105. I hated her. I was glad to realise I hate her absolutely on her own merit, not because of the actress playing her or because she has no personality. She has plenty of it. It's just ridiculously self-righteous and annoying. To me, anyway.
123. The bit that always drives me nuts is that instead of the psychotic and powerful burning to death on a pyre scene, we instead get Denethor on fire, running around like a fool, flailing his arms, and eventually falling off a cliff. I always have to add the Goofy scream to that when I see it (aaaah-hoo-hoo-hooooy). It just looked silly. The only character rape that really bugs me in the end is Denethor. I've heard the explanation, I still don't get it. "Not if I saw it lying on the side of the road" in no wacky parallel universe equals "you are now my prisoner, I'm totally like my brother."
128. No good parent would ever want their child to be that horrible damaged and incapable of being happy. But Gregory's a cool name.
153. As someone who lives in Louisiana (though not at the mo') and who's pretty constantly worried about my family there... this made me giggle. I wonder what hurricane 34 would read like. My favourite hurricane joke will always be the picture of Rita Repugna photoshopped over Hurrican Rita right after Katrina.
160. I can't imagine why anyone would. Okay, so I haven't really gone out of my way to see any of his more recent movies, but he's still one of my favourites. The Jerk, Planes Trains and Automobiles, The Absent-Minded Waiter... I love this guy and his adaptable, gentle-but-sharp humour.
165. Agreed. I was always miffed that he died before the thing with the Weevils played out. Forget the bit after he died the first time--remember back in "Combat" when he was still alive? The weevils were scared of him then too. There was supposed to be something about Owen, dangit. I always liked him, but I started liking him more when he became more devloped. If "Water...from the kettle...milk...tea...milk." doesn't break your heart...then we're just not watching the same show.
170. I love that place so so much, and I spend/waste waaaaay too much time on it.
172. Thank you. I'm not about to whine about the finale. As a Zutara-fan, I still felt a warm cozy feeling when Aang and Katara got their kiss. And if her actions in the second seasons hadn't made me feel that Mai was either flat and funny, or real and dispicable, I think I would've liked the way Maiko played out. But the guys were very very generous to us shippers, I think, and they gave us oodles of fodder. You can read it one way, or you can read it another way, but "delusional?" No. Very very plausible. Did it happen? No. That doesn't mean the idea of it happening was ridiculous either, though.
179. I don't think I'll ever watch it just because it seems like it's mocking people who are still virigins and saying that virginity after a certain age is something to be ashamed of.
180. Agreed.
182. The sad thing is, I feel this way too. But not just about boyfriends. I've gone and embarked on a little six-month adventure, and halfway through, I've realised I much prefer sitting in my room reading/drawing/daydreaming adventure in a nice, cozy place.
