Hearts and Bones is DEFINITELY a divorce-driven album. What a fucking downer. Pretty, but hard to listen to. My dad had it on heavy rotation after my parents got divorced but I was too young to connect the dots. (In his defense, it's not like he suddenly started liking Simon only after the divorce - he just wasn't…

I really liked Happiness, but I can understand why someone wouldn't without thinking he or she was a philistine or anything. It's a squirmingly unpleasant film. What saves it for me, as hatin notes, is that it's very funny. It's probably the only feature film featuring a pedophile (that I've heard of, though my…

Frito, you hit the nail on the head with the e-surance reference. I knew exactly what ad you were talking about right away, and you are so right.

I hate his standup (the bumpers of him performing in some Seinfeld episodes are incredibly painful), but enjoy the show a lot. Jerry seemed to understand his limitations and didn't try to act, which is good, because he is a terrible actor. Julia Louis-Dryfuss and Jason Alexander more than made up for his lack of…

I hate Katy Perry, but so does everyone else, apparently. (Just who DOES like her? I've never met anyone who admitted to enjoying her music.)

I hate everyone on Entourage. I've only seen one episode and the only one I know by name is Piven, but they're all gross and smug and I know that's the point but it doesn't make me want to sit through an episode.

This would make a good topic, I think. I'm getting a big kick out of reading everyone's apoplectic ragers about the entertainer they hate.

I agree. I busted out laughing when the image finished loading on my slow-ass work computer. It looks like he's doing that "does this bug you? I'm not touching you! na na na" thing my brother and I did to each other on long car trips.

Actually, yeah! The bluesman who sold his soul to the devil? I was just talking about him last night because I was reading old Achewood and he turns up in a couple of strips.
It is starting to sound like I have watched every episode of every TV show ever.

I watched Conan at 1am, and I'll watch him at 11:30. I don't like Leno and his show was never appealing to me anyway. Conan's skits are funnier, he's a better host, and his "second-tier" guests are often more awesome than bony boring old Angelina or Jennifer Garner anyway.

Kyle wins for the "Red" reference, which I'm somewhat ashamed to say I recognized right away.
There are so many empty pop culture references rattling around in my head it's a wonder I can remember things I actually need to know.

City Confidential was good but occasionally frustrating, because they spent the first 20 minutes of the program talking about, well, the city before they got to the crime in question. It's the theme of the show but it does get a little dull. However, in the Pro column, the old (dead) narrator Paul Winfield was awesome.
…

YES! In fact, I did. And the murderer herself had some hilariously inappropriate usernames too. I can't remember exactly, but they were like "HornyLady" and "Skank4You" and they totally made me laugh when I was supposed to be sad over murder and stuff.

Sorry, sorry. I just love Mr. Show SO MUCH [sobbing]
I didn't mean to threadjack. Well, I did, but I didn't mean to have OTP murder me over it. Snapped is a wonderfully terrible show, by the way. I love to hate that they always spin the story as if the lady murderer were some tragic victim, even when she's clearly a…

I'm stuck with IE at work and can't make a new thread. However, the Mr. Show dork in me feels compelled to mention that it wasn't Blueberryhead who was encouraged to "riff" while filling in for Bob - it was Kedzie Matthews. Blueberryhead pops up and does his annoying work in a few other places, but it's beloved…

SHASTA MCNASTY

ugh
Good lord, do I hate Bono

I agree, hot dog - most of the time I start with the lowest graded-reviews because I love reading rants about crappy films, and the comments are always lively.

Please tell me why I will ALWAYS laugh at an "It's-a me, Mario!" joke. Also, "I'm Wario. I'm-a gonna win."

I still have a myspace but rarely use it these days. As others have said, it's just something you outgrow, I guess. Most of the people I actually talk to are over on Facebook, where I don't get friend requests from camwhores and spammers, and I don't have to navigate past 4,500 "HIT OSAMA WITH THE BOXING GLOVE AND WIN…
