Extra Hot Great

I watched far more "Ally McBeal" than the average 8th grade male. I thought (or hoped?) that's what having a job would be like.

One of my favorite scenes in the pilot for the IT Crowd is Jen getting a tour of the office and they go into a restroom and see this couple making out.  Jen says "oooh unisex toilets. Just like Ally McBeal!" hee. I'm sorry you were inevitably let down by the more mundane offices of the regular world! :D

I can say with certainty that "bitch" was uttered on Dynasty before L.A. Law, because I remember Alexis Carrington Colby slapping her daughter (played by a terrible British actress IIRC) and shrieking "You bitch!" because the daughter went public with her parentage, and I was jaw-droppingly, silent-movie-reactive scandalized that they said "bitch" on TV.

Peggy Carter and Jarvis from Agent Carter for sure, and Sherlock and Joan Watson from Elementary. I liked Emily and Nolan from Revenge as well, although that show went off the rails after a couple of seasons. I always liked Veronica Mars and Wallace. I'm liking Liv and Ravi from iZombie so far. Fitz and Simmons from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. started off great, and then the writers decided to go the unrequited love route, which pissed me off.

Oh wow. Excellent.

 

Right to episode 13 for me.  Because, of course that's what I would do. 

 

And I'm just 19 minutes in and would like to say that I agree with Tara that it probably is the best episode of The Simpsons and with Dave that my favorite part of the whole Duff Gardens thing was Homer's defense of the sandwich.  "Six more feet and I can fit it in the fridge!" leaves my mouth every time I see a giant sandwich.

 

Every. Time.

Jaws.

I swear the last time it was on I think I came in like 20 minutes from the end and STILL had to sit and watch. Always this one. :D

Interestingly since we killed cable I have to seek out my poppy field movies. I can't just stumble on them like when you are flipping channels. I have two that basically live in my dvd player "Sense & Sensibility" and "Pride & Prejudice" (the Keira Knightly version - don't HATE! I have them all. Colin Firth is just too long for laundry folding)

I have to second Miss Congeniality - which I saw for the first time last weekend when it was playing on my local CW affiliate. I'd avoided it through the years because I knew it was going to be dumb, and even though it was exactly as terrible as I thought, I couldn't stop watching. And if the station had pulled a TBS and started it up again immediately after it ended? I would definitely have watched it again.

When Harry Met Sally and You've Got Mail.

 

The first one speaks for itself.  The second one isn't very good but they're both pretty New York City porn.  I still want to walk around the upper East Side in the autumn and eat because my day job is just an excuse to hang with my girlfriends.  I guess that's why I can never pass up a Sex & the City marathon either...

Ladies of the 80s: Working Girl, Baby Boom, and Overboard. Do all of them contain weirdly retrograde gender norms to one degree or another? Of course! Do women fall in love with men after they take advantage of moments of mental disorientation in all three films? Sure do! Do I ignore these issues and break out the popcorn every time those movies are on? Absolutely.

Veronica and Wallace above all others, for me. But a few others I love and haven't seen mentioned are Nikita and Berkhoff from the CW Nikita, Starbuck and Helo on BSG, and Mary and Branson on Downton Abbey. I think something I liked about those dynamics is that the women are sort of your "strong female character" types, who have tons of stress and drama and emotions running high elsewhere in their lives, and the guys (who may also have that stuff going on in their lives) provide a grounding presence for them, a feeling of ease and comfort. The friendships are (generally speaking) drama-free, just mutually supportive and positive, and I like all the characters more because of those relationships.

Lindsey I started hearing Let the River Run immediately. :D I love that one too.

Miss Congeniality, Clue, Dead Again, The "Burbs ... and for whatever reason Judgement At Nuremburg

OH! B. Broderick Woman Scorned I and II and Jumpin' Jack Flash. Both have gross kiddie toucher Stephen Collins and I thought that might ruin them ... but honestly it adds a whole new demension to Broderick... I root for her now.

YES to Dead Again. So so good, no matter where you start. Man I love that movie. 

 

All the HP weekend folks, I saw this today and it made me snort coffee from laughing. :D
