Sunday night, trying to gear back up into Black Ribbon

So I did watch all of Infamous last night, and I scribbled down the Harper Lee bit that I liked:
I read an interview with Frank Sinatra, in which he said about Judy Garland, 'Every time she sings, she dies a little. That's how much she gave.' It's true for writers, too, who hope to create something lasting. They die a little getting it right. And

Yeah, I have the Vess-illustrated edition, and I still consider it a novel, not a GN. To me, a GN is primarily told in pictures, with text dialogue and possibly some "voiceover" text. Watchmen had "documents" between each chapter, but it still wasn't traditional-style narrative. Of course, that may be an unnecessarily tight definition, but there you are. : )

And yeah, I was so struck by the Infamous quote when I saw the end of the movie. The way Sandra Bullock reads the lines, too, is great--very slowly and very sadly, and you can tell she's not talking just about Capote, but also about To Kill a Mockingbird.

Hee, no problem. As for the movie, I don't know what kind of TV/cable you have, but I just trolled our digital cable channels until I found it again. I think Capote's on some time tomorrow, in fact. Beats waiting for Netflix, if you don't mind appointment TV.

Heh heh, I remember telling my mother that they were ging to make a HP musical. Book-musicals can go either way (Wicked is a smash, but it annoys me; Lestat flopped, but I love it anyway) so we'll see.

"Bad breath is more like a social disease"- WEST SIDE STORY FTW!

Bill Nye offends group in Waco "when he suggested that the moon does not emit light, but instead reflects the light of the sun."

Heh. Thomas Rick's book on Iraq Fiasco is one of the books for my history class, and there's a huge list of contractions at the beginning (DoD, IADs, and the like); at the very bottom it says "List compilied by Bill Bye the Science Guy"

Well, if he is, as he says, the one who came up with the shower scene in Casino Royale, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Awww, that was my favorite part (although I kept wanting her to change out of the pretty pretty dress so that it didn't get even more damaged)

So Shyamalan is just ripping off The Andromeda Strain now? Lovely.

The sad thing is I'm probably related to those people in Waco.
