Yikes, he was in so many wonderful films even if you somehow never heard of Lawrence of Arabia: The Ruling Class, The Lion in Winter, The Last Emperor, My Favorite Year... My introduction to Peter O'Toole was through repeating viewings of Supergirl and High Spirits when I was a kid.

A lot of young people don't know who Steve McQueen was, but it is surprising that my mother typically had no more than one student (if that) at a time who had heard of him.

I haven't seen August: Osage County and honestly don't know much about the original play either, but it seems like that is a good example of a film which could have cast black actors in non-stereotypical roles.

If you think that's funny then let me tell you about the time a student misspelled the word "penis" several time in one of their papers...

Thank you, you've convinced me that I should try to catch it on the big screen.

Thanks!

I've been trying!

I gave away the pass because it didn't interest me enough to warrant leaving work early and the spectacularly shitty winter weather has meant that I've missed a few movies thanks to being snowed in on my days off. I have nothing against Captain Phillips, but I haven't heard any word of mouth positive or negative…

They also interchanged Laurence Olivier with Lawrence of Arabia on a regular basis.

Nebraska is the only Best Picture nominee that I want to but haven't had the chance to see yet. It doesn't hurt that I often get passes to advance screenings but lately I haven't been able to duck out of work early enough to use most of them. I had a free pass for Captain Phillips but gave it away because I have zero…

Piers Morgan sucks more than a collapsed star. Glad to see a bully like him go.

Spot on

Darn, that sucks

I am happy to answer any questions about my VCH or any of my other piercings. The healing process was very quick and easy. At first I was hyper aware that I had the piercing because obviously there was a foreign piece of metal between my labia, but it wasn't uncomfortable or painful. I wouldn't plan on running a…

The machines look pretty spiffy and I like the display of public support and the donation of fees (though I know nothing about Twenty10). However... I was curious who came up with the designs and found this article which says the machines were "created by Whybin\TBWA Group Melbourne, each unique GAYTM has been…

The mental image of parachuting hedgehogs is giving me the giggles.

Or they are really really good at Dance Dance Revolution.
