This had a fair amount of tense/hot bathhouse scenes. Also, lots of butt. Full frontal too, because bathhouse. Was this not mentioned in the review? This is what is important, people!!!

It's so good! Thinking back on it, what stands out for me is definitely the humor, but also I remember finding it surprisingly sad… or like emotionally acute? Pre-amnesia Myfanwy, going about her business knowing that her mind is someday soon gonna get wiped, was depressing as heck.

I saw them (Scully, Mulder) while on a lunch break yesterday in downtown Vancouver! …That's all I have to add! It was exciting! I emailed my mom about it.

Oh wow. Thanks for these video clips — I'd totally forgotten what early Glee was like. They don't do the numanumanumanuma thing anymore, do they?

Any Suzumiya Haruhi fans out there? That's a show that did slow.

Who's gonna win this year?

I finished Warp by Lev Grossman and enjoyed it more than I expected to. Grossman is great at inserting these sensory details that for whatever reason stick with me (e.g. running a finger along the seam of a leather car seat, pushing salt with a steak knife into the cracks of a restaurant table, etc etc). It's a slim…

Oh man, I just got around to watching the last episodes of The Comeback.

So is there only four characters in this one? Some of my favourite moments from P3 and P4 was when all, what, like, 7? 8? characters got together in one place, and everybody's just hanging out and bouncing off each other. Four characters is a pretty small cast, and puts a lot of pressure on each of them being someone…

This, The Black Cauldron, and the The Princess and the Goblin are all like the SAME DANG MOVIE. In my head, at least, I got them all mixed up.

This looks great. Anyone here following Japanese cinema, and have other recommendations from the past few years? I was pretty into it around 2010? 2009? when stuff like Linda Linda Linda, Funky Forest, and Memories of Matsuko were coming out. (OK apparently those were all released back in 2005/06… Younger me was not…

Hmm I have a few ideas. (The Magicians and Case Histories are like my favourite books ever, so we maybe have similar tastes?)

I heard Atkinson's is like a sort-of-but-not-really sequel to Life After Life, following, is it, Teddy? The brother? (Haven't actually read LAL myself yet… but now have another reason to!) There was a different book she talked about working on, though, that I was looking forward to, like a tribute to Agatha Christie,…

Right?! I wish more people were talking about it.

What I liked about Boys is honestly how hot of a movie it is. It brought the sexy in a way that for me The Way He Looks didn't.

I went to see this with my boyfriend when the queer film fest was going on, and we both really liked it. The movie nailed these little coming of age details, like communal shower awkwardness, and how before your first kiss you just make out with walls. It was just a lot of fun! Lots of laughter in the theater…

So can we pretend this show is in the same universe as Glee, and the hot background dancer with the lips from that show's first season (who had zero lines and then just disappeared from glee club) grew up to become this Bros guy AND HE WAS GAY ALL ALONG??? Because, I mean, same actor…

Oh, whaaat. I love the parts in After Dark where they're just at a Denny's, talking and reading books and stuff. It's actually probably my favourite of his. Plus Jay Rubin is da bomb.

My boyfriend loves the book, but honestly I opened it up, and I just couldn't get past the font… Which might be the stupidest reason not to read something awesome. But how I remember it is like Papyrus levels of bad.

Oh I really loved Codex! That first scene with the earrings, and the drop of blood, and we realize how messed up the Duchess is? Yeah… I was really into her character. The whole story she wrote, too (from Edward's POV was it?) was also, like, wow. Very creepy.
