I'm definitely a bookish 14 y.o. girl at heart - except when I'm a crass 13 y.o. boy at heart. Either way - sold!

"Whatever you say, Les."

Oooh. Okay.

You go to the Lower Haight for taquerias?? I thought you went to the Lower Haight when you're too lazy/tired to go to Berkeley for Ethiopian food.

Lord God above, you really didn't need that second picture, I heard (but had my eyes shut) during the whole cold open.

You tease!

It's not taking off, movie-wise, and yet they keep trying, movie-wise.

*giggles and giggles and giggles* I must see this.

I still need to see the movie.

I enjoyed the book, it's not a good book (I was on a coast-to-coast plane ride and just needed something to power through).

I would say that S&S&S is better than P&P&Z. More/better world-building, what they do with Margaret is pretty cool, and there's a class critique in the added passages that makes it a bit more than "so on their way to the picnic, they were attacked by monsters" …

Most assuredly.

Hmmm. How different would the Branagh version be if you swapped Keanu Reeves and Michael Keaton …

Dogfight is my jam.

Friend of mine is in this movie - one of the horde of pirates I think. Working on this movie nearly broke him. 18 to 20-hour workdays, no days off, etc. I wished, for his sake, that the movie was better.

White Collar.

The first time I ever saw the term mpreg, it was in relation to Krychek.
