Sorry, but any movie that gives me leather-panted Denzel on horseback can be forgiven.
Major wrod.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Sorry, but any movie that gives me leather-panted Denzel on horseback can be forgiven. And the Keanu-oiling scene was good until he started talking.
Leather-panted Denzel on horseback not achieving Emma Thompson. Glhglhglhglh.
I actually had moments of liking Keanu in MAAN. He skulked nicely. But, as has been pointed out? He also spoke. Luckily, since I'm mellow about the comedies, I could just sort of go lalalala and concentrate on Ken, Emma, Denzel, and Miss Beckinsale, who is adorable. Oh, and Michael Keaton, just a weeeeeee bit over the top as Dogberry. Beetlejuice, as written by Shakespeare - yowsa!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Damn, I'd forgotten that this film gave us the Ben Elton-Michael Keaton combo. Now that was surreal. (Ben Elton v. well known in the UK as stand up comedian in the lefty political commentator/observer of the human condition type, who has also written various books and plays now. But who really was the last person one would have expected to have acting with Ken'n'Em'n'Keaton. In fact, the whole damn film was crammed with unlikely people. As was Branagh's Hamlet, which featured Ken Dodd as Yorrick in flashback. (Ken Dodd being ye olde Music Hall type entertainer.)

I like Ben Elton. A lot.
But I lurve Eddie Izzard. Can you see him as Dogberry?

If I only had a brain...
Billy Crystal gave the only funny Gravedigger performance I've ever seen. Hats off to him.

For any UK-istas with Sky, apparently from Monday they'll be showing Buffy from the first ep at noon every weekday. Which is a good thing. VCRs at the ready, methinks.

And don't forget that Firefly starts on Monday too on the SciFi channel!
Yay!

I've already bribed/cajoled/threatened my family into letting me have the front room so I can watch Firefly. Damnable digital only being on one tv! They can bloody well watch Eastenders upstairs. That's the theory, anyway. In reality, there will probably be some selective, yet convenient amnesia come Monday night.

Sob. Y'all Brits are giving up wigs? And taking the drama out of the robes?
Next the Guards will be wearing practical uniforms that they could actually fight somebody postdating 1850 in.

I know. And yay indeed. But-- may I just take a moment to scream?
(White font for loud noise) AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Thank you.
(By way of explanation: Monday, 8 pm. Sci-Fi: Firefly. Sky One: Enterprise. I live in a household containing a dedicated Trekkie. I will be seeing Firefly when Sci-Fi repeat it on Friday.)
