EXACTLY.<br /><br />Morgan: re: <i>Oh don't get me wrong, she's a lovely gal.</i> I wasn't speaking about your Squeeze, Morgan. I meant I can't relate to MOVIES. They're all crap, in my humble. I know what Netflix is as a cultural phenomenon but I've never touched a Red Envelope, nor will I. I've been in a theatre exactly twice in the last ten years, once to see "Miracle" (wanna guess why?) and once to see some Nicholson farce, after which I regretted spending the money.<br /><br />Lou: The conflict you mention is certainly possible. And I see a LOT of Miss Kitty in you.<br /><br />Seattle Andy: I think Lileks is a National Treasure.

Just not very good at it.<br /><br />Lileks must be just about the single biggest source of nostalgic cool on the internet. All of his little matchbook and motel and postcard sides streets are great.

I love the way Riggs swoops her hair back from her face before pointing her gun - very sexy.

But still a gal. You know, they put in these long hard days at work...which the Good Lord didn't design 'em for in the first place...and if it's a shitty day for her, and she sees a big stack of red envelopes and tears them open and they're all "Rockford Files" and "Ichi The Killer" -- it puts any ol' lady in the kind of mood, like, the world's out to get her. And you know how things go from there. Not going to work out for her fella.<br /><br /><b>Dapper Dan</b>, what YOU said about the Avengers movie. Blegh.

The disastrous film remake in the late 90's illustrates how today's film/tv creators have no clue about what makes something like that work. "Class" is incomprehensible to them.

So we're pretty much up to our earlobes in The Avengers here. She likes it, and I see it very much the same way as good clean stupid fun.<br /><br />Women. You can't get 'em to edit the queue, or even sit down to help you do it, but they love to bitch up a storm when those red envelopes show up in the mail and <a href="http://www.peekinthewell.net/blog/i-made-a-new-word-xiv/" rel="nofollow">your ass is grass</a>.<br /><br />God bless The Avengers.
