This expresses eloquently exactly how I feel. This is the sort of perspective that only gets more true each day you live. Expend energy on the things you love. The return is so much greater.

This is such a smart comment, especially that you say "the film is…a story about Congo discovering empathy." I just saw the film and this is a very eloquently put assessment of one aspect of the film.

I would almost never recommend a "best of" compilation for a band I really love, but there is actually a GREAT one for the Replacements called "Don't You Know Who I Think I Was?" It covers pretty much their whole career and definitely includes a lot (but not all) of their best tracks. If you want a proper album, I…

Back when I was in high school my friend and I watched the entirety of Twin Peaks in about a week (his brother had one of those giant VHS box sets), saving the final episode and the movie for Saturday.  Because we were 16 we thought it would be fun to drop a bunch of acid before we watched them, so we did, and it was…

I am currently obsessed with the new National. These two albums/bands couldn't be more different though.

It's more like I've been through that and that movie made me very reflective. One thing that movie got right that I think a lot of people don't get is that it's not like you kick, go through horrible withdrawals, and then a week later everything is ok. That's the easy part. The hard part is walking back through the…

This one is kind of a bummer, but I recently saw the film Olso, August 31 and it basically ruined me because I know exactly how that feels, to be strung out and wondering what exactly the fuck you are going to do with the rest of your life. I think addiction is a hard thing to make people who have never experienced it…

Vampire's Kiss surely gets points for the sheer brilliant insanity of the line readings.

I'll tell you later.

This is certainly one of the most unintentionally homoerotic rap videos ever produced.

When he said something along the lines of "they are a desecration of Mexican food and therefore I support them" it was gold. That guy is incredibly quick on his feet. Any appearance on CBB is a guaranteed must-listen.

If you're 800 pages in and still don't dig it, when it finally does end you're going to through that book through a plate glass window.

I finally finished Luck. What a show. Every performance pops and everything that was confusing or vague at the outset comes together beautifully. While I understand the reasoning, I am quite saddened by its cancellation. One day Milch will be allowed to complete a vision, and that day I expect will be something to…

Totally agree that he has literally never said a single thing of substance.  But I think that as a punchline rapper/often clever dude he comes off pretty well, linguistically speaking.
