brenda I only watched a few minutes of the movie, had no idea how it was framed, and bowed out. Then I read about the remake. They missed the all the points of the movie, everything that made it what it is. Part of me wants to watch it for myself and the rest just wants to watch the actual movie and pretend this remake never happened.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!

Woo, four day weekend! We'll be at Balticon this weekend. (Hopefully we'll get to see hippocampus in more than passing.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh HELL no, brenda! Am more glad than ever that I didn't watch it. I will continue to pretend it never existed.

Because books.
What the everloving fuck?
Oh, it was so bad. All of it. But the ending was surreal! Whoever revised the script was so very wrong, on so many levels.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Nuh uh. Thanks for the warning. DD and The Big Easy dvds usually were our takealongs for H's and my weekend getaways. We never actually *watched* them, waving the case around and quoting from either or both films was usually enough to instigate shenanigans.
~ma to your brother, Suela.
and all patience, fortitude, and wisdom to you, Kat.
Woot! Scrappy. May all steps go well.
Ditto, Zen. Fast, uncomplicated and successful healing.

I did not watch it, but I was enjoying reading everyone's reaction on Twitter last night.

My personal Dirty Dancing story: I can't remember how the conversation started, but one time my father referred to it as that movie about the father/daughter relationship. Aw, dads.

one time my father referred to it as that movie about the father/daughter relationship.
Aw, that's so sweet! And he's not wrong.

Fingers crossed for your brother, Consuela.
I am on hour 35 of an Aleve-resistant migraine. The headache isn't actually too severe, but I've had it pretty much continuously since I woke up Wednesday morning. Very annoying.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
smonster, thanks for the link. The web doctor had me open my mouth and bring the iPad camera close up so she could see inside. I have no sores or spots in my mouth. She did deliberate about fungus vs. bacteria, and asked questions about the appearance of the rash over the months, like if it was scaley or anything. And she did caution me that if this Bactroban does not help, taking a culture would be a good idea.
Matt, that just sucks.
Does napping count as working?
Code it as staff enrichment/stress management exercise.
