valarltdGen Wesley Clark, The Democratic Mary Sue:
"He comes across as less angry than Howard Dean (who can give the impression that one-on-one he might put the president in a headlock). He seems more personable than John Kerry, more mature than John Edwards, more telegenic than Joe Lieberman and so on."

Blah. Just blah. My courses are nature's dirty trick. Dolly Parton said it best:
"Eve you wicked woman, you done put your curse on me
Why didn't you just leave that apple hangin' in the tree
You make us hate our husbands, our lovers and our boss
Why i can't even count the good friends i've already lost"
"...You don't want to cross my path
Cause a pitbull ain't no match
For these teeth a clenchin', fluid retention
Head a swellin', can't stop yellin'
Got no patience, i'm so hateful
Pms blues, "
That was last week, actually... Now I'm crampy, cranky and messy.
Starsky and Hutch: The Movie is slated for relaese next spring. Cry nostalgia and let slip the dogs of bad taste. Not to be hateful about the boys (and they were sexy boys) but I am so sick of 70's nostalgia. The decaade wasn't that appealing the first time around!
Besides, wanna bet all the lovely subtext is leached away? Gimme the old reruns, thanks.
"Relentlessly cheery images make me feel haunted by the past, as if I were an extra in a David Lynch movie, drenched with sunny dread...When will the future stop looking like a set from Blade Runner?"

The "This is Sex" Icon making meme will eat Live Journal! Make sure you get a bite! Mine will be up this afternoon.
1) Han bent over the conduit, butt to the camera.
2) Han on the scan-grid
3) Luke, staring into the sunset
4) Luke's eyes
5) Luke's mouth
6) Sweaty Harrison chest from the Ki-Rin ad
7) Mark backshot from either Corvette summer or Body Bags
8) Grey bikini briefs from Black Magic Woman
9) Gethsemene kiss, JCS 2000
10) Last Supper climax, JCS 2000
11) Any of the apostles, esp. Simon Zealotes (looking like a boyband reject) or the "Sons of Thunder join Initiative" types
12) Indy being beaten (temple of doom)
13) indy biting apple (ToD), close-up of mouth...
14) Rhett carrying Ashley
15) Mindmeld, just fingers and face
Eh, it's a start
It's looking stormy here. Hope it doesn't rain out our fair-going plans. (whine, whine, whine when millons on the eastern seaboard are without power, I know, I know. We DID the 90-120 mph winds already this year, with NO warning, and no time to take shelter. So I want to go to the Fair, and not disappoint my kids. Is that a crime?)
The printers at work are conspiring to make me scream. The printer for public use gives me a 41.5 error, and there's a label stuck in the line printer I use for overdue notices.
Mmm, out of here in 2.5 hours. Then to RGIS to get my shirt and schedule. And then, bring my button eq. to work tomorrow and do up 50 anti-censorship buttons.
Bunny got my trial ones: a Harry Potter cover with the caption "I read Banned Books" and "There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches." Ray Bradbury She's wearing them on her backpack. Dollface insisted, so she got a HP one to wear on her "packpack"
Progress reports were good: Bunny got all A's (an improvement over last year), Obi was split 2 A, 2 B (again, better than last year. Jonner is doing well and has started talking in class. (He wouldn't talk for the first 3 weeks)

Starsky & Hutch will have subtext
Date: 2003-09-23 02:56 am (UTC)Seriously, the actors playing the roles in the movie (Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson) have been in several movies together and even in the ones they're not technically supposed to have subtext in, they have it.
If you're interested in seeing them together, I very highly recommend Zoolander which even has a threesome (or moresome depending on one's POV) sex scene though you don't get to see the boys actually doing anything from memory - they might touch a bit, it's been a while. There's subtext up the wazoo, though. And it has cameos from two of my favourite Davids - Bowie and Duchovny, as well as one from Vince Vaughn who's also in S&H - I think he'll be the villain somehow.
But seriously, unless they have a subtext-ectomy, it'll be there.
