Mom has texted to say that Grandma's brain tumorectomy went well: "She's already talking to the doctor. She says she has a headache--imagine that!" Indeed. Also: whew ( Read more... )

I rarely participate in a pile-on, but I made an exception in that case. Cripes.

Both me and my lusciously Rubenesque ass piled on, as did everyone I e-mailed that article to. The sheer amount of condescension was MIND BLOWING.

I don't think I've ever seen anything to top it for sheer hateful cluelessness. I am flabbergasted. And considerably pissed.

Jesus, a quarter of a century later and Aliens is still every bit as badass as it was back in the day. And I'm pleased -- not very surprised, though -- that it played such an interesting role in your mother-daughter dynamic. Your mom rocks.

Speaking of, very glad the grandma and foresthouse are doin' well -- best to both and all.

Highly recommended. And if you know nothing about the franchise or its trappings, that's almost an advantage. It's an excellent Halloween week movie.

The first time I ever saw it, on cable, I watched a 'making of' special that preceded it, and the movie still scared the bejebus out of me, even though I had technically been spoiled for a lot of the big scenes. It's one of the few sequels to anything, I think, that stands completely on its own. (I didn't see the first film till years later.)

I'm so glad your grandma's surgery went well! You should get some crazy pins to put on the turbans and go around having her read people's ridiculous fortunes.

Yay for talking Grandma! And check the hospital gift shop for turbans, they usually have a good selection.
