THANK YOU Joss!

This is one of the best things I've read in a long time:

It has to be said: the Andrew scene in "The Girl in Question" was a victim of me dropping the ball. I specifically said there should be a party of men AND women, all glamorous and Italian, waiting for Andrew. I wasn't there when it was shot, and didn't have the time/money/energy to change it after the fact, though it made me crazy.

Andrew's sexuality is always on the cusp of self-awareness because Andrew is stunted emotionally and because it's hilarious.

[Side-note: The "people change" thing is a hold-over from the fact that the scene was originally written for Dawn (but Michelle turned us down). The idea was, there's little Dawn, then in the last scene there's hot grown-up Dawn going out on the town, a heavy visual support of people changing (since Spike and Angel always see her as older brothers do). But Tommy made it his own, 'cause he's Tommy.]

Oh, and speaking of Tommy, re: Buckaroo? Perfect Tommy was probably gay. How the girls did squeal, but that wonderful matching shirt and vest? Yeah. One man's opinion.

Thanks Joss with you.

But who the hell is Tommy?

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Tommy Lenk?

What BGF said. Dunno what the whole Buckaroo thing is though.

[ruuger]

I think he's talking about Perfect Tommy from Buckaroo Banzai.

Oh - a computer game?

No. A SciFi movie from the 80s. In fact the ultimate geek movie. If you're a geek you have probably quoted this movie at some point in your life.

Oh well, I'm obviously not a geek, then. Probably too old, or something.

Well I did use a qualifier so there's room for exceptions. And I *am* presenting anecdata. *grin* Let's use the back up test. Have you ever quoted Monty Python? If so, you still qualify for geekdom. If you've ever memorized the parrot sketch you may as well buy a pocket protector now.

Of course, if you've ever called someone a monkeyboy you've unknowingly quoted BB.

My favorite quote is "No matter where you go, there you are." It's probably my most often used quote.

Yes! :air punches: I am a geek!

I was actually thinking of giving my LJ a title, which would be My Fandom's Not Dead, It's Resting, but in fact currently it's quite active so it didn't seem appropriate. Geeky, though.

[ladypeyton.livejournal.com]

Definitely geeky. *grin*
