Unfortunately, he still got hit by the bullet of Ryan Gosling's aazing non-existent singing voice.

Speaking of derangement…

Nah, just in February.

Wow! It sounds like three or four of these thirty-eight films might have decent supporting roles for women!

Nor by being asked to lose 35 pounds at age 60. Significant weight gain and weight loss are both a major cause of heart attacks in older people. (As my-mother-the-nurse also opined over Christmas.)

I don't remember exactly how it was structured, but it was pretty long. If you didn't get to the part about the trials of each of the lawyers, you didn't finish it.

Don't even HINT about anything bad happening to SRK.

Nope, it was Trip Tripler. Sal would NEVER work for George Will.

That would explain the pilot.

What the hell is a pretzel salad?

My-mother-the-nurse says it's hell on your cardiovascular system, too.

My library is vastly tilted towards graphic novels/trades on the grounds that they benefit from being read on paper far more than prose books do, so I'm both more likely to buy dead tree graphic novels in the first place, and more likely to hold onto them, too. I've never had any trouble reading on a computer screen,…

Hah. My sister reviews books professionally (she's a freelancer for a journal; it is not a major source of income) and most of what they send her is meh to baaaaaaaad. She says she never reviews a book without finishing it, but for the really execrable ones, she may end up skimming through a lot of text.

I love reading a book so good that I want to be reading it ALL THE TIME until it's done, the kind of book where I get actively annoyed by interruptions, instead of reading just being something I do to fill the time on the bus. It was so much easier to get that attached to a book when I was a kid and didn't have much…

I generally have three going at any given time. One book (usually non-fiction) on my phone that I read when I'm commuting or otherwise out and about), one physical prose book (usually fiction), and one physical graphic novel. I read the latter two at night (I have chronic insomnia, so as part of my sleep hygiene, I…

I actually did that a few years ago, shortly after I moved. I realized I was tired of packing and unpacking and devoting shelf space to books I hadn't read (some of them dated back to college, which is well over a decade ago for me now) and might never read, and was hauling around out of a sense of guilt. I resolved…

There are some classics I've avoided watching because I want to see them theatrically (and since I live near the AFI Silver, if I wait long enough, I'll probably get the chance), like The Passion of Joan of Arc.

I am reminded of that Doonesbury storyline where whatisface, Sal's old college roommate, gets hired as George Will's quote boy.
