    Well, I for one applaud her. This was a good career choice as college humor is slightly more funny than vogue. Just by an inch. #beeshaffer

    I wandered into the kitchen and considered for, like, the tenth time that day, how hard it would be to, like, pee into a funnel or something and then into, like, my boss's coffee. He was, like, such a fucking cretin.
    "Hey!" he, like, yelled from the office. "How long does it take you to get me a cup of coffee, you dozy posh cow? You're not trying to find a goddamn funnel again, are you?"
    I settled for opening a cupboard door and, like, writing "Ricky Van Veen has a really small peen" in the dust with my, like, finger.

    From "The Devil Most Certainly Does Not, Like, Wear Prada," Bee Shaffer, 2010. #beeshaffer

    @FormerEnglishMajor: Well, I know virtually nothing about Bee, other than she has a dumb name and a creepy mother, but she could have very easily gone the Trump route: gotten a job working for Mommy and written a book on how to "succeed" at "Vogue."

    I'm not really defending Bee (seriously, what's with rich WASPs and ridiculous names anyway?). I'm just pointing out that she didn't go the nepotism route. And true, that's not much of an accomplishment -- unless you compare her to the 3 Trumps, Rob Speyer and Valerie Peltier, Aerin Lauder, Celerie Kemble and Boykin Curry (see what I mean about the dumb names?), Billy Macklowe, etc. #beeshaffer

    Is this the end of the $20 million club? At this weekend's box office, the top two performers -- Final Destination and Halloween 2 -- the *stars* are the horrific special effects and 3-D technology. Is this the rise of the un-celebrity? Can we expect to see a Captain America Vanity Fair cover in the near future in which the films star is covered up by red, white and blue pajamas?

    Not sure how I feel about this other than to say, perhaps it won't be so bad. Disney loves a franchise. There have been 1700 Pirate of the Caribbean movies. And that could be lucrative for Marvel, but baaaad for the "less is more" concept of comic book films. but, you know, maybe I'll hold my dismay in reserve at least until they marry two woefully bad ideas, Johnny Depp + Spawn.

    Wow, the geek whining took no time, did it? God forbid this leads to Pixar getting their hands on Marvel properties, because they did such a lousy job with their Fantastic Four/Watchmen mash-up, The Incredibles. That'll never compare to excellent work done on Daredevil, Elektra, Ghost Rider, The Punisher...

    Oh, wait...

    @Lincolnsbeard33: I disagree, but not for the reasons you think. I'm not focusing on the Disneyification of Marvel, but rather looking at the one other successful Disney property geared toward young males - ESPN. I fear the ESPNification of Marvel will not be a good thing.
