He's the GODDAMN BATMAN. He has his ways.

I look forward to the day when Marilyn is the iconic figure you only know about if you're into old movies or the 50s.

Well, The Grudge was a hit. Y'know, I don't much care, and I kind of doubt she does, either. The choices she's made haven't done well, but they haven't been choices that reflected a desire to be big box office, either.

There's also that.

That and just the nature of some of his tweets seems a lot more like other fake accounts I've seen than like genuine celeb accounts. I'm willing to be wrong; I just haven't found it very convincing.

You can access yearbooks at libraries, etc.

I have serious doubts the Ezra Miller Twitter is legit.

We had Jarts and I still miss my clackers.

Yeah, Sarah with her fairly successful post-Buffy horror movie career and then apparently happy motherhood.

The Granthams are presented as idealized aristos, very modern and broad-minded in many ways, and excellent employers, and this fits in with that. There certainly were people like that no matter the era, and I bought his reasoning for feeling the way he did about it. There's also the fact that the British have never…

I LOVED last year's Narnia-themed Doctor Who Christmas outing and accept absolutely no criticism of it at all. *Ping* is the sound criticisms make as they bounce off my shield of delight with that episode.

He's also got the largest (or at least the most clearly spelled-out) and pointless body count at least that I can think of for a Disney villain, so I argue he had it coming. I was really glad they actually killed him.

I love Strax. That is all.

It can be really hard living in a state that leans politically-opposite [and/or philosophically-opposite...] to whatever you think and never getting any traction no matter what you do. 2004 broke me, and I moved out of Indiana finally for similar reasons. I never did go around saying we weren't all like that, though,…

Perfect.

No, I think that's what *you* mean. You're welcome to make your own, separate comment to that effect.

*Roll Supernatural opening credits*

My point was "don't be complacent" which is what the hand-waving dismissal of fringe groups indicates might be the case. Safe the OP might be in Asheville but that's just for now. I'm not sure how you're turning that around to mean that I'm accusing the OP of being a Tea Partier...?

Sorry, I read yours too fast. Millais is my favorite, and I get protective of him.

Ruskin had clear tendencies and hangups though whether he acted on them is a pretty big question. He wouldn't consummate his marriage with Effie Ruskin because she didn't look like the idealized paintings he admired (read: she had body hair) and he and his parents tried to convince her she was crazy. She eventually…
