random quotes ... to amuse, inspire, enrage:
  Mulder: I'm familiar with porphyria. It's an affliction that causes lesions and blisters when skin is exposed to sunlight -- not fourth degree burns. Sufferers may have a haema deficiency which can be supplemented by a small ingestion of blood -- not the kind of blood-thirst that this man had. It's probably ignorance of proferia as a disease that led to the creation of vampire myths in Asia in the middle ages. ... I had dismissed the possibility of the actual existence of such a creature as myth.
Dr Browning: You are really upsetting me... on several levels.

The film adaptation of Philip Pullman’s “His Dark Materials” is being edited to “remove references to God and the church.” Apparently Pullman is understanding, and recognizes that “You have to recognise that it is a challenge in the climate of Bush’s America.”

The book is all about “God and the church.” If they cut that out, then what the hell are they making the movie about? New Line, New Line … thank you for making LOTR into three films instead of two, but WTF are you doing?
