I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Kristen Ritter is her name, you filthy Neanderthals and Garbon.
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son

Very odd. Both your comment and the fact that the internet gives Krysten Ritter.

Fine you are correct, it is Krysten and you are a Neanderthal too.

I don't know. When I get it in my mind to correct people, I generally try to be right. :blurgh:

Wheee reviews.

The Lego Movie (2014).

Without falling victim to the awful traps its very premise sets for itself, The Lego Movie is largely devoid of the gimmricky, nonsensicality, and overwrought sentimentality one might have feared; instead, even if its philosophy of life is really very terribly suspect, it never fails to deliver it with intensely beautiful, genuinely funny, and sweetly moving verve.  Plus, if you add up all the jokes at his expense, it makes fun of Batman for like a full half hour, which is worth a B even if the other sixty minutes were literally blank screen.  But they're not, so it is, in fact, the Clue of our time, and thus the first great movie of 2014.  And in February?  Everything really is awesome.

Batman is the worst person I've ever met

Also wrote up I'm So Excited! (2013).

In the main a supremely delightful comedy, undermined by a completely unrelated side-story that drains its once-seemingly infinite energy for an interminable 20 minutes, before being critically damaged when Almodovar, without much indication he knows what he's doing, plays a violent felony for laughs.

May Stephen Stucker smile upon you, and never mention your weight

I was watching the B5 episode "Soul Hunter" again the other day, featuring Morgan Shepard (probably known to most people here as the voice of Civ V) who had been auditioning for the G'Kar role. I like him in pretty any role I've seen him so far (even his ST-TNG guest appearance "Women aren't people! They're women!").



What I wasn't aware of, though, is that he's the father of Mark Shepard who's been on pretty much all nerd shows from X-Files to Star Trek, from Firefly to Doctor Who.

They have a similar pitch, but Mark's voice is much softer.

She's Jesse Pinkman's dead girlfriend to me.

She's also Bitchy Best Friend in She's Out Of My League.  I think she's kinda hot, in a not-threatened-by-or-begrudging-her-success kinda way.

You're just saying that cause she's not fat and fugly.
