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."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Sorry, Hec, for thinking of you during Daniel Stern's "anal" record flipout. You are much kinder.

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.

Yeah, but I'm not married to you. I told her to quit reading all that damn Jane Austen crap and Charles Dickens and catch up on her video watching so she'd get my allusions.

You are Charm City's #1 ass kisser booster.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I can't remember if I've seen Diner or not. Have definitely seen BB and RM.

I'm pretty sure the only Norton I've read has been co-written, but I can't remember with who.

And he said it while eating a plate of shrimp and contemplating John Wayne answering the door in a dress.

Hey, Hecubus...I resemble that remark, I suppose. Although the same sense of inadequacy coupled with bullshit pride that brought me there, compells me to put up a bit of an argument. You had it right the first time, maybe.
