Really? I like that. Not enough to like B/X but...although there were times where they could be a them. Or you know in other words MunchNKai forevah. Different strokes... (But I do not believe that friendship is a thinly veiled anything, ftr.)
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I am squicked by the trope of Loyal Friend Finally Gets Girl After Years of Yearning. It fills me with acute nausea, as it appears to imply that friendship is merely a thinly disguised quest for poontang.
Yes! Exactly why I hated Angel/Cordelia.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Heh. I just ordered Some Kind of Wonderful on DVD from Amazon. AND the soundtrack, too. I am terminally uncool. I blame Pamie.
In my defense... uhh, that cover of "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You" by Lick the Tins is really fucking great!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Hee hee. I too thought of Pamie in the midst of the Some Kind of Wonderful bashing. I've never seen it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

It is, isn't it? But it's even better at the end of The Snapper.

I loved that movie! Well, both of them, to be completely honest, but the Snapper is fresher.

Ahhh P-C, you've got a John Hughes-sized gap on your movie knowledge, which is not necessarily a bad thing, unless you haven't seen Ferris Bueller's Day Off. In which case, I command that you get thee to the nearest video store, STAT!
I like SKoW because of the ginormous crush I had on Watts, despite the fact that I thought Keith was a weener.
It is, isn't it? But it's even better at the end of The Snapper.
Oh, yeah. I'd forgotten the song was featured in that flick. I liked The Snapper a lot, although it's usually shadowed by my unreasonable love for The Commitments. That reminds me, I haven't seen the last two Roddy Doyle flicks. Should remedy that.
t looks at the thread title Uhh, Buffy/Xander wouldn't have worked for me. I don't have a violent aversion to the idea or anything, but I really liked that their friendship has gone past romantic infatuation a long time ago.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Isn't the message of SKoW that you don't have to be that girl to get the good guy, and that guys should look further than fashion and rep?
Which totally isn't what I'd take from B/X -- I'd take exactly what PMM hates.

Would you hate it, while taking it, ita?

I technically have, but I was really tired and barely remember a thing. As I admitted in Movies, I'm also missing Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, and The Breakfast Club.

The Joss part or the poontang part?
