All I could think was, "So die already!"

It won't close up so you can bleed out without that stupid "self-mend" feature that bodies have.) And please don't die because of a song. There are far better and more noble things to die for. I can't think of them right now, but while you're in that stage of doubt, perhaps you'll rethink the whole "dying" thing.

Unless you're sitting in a bare room with a bomb duct-taped to your chest, and the terrorist is holding the detonator, and if Garbage plays again, you're dust. Should someone call the bomb-squad in whatever city you are?

Comments about dying are NOT a good idea, considering the state of high-alert everywhere lately. I hope that you're still alive and well next time this song comes into rotation. Please post, even if it's only to say you're still alive.

No, I"m not kidding.

 

We miss you so much, Cynaera...

Watched the first two episodes of "Homeland" recently...I don't consider her pretty. There's something about her face that's so wounded and she's very good at playing characters barely holding it together. Maybe she's more visually appealing in real life...

But no, this is the lead singer for Garbage, Shirley Manson.

Fits in well with the film and Shakespeare's play, though. Obsessive, all-consuming love is the central theme of the play, and of course the lovers do literally die for each other.

And no, I don't live in Canada, but I would, if I could.

If I did, I don't remember it. (I would never use a chainsaw - the noise freaks me out.)  I HAVE joked about cutting off my own head, but we both know it was metaphorical.  So - point taken. {#Smile}

Still - thank you for the jolt back into reality. I worry about anyone who threatens to do bodily harm. Better to be worried than totally uncaring.  Sorry - going through a lot right now - FIV-positive cats, other cats who are sick, feral cats invading the neighborhood, total strangers hacking away at our trees because they're growing over power lines... I really hate these invasions of the world I did not invite into my realm.

I think I shall take the next three days off.  If I haven't posted a snarky comment by the 24th, rally up the Mounties (but only the cute ones, okay?) {#Bounce}

Ooo - yet another "La Femme Nikita" classic... This was the song playing while Nikita was scoping out a lavish wedding at which a hit man was scheduled to kill the groom.  She had a clear shot of the hit man, but while she watched the guy take aim, in another place Section One was checking a possible location for a thing called "The Book" which had top-secret information.  If "The Book" was in the vault, Nikita had permission to take out the hit man before he completed his contract.  Alas, "The Book" wasn't there, so Nikita had to stand down and let the hit man kill the groom.  That show was SO ahead of its time... as was the music used throughout...{#Music}

Seriously? Check the wiki link above but it's best known for being Butch Vig's band (producer of Nirvana's Nevermind album).

One of the best live shows I've seen.  They opened for Smashing Pumpkins.  Butch Vig knows what he's doing.

I remember going to this movie with some chic when i was in high school, i remember having a serious crush on Claire Danes after it was over- so this song does remind me of that 17 year old irrational feeling of love....

I know it has nothing to do with the song, but I thought this version of the movie was interesting in that Romeo and Juliet actually lock eyes during their death scene.

I remember it from Canada's movie called Nikita, with Peta Wilson in a leading role...you know "Josephine"...I got so into this song that I started to search it everywhere, back then it was hard to get CD's, but I managed to find a collection CD with alternative grunge hits and this song was on it!!!! Yeeeeeeeeah!
