Not to bring the thread down, but my brother just had a son who only lived four days (came out at 27 weeks, never had a chance). But, I immediately thought of that monologue as I was breaking down at the news.

It's actually showing in a local small theater next week (the Brattle, in Cambridge, MA, if anyone local is interested). I'm seriously considering making the school-night jaunt into town to see it.

I made it through most of the comments, but not all, so I apologize if someone DID mention these.

Torii Wolf's "1st" (as well as the remix with Dilated Peoples) certainly got a lot of play from me this year. Cannot wait for the album.

I will confirm. It's good. Borderline great.

I loved that Frightened Rabbit record, and was sure it was getting overlooked this year. Thanks for stepping up!

Good looks with the Czarface.

And, if I have my memory correct, I believe I saw At The Drive-In open for Jimmy Eat World when Clarity was out about 15 years ago. That should probably be fact-checked, though.

There was a spell where I saw Incubus 4 times in about 19 months, continually opening for bands I really liked. Not the best run, except for the one heckler who was relentless on the singer - my two favorites were his yelling of "Shut the fuck up, Mark McGrath!" and "Put the shirt back on, Soloflex!" during those…

One. Two-HOOO. Thrreee. *crunch*.
Three.

Anytime something has a timeframe of 15 minutes, we turn into the Caan/Affleck hotel employees kicking out the V.U.P in Thirteen.

If the "Last Chance Balloons" t-shirt were commercially available, I'd buy one.

We hadn't even gotten to the terms.

These are the movies (with House Party 3 - yeah, I said it) that make me miss Bernie Mac the most.
Ideally speaking, we should wear gloves when we go to bed.

I have a lot of Samsung products, which leads to constant references to "He used to bowl with the owner of Samsung."

And none of them knew who was on the $100 bill.

I really think Pacino phoned this one in.
But CINQO! DIAMANTES! is a great delivery.

And you can drop him like 3rd* period French.

These movies are incredibly quotable, and that goes a long way.

I also love 12 more than most. My wife had the Laser Field song as her ringtone for a long time.
