Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Thrive to spite them

Stephen Fry. Who is also the narrator for the movie.

The lack of explaining the towel bothered me. So did the way the scene with the bulldozers played out. They didn't go into the whole thing about the plans so inaccessible and the foreman not caring.

I would have cut the doolin musical number to at least have the explanation for the towels.

I have listened to the radio play but it's been ages. I realized I was kind of expecting parts of that during the book.

And I have a ting criticism about Fry's reading. At times when the dialogue switches person he doesn't quite change his voice quickly .

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I've never read the book, but I really liked the movie. I rewatched it this year, and I still thought it was great.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

So, sj, did you wonder about Ford's towel drama, or did it not stick out as a problem?

Didn't stick out to me.

Our wings are not tired.

As with so many things, read the book, didn't see the movie/series. See also Game of Thrones, Outlander, and many others. Probably because I am usually annoyed when I see a movie after I read the book, for the usual reasons. The only exception I can think of is Gone With the Wind, because really nothing could compare to the all out druggery of reading that book.

The Twilight series is my only example of the movie being better than the book (don't judge! I felt like I couldn't be a critic if I wasn't familiar with the source material - from the library and on TV, she got $0 from me). The books spend so much time in Bella's head, the movies can't help but be better for the reduction in whininess.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I was really hoping Divergent would be better than the book. It would've been so easy.

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.

Fucking grief. I don't want it any more than I want the ten inches of snow (which might end up as freezing rain, don't want that either) that is coming. Yesterday I was trying to be all wise and shit and present in the pain. Today I wwant to eat my feelings and not have them. fucking bodies that are mortal and then also survive others' mortality.

{{{WindSparrow}}} I'm sorry that it is so hard.

Hugs back, Laura. A cry and a nap helped.
