I know David Thewlis from strange tingling feelings in my nether regions.

This scourge can only be fought with a group singalong of "Everyone Has AIDS".

You know when you've been crying and then you laugh, and the laugh is all muffled because your mouth is full of cry spit?

I'd go Raising Arizona but Vampire's Kiss a close second.

I was in high school — probably 16. My parents separated right before I started high school and my mom had dated a real douchebag for a while afterward, but eventually started going with a pretty cool guy.

Dammit, Jackie Hoffman is in Six by Sondheim? Okay, HBO, it took till now but you win, I wish I still subscribed.

"Even"? She's a lesbian, ain't she?

If you go the Loesser route I vote Guys and Dolls. The movie was such absolute shit. I was casting it in my head last night, so far I have Megan Hilty as Adelaide, Wayne Brady as Nathan, and — here's your crossover appeal — Michael Buble as Sky.
