    I liked her in Shakespeare in Love (regardless of whether or not she deserved the Oscar), and in Sliding Doors, and Emma. In fact, I generally like her as an actress. She's only irritating to me as a human being.

    I can't decide what's more embarrassing, how much I loved Evanescence in middle school, or that they were better than most of the other stuff I listened to.

    They're already the voice inside my 'ead.

    All aboard the murder traiiin

    I remember loving it. I was around 7 at the time, so it's not like we should just go ahead and take my word for it, but still. No one knew she was so crazy yet. She was just an affable, chubby lesbian.

    Dude, he's not The First

    My proudest moment when watching The Wire: Realizing I no longer needed subtitles to understand Snoop.

    I'll give you Game of Thrones Rushdie, but The Wire is "just a police series"? He mean "greatest television show of all time", but he ain't know it.

    The baseball commissioner thing was supposed to be a Sports Night in-joke, right? Regardless, I definitely giggled.

    No mentions of Gaby Hoffman, star of 90% of my childhood/pre-pubescent experience? (All I Wanna Do, Now and Then, probably more I can't think of right now)

    I would literally pay to have a Faith/Wesley spin-off exist somewhere.

    Character/plot-wise, she exists to illustrate a theme this show has been steadily building since Angel's season 2 epiphany. If the first season was about establishing the powers-that-be, and the shanshu prophecy, and all that big picture jazz, season 2 was about deconstructing the idea that Angel's focus should be on

    Glad my terrible study habits are serviceable to someone, somehow.

    I too really like the Jasmine arc. I have qualms with it (probably an episode too long; kind of lacks my general favorite thing about season 4, Wesley off the deep end), but it nicely combined hilarious and disturbing in a totally fitting way. It was probably the first time I thought Connor was a worthwhile character.

    I actually remember seeing a pretty great Buffy fanvid (sometimes I need to get creative about procrastination, okay?) that pretty nicely laid out the various forms of sexism the show subverted via 'big bads'. It may have been to "Bachelorette".

    Well, while I loved the Illyria plot, I loved Amy Acker in the role, and I completely agree that even if neither of those things were true, she would have been worth it just for the scene in question, I don't necessarily love Illyria herself. Occasionally I did, but sometimes she could grate. I mostly felt like she

    I just Ctrl+F-ed "roman holiday" to see if anyone mentioned it. Possibly my favorite ending to a rom-com ever. Elevates the whole film. I maybe kinda cried (rare).

    That's very mature of you. If someone was willing to admit to me he (or, I suppose, she. *shudder*) found that scene arousing, I'd probably puke on his face and alert the cops he was at risk for sexual deviancy.

    My mother described this film as two hours of her life she will never get back. I have therefore never seen it. That is all.

    I remember both being pretty upsetting, but genuinely wanting to just give up now and die already by the end of Manon des Sources. God. French people.
