Quote of the Day

From Stephanie Zacharek's review of Cold Creek Manor, at Salon.com:

The grand and ghoulish joke of "Cold Creek Manor" is that city folk really should know better than to move to the country. There, as we all know, the happy chirping of crickets is actually a secret code for mobilizing blood-sucking cultists who look like regular people but are all at least 200 years old, the ghosts of disgruntled old ladies burned for witchcraft in 1762, or, in the most disappointing scenario, your average garden-variety family of mass murderers.


To which I say, well obviously! I mean, why even have two-hundred-year-old relatives if you're not going to let them maim and murder city people? And everyone knows that crime is much more extreme in the country. Any old unhappy wife can shoot her husband; how banal. It takes an unhappy farmwife to stab him fifteen times with a pitchfork. City people's lives are that much poorer for the lack of pitchforks.

Ha! Warrick/Greg, huh? Imagine the carnage. I wonder, would Warrick even kiss him before he cut out Greg's tongue to shut him up? Good thing I don't write, I guess.

This?

Is why I love you. So true. So, so true. And this is why all Warrick slash makes NO sense to me.

Rotflmao! This is why I love you. I'm so keeping this quote for future amusement.

(ps, it's not letting me reply to your journal entries again, so I'm putting it here)

I totally don't get why our journals have decided they don't like each other anymore. You can't comment directly on my posts, I can't comment on yours at all (which is annoying as heck)... what's going on? Argh!

I dunno, but it's really annoying! I'm tempted to find a place on LJ to complain, as this seems like quite a glitch in the system. It's just odd that it's only happening to me on your journal.

Yeah, Warrick's just not very slashable. Sexy, sure, but very straight. And even if he had more a workable vibe, Greg would be the absolute last person I'd ever pair him with (well, maybe Hodges). I mean, why ask for pain?

I just can't suspend my disbelief that much.
