I saw something NASTY in the woodshed...

And now so can everyone else!

I got my used dvd copy of Cold Comfort Farm in the mail today.
(happy dance)

This movie has EVERYTHING.

A ridiculously young Kate Beckinsale
Joanna Lumley as her snarky friend (and mostly a cameo, really)
Count Adamar as Hunky Farmhand #1 (Seth)
Ian Mckellon spewing fire-and-brimstone AND screaming "FORNICATORS!!" at Stephen Fry... who is creeping all the hell over Ridiculously Young Kate Beckinsale...

See where I"m going with this?

"I saw something Nasty In The Woodshed!"
"Yeah, baby, but did it see you?"
"NO, SETH, COME BACK! I'M A DEAD WOMAN!"
"There's always been Starkadders at Cold Comfort Farm."
"Nature's all right in her place, but you mustn't let her make things untidy."
And everyone on the farm calls her "Robert Post's Child". Like, every time.

Watch it before every family reunion or obnoxious wedding. Watch it when you're feeling blue; Stephen Fry will cheer you right the hell up. Watch it when you've had just about enough of that one person's bizarre passive-agressive behavior.

Watch it for no reason. It's an awesome film.
I ought to pick up the novel as well.


Sometime soon, be warned that I'll put the word out that we're all going to see something Nasty In The Woodshed. I'll make popcorn. It will be grand.

Zombie Apocolypse

Thing Two just commented that she doesn't hear anything going on in the rest of the house. Between her air purifier, fan, and her own music she rarely hears anything.

"There could be a Zombie Apocolypse happening out there and I'd never know about it." She said.

"Oh, sweetie. If there was a Zombie Apocolypse, I'd come and get you."

Smile.

"Because I'd want to let you know that we were making a run for it, or if we were bunkering down, and that way we'd get you and the cats to safety."

Smile.

"Or, you know, if the Zombie Apocolypse happens to me personally, I'm coming right for you. You have two delicious cats back here. And braaaaains...."

Toothy Smile.

"Either way, when the Zombie Apocolypse happens... I'm coming for you. First."
