absolutely true conversation

saw van helsing with cmshaw this evening. the_emu is correct that those who say it's crap were watching it wrong. set your High Camp filter to Maximum, and enjoy.

afterward, C and i had this conversation, verbatim:

cmshaw: that guy, carl -- he reminded me of someone, when his hair was all wet and down in his face. [hair-in-face hand gestures]
darthfox: [pause to allow C chance to be kidding] faramir?
cmshaw: that's it!
darthfox: [pause to allow C chance to be kidding] you know why.
cmshaw: [absolutely un-ironic pause] same nose?
darthfox: [incredulous pause] same fucking actor.

this really happened.

cmshaw: no it wasn't!
darthfox: it was.
cmshaw: no it wasn't!
darthfox: fine, it wasn't. look it up when you get home.
cmshaw: was it really?

your friend and mine. [pats cmshaw on the head]
