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.
Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

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."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Me too, and I've also never read any Norton.
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.

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.

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.

Awww, I love your love of Baltimore. I'm waiting for your John Waters' phase.

I know. Around here, we just have Colangelo's ass. Everyone kisses that one. Perhaps I'm looking for a smarter ass. ;) I've seen "Cry-Baby" and "Hairspray" each a bunch of times. But I know those aren't the funkiest Waters' Oh, and "Serial Mom", which should win some kind of Sci-Fi prize for making Waterston look awful.

My first Norton was Catseye, and I thought I'd read everything she'd ever written until I ran across a listing of everything she'd ever written. I did get tired of her sentence construction, but she was my hero, my first SciFi/Fantasy author, and author of one of the first books I read that I had to hide from my parents.
