“Film nerd.” Not “film need.” Aargh, autocorrect and small editing window!

I love it, but that’s in large part because I still have no idea who the fuck he is aside from recognizing his name. It’s kind of like if my great-grandfather who died before I was born had been in a blood war with Wyndham Standing. Don’t know who that is? Neither do I.

I’m hoping there’s a sequel, she’s in it, and she’s in it because she killed her uncle since she got over her buck fever as a result of facing down The Beast.

My suggestion as a film need is to have her watch both The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable with an explanation something along the line of “this is how his career started, and then he made a *bunch* of crappy movies we’ll skip so you don’t have to repress them later, and now he has another one that’s supposed to be good!”…

I realized the day after I saw it that as soon as the word “sacred” was uttered in reference to the girls, my brain started watching it as a movie about cults. The different personalities were the equivalent of cult members at varying levels of commitment to their leader. They just happened to all be in the same body.…

I think he was the one who put a hold on Pompeio’s nomination. It was either him or Wyden. Even though they’re both my senators, they are delightfully interchangeable on a lot of issues, so I get them mixed up a lot. I think we’re going to see Merkley pop up in the news doing things like this a lot more because his…

There’s no petty like Oregonian petty. We’re also fucking awesome at passive-aggressive.

Also, Ewan McGregor is an Officer of the British Empire, is an adoption awareness activist, does a lot of work for UNICEF (including going to remote places and helping with their immunization campaigns), and received the BAFTA Britannia Humanitarian award, among many other things. He seems to act merely to pay his…

I’ll do that just as soon as I become a bro, sis.

Due to shitacular weather, I was unable to get this tattoo on Saturday as originally planned (also, placement question. Appropriate or offensive to get it on the top of my wrist?):

But then the #whodidnegankill hashtag wouldn’t have trended! Don’t you know the sole measure of a show’s success and quality is Twitter?

A staffer answers the phone (at least one did in my case). I just said something like “Hello, I am calling to voice my [support of or opposition to] [whatever you’re calling about].” And you can just say HR 7 if you know the resolution number, or you can say “the resolution to withdraw from the United Nations” or…

And late-term abortions! Women in their eighth month do not get abortions for funsies or because they had a whoopsies they just didn’t notice until now.

This might be a good time for me to mention that HR 7 — prohibiting insurance plans from covering abortion services — was reintroduced a week and a half ago. I’ve got a call to my representative slotted into my schedule for tomorrow morning. My new workweek morning routine: get to work, empty the dishwasher because no…

Oh. My. God. I’m crossing my fingers and hoping it plays in the multiplex in Battle Ground, which is the closest one to where Tonya Harding currently lives. I will smuggle in Taco Bell and Twizzlers. It will be fucking *glorious* despite my hatred of that town (I lived there for pretty much the entirety of the…

Holy shit, that lime green eyeshadow. While I understand the point of the review was the fact that it was a crayon, I will be spending my evening digging through my eyeshadow collection for a lime green because that is GORGEOUS. I have literally hundreds of jars of loose pigment. I’m absolutely positive I have one in…

Entire second half? I could have sworn it started during the first half. Maybe it just *felt* like they had been hyping that shit forever.

This. So much this. I have no problem with gore. What I *do* have a problem with is a show that fucks with its audience in order to try to engineer trending topics on social media and that defends stringing them along with weeks between storyline resolution (*cough*dumpster*cough*) with the claim that it will work…

I’ve decided to go ahead and call anyway. My theory is that the more of us who call to let them know we’re behind them, the stronger they will fight for us. The very nice guy I talked to this morning encouraged me to keep this up, so I kind of think that maybe our calls letting them know they’re doing exactly what we…

Also “I assure you.” I’ve heard that one in so many bullshit situations that I now flat-out laugh whenever I hear/read it.
