George Michael and Maebe are on Veronica Mars now. It's weird. And Alia cut off her pretty, pretty hair.

You can cry, if you want to.

And that's different from being a blatant troll, which is what foc was.

She also said "I wasn't sure it was you until I saw the flower" It's a screw-up. And I imagine there will be an additional scene in the DVD.

David Carr is the ultimate underdog, really. Gets hit over and over and over, and he just gets back up. And he often throws an awesome pass to Andre Johnson, who is invariably double-covered. I'd like to see the Texans do well.

What is this 'wrestling' you speak of?

Well, beating off to Carnival is perfectly acceptable. I thought that went without saying.

It was honestly a pleasant surprise to me too. I don't go to movies I think will suck, and I didn't think V would really suck, but I was prepared to be disappointed. However, it was actually really good. I was prepare to hate it since Alan Moore had disowned it, but they actually, in my mind, kept V decidedly a villainous hero, They kept his mad, theatrical flair, I think they did great. And the last action sequence, though tacked on to excite the audience, was the bees' knees. The only recent movie that has pleasantly surprised me like that is Constantine, which I was fully prepared to hate, but was, IMO, very surprisingly good. Not a great mocie, but good. Who knew a blonde, alcoholic, chain-smoking English asshole could be portrayed quite competently by Keanu?

DO NOT WANT made me bust a gut. I don't even know why. Suzuki is a PIMP.

I always thought the rave scene in Zion was the Wachowskis' poor attempt to portray the free-wheeling Rastafarians on sattelite 'Zion' in Neuromancer. There, you have people who live on a fucking sattelite, but eschew modern technology. Smoke a lot of herb, live on a sattelite!

Honestly. Do you beat off to Leena? That's, for some reason, gross.

The Akira soundtrack is really good. Some guy brought it in at my last job, making doughnuts. Prince made a "Purple Rain" movie? God, I'm ignorant. And I need to see that movie badly. I still think 'Superfly' is a tad better than 'Purple Rain', though. It's honestly beautiful.

Fox Kids ran Vision of Escaflowne, but apparently completely nuetered it. It's not a particularly bloody or vicious anime, but it's not for kids. Watch the original. Half of the experience is Yoko Kanno's score. She's a fucking genius. She did the music for Cowboy Bebop (Jazz, eclectic, western) Macross Plus (Techno) and Escaflowne (Orchestral.) If I could give you my ICT tapes I would, you'd love that series.

As an addendum, and overview. It's about a total idiot savant who takes over a piece of shit space-cruiser. He's lazy, lecherous, pathetic and brilliant. He's totally naive. Seriously, the climax of the series to William Tell's orchestra is brilliant, totally logical and moving. It's the most optimistic, wonderful thing.

You know WP, I've never seen Gatchaman, but I know how to spell it. Have you seen Vision of Escaflowne yet? It probably fucks every anime show you like in the ass. If you want a space saga, watch Irresponsible Captain Tylor. It, at times, is the funniest thing I've seen. It has the greatest climactic scene I've ever seen. It's a wonderful show. ICT is So up your alley.

And I love the Shield, and think Dames is cool, but, yeah: That post deserved a little mockery. It was Oh GOD THE ROOMS SPINNING level of overreaction. And Arrested Development got cancelled. I mean, I really liked the show but serio-OH GOD THE ROOM'S SPINNING I'M GOING TO THROW UP BLOOD AND BILE AGAIN.

Here's how an ignored thread of foc would have looked: I saw X movie. It was pretty good. I really liked Y and Z about it. But XX was a little contrived. [ignored] Are you fucking retarded? That has nothing to do with this movie. Ok. *long and reasonable explanation* [ignored] Ok, that's the dumbest thing I have ever, ever, heard. I mean ever. How can you type? New Post: :Yeah, so regarding Y and Z, I really liked it too. Here's why XX makes sense. [ignored] HOW CAN YOU THINK THAT? Are you undergoing shock treatment WHILE you type? That makes no sense, it's fucking inconceivable. [ignored] BAN PLZ

I nominate myself and UTSU. Can I nominate CronoT post-mortem?

You can believe this show's following is slowly going to grow. It's the best show I've ever seen. Bar-fucking-none. I feel bad, until I realize we got about 18 hours of the funniest show in the universe. That's a lot of funny. And I am glad that, really, they had a chance to do a final, wonderful series finale. It didn't just end like Freaks and Geeks. I think Will Arnett's going to be the next breakout comedy star in America, right after Steve Carrell.

The Harvard of the south. They never call Harvard the Tulane of the North.

Well, I'm about to lose my mind. That should compensate.

Leena's been mellow lateley. Yay Leena.

Evey debating unmasking V is still a powerful, vital, scene.

It would be a stupid pick, and moreover I'd be really sad to see Bush without a line. If they pick Bush, it's for short term financial gain. I can understrand that. People will pay to see him play. For a season. Am I the only one who really likes David Carr? Probably. I just want to see what he could do if he wasn't setting record sacks.

There's a huge difference between Leena and the erstwhile fanofcoils. Leena is an ostensibly real person who can, yes, be occasionally psycho. She also posts lots of good stuff in the Sports folder, and she's not a troll like foc. Even when she posts in HD, she's not a troll at all. Occasionally mean? Attention wanting? Yes. If people want to cream all over her latest avatar, that's their decision. There's a huge difference between derailing tons of threads, and people falling all over themselves to love/hate Leena in HD.
