My son has a Toothless. My wife really wants an Appa, but the only ones I could find when she mentioned it were the movie abomination version.
Zoe: Uh huh. River, honey? He's putting the hair away now. River: It'll still be there... waiting.

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I have no need for a Toothless, my black cat is basically the same if you substitute leaping freakouts for wings and destroying stuff by knocking it over rather than shooting lightning bolts at it. (Though her most impressive feat was destroying a floor lamp, so there may have been an electrical explosion involved...)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I also have a Toothless like cat. She had not destroyed things as successfully as yours, Matt.
I'd still love a stuffed Toothless.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
If any of you find knit patterns for either/any of those, I can make those things happen.

We're watching The Internship, and of all the things so far that have irritated me about this horrible movie, right now, I'm most irritated that they're not playing Quidditch right.

People should go see Arrival because I need to talk about it!
I walked out of it kind of rolling my eyes, but about half an hour later I was sure it was amazing. So I need to (a) see it again and (b) talk about it with my favorite talky meat.
It's a slow burn all the way through the end - very similar in pacing to the beginning of Interstellar or 2001 or Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
And I want to talk about the way it treats gender and its place in science fiction history and how it asks big philosophical questions and then answers them in very specific ways that don't undermine the validity of the questions!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, man, now I want to go see it right now so I can discuss with you asap!

Have you read the book? I mean story, I guess? It broke me so hard I still sob thinking about it.
I have a cat who is Toothless and several stuffed Toothless...es...

I haven't, but now I want to.

Good then that the movie stands on its own as a slow burn.
