RG - I didn't know about that particular use of the term either. Before now I've only ever read about an old cat, or an especially mischievous cat. That and it was the witch's companion in Macbeth. I've hung on to it for years, though, using it as a handle on Xbox and online. Not even sure why.

Yeah, I was looking forward to having some semi-Buffy warm and fuzzies watching ladies tear shit up. With swords!

Oh, Gonzalez, I realize you got the reference. Not sure if you knew about the X-Men character, though.

Regular Gonzalez - Thanks for saying that. My cold, cold heart is warmed.

My experience with the "friends with benefits" dynamic is that it is more a case of "friends who hooked-up once and have allowed for the possibility of more hook-ups that either never take place or take place far enough apart as to not be considered any kind of 'arrangement'"

And of course, "A well" should be "Ah well". Apologies.

Holy shit! I just hit 200 and I wasn't even paying attention!

My brief and ultimately unimportant opinion…

Well color-me-corrected. I hadn't seen that. Can you ever forgive me, Joe Kickass?

THANK YOU. I have been saying for awhile now that that man is gayer than a gay french horn (and I mean that nicely). I can't be bothered to check because my life is full of important things but, has he ever been married? Connected, as they say, to a woman? If he is gay he really just should come out. I've believed him…

The reason bartenders/waiters get paid (waaaaaaaaay) less than minimum wage is so that you people can afford to go out to eat.

Super late to this party. Sorry, guys. I brought some Schnapps, though.

Ack! Too much work and I'm late to this article and thread. Yes, Nathan, we should have some kind of meet and greet. If the thought of hangin' with the AVC readers from Nashville frightens you at all, I hereby promise that I am not a serial killer and pose no threat to you. Though I cannot speak for everyone else.

Well, occasionally Hollywood, in all it's Wisdom and Glory will test our discerning abilities by putting a normally critically acclaimed, "artsy" type actor who is adored by the film snobs in some trifle of a movie with a doofus-persona-ed, critically ignored or hated mainstream "star".
