I think that it's super violent in Geoffrey's mind.  When the MacBeth kid kills Duncan they use red fabric to represent blood and then cut to Geoffrey's face for the gruesome sounds.  When the murderer's have "bloody" knives, the sound is even worse and there's a bunch of quickcuts to Geoffrey.  Ellen keeps asking him…

No way does JGL have long enough legs to play Spike.  But I would like to hear your other live action casting thoughts.

You weren't also distracted by Branagh throwing a rapier into a guy?  I was distracted by that.  A helpless fit of giggles tends to ruin the end of  Hamlet.

I think (after one semester of linguistics, lo these many years ago) that you're referring to a glottal stop.  Represented by an apostrophe. It starts the word "and". It's like a breathy expulsion before the vowel.

As opposed to when?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Lombard is NOT a manic pixie dream girl.  She's a "dizzy dame."  She exists for herself or for comedy.  MPDGs exist for men.  Difference.

Yeah, it seemed less like trolling and more like an uncontrolled experiment in how information moves through social channels. Or an experiment to find the line between believable and insane — even for conspiracy theorists. As a "hobby."

Does anybody know if / when they are re-airing this one?  My DVR recorded an hour of large men slamming into each other and then dancing in confetti.  Not sure what that's about.

Me too.  As an adult, I wish I had liked this show.  But I was SO SCARED of the puppets.  Their mouths didn't move and their voices just seemed to come from somewhere else.

The original Irene Adler was an actress.  She dated a non-British royal, but he left her for a more advantageous match.  She had a photograph of the two of them and the royal jerk wanted it back.  She sees through Holmes attempt at deception then tricks Holmes and gets away.

One thing I keep seeing in these discussions of Amanda Palmer is that she was "ripped off" for the CD books and cards.  But nobody writing the articles seems to know what these cd books and cards actually are.  So here's a brief description of what we got:

Is that a Mockingbird by Kathryn Erskine reference?  (Or do I live in an exceptionally tiny bubble of YA and children' fiction?)

The greatest book to film adaptation is Ordinary People.  And yet, I never see it discussed when people talk about these things.  I suspect it's because no one has read the book.  Which is remarkably bad / uninteresting / stilted.  The movie is really a distillation of the emotional core of the book. 

Can't speak to Deathless (on my to-read list!) but In The Night Garden / Cities of Coin and Spice are two of my FAVORITE BOOKS EVER!!!!

I don't know — I'm from the Southwestern United States and so there's a ton of Spanish influences. I know they're Renaissance era, not modern.  They seriously come off as the bad guys ALL THE TIME, so you might not want to tell your Spanish friends that.  (By all the time, I mean both the Anglos and the Natives hate…

I used to agree with you.  Then I saw that people who watch Teen Mom are more likely to be pro-choice.  http://jezebel.com/5812681/…
