Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Is she a bad actress, or was it that dialogue? I cringed at every word. I'm not sure if Meryl Streep could have pulled that off.

at first, I blamed the writing, but no one else's scenes are as bad as hers.

“Not dead yet!”

Singing Bel Biv Devoe! He should look ridiculous!

How about "Golddigger" wearing those jeans and the tight t-shirt?

Guh.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

How about "Golddigger" wearing those jeans and the tight t-shirt?

Yes, that was the beginning of my downfall.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

You know, I think it may be that there's a sort of earnestness there. Like, "I'm going to sing and dance to this song! I like this song! Enjoy this song with me, won't you?" that's not trying to be HAWT or campy.

I find JT can pull this off sometimes too, and I'm disturbed by that.

Color Me Badd! This is just not fair.

Yes, I was very amused by the smooth R&B selections. I wanted some Boys II Men.

So, has Acafellas disbanded since Josh Groban doesn't want them as an opening act?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

There was lots of cringiness.

And yet, as soon as they hit the numbers, whammo.

Also, wouldn't it cost a lot less than $8000 to buy a fog machine? I'm just saying Sue must have a significantly long view.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

If anyone can catch a rerun of Inside the Actors Studio with the voices of Family Guy, I highly recommend it. It was hysterical.

or is just that hateful.

so, was the cheerio at the end starting to see through Sue's hate-on for the glee club? It sounded like she was becoming *gasp* self aware!
