No Cather, but I like Cather.
My Antonia isn't my FAVORITE novel, but it might be top ten.
Definitely my favorite assigned in high school.
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Since I just googled the class, and it looks like a lot of schools use that title from civil war to present, but this class ended before WWI, So Twain, Crane, Dreiser, James. And no poetry. No Cather, but I like Cather.
I bet McTeague might have been the favorite for a lot of people in that class.
Definitely my favorite assigned in high school.
I'm still mad I had to discover Cather on my own much later.

Once upon a time, in a, um, concert hall, far far away ....

I had such a crappy day yesterday doing my taxes that I decided it was finally time to watch The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Well, that, and it's expiring from the Criterion Channel this month.
Technically more grotesque than gory, but the grotesquerie is profound and disturbing. It's more unsettling than vomitous if that makes sense.
This description was dead on, Hec. Glad I watched it though; it's nice to see where all those horror tropes came from. And it was perfect timing for my mood.

A company in Texas once got an award for their name - Tex's Chain Saw Manicure (landscaping, lawn care, etc.).

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I approve of this holiday. Maybe we can generalize it to "OMGWTFMusicals?! Day" and just change the specific observance by year?

Am I the last person to know that Spielberg is remaking West Side Story?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Nooooooooo! (I'll probably watch it)
