In st. louis he was combative during the show, but ended up winning me over… The thing is, as prickish as he can be on stage, afterwards, talking to people, he's always polite, and he'll really listen. So he's true to his word.

agreed, he's my favorite part of the show

No, I think it's more like if you had done some stand-up, had been a hit with other standups, and say, if paul f. tompkins was putting on a show at the ucb,and asked you to perform… you wanna do it b/c your respect him, and you believe he'll put on a classy show with a good audience. You've decided it's not dealing…

Spinner, I think it can do that with artists, but I think he's also hopes it does something even if your not an artist. For example, I know that after I heard Wilco's On and On, it made me think about how I think about death, and made me actually just talk to my dad about his past… though, contrary to his point about…

I just went to the St. Louis stop a few days ago, and the show is amazing. Jim White from the dirty three is on drums, and adds so much to the music. Every member of the band stands out at different parts of the show. He even made a Lost reference on stage, which is nice to hear from a man who…

I think what he said about acting made alot of sense, and it seems like an enormously stressful way to make a living. He's great as the co-star of Old Joy, a movie that maybe has 4 or 5 people in the whole thing.

I think he wants the energy that follows a great artistic experience to lead to other actions rather than exploration of the technical ends. I know I'm guilty of having trivia satisfy a thirst for knowledge rather than actual substantive context…

You get the idea in the movie that he was having sex with her, she passed out without him noticing, and then he finally notices, and right where he would stop, she yells at him to keep going. While he says that he might have had a different scene in the movie if he had his druthers, I don't think we can judge that…

your right about hellga…and now i feel grateful and chastened all at once.

I thought that was a strong part of tonight's episode, though overall, I agree with Leonard's review. I realized how precarious the kingdom is, and what needs to be done. It's crazy how much they've given up of themselves for power, to the point where, in the queen's case, your not sure if there's anything there…

ooooh, I do wanna flame you so bad, b/c I hate dashboard more than anything. but what good would that do? I'll just add that by all personal accounts I've heard, the singer for dashboard is as horrible a prick as his music makes him seem to be.

Venkman:
Did you go to law school? I did, Ihated it, and I was wondering if an avclub type could enjoy it?

his ponderland stuff is better than his stand up, and most of it is on youtube

2 rights don't make a wrong by mogwai brought me to tears a couple of times… I'd say it's my favorite song. I had a personal realization about all the love I had in my life while driving alone in the car listening to it, and I was just overwhelmed with gratitude.

i like destiny's child and some beyonce singles…I never really like her persona, but she's got some songs

david simon used to actually work for the sun, right? it's interesting that that turned out to be the least nuanced part of the season.

Last thing's first, I think the movie's justified in moving the blame away from the boy. The book was written by a man who was still riddled with guilt over the loss of his real life sister. The movie is neither adapted or directed by that man, and it would be cruel to place as much blame on him. The "villain" is…

zodiac
This maybe under BEST experience as well. I went to see zodiac with a friend a few weeks after it opened, in a theater with about 8 small groups of people, all spread out. Right about when Jake gyllenhall is in the basement of zodiac's house, this old white guy comes limping in the theater. He sits one…

my blair witch movie going sucked b/c there was a crowd of people who had already seen the movie, and would laugh before all of the scary bits> It's like they were there to fuck it up

I agree, the gateways seem to be there to give you solid advice where to start. Most people I know think to start with Akira, and it's far from the best introduction (for most people). What this article does nicely is let someone who knows nothing dip there toe in.
