@Balsa Wood: Actually I was going to commend Foster for a realistic figure. There's nothing for gay people to like here. The last time we were on board was Queen of the Damned, and well, I mean.
Tangentially on topic: would someone please explain to me how Mormons think vampires are acceptable subject matter? The Catholics are predictably (if belatedly) pissed, but why is Steffanee Meyer's church silent on the issue? Is it because she's raised their profile immeasurably with her fame? I'm so curious about this, because religious hypocrisy fascinates me, but I have yet to read an article, blog post or comment discussing this.
@Lysergic Asset: IDK, maybe because here's nothing in the Book of Mormon about not drinking blood? If Edward had a latte or a mojito, then, there'd be some angry Mormons...
@Lysergic Asset: From what I know, the Mormons (for the most part) don't view books like Twilight or Harry Potter as inherently bad because they involve magic and vampires. I think most focus on the message, which in the Twilight series is obviously abstinence until marriage, male dominance over females, etc. etc.
I could be wrong. But in high school my Mormon friends liked and read/saw Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, etc. As long as it remains a fantasy and people don't start saying that magic is real or good doesn't triumph over evil, then I think it's cool with them.
At the risk of being annoying, I think that makes it BatsSpidersSparkly Vampires. The fact that The Dark Knight is still on top is the only thing stopping me from wishing death on humanity.
Foster, you break my heart. Must you remind me that I am not movie star good looking like Kristen Stewart? I would rate myself as maybe off-off-off Broadway good looking. And if I am not on that coast, can I claim even that? I'm so depressed now. I'm going to go buy a zhu zhu pet. And it's YOUR fault.
@sarrible: Tyson is the hot one. Tyrese is the dumb one with lyrics like "Late night phone calls on the telephone." As opposed to other kinds of phone calls? Dumbass.
I just find the idea of spending $3 million dollars on a birthday party to be disgusting. I know...it's his money and he can spend it any way he wants, but some of that money could have helped out a lot of people.
@DevilsAvocadoRedux: I had heard the phrase 'bespoke tailor' prior to your using it, but I always assumed it meant 'well-mannered', for some odd reason.
(Are you Redux because you got banned at some point?)
@Lysergic Asset: Not banned. I would have welcomed a Ketching - go down in flames, and all that. But it was far more mundane. My previous incarnation got scrambled during the last upgrade, so I had to start all over again. Sent a couple of emails to Gabriel, but gave up pestering lest my behaviour be categorised as stalkerish. Sigh. All that hard work, out the window. Minsley Tortimer bequeathed me one of his seldom-used avatars - MySluttyPony. Tee hee.
Hear, hear. After absenting myself for most of this year, I'm very happy to be back. And, although it did result in my former self's demise, I'm really glad they tidied up the commenting system. It's much, much snappier now. Like all the best bits from the old days without the waffle and squabbling that used to go on a bit too much.
@RandomLunatic: As someone who thought she was going to have to put up her dukes and kick some shins when some Twihards thought we were cutting their line at the theater Friday night, I second this emotion.
You'd have thought RobPat was waiting in the theater for them and we were dressed like Joan Jett.

Which, by the way, did you know some insane Scot murdered his friend and ate the head because Aaliyah told him to do so?

Oh Jacob, how you lure me with those biceps...

You forgot "werewolf fetishists" in your list there, Foster.

My uncle is a bespoke tailor.
Wow - that sounds like a secret code from a Bond movie...
"My uncle is a bespoke tailor"..."Bond? James Bond? Felix Underwood, CIA. Welcome to Miami. I have a car waiting."
But, really. My uncle is a bespoke tailor.
