I think the most flagrant liberal subtext on Friends

Favourite utterly inexplicable bits from xXx:

SAMUEL L JACKSON'S CHARACTER WAS CALLED AUGUSTUS GIBBONS!

xXx - the xXxening
He damn sure better return for that.

The first episode that had a weird/off feel for me was the episode where the Simpsons go to New York, but I think the episode where Homer becomes the sanitation commissioner is where the rot properly started to set in.

Also, do all the secondary school students really have Cascada on their iPods? I thought only 32 year old estate agents listened to eurotrance these days.

How dare you, Pass Out is amazing.

Well
I think we've all learned an important lesson about tolerance today.

Don't really get the "Rabin's a writer, he makes upwards of 24 grand a year so he deserves to get told how he should fuck off because I didn't like this article"

1. THOU SHALT ALWAYS WEAR TWEED. No other fabric says so defiantly: I am a man of panache, savoir-faire and devil-may-care, and I will not be served Continental lager beer under any circumstances.

Witless movies that think they're smart
I have been to see, and enjoyed, some terrible movies. Death Race 2000, AvP2, Rush Hour 3. And even though they were diabolical, they were still pretty fun to watch. Rush Hour 3 is probably actually the worst film I've ever seen, but it was still pretty fun to sit in a cinema…

It was published, man! I'll have you know that it's widely regarded as the best Israel clean energy venture capital article my local church magazine has ever seen.

Wonder if this
has anything to do with her husband, Dan Senor? He was backed by some pretty high-profile republicans to join the New York senate race, and having a tv anchor wife would have been a big conflict of interest.

I used to hate him man, but he's just worn me down. Dude's really funny. Not in his stand-up comedy though, oddly.

And immediately follow it with: "I love Oasis. I love them. I think that what they do is earnest. I think it's honest."

Electronic music has been integrated way more into mainstream music than it was though. There haven't been many dance tracks making it to the top of the charts, but electronica's everywhere, in terms of the sound of stuff that is charting. Same in indie too.

Her dad was a Tamil revolutionary who trained with the PLO, but I'm not sure if she has any direct links with the tigers.

On books of failed enterprises
I came across a book by Joe Queenan in a second hand bookstore in Belgium called The Unkindest Cut, which is well worth checking out if you can find it anywhere.
