Quotes / Eye Take

As is so often the case with Shoe, the eyes really tell the story here. Roz’s are bugged out in panic, of course, as she watches her life’s work and only source of income literally going up in smoke. The Perfesser is experiencing sympathetic shock in panel one, but by panel two has already wound down to his typical heavy-lidded ennui. He’s realized he’s got to die somewhere and somehow, so it might as well be here, where he’s wasted so much of his life, via smoke inhalation.

Booger stole every scene in Revenge of the Nerds, but his greatest performance was at the Lambda Lambda Lambda fraternity party. Booger opens the door for the Omega Mu sorority girls and a parade of homely beasts march past him. His disappointment looks so real that half of them cried when the director called cut.

On Friday night, The Late Late Show hosted a debate between the YES side (the people who want marriage equality in Ireland to happen) and the NO side...While watching the clip, my eyes and ears stopped paying attention to the No lady in the blue blazer, because all of my attention went to the lady with the gorgeous cleaver-shaped brows whose face took us on a short journey of emotions that inevitably ended at FacePalmville. In just a few seconds, she goes from “errr” to “huh?” to “what the fuck?” to a full blown “WHAT?” and when her nerves are on the verge of completely splitting in two and she can’t take it anymore, her face meets palm. It’s a beautiful and graceful facepalm ballet.
