By Master B's standards, Keanu Reeves, Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp seem to be 'old' people...

Well, technically, they are.
I think it's easy to forget that movie stars AGE.
Mmm. All three are, indeed, gorgeous men...by the way...

Hmm...Ekki's paste buffer appears to be living in a poor 70s sitcom.

OK, Ekki's may be in the 70s.
I've just been shuffling my SIMcards, and found this outgoing message:
"So is Ken Branagh going to be Gilderoy Lockhart in the new HP then?"
which dates it rather accurately.

A peculiar news story, picked up from www.neilgaiman.com for some reason...
David - finally able to post to this thread. Tried once before and found that I would have been pasting some personal info about a colleague (including their home e-mail address!)

6. Near the end of Life of Pi, Pi and Richard Parker come ashore on a free-floating island comprised entirely of algae and inhabited only by many, many meerkats. Why does Pi decide to leave the island? What is the significance of this story? Is there a difference between survival and life?

If you knew how I long
For you now that you're gone
You'd grow wings and fly
Home to me
Home tonight
And in the morning sun
Let's pretend we're bunny rabbits
Let's do it all day long
Let abbots, Babbitts and Cabots
Say Mother Nature's wrong
And when we've had a couple'a'beers
We'll put on bunny suits
I long to nibble your ears
And do as bunnies do
Let's pretend we're bunny rabbits
Let's do it all day long
Rapidly becoming rabid
Singing little rabbit songs
I can keep it up all night
I can keep it up all day
Let's pretend we're bunny rabbits
Until we pass away
Hmm! I see my daughter has been having fun!
Incog.

Was I the only person here quoted? Does that make me famous?
It didn't really have a name, and was like the inner workings of a computer. The core, the software, the wires, the lights, the exterior. He received snatches of information, overheard conversations. Occasionally someone talked to him, told him a few things, but really, he was out there on his own. And he was completely out of his depths.

Firefly, as it's been mentioned over and over again, is not teen material...it's adult material...and then some. And since others have gone to the trouble to describe the plot and point out there are graphic scenes regarding child abuse...let me clarify that for you: the scene in question involves a child (under 10) having sex with an adult male (30's). This scene is not written from the perspective of a horrible thing having happened. And it is not just "graphic," it is explicit down to every last detail of the encounter and horrifyingly enough, it is written from the viewpoint of eroticism. Anthony shallowly does his little disclaimer saying that this child didn't understand love in any other way...but we're to see these two as a couple tragically seperated. We're to see the child as a lusty nymphomaniac who talked the adult into the situation and instigates it. It might be said I'm missing the point that Anthony was trying to make -that the child's perspective was damaged by abuse into equating all things sexual with love - but if there was a good "cause" there, he blew it by writing it out like a [poor quality] story in penthouse letters. It comes across as though we're to see molestation from a different perspective...that the child might instigate it and that sometimes it's "not the adult's fault, after all, he did ask her if she was 'sure.'"
Hmm. I was copying & pasting parts of that from Amazon to use in another conversation...
