read in the tub almost every evening. Heaven.

One of the saddest parts of not having a functional tub is not being able to read in it every night!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I dislike tubs, unless they have jets and are deep enough to submerge to the neck. *Those* tubs are great. We stayed at a B&B once that had a old clawfoot tub, a relic, that was deep and wide and probably weighed half a ton, because the cast iron held the heat like whoa. That was the only non-hot tub tub experience I've liked. I'd love to try Japanese baths. Otherwise, the tub experience of music and candles and book...nah. Dry and snuggled on the sofa or in bed, reading by candlelight is better. And non-pruny!
I was so the surly, unfriendly, what's-wrong-with-her kid in a corner at family get-togethers. I listened hard trying to learn what they all were talking about, so I could possibly mimic them--but it made no sense! None of them were talking about anything in particular, and the conversations were non-linear! Chaos and upheaval and I'll just be in the corner with a book.

This was so me.
