“I don’t mean to be rude –” he began, in a tone that threatened rudeness in every syllable.
“– yet, sadly, accidental rudeness occurs alarmingly often,” Dumbledore finished the sentence gravely. “Best to say nothing at all, my dear man.”

Cordelia: The Bronze. It’s the only club worth going to around here. They let anybody in, but it’s still the scene. It’s in the bad part of town.
Buffy: Where’s that?
Cordelia: About a half a block from the good part of town. We don’t have a whole lot of town here.

Shyness is a curious thing, because, like quicksand, it can strike people at any time, and also, like quicksand, it usually makes its victims look down.

Welcome to “Trailer Tuesday” where I talk about trailers for upcoming movies, since I’ve always found them to be fascinating.
We’ve gotten what will probably be the final trailer for Maleficent, now that the film is just two months away, and this final trailer goes deeper into the story we’re going to see, while giving us some new looks as well. The first trailer mostly focused on the film’s imagery, while telling us little about the movie itself. The second trailer gave us a bit more, while highlighting the parallels between Maleficent and Sleeping Beauty. But this final trailer is the one that for the first time has lead me to being genuinely excited about the film, beyond the curiosity that had held my interest thus far, though I fully admit that it may just be the dragon that’s gotten my attention. Take a look below, and read on for my breakdown of the trailer:
“Judging by your look of stunned disbelief, Harry did not warn you that I was coming,” said Dumbledore pleasantly. “However, let us assume that you have invited me warmly into your house.”

Xander: Well, uh, maybe I’ll see you around… maybe at school… since we… both… go there.

There is a loud clink! noise that a sword makes when it hits another sword–or, in this case, a tooth–and whenever I hear it I am reminded of a swordfight I was forced to have with a television repairman not long ago.

Jadzia Dax: If I were in your shoes, I would be looking for someone a little more entertaining, a little more fun and maybe even a little more attainable.
Worf: You are not in my shoes.
Jadzia Dax: Too bad. You’d be amazed at what I can do in a pair of size 18 boots.
