oh, I wish there was a "really like" button, because your answer is kinda perfect.

THEORY #1: Just some goofy personal predilection, inapplicable to others.

Me three.

Maybe not his life, but his penis might be in danger of dropping off. Which, according to a lot of men, is worse than death.

Wodehouse is one of those authors I could read over and over again when I'm in the right mood and could never get sick of. And it's perfect since he wrote so many books.

The Code of the Woosters. Wodehouse is my comfort reading, par excellence. I aspire to be as perfect and useful as Jeeves, though I identify far more with fumbling, useless, well-meaning Bertie.

If s/he (ugh, English needs a gender neutral personal pronoun) watched on DVD, it was probably the original pilot, "Serenity," not "The Train Job." Though it would be cool if s/he watched that on a train.

Caught up on the first 4 episodes of Justified season three after needing a break from season two… I liked S2, only it kind of exhausted my appetite for the show, if that makes sense. I'm really liking season 3 so far; there is sly sense of humor at work here, new to the show, and completely welcome.

I dragged a dude to Movern Callar. Er, only time I ever ended apologizing for a movie choice in my life.

Oh, I stayed with an American transplant and his native girlfriend, so for 2 weeks, I ate at lots of reasonably priced restaurants that were delicious. This one ramen place had the best stewed pork ever; I was in heaven. And the $40 sushi place was probably more reasonably priced than I spend on sushi in San Francisco.

I love this practically forgotten film from the 80s, Shoot the Moon, in which a family is ripped gently apart when the dad leaves for another woman. It's a heart-breakingly sad movie about divorce and families, and Albert Finney gives the performance of his — or anyone else's — lifetime.

One thing to consider:

I paid $200+ for a sushi dinner in Tokyo and it was worth it.

Where the Wild Things Are: I still say the trailer is a better adaptation of Sendak's book than the actually (kinda whiny, definitely too precious) movie.

Still don't care. Even 85 minutes is too much of my life to give over to prequel shit again. And it's not like I'm curing cancer over here..

I'll be that obnoxious jerk: why you no be friends with Danny Boyle anymore? I think their professional split has hurt both their careers (McGregor's much more than Boyle's, anyway, because the power differential between director and star is always going to favor the director).

Colin Firth is indeed Colin Firth, but that version is not a very good film version of the play. It follows the plot, but takes out a lot Wilde's actual  words — which is WTF? What is the point of making the movie then?

Don't know if you've noticed, but the 2012 North American box office is getting off to a ridiculously good start. I read that this $70m+ opening is better than many non-sequel Pixar movies. It seriously made more money this weekend than the likes of Wall-E and UP

See, I'm actually not too worried about Community because NBC has its back against the wall. The rest of their line-up is delivering equally terribly ratings (darling 30 Rock equalled or lowered ratings in the same timeslot), Smash is not a smash and The Office is juuuuuuust about finished, though I've no doubt NBC
