Yeah, Steve Dallas is also an unrepentant jerk, ruses are not exactly his style.

Ahahahaha you fools, @Scrawler2:disqus and @avclub-6258e285eeb51b21d01ffe9cb9f9c1d1:disqus ! Journalists are meant to be poor, further degrees mean nothing! Although it does make it easier for you guys to teach, and thus create more poor journalists.

"until he falls through a hole and gets mistaken as the “Special” meant to fulfill a prophecy and stop an evil mastermind"

@avclub-0ae7484a9f3bbd2a21df420050c032ae:disqus seriously, this whole thread is just marking time until Kyle Chandler comes over and kicks @avclub-e57f718840a576abbb40a7d046c4e3b0:disqus 's ass.

Also, this biopic better have extensive coverage of James Brown's Celebrity Hot Tub or no sale.

"The cold sweat has apparently not affected the funk harvest…"

@avclub-26be735080c109e08f5081b9adef306f:disqus is so articulate!

"She devotes herself deeply to a fantasy ideal democracy and
its honorable principles but belittles the people who constitute that
democracy."

"But there is zero suspense here, even though this prequel story has
been waiting to be told for 25 years. We know how it ends, more or less,
and that zaps some of the forward momentum of the narrative."

The opposite of Destruction is Creation, right? I'm envisioning a series of stories where Destruction has continued to forsake his namesake, refusing to use guns, for example. But because the rest of the world doesn't play by those rules, he's routinely forced to use his creative capabilities to the utmost, forging…

Yep, great interview (although, as noted above, a dippy headline). Loved the detail that if the band is lame the interpreters have to reflect the lameness. More Expert Witness please!

Good lord, the Meese Commission is getting a TV show? Perhaps we can find time for a PMRC sitcom, slap a mustache and goatee on that guy who plays Jean-Ralphio and he could be Frank Zappa.

I looooooooooove Eyeball In My Martini. Lux goes full-on Trashmen, "EYEBALLEYEBALLEYEBALLEYEBALLEYEBALLSEVERYWHERE!"

Damn, that is a great way of putting it. I love the Birthday Party but I'd be wary of hanging out with Cave, Lux's gibberings were crazy but a lot less deranged.

But like Bucky says, the setting is great and I like the feel of it, going back to a B-movie tone. Also, the kindergarten class scene is wonderfully chilling.

I'm having a lot of fun speculating why this was downvoted. Anger at spoilers? Disagreement with the causality argument of anus-poking/ejaculation? Sheer repulsion at the description of a "winking anus?" Lots of possibilities here.

Nice to hear it's a good book, but that title annoys me. Don't tell me your story is "Miraculous" or "Wondrous" or whatever, you sound like a used car salesman. Let the damn story speak for itself. I suppose an exception can be made for "The Incredible Journey."

Ugh, the first period gym class. Nothing like a turn in the school pool to leave you chlorinated and gross for the rest of the day…

Holy crap this looks great.

I, too, saw a dildo. THANKS OBAMA.
