Look at all these wonderful people who love NewsRadio! Where were you all in the 90's when all anyone wanted to talk about was Friends and Seinfeld?

I also came to here to write about Triple Triad. Even the "Shuffle or Boogie" theme song was great.

Judy Davis really needs to appear in more things. She was fantastic as Judy Garland.

That's lovely to hear.

Since seeing this headline I've had Armando Iannucci's voice saying the word "Stalin" in my head and I couldn't figure out why. And then I remembered: he did a "lecture" on Stalin for the radio show The Unbelievable Truth! Link: https://www.youtube.com/wat… It happens to be the episode I've listened to the most -

Wonder Boys and Mysteries of Pittsburgh are linked in my mind as his two Pittsburgh books. (Although Mysteries is more from the POV of a student.) They're also more of what some people would consider Literary Fiction while his later books are much more embracing of genre - adventure, mystery, etc…

Have you gotten to "Buridan's Ass" in Fargo yet? That was the episode that tipped the series from Very Good to Stunning for me.

I've been planning to read this anyway but finding out there's a sequel to The Robber Bride has moved it up on my list. Does it include all three women or just focus on one?

That's good to hear. I have a lot of good will towards Pacino both as a actor and as his shambling, charming self. There was a profile by John Lahr in The New Yorker a few months ago where he acknowledges that a lot of his recent film work has been just because he needed the money.

You'll want to finish your Jonathan Strange reread before the BBC series starts airing so you tell everyone what they left out.

How quickly people forget Rory Storm and the Hurricanes…

I have to reach back to my middle school days when I read every L'Engle book I could get my hands on. My memory is that, beyond the second book, there's not enough Meg. They go off in their own directions and, outside of a few characters, have very little in common with Wrinkle as a whole. I remember enjoying them

Sounds alright to me. Eyes of the Dragon is one of my favorites of his.

It's been a while since I've read them but I remember Wolves of the Calla as the tightest of the later books. It did feel like he was rushing on the last few books and I often wonder what he would have done differently if he'd taken more time.

It's really strange to watch how big a deal the fact that Ishiguro's book is a fantasy has become. His books have long played around with genres and I wonder what it means about the status of fantasy books that this is considered such a problem for some people.

That cover of A Wrinkle in Time is giving me a jolt of nostalgia. If the bottom quarter of the cover was torn off, it would be exactly the same as the one I had.

I mourned him more than I mourned Tidus.

It was an accident! He's just very clumsy.

I would totally play a Final Fantasy kart game.

FFX has Auron. How can anyone hate a game that has Auron?
