Aug. 20th, 2004 12:30 amHoly cats. The Worst Witch comes out on DVD next week! How did I miss that? It must be mine! Aw, no extras, though. How great would it be to have Fairuza Balk and Tim Curry doing a commentary? Heh. Alas for the lost opportunity. Now all we need is a release of Teen Witch.
Anyway, quotage. From the ever effervescent Dara Moskowitz, reviewing the Wilde Roast Cafe of Minneapolis:
Because if Oscar Wilde had been born 50 years later than he was, he'd probably just have lived in the successful but haunted style of Truman Capote. If he'd been born 100 years later he'd probably have had his own cable channel. And if he'd been born 500 years later he'd probably head his own nation-state on the moon.
I do so like Dara. This is from a review of a pizza place. Admittedly a pizza place where the delivery folks dress up like superheroes, but even so:
And this, this I think is the true marvel of Galactic Pizza: Just when you think you can't write one more story about organic food because of all the holier-than-thou nit-picking ninnies that shimmer up from the depths, just when you think you could pick up the newspaper and read, "Bush, Cheney sucking blood from infants for deferred Halliburton pension" and not blink an eye, just when you think the future is almost surely going to be about President Schwarzenegger and the international private prison cartels, then--just then--kids rush in in playful outfits full of hope, and life seems less bleak and more full of options.
Hm, maybe I'll leave this frozen north for that frozen north. Sounds a lot more interesting.
