I just love Tilda Swinton. She's almost ethereal.

I fully approve. Because you know, an eye for an eye leaves the whole world with their grubby mitts off my confections.

"But what if I just took a fingerful of the fros—"

That WAS an excellent adaptation, you're right. I feel like the BBC does it right a lot more often, maybe because they take their time? Or maybe I'm just starstruck by the accents. ;)

I agree that I thought a few parts of it were cute, like the modernization. If you're into that, I thought the recent BBC-adaptation of Hamlet (with David Tennant) was great. Nothing inherently wrong with that approach, and can make for some interesting cinematography. I don't know: Maybe I was just distracted by John…

I heard a lovely online review recently from the Nostalgia Critic that reflects a lot of what you just said. Also, he's just hilarious in general. Look it up!

Really? That's your favorite adaptation? I mean, I generally love DiCaprio but I... really did not feel him in that movie.

Oh noes! They gave away the whole story!

Looking at old college photos of my mom, I'm always surprised to see just how skinny she was before she had kids. Honestly, the "mom-weight" never seemed to bother her. She was always active and practical, and she never even mentioned the word "diet" to me. The only reference she ever made to her figure came right…

This isn't harassment-related, but hopefully it'll make you smile.

I was in an apartment once where I thought it was just our old plumbing was making knocking and upset-stomach noises since it seemed to happen so often and usually around the same time of day and night (you know, like people have schedules to shower and such).

Well. That cat is clearly possessed.

Haha, sorry, guess I was still stuck on Bronte and Austen. Like all the silly womens, I find it hard to concentrate on more than one thing at a time. It's probably my wandering womb.

I know, right? They fully expect us to devour anything related to the Bronte sisters or Jane Austen (okay, for good reason) in our media, but it's unthinkable to push literary connections that haven't already been rom-commed to death? This is especially baffling when one considers the fact the number of…

Looking back on it, I'm rather proud of my 11th grade (male) English teacher for letting another girl and me give a book-report to the class on D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover, as well as the class's ability to have an adult conversation about Lawrence's non-pejorative use of the word "cunt."

Oh that picture... You just... You won the internetz.

Hey, it's all right. Judging from the picture, she doesn't give a flying fuck!

Well. That escalated quickly.

I am always SO turned off by the types of covers and titles you've mentioned. I don't think I'm alone. And then they wonder why they don't sell! I didn't realize the authors had so little say in the matter. For what it's worth, I think Suicide Wood sounds MUCH more intriguing than Between Here and April (which, sorry,…

I love Shkler!
