Aw yay thank you! I'm a fan of your work too!

It's the William Ware Theiss theory at work, the gloves version looks like it's closer to tearing suggestively

I don't think it's necessarily a bad idea! I would also be interested in, like, "a benevolent sewer clown is terrorized by a group of horrible children." It's just SUCH a ship of Theseus.

I mean I'm not mad about a new take on a classic but at least "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" had the decency to warn you in the title

The one by Mark Harris is excellent and does indeed feature a section on this film!

From the director of, and I cannot stress this enough, both The Graduate and The Birdcage

Short sleeve polo with a tie, yes indeed. I still have that tie, which I know because recently I was watching Truth or Dare and spotted a lesbian wearing a shirt made out of the same material

Why did this image post twice? Who knows. Anyway, apparently I was quoting some dietary advice I'd recently read

Going through old files and found my high school senior portrait. My quote was "For added protein, nuts to you," which I cannot remember if I meant as a dirty double-entendre

On the other hand, how dare they describe my family in this manner

Amazon's profile on me says that I watch "classic and specialty films regularly," so I went to my watch history to see what it was basing that on and you know what, fair

Not the point of this story, but this the first thing the site shows you when you try to read it. So bleak that this kind of reporting is so constrained by what it takes to fund it.

In the 1980s, WA State Rep Cal Anderson heard cops were hassling people in gay bars, so he went when cops were there & dared them to give him trouble. They backed down. Not as high-stakes as standing against tear gas, but still the kind of leadership we're entitled to demand from elected officials.

Please tell me there's an audio recording of her barking

I just interviewed Scott Heim, author of the novel Mysterious Skin, for The Stranger in Seattle -- check out our conversation about Scott's writing process, the arduous journey of turning his book into a film, and his childhood encounter with a UFO: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ry1R...
