I was trying to figure out how I knew the name 'Calpurnia' since I watched the episode on Friday.  Thank God.

The Broom of the System is so worth finishing.  Gets appropriately weird at the end; very enjoyable.

Did Tate actually kill the exterminator?  I could have sworn that when Larry was taking the clothes and icepick out of the wall, there was a quiet, raspy "Help me," coming from the hole.  Or maybe I'm making stuff up, because it did look like he was force-fed a whole lot of poison.

Doleful saxophone = I will listen to this album.  Also, I support anything connected to The Black Lips.

Those types of dreams happen to me all the time, since I'm a frequent nap-taker.  I'm not easily befuddled, but waking up from one of those will do it.

There are going to be admin fees!

Hey, me too!  Not many things better for a Halloween weekend.

Nitpick: Buster's hand chair is red, Lafayette's is blue.  So yes, I noticed. 

In Wait Until Spring, Bandini, he compares the freckles on a girl's face to a jar of pennies spilled on the floor. It's a simile that's stayed with me for years - my paraphrasing doesn't do it justice.

Read it at 14, loved it. I do not intend to read it again; don't have to to know it won't hold up. The Subterraneans will be my choice if I ever decide to revisit Kerouac.

Lee Van Cleef looks like John Hawkes. They are both attractive.

That is a spectacular idea.

I hope that was meant to be read in the voice of Chris Parnell, @Close-watcher, 'cause that's what I did.

Haven't seen GoF since becoming a Who fan…that is wonderful.

Fever to Tell's cover matches the music inside to a T. Nothing wrong with it.

Down and Out in Paris and London is spectacular, and so few people have read it. It's better than Henry Miller while tackling most of the same topics, minus the sex.

I've been a fan of D'Angelo's Cannes coverage since he started doing it here. It never gets as much traffic as regular AV features, but he puts the effort in to try to give us a proper idea of what the films present, and often makes note of the role of subjectivity. All this talk of letter grades is silly; I intend…

Hadn't seen that clip before, and it is intriguing. Hoping that they pursue that next season.

I'm standing up for The Langoliers; worth watching at least once! Even though the blind girl sucks and the monsters are in no way scary.

Yep, that was brutal. And funny.
