I read it on Snopes, and it's based on anecdotes (divorce attorneys say they get the most business in Jan and Feb), but it seems to make sense. Winter encourages dimmer moods. In November and December, holiday get-togethers may encourage couples from holding off on the break up until after Christmas is over. …

It's that time of year. Although it's been said that most break ups occur in January, December has a nicer ring to it.

Or they moved on to, well, see Hyden's Seether review last week.

It's not because it was gross, it just seemed very out of place in this movie. There's nothing wrong with women behaving badly in movies, but it doesn't work if it seems like it was stuffed in because the execs thought, "Hey we need more broad comedy!"

Eh, meant to cut off that last redundant part of the last sentence of the first paragraph. That's why I never went into journalism, I hate editing.

In college, I used to write for the entertainment desk of the student paper. Reading Murray's discussion of the difficulties of interviewing artists- the dilemma of finding original questions, the pecking order of publications (college papers being at the bottom), the difficulty in gaining real insight in a matter of…

Yeah, that's why on this site, I found some of the more interesting interviews involve veteran actors, especially the random roles.

Although that makes for an interesting interview. Often with celebrity interviews, especially those that are timed for the publicity circuit pending a major release, you get a lot pleasantries about how so-and-so was great to work with. The dirt is usually more entertaining.

As stated, what this music lacks is any sense of fun. Hair metal was silly, but fun. Corny 70s classic rock was fun. Even grunge was fun. This moapy, sludgy, whiny, droning form of rock is not fun. I think this really is the worst form of pop music out there right now. It just sucks.

I wasn't alive during the era, but this is partly why I found it strange that they were apparently the quintessential target of punks. I read some story of how John Lydon bought a Pink Floyd shirt and wrote "I hate" on it. The band seemed too abstract and thoughtful, and they echoed the kind of alienation of punk…

edit: "what or how inane the statement."

Not having listened to the album in depth, that was my impression of the Nazi imagery in the film. At these shows, it's often difficult to even discern what the singer is saying during the in-between song banter, but the audience will cheer, anyways. No matter what inane the statement.

You're pregnant, so I punched you in the stomach.

The prior scene also had other good lines:

Wire staff must have been fans. They also played "Gypsy Woman" when Omar and Donnie are sitting in the car staking out the apartment.

I first heard the song when they played in the background of "Bend it Like Beckham" during the training scenes, and I almost said aloud in theater, "What song is this, this music's awesome." That got me into Mayfield. "Move On Up" is a great running song.

I actually thought that BSG, at least in terms of the characters' actions, was more willing to embrace a realpolitick view of political/military necessity in using torture and ignoring civil liberties and human (Cylon?) rights, although it dwelled on the implications. Roslin and Adama were both fine with destroying…

Well, two packs a day is normal for some smokers. I can't smoke that constantly, especially without alcohol.

Prescription drug ads
Of course the thing about these ads is that they seem ridiculous now, due to the apparently mandatory warnings concerning side effects that the announcer divulges, often times at length, at the tail end of these ads. You see beautiful green fields, contented individuals suddenly able to enjoy…
