ME!

To be fair - JK Rowling wrote much if not all of the script(s) for this - so it won't be as bad as Peter Jackson forcing in extraneous work into the Hobbit (I hope)

I mean I was a little surprised that he talked about how intense and involved he got when making his ramen but then followed it up with using the 99¢ packet of ramen. I mean not to say that I don't enjoy those packets of ramen - but if I am going to go ahead and try to make really good ramen I'm going to take the…

Have you read Down and Out In London and Paris by Orwell? Its of a similar non-fiction slant as Homage but regarding the lower classes in London and Paris. Quite enjoyable.

That literally sounds nothing like Jiro Dreams of Sushi - outside of an apparent reference that you reference. I mean I shouldn't be surprised at your ability to segue into non-sequiturs as if it was how everyone conversed.

Just finished a reread of that the other day - just as stupendous as the first time around

Wow… I can't believe that I didn't remember that.

Wait? What? - What movie? And what's the term, I generally try to avoid MRA forums

Ah the internet - where subtlety and sarcasm go to die.

I am really confused by where this conversation has ended up and feel a little uncomfortable now…

Since when do people like Watto?

Haha - It wasn't meant as a direct threat at Thor 2, though I didn't enjoy as much as some of the other movies. I suggested it because its getting close to the last chance you have for a nap before you get too close to Age of Ultron. And I liked Guardians & Winter Soldier better than Thor 2. But obviously feel free to…

This is also a theater that did a complete showing of all the Middle Earth movies leading up to the last Hobbit with themed meals including drinks. You can check it out here, not quite as crazy as the 11 movie Marvel marathon but given the length of the Peter Jackson movies its probably close.

They did this in Austin but at the local Alamo Drafthouse which serves actual food - including healthy options and surprisingly a vegan menu (I mean its Austin). Also it sells alcohol which means that you could have a bourbon fuelled nap in the middle of Thor: The Dark World.

I was thinking of mostly current artists. I would say that Pearl Jam & Pink Floyd fall under the Radiohead rule. Modest Mouse is clearly in Death Cab territory, even if you like their new stuff I don't know many people who prefer it to their old stuff. I haven't heard enough Tool to comment on their consistency. And I…

I was talking about this phenomenon with my friend the other night (where most bands eventually see some sort of drop off in their work after a number of albums) and outside of Radiohead (who I don't think should count because they are a once in a generation band) we could only come up with The National as a band who…

How the hell'd we get here?

You like We Were Dead more than Good News? Interesting.

I used to think that Good News was the "sell-out" record when I was younger and more naive but now I really appreciate it and all it has to offer. Bukowski, Bury Me With It, Black Cadillacs, The View, One Chance. While I don't think that they are "sell-outs" anymore I don't really like We Were Dead… It was just a…

god if I have to die, you will have to die!
