From Anne Rice's Sweeney Todd review:

"A Conventicle of Geniuses Came Together Here. And this conventicle has brought us a glistening and irresistible nightmare. There are delicious Dickensian overtones throughout, and the look of the film itself is poetically potent."

ginmar's response:

QUOTE

If your conventicle malfunctions, don't they do a triple bypass?

And keep reading that Psychotic Fans thread, because you'll laugh 'til you cry. At least I did.

The Celebrity Good Quotes thread has a discussion about the opening to the 1989 Oscars that should not be missed. The disucssion is over 2 pages long at this point so I won't quote it directly, just go and read it.

The Lady of Shalott treats us to another marvellous, genius, awe-inspiring rant in Blowing Off Steam.

In his brilliant plan for the Oscars, Skyblade sums up Alan Rickman's career:

QUOTE

He's been in more memes than a foreign kid with a webcam.

ginmar, in the Psychotic Fans thread:

QUOTE

Ever had a vaguely scary friend who was obsessed with a star? Who worked that star into everything conversaition, even the weather? Well, before hte internet they were all by themselves. PUt them together on the internet and it leads to avatars, bad grammar, lots of exclamation points, and blinkie smiles and things----lots of blinkie smileys. I mean, what better way to give credibility to your argument that somebody is pregnant with the Anti Christ than to use twenty blinkies?

I was just sitting there, thinking I needed a new sig, and not two clicks later, ginmar delivered.

The discussion about Romance novels in the Psychotic Fans thread is so hysterical, I cannot narrow it down to one quote. It demands to be read.

Oh, thanks, putli bai! I just ran across you somewhere else and noticed.

lurker34 and Raksha, talking about a possible Scientology intervention for Britney Spears:

Maybe Tom should go save her...after all, 'it's the duty of EVERY clam to do so' and TC is fucking Batman.

Dude, don't let Tiny Tom's lawyers hear you say he's fucking Batman. You know how litigious they are about gay rumors.

I think the gay rumors would only apply if they called him Batboy. And even then that implies that he pitches, not catches, so to speak.

I need to get a life, stat.

Okay, Charishawk has Britney figured out, and she provides mathematical proof via a series of, er, syllo-jisms.

I've finally figured out Britney's Genius Master Plan, everyone. Now, this gets complicated, so bear with me while I tell you what was going through Britney's mind when she decided to date Adnan and then Felipe:

1. Celebrities get mobbed by paparazzi.
2. I am a celebrity, getting mobbed by paparazzi.
3. How can I stop the paparazzi?
4. Paparazzi like mystery and revealing secrets about celebrities.
5. Celebrities with no mysteries and no secrets are boring to paparazzi.
6. Paparazzi leave these boring celebrities alone.
7. If I reveal all of my secrets to each and every paparazzi, I will eventually become boring to them.
8. Therefore, if I spend significant time with, date, and/or sleep with every single paparazzi, telling them my secrets and sharing things like my gross weave with them, they will all get bored with me and leave me alone.
9. I AM BRILLIANT, Y'ALL!

She is a twisted genius, everyone. I have proven it.

Yes, yes, you have. Respect.
