I love Diner...(duh, what kind of fake hometown girl would I be, otherwise? Levinson is Dialogue's Bitch too.) Sorry, Hec, for thinking of you during Daniel Stern's "anal" record flipout. You are much kinder.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

In honor, I'd be curious to see every Andre Norton fan here note the first book of hers that made a big impression on you.
For me it would have to be Forerunner Foray, though I came to associate her more with the Witch World books.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dana! I don't even like Buckaroo Banzai anymore, but I can't believe you haven't seen it. Seems wrong.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
she's never seen Buckaroo Banzai or Repo Man or Diner
Haven't read any Norton, but I have seen all of those.

And well, not anal. My records aren't even in alphabetical order.

What is even happening?
This is almost as bad as JZ's confession last night that she's never seen Buckaroo Banzai or Repo Man or Diner.Me too, and I've also never read any Norton.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Repo Man and BB are culty films and may be an acquired taste (I adore them both) but Diner is a great film for anybody. I am dead certain that most Buffy fans would really enjoy it. Lots of the funny snark, but all firmly rooted in character. A strong sense of place and time. Cute young actors. Scenes which veer between comedy and sadness within a heartbeat. Rent It Now.
