I sit here in the thunder, the green on the grey

Me: I should rewatch Sense and Sensibility (1995). It might pair illuminatingly with Persuasion (1995); I haven't seen it in nine years and I've never written about it; I saw it for the first time in 1996 with someone who didn't like it. That was a point in my life when I saw very few movies and did not think critically about them if I did. Those can be interesting to revisit.

*half an hour of movie later*

My critical faculties: FUCK, Alan Rickman is BEAUTIFUL.

Ladies and gentlepeople, that may be the review.

The friend I was talking to googled "alan rickman smile" and we discovered that (unsurprisingly) I was not the first to think of this -- or, at least, there were a couple of YouTube videos that were montages of Alan RIckman smiling. A quick check shows they're still there.

I am charmed to hear that. He has a very nice smile when you get to see it.

(Punchline: this trick does not work for finding montages of Paul Gross acting with his tongue, though goodness knows someone must have made some.)

Okay, I am actually surprised about that. It seems like the sort of thing YouTube was made for!

I'm sure it's on YouTube somewhere, but when your search keywords include "gross" and "tongue"... :>

Ah, yes. Yikes.
