The beauty and glamorous parts of Elizabeth Taylor's life, the storytelling abilities and wit of Mark Twain, the guitar wizardry of Jimmy Page, and the public service of Eleanor Roosevelt, all while getting more ass than a toilet seat.

This really is the best scenario. In the absence of being able to do a weekday matinee, I generally opt for the first screening of the day on Sunday.

Benham! I've stayed at the School House Inn. That drive over the mountain was a bit hair-raising.

You had me at Thelma Ritter. Thanks for this.

Shit I'm watching The Awakening right now.

I tried watching Firefly and couldn't get into it, despite thinking I would love it beforehand. I realized I couldn't stand Nathan Fillion.

The Beatles. They bore the hell out of me. I *should* like them but I just can't.

The first episode is worth it for the appearance by Jere Burns.

A self absorbed little douchebag who works at my local Barnes and Noble made me cry Friday night. Saturday I managed to make it to the Tom Brokaw book signing at the National Book Festival, so that makes up for it.

Same here and the NPG is one of my very favorite museums.

It is — I live a couple of miles from the National Portrait Gallery and there is a permanent exhibition of portraits there. I recommend popping in for a visit as it's really good. The National Gallery of Art has a few portraits by Gilbert Stuart. By the way, the Smithsonian is administered by the federal government.

I love rock photography and that photo of Brian May will be mine. Just as soon as I squirrel the cash away for it.

ok fine!

Yeah, the interpretation that Bedelia would cut off her own leg and know how to prepare human flesh, Hannibal-style, seems like a huge stretch. My thought was that Hannibal survived and came home for dinner.

One of my all time favorite movies. It probably helps that I was 13 when it was released.

I was thinking the same thing. I love Chilton.

"Mongo was easy. The bitch was inventing the candygram."

I love this.

There are just too many to count.

I can't stop laughing at this.
