They do get checked out a lot.  "At least they're reading": the modern librarian's credo.

That scene where she begs God to just let her finish her paper?  Best depiction of writer's block ever.

I got that impression too.   I was kind of disappointed as I thought they would make a nice couple.  So why did she turn him down, do you suppose?

"The pink ones keep you from screaming."

Our class did that as well.  Hey, did you have Mr. Baraman for fifth grade too?

Agreed.  The scenes in Strange Days, Boys Don't Cry and Monster (and to a certain extent Titus, though it happens off-screen) are the ones that really got to me.

The audiobook of Lolita is really superb.  One of the best I've ever heard. His reading brings out aspects of the book I've never considered before.  I can't imagine anyone else playing Humbert now.  I just wish he was in a better production.

He was good in Carnage.

LOVE "A Rush of Blood to the Head'.  In addition to the BIG and SWEEPING aspect, Martin pronounces "honey" in such a weird/awesome way.  Like he thinks it's spelled "choney" and he's using a Yiddish pronunciation.  I love it.  I could listen to it on a loop for hours.

I do the same thing sometimes.  It really has a calming effect.

I would think he's probably delivered more babies than the specialist, honestly.

Anyone else wish Shirley MacLaine was around to yell "GIVE MY GRANDDAUGHTER THE C-SECTION?"

Cora confused me a little in that scene.  It was heartbreaking, for sure, but she seemed a little too….accepting of it, I guess?  It's possible the doctors doped her up for the shock, but still it seemed like an odd acting choice by McGovern.  Maybe it's just me.  I was glad to see her lash out at Lord Grantham later.…

Ah-HA!  I thought that was traveling!  It really seems like was something Ben would be a real stickler about.

I know even less than Tom, but wasn't he traveling right before he said that?

I pictured Gwyneth.  She has that "Amazing Amy" thing about her.

The whole "steak" run  is the only time French language Homer is funnier than Castellaneta's Homer.   The second time he says "steak" he sounds vaguely threatening.  It's great.

In library lingo they're called Urban Fiction.

I wonder what happened to the script Prince LIKED.  And where the hell did it come from?  Maybe he wrote it himself and he forgot?
