Intransitive verbs, is that the rub?

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'm watching season one of Longmire. Robert Taylor has a bit of a Harrison Ford thing going on.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why is it correct for me to refer to myself in the third person? What's so special about "to be"?
James McAvoy. Just really.
Exactly.
FASSBENDER.
Without a doubt.
If y'all need to get me to stop cockblocking, get me the Chris Evans and you're all set.
Wait, why do I think I have a copy of Snowpiercer around here somewhere? My evening might just have changed from travelling down memory lane (currently Madonna's playground) on my rarely used iPod.

Because books.
Isn't that one of those things you figure out by putting it in a different order, sort of like Ginger said?
That is she = She is [the one swinging or whatever], not Her is...
Oops. Typo.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Intransitive verbs, is that the rub?
Passive voice.

Ahhh. No wonder I don't get it then.
Robert Taylor has a bit of a Harrison Ford thing going on.
Indeed.

Thrive to spite them
I didn't go to the comic book shop today but maybe tomorrow or Monday after work I'll take a run up there.
I met with the therapist lady. It was semi productive. She told me about a program I didn't know about, but it's an intensive outpatient thing where I'd have to take short term disabilty from work to do it. Not sure that's do-able. Oh and 3 page list of shrinks to call to see if any of them are taking patients.
And then Will and I got some flowers at Lowe's for the front of the house and I saw a hummingbird today fly away so I'm going to get a feeder.

But I didn't mean to ask if she was swinging. I just wanted to know if it was Kate.
"Is that Kate?" "That's she."
That's correct? Because "she is Kate"?
When is "That's her" the correct answer to any question?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I can't look at Fassbender, or see stuff he's in--for the same reasons as William Hurt. Their personal behavior (partner abuse) spoils any performance for me. McAvoy, though, and McKellan and Stewart and Huge Ackman? Ys, plz.
That's her is only correct when her has an object--that's her comb, for example.
erin, can you whitefont the link? I am a speshul non-fb snowflake.
Woot, -t! Sorry about the knee, though. Fast heal-ma.
Askye, it sounds like your day was better. That's good.
I hope overcoming the avoidiness is good, Brenda, and you enjoy the party.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I didn't know that Fassbender has a history. Bummer. I haven't seen Shame yet (is that the name of the movie?) but even so--he has a thing.
